TPA6201A1DRB

Audio Amplifiers Overview

The TPA6201A1DRB is a mono, fully differential Class-AB audio power amplifier manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V and delivers 1.7 W of output power into an 8-ohm load. The device features a total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) of 0.03% and draws a typical quiescent current of 4 mA. It is housed in an 8-pin SON package with dimensions of 3 mm x 3 mm. The component supports surface-mount installation and functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Audio Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DRB corresponds to the tape-and-reel packaging format when ordering. Confirm that the 8-SON package footprint matches your PCB layout requirements. Ensure compatibility with single-supply voltages between 2.5 V and 5.5 V. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards. Validate lead times with authorized distributors as availability may fluctuate.

Audio Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-fidelity audio amplification in compact portable devices. The fully differential input simplifies interface design with source components. Consider the 1.7 W output capability against your speaker impedance requirements. Evaluate the 8-SON package size constraints relative to your board space limitations. Compare quiescent current specifications against other mono amplifiers for power efficiency needs.

Audio Amplifiers Part Context

This part belongs to the TPA6201A1 series of audio amplifiers from Texas Instruments. It is designed specifically for mobile and portable consumer electronics where space and power efficiency are critical. The series offers various package options including DRB and DGNR variants to suit different assembly processes. It complements other TI audio solutions like the TPA6204A1 and TPA6205A1.

Audio Amplifiers Replacement Considerations

The TPA6201A1DRBR is a direct replacement variant with identical electrical characteristics but potentially different reel specifications. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution. Other members of the TPA620x family may offer similar performance but require checking specific output power and package differences.
