TPA2011D1: Can TPA2011D1 drive two 1W 8 ohm speakers?

Part Number: TPA2011D1

Hi experts,

    From the datasheet, TPA2011D1 is a mono device. Customer wonders if they do not distinguish between left and right sound channels, can they use TPA2011D1 drive two 1W 8 ohm speakers?

    If not, could you pls help recommend a suitable device? Thanks!

  • Hi Skylar,

    TPA2011D1 is analog input amplifier, so it'll just play whatever signal it has at the input, right or left are not applicable in this case.
    Driving 2 speakers in parallel is essentially driving a load of half of the impedance, in this case 4Ω is still supported so it should be OK. The same signal will be output from both speakers.
