PAM8403 Amplifier Board
The main power Amplifier IC is the PAM8403, as you can see, the below image other than the IC, the module consists of a few components like capacitors and resistors.
The PAM8403 amplifier board is a dual-channel (stereo) amplifier that produces 6W (3W+3W) output. As any major amplifier system needs to have short circuit protection, PAM8403 has inbuilt short circuit protection that is essential for trouble-free operations. PAM8403 Amplifier IC itself does not require any kind of heat sink, so this will be a perfect choice for custom speaker projects. It can directly drive 4Ω or 8Ω speakers. It is mandatory to use a proper speaker with not more than a 3W output rating.
As this is a stereo amplifier board, the input section has two input L (Left) and R (Right) with a common ground in between them. Use any kind of audio input that needs to be amplified and it will produce 3W + 3W audio output.
This amplifier module provides a maximum gain of 24 dB with 10% THD at 5V DC input and 4 Ohms load output. It does not require heatsink which also saves additional board space. Irrespective of the heatsink, it could also provide thermal protection which is another essential feature for such a small wattage amplifier module.
PAM8403 Amplifier Board Interfacing Diagram
Circuit diagram for interfacing with two 3W speakers with the PAM8403 Amplifier Board is given below. The PAM8403 Amplifier Board can be powered using any voltage ranging from 2.5V to 5V DC. But it is recommended to use 5V input for maximum output performance.
Applications:
- Speaker output in LCD Monitors / TV Projectors
- Speaker output amplifier in Notebook Computers
- Can be used for Portable Speakers, Portable DVD Players, Game Machines
- Any possible amplifier-based project where small space and 5V output is available.
