LA4440 general description:
So it's a very simple audio amplifier based on the LA4440 Integrated Circuits and this will take your computer’s headphone level output and amplify it to drive a pair of external speakers. This project is destinated for all that are listening to music or movies on laptops and computers or car. This circuit uses an LA4440 and some supporting components to give you much more power, while retaining a small package that you can use. The IC is a dual channel audio power amplifier, with low distortion, and a good frequency range.
Using 2 channels, the LA4440 will output 6 watts per channel, that can drive much larger speakers than a laptop can hold. When you set up a small enclosure(s), a 12V power supply, and an audio jack connection to the laptop you’ll have a nice enhancement to your laptop audio enjoyment.
LA4440 features:
- Built-in 2 channels (dual) enabling use in stereo and bridge
- amplifier applications.
- Dual : 6W×2 (typ.)
- Bridge : 19W (typ.)
- Minimun number of external parts required.
- Small pop noise at the time of power supply ON/OFF and good starting balance.
- Good ripple rejection : 46dB (typ.)
- Good channel separation.
- Small residual noise (Rg=0).
- Low distortion over a wide range from low frequencies to high frequencies.
- Easy to design radiator fin.
- Built-in audio muting function.
- Built-in protectors.
- Thermal protector
- Overvoltage, surge voltage protector
- Pin-to-pin short protector
