Description
The STEVAL-CCA040V1 demonstration board is designed using the STA540SAN dual/quad class AB power amplifier assembled in a Clipwatt 15 package.
Thanks to the high flexibility offered by the STA540SAN device, it is possible to configure the board to realize a stereo dual bridge (BTL) amplifier, a four channel single-ended (SE) amplifier or a 2.1 channel amplifier composed of a stereo BTL + mono BTL amplifier.
