GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SSM2211 is a high-performance audio amplifier that delivers
1 W RMS of low distortion audio power into a bridge-connected
8 Ω speaker load, (or 1.5 W RMS into 4 Ω load). It operates
over a wide temperature range and is specified for single-supply
voltages between 2.7 V and 5.5 V. When operating from batteries,
it will continue to operate down to 1.75 V. This makes the
SSM2211 the best choice for unregulated applications such as toys
and games. Featuring a 4 MHz bandwidth and distortion below
0.2 % THD @ 1 W, superior performance is delivered at higher
power or lower speaker load impedance than competitive units.
The low differential dc output voltage results in negligible losses
in the speaker winding, and makes high value dc blocking ca-
pacitors unnecessary. Battery life is extended by using the
Shutdown mode, which reduces quiescent current drain to
typically 100 nA.

The SSM2211 is designed to operate over the –20°C to +85°C
temperature range. The SSM2211 is available in SO-8 and
LFCSP (Lead Frame Chip Scale Package) surface mount pack-
ages. The SO-8 features the patented Thermal Coastline lead
frame (see Figure 12). The advanced mechanical packaging of the
SSM2211 ensures lower chip temperature and enhanced per-
formance relative to standard packaging options. DIP samples
are available; you should request a special quotation on produc-
tion quantities. An evaluation board is available upon request of
your local Analog Device sales office.
Applications include personal portable computers, hands-free
telephones and transceivers, talking toys, intercom systems and
other low voltage audio systems requiring 1 W output power.
