Product Features:
-
2-Channel Bridge Amplifier: The IC 4440 is a 2-channel bridge amplifier. This means it can drive two speakers in a bridge configuration, doubling the power output compared to a standard non-bridged amplifier, making it suitable for delivering higher output power to speakers.
-
Power Output:
- The amplifier delivers 6W of output power per channel at a standard supply voltage of 12V, which is ideal for driving small speakers or low-power audio systems.
- In a bridge configuration, the total power output can reach 19W, providing better efficiency and higher sound quality, especially in mid-power audio systems.
-
Wide Voltage Range: This IC operates with a typical supply voltage of 12V, which is common in various audio and DIY electronics projects, making it compatible with a wide range of systems.
-
Low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): The IC 4440 is designed to provide low total harmonic distortion, ensuring that the audio output remains clear and crisp, even at higher output levels.
-
TO-220 Package: The IC is housed in a TO-220 package, which is known for its excellent thermal management and reliability. This packaging allows the IC to dissipate heat efficiently, ensuring stable operation over time. The 14-pin configuration provides easy integration into standard circuit boards.
-
Compact and Durable: Despite its powerful output, the IC 4440 is compact and durable, making it well-suited for portable audio amplifiers, radios, and other devices where space is limited but high power is required.
