The TEA2025D from STMicroelectronics is a Class AB audio amplifier IC designed for mono or stereo output configurations. It delivers 4.7W of power into an 8Ω load in mono mode or 2.4W per channel in stereo mode, making it suitable for low-to-medium power audio applications. Operating within a 3V to 12V supply range, this surface-mount (SO-20 package) amplifier is optimized for efficiency and reliability. Though marked as obsolete, it remains a viable choice for legacy designs due to its robust performance and thermal protection features.
The TEA2025D balances power efficiency, thermal resilience, and compact form factor, making it a pragmatic choice for audio amplification in cost-sensitive or legacy projects. While newer alternatives exist, its depop suppression and wide voltage tolerance provide distinct advantages in noise-sensitive applications. Engineers valuing reliability and simplicity may still find it a compelling option despite its obsolete status.
