GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA8566TH is an integrated class-B output amplifier contained in a 20-lead small outline plastic package. The device contains 2 amplifiers in a Bridge-Tied Load (BTL) configuration. The output power is 2 × 25 W in a 4 Ω load or 2 × 40 W in a 2 Ω load. It has a differential input stage and 2 diagnostic outputs. The device is primarily developed for car radio applications
