PAM8406DR from Diodes Incorporated, in a SOIC-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | +OUT_L | output | Left channel positive (non-inverting) speaker output from the BTL power stage. Drives one terminal of the left speaker load (2Ω/4Ω/8Ω) in Class-D or Class-AB mode. |
| 2 | PGNDL | power_in | Power ground return for the left channel Class-D/AB output stage. Should be tied to the main system ground plane with low-impedance routing. |
| 3 | -OUT_L | output | Left channel negative (inverting) speaker output from the BTL power stage. Second terminal of the left speaker load, differential with +OUT_L. |
| 4 | PVDDL | power_in | Power supply input for the left channel output stage (2.5V-5.5V). Bypass locally with ceramic capacitors close to the pin. |
| 5 | MUTE | input | Active-low mute control input. Drive low to mute both channels; drive high (VIH ≥ 1.4V) for normal operation. VIL ≤ 0.4V at VDD = 5.0V. |
| 6 | VDD | power_in | Analog VDD supply for the internal small-signal circuitry (2.5V-5.5V). Bypass to GND with a low-ESR ceramic capacitor. |
| 7 | INL | input | Left channel single-ended audio input. AC-coupled through an external input capacitor to set the high-pass corner; internally biased to VDD/2. |
| 8 | VREF | passive | Internal analog reference (mid-supply bias) output. Connect a bypass capacitor from VREF to GND for PSRR and low-noise operation. |
| 9 | MODE | input | Output mode select. Logic high (≥1.4V) selects Class-D filterless output; logic low (≤0.4V) selects Class-AB output. |
| 10 | INR | input | Right channel single-ended audio input. AC-coupled through an external input capacitor to set the high-pass corner; internally biased to VDD/2. |
| 11 | GND | power_in | Analog ground return for the small-signal front end and reference circuitry. Tie to the system ground plane. |
| 12 | SHDN | input | Active-low shutdown control. Drive low to place the device in low-current shutdown (ISD < 1µA); drive high (≥1.4V) to enable. VIL ≤ 0.4V at VDD = 5.0V. |
| 13 | PVDDR | power_in | Power supply input for the right channel output stage (2.5V-5.5V). Bypass locally with ceramic capacitors close to the pin. |
| 14 | -OUT_R | output | Right channel negative (inverting) speaker output from the BTL power stage. Second terminal of the right speaker load, differential with +OUT_R. |
| 15 | PGNDR | power_in | Power ground return for the right channel Class-D/AB output stage. Tie to the main system ground plane with low-impedance routing. |
| 16 | +OUT_R | output | Right channel positive (non-inverting) speaker output from the BTL power stage. Drives one terminal of the right speaker load (2Ω/4Ω/8Ω) in Class-D or Class-AB mode. |
