XPT8871 5W Mono Audio Amplifier IC

XPT8871 is an audio amplifier IC with non-FM interference and a mode to select the type AB or type D class operational power amplifier. At 5V working voltage, it can provide a maximum driving power of 5W (2Ω, BTL load, THD<10%). Using this IC as an amplifier is pretty easy it does not require any external components to operate.

XPT8871 Pinout Configuration

The audio amplifier has 8 pins, the table below can be referred to understand the pin configuration of the IC.

Pin Number	Pin Type	Pin Description
1	SD	Power down control pin
2	BYP	Internal Voltage bypass capacitor
3	MODE	Mode selection(AB or D type) Default set at AB type
4	-IN	Inverted Analog Input
5	VON	Negative Analog output(Speaker)
6	VDD	Positive voltage supply
7	GND	Ground
8	VOP	Positive Analog output(Speaker)

 

Application Circuit of the Audio Amplifier IC

XPT8871 application circuit is simple, with only a very small number of external devices. Here is a typical application circuit of the XPT8871 IC as an audio amplifier and the output provided at the speaker.

As we have already discussed, the 8 pins of the IC. VDD(pin 6) and the ground(pin 7) are the power pins that are to be connected to the supply voltage and the ground of the PSU, respectively. The Mode(pin 3) gives us functionality to select between the class of the power amplifier. If we provide 0 to the mode pin it acts as an AB-type amplifier whereas, a HIGH input would switch it to a D-type. The default mode is the AB-type. The BYP(pin 2) is for the internal voltage bypass capacitor. The IN(pin 4) is the input pin where the inverted analog input has to be provided. VOP(pin 8) and VON(pin 5) are the positive and negative analog output pins that are to be connected to the speaker to derive an output.
