Frequently Asked Questions

Why is ground isolation needed in car audio systems?

It eliminates electrical noise generated by car electrics that enters the power amplifier input via the chassis.

How effective are these amplifiers at rejecting noise?

The typical Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) is 57dB at 1kHz.

Are large external capacitors required for installation?

No, the required capacitance values for the external capacitors are small, allowing for compact design.

What voltage range should I use for operation?

The recommended power supply voltage (Vcc) ranges from a minimum of 4 V to 18 V.
