Q: RC4580 current limit
I'm interested in the RC4580 amplifier and want to know if it is short circuit protected. There is no indication that it is protected in the datasheet.
If it is not short circuit protected, what short circuit protected device would be similar in performance and cost?
A: Re: RC4580 current limit
The absolute maximum output current is 50mA, but the data sheet chart shows the shorted output current is greater than 50mA. Output shorts are not allowed.
I think that I found what I need using the LM833
