Monolithic Linear IC

LA2901V
Four-Channel High-Output Line Amplifier
for Car Audio Systems

Overview Package Dimensions

The LA2901V is a high output level 4-channel line unit: mm
amplifier designed for car audio systems. This line 3175B-SSOP24 (275 mil)
amplifier provides an output signal with a significantly
higher amplitude than the output signal provided by earlier [LA2901V]
preamplifiers. This higher amplitude significantly 7.8
improves the signal-to-noise ratio in the connection from 24
the main unit to the external power amplifier, and results
in improved power amplifier performance.
