LA6500L-FA-E

Overview

The LA6500L-FA-E is a single-channel power amplifier integrated circuit manufactured by onsemi. It operates within a supply voltage range of 30 V minimum to 30 V maximum and delivers an output current of 1 A per channel. The device features a typical input bias current of 100 nA and an input offset voltage of 2 mV. Its slew rate is specified at 0.15 V/µs, with a supply current consumption of 6 mA. The component is designed for through-hole mounting in a TO-220-5H package and functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -20°C to 75°C.

Feature Summary

• Single-channel power amplifier architecture optimized for audio signal amplification applications
• Integrated thermal protection mechanisms to ensure operational safety under varying load conditions
• Through-hole TO-220-5H packaging facilitates efficient heat dissipation and robust mechanical mounting

Applications

• Audio power amplification circuits
• General-purpose linear amplifier designs
• Industrial control systems requiring low-power signal processing

Procurement Notes

This component has reached End-of-Life (EOL) status as of March 31, 2018. Procurement must rely on secondary market distributors or authorized surplus suppliers. Verify RoHS compliance documentation and material composition declarations prior to integration. Confirm package integrity and pin compatibility during incoming inspection to mitigate risks associated with obsolete inventory handling.

Selection Notes

Select this part only when legacy design compatibility or specific TO-220-5H form factor requirements are mandatory. Evaluate the 1 A output capability against load impedance to ensure adequate power delivery without exceeding thermal limits. Consider the limited bandwidth defined by the 0.15 V/µs slew rate for high-fidelity audio versus general-purpose switching applications where speed is less critical.

Part Context

The LA6500L-FA-E belongs to the LA6500 series of power amplifiers from onsemi. This series is characterized by its ability to drive moderate loads in single-supply configurations. The FA-E suffix denotes specific packaging and environmental compliance attributes within the broader product family, distinguishing it from other variants in terms of lead finish and housing material.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source data. Designers should consult onsemi technical support or authorized distributors for qualified alternatives that match the electrical specifications and pinout configuration.
