Audio ICs
High-output dual power amplifier
BA5415A / BA5416
The BA5415A and BA5416 are dual power amplifier ICs that operate off a 9V to 15V supply. When driving a 4Ω load off a
9V supply, the BA5415A does not require a heatsink. The BA5416 uses a lost-cost package. The basic characteristics
(total harmonic distortion etc.) of the amplifiers are excellent, and both ICs include a standby switch function.

Operation notes
(1) Input circuit
The structure of the input circuit is shown in Fig.4. The IC can be used without coupling capacitors, but a maximum of
0.5µA of bias current (I
BIN
) flows from the input pin, so if potentiometer sliding noise results from this, connect an input
capacitor C
IN
as shown below. To prevent degradation of the IC characteristics, the input bias resistor is not built into
the IC. Connect an input bias resistor (R
IN
) between the input and GND (the recommended value is about 33kΩ).

It is possible to reduce the gain by increasing R

, but the amount of feedback will increase, and oscillation will be
more likely to occur. We recommend that you set the gain to 30dB or higher.

(3) Oscillation countermeasures
We recommend that the capacitor (C1) connected between the B. S pin and the V
CC
pin for oscillation prevention be
a metal-film component with good temperature and high-frequency characteristics. Ceramic capacitors have poor
temperature characteristics, so if used, allow sufficient oscillation margin. It is also possible to connect a capacitor for
oscillation prevention between the output and GND (C2). The oscillation margin depends on the PCB pattern and the
mounting position of the capacitor. Design your PCB after referring to the application example PCB.
