PAM8610 Digital Stereo Class-D Amplifier Module 2x15W Output

Description

1. Amplification: The primary function of the PAM8610 module is to amplify audio signals. It can take low-level audio signals from various sources, such as audio players, smartphones, or microcontrollers, and amplify them to drive speakers.
2. Class-D Amplifier: The PAM8610 utilizes a Class-D amplifier configuration, which is known for its high efficiency, low heat generation, and compact size. Class-D amplifiers are ideal for portable and compact audio devices.
3. Power Output: The module can deliver a powerful audio output, typically providing 15 watts of power per channel (15W x 2) when operating at its maximum capability.
4. Stereo Output: It offers stereo audio output, meaning it can amplify and drive two separate audio channels independently, usually for left and right speakers.
5. Operating Voltage: The module generally operates at a voltage of 12V DC, which is commonly provided by an external power supply or battery source.
6. Potentiometer (Pot): Some versions of the board feature an onboard potentiometer (variable resistor) that allows you to adjust the audio volume. Rotating the potentiometer clockwise or counterclockwise changes the amplification level.
7. Input Connections: The module typically has input terminals for connecting audio sources. These terminals may be labeled as “INL” and “INR” for left and right audio channels, respectively.
8. Speaker Connections: There are output terminals for connecting speakers. These terminals are often labeled as “OUTL” and “OUTR” for left and right channels.
9. Filter Capacitors: The module may include filter capacitors to reduce noise and improve audio quality.
10. Over-Current and Over-Temperature Protection: Some versions of the module include protection circuitry to prevent damage from over-current and excessive temperatures.
11. Compact Size: The PAM8610 amplifier module is compact and lightweight, making it suitable for integration into small audio projects and portable devices.
