PAM8303DBSC

Diodes Incorporated · Audio Power OpAmps · MSOP-8

PAM8303DBSC from Diodes Incorporated, in a MSOP-8. 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+ output Positive BTL (bridge-tied load) Class-D switching output. Drives one terminal of the speaker via an optional ferrite-bead EMI filter. High-side PMOS / low-side NMOS output stage; RDS(on) ~365 mΩ typ at VDD=5V (MSOP/DFN).
2 PVDD power_in Power supply for the H-bridge output stage. Recommended operating range 2.8V to 5.5V (abs max 6.0V). Decouple with 1µF ceramic close to the pin plus a 10µF bulk cap; keep separate from analog VDD trace.
3 VDD power_in Analog power supply for the input amplifier, bias and reference. 2.8V to 5.5V operating; decouple with 1µF ceramic close to the pin. Route separately from PVDD back to the supply.
4 IN- input Negative differential audio input. AC-coupled through an input capacitor Ci and gain-setting resistor Ri; internal 150 kΩ feedback sets Gain = 2 × 150 kΩ / Ri (V/V). Input biased to VDD/2 internally.
5 IN+ input Positive differential audio input. AC-coupled through Ci and Ri; for single-ended sources the unused input is AC-grounded through Ci. Input biased to VDD/2 internally.
6 SD input Active-low shutdown terminal. Drive low (VIL ≤ 0.3V at VDD=5V) to place the device in shutdown (ISD ≈ 0.5µA typ); drive high (VIH ≥ 1.5V at VDD=5V) for normal operation. Do not leave floating.
7 GND power_in Device ground reference. Tie signal-ground return of input components to this pin, then to system ground; keep separated from power-stage ground return per layout guidelines.
8 OUT- output Negative BTL Class-D switching output. Drives the opposite speaker terminal from OUT+ (180° out of phase). Use an optional ferrite-bead + capacitor EMI filter for radiated emissions.
