TFA9879HN: Mono BTL Class D audio amplifier for portable applications with digital input

The TFA9879 contains a processor that supports a range of sound processing features including a 5-band parametric equalizer, separate bass and treble control, a dynamic range compressor, soft clip control and volume control. Excellent audio performance combined with high Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) is achieved through the use of a closed loop configuration.

Two independent digital audio inputs (I²S-bus / PCM / IOM2) are available for connecting both a baseband and a multimedia processor.

The TFA9879 is available in a HVQFN24 package.
