The NTE7052 is a mono output amplifier in a 9Lead SIP type package designed for use in battery fed portable radios and mainsfed equipment such as televisions. This device needs no external components because it makes use of the BridgeTiedLoad (BTL) principle. Consequently it has, at the same supply voltage, a higher output power compared to a conventional Single Ended output stages. The NTE7052 is capable of delivering an output power of 1W into a loudspeaker load of 8 with a 6V supply or 3W into a 16 loudspeaker at 11V without the need of an external heatsink. The gain is internally fixed at 40dB. Special attention is given to ON/OFF switch click suppression, and it has a good overall stability. The load can be short circuited at all input conditions.
