[Design Note]
Select the target PO under the a rated load/rated supply voltage conditions of RL = 3 to 8Ω and VCC = 5 to 18V. Make
sure that it does not exceed the package Pd max of 37.5W. Note that heavy load and high VCC conditions would bring
about power efficiency deterioration depending on the drive design employed.

Note 1 : The motor should not be connected to the power switch pin since transient noise may appear on the amplifier
outputs when the motor is started or stopped.
Note 2 : Audio mute is enabled by connecting a 300Ω resistance between the DC pin (pin 10) and ground. DC bias
control of both the stereo (L ch, R ch) and BTL (super bass) channels is there enabled, and all audio output
signals can be muted by controlling the MUTE pin.

Notes on using this IC
• Always short power supply pins 9 and 16 on the copper foil of the printed circuit pattern and apply the equivalent
power supply voltage.
• Pin 17 is designed for the power switch.
It can be switched on and off with a small current capacity switch, but the point to watch out for is that if the voltgae
loss between pins 17 and 18 is too large, there may be problems in the biasing and the power may drop.
• When switching with a transistor, the general practice is to insert a PNP transistor between pins 17 and 18.

Notes on Mounting Radiator Fin

1. The tightening torque should be in the range of 39 to 59N · cm.
2. The distance between screw holes of the radiator fin must coincide with the distance between screw holes of the IC.
With case outline dimensions L and R referred to, the screws must be tightened with the distance between them as
close to each other as possible.

3. The screw to be used must have a head equivalent to the one of truss machine screw or binder machine screw defined
by JIS. Washers must be also used to protect the IC case.
4. No foreign matter such as cutting particles must exist between heat sink and radiator fin. When applying grease on
the junction surface, it must be applied uniformly on the whole surface.
5. IC lead pins must be soldered to the printed circuit board after the radiator fin is mounted on the IC.
