LA4601N
Monolithic Linear IC
Audio Power Amplifier for Radio
Cassette Recorders
Overview
The LA4601N is a modified package version of the LA4600 power IC that requires an extremely small number of external
components. While its main specifications are for use in VCC = 15V systems, it can be used without a heat sink in VCC =
9V systems. The design of the LA4601N obviates the need for external BS and NF capacitors and an oscillation prevention
RC circuit, since these functions are integrated in the device itself.
Functions
• Pin compatibility with the LA4600.
• No heat sink required when used at 9V.
• Output power at VCC = 15V, 3Ω load: 7.0W×2.
• Built-in standby switch.
• Built-in thermal protection circuit.
