LM2879 Dual 8W Audio Amplifier
General Description
The LM2879 is a monolithic dual power amplifier which of-
fers high quality performance for stereo phonographs tape
players recorders AM-FM stereo receivers etc
The LM2879 will deliver 8W channel to an 8X load The
amplifier is designed to operate with a minimum of external
components and contains an internal bias regulator to bias
each amplifier Device overload protection consists of both
internal current limit and thermal shutdown

Note 1
The input voltage range is normally limited to
g
0 7V with respect to pin 1 This range may be extended by shorting pin 1 to the positive supply
Note 2
For operation at ambient temperature greater than 25 C the LM2879 must be derated based on a maximum 150 C junction temperature Thermal
resistance junction to case is 3 C W Thermal resistance case to ambient is 40 C W
