The TS4990ID from STMicroelectronics is a Class AB mono audio amplifier designed for compact, low-power audio applications. With a 2.2V to 5.5V supply range, it delivers 1.2W of output power into an 8Ω load, making it ideal for portable and battery-operated devices. Packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (Tube), this surface-mount IC integrates advanced features like depop circuitry, differential inputs, standby mode, and thermal protection, ensuring reliable performance in space-constrained designs. Although marked as Obsolete, it remains a robust choice for legacy systems requiring high-quality audio amplification with minimal distortion.
The TS4990ID excels in delivering efficient, high-quality audio amplification for low-voltage systems. Its thermal protection, depop suppression, and differential inputs set it apart from basic Class AB amplifiers, while its compact form factor suits space-sensitive designs. Though obsolete, its reliability and compliance make it a viable option for niche applications. Engineers seeking a balance of performance and power efficiency in legacy or portable audio systems will find this IC a pragmatic solution.
