STMicroelectronics FDA901 Automotive Power Amplifier

STMicroelectronics FDA901 Automotive Power Amplifier is a quad-bridge Class D (BCD) amplifier designed for car radio automotive applications. The module integrates a high-performance D/A converter with powerful MOSFET outputs in class D to provide outstanding efficiency compared to the standard class AB. The integrated D/A converter allows outstanding performances (115dB S/N ratio with 110dB of dynamic range). The feedback loop includes the output L-C lowpass filter, allowing superior frequency response linearity and lower distortion independently from the inductor and capacitor quality. STMicroelectronics FDA901 Automotive Power Amplifier is AEC-Q100 qualified.
