Overview
The TDA7491LP is a dual BTL class-D audio amplifier designed by STMicroelectronics, specifically for use in LCD TVs and monitors. This amplifier operates with a single power supply and is known for its high efficiency, which eliminates the need for a separate heatsink due to its exposed-pad-down (EPD) package. The filterless operation of the TDA7491LP reduces the external component count, making it a compact and efficient solution for audio amplification needs.
