NTE1378 Datasheet | NTE Electronics

Description : The NTE1378 is a monolithic integrated circuit in a 5- Lead TO220 type package intended for use as an audio class AB amplifier. Typically, it provides 12W output power (THD = 10%) at VS = ±12V/4Ω. This device provides high output current and has very low harmonic and cross- over distortion. Further, the NTE1378 incorporates a short circuit protection system prising an arrangement for automatically limiting the dissipated power so as to keep the working point of the output transistors within their safe operating area. A thermal shut- down system is also included. Absolute Maximum Ratings: Supply Voltage, VS - - - - - - - - - - - - . . . . ±15V Input Voltage, VI - - - - - - - - - - - - - . . .
