Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
Compact Class D audio amplifier delivering 3.2W into 4Ω at 5V supply. Features integrated output filter, requires minimal external components, and supports I2S audio input interface. Ideal for portable speakers, headsets, and battery-powered audio devices requiring efficient mono amplification.
Package: TQFN-16-1EP (3×3mm, EP) · 16 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
This 3×3mm QFN-16 with 0.5mm pitch requires a breakout board to prototype effectively. The fine pitch makes hand soldering nearly impossible, and the hidden pads underneath prevent breadboard use entirely. A breakout board converts the package to through-hole or larger pads, enabling rapid iteration with wideband amplifiers, motor drivers, and power management ICs that typically use this footprint.
