The is a high-performance audio power amplifier capable of delivering 56W of continuous average power an 8 load with 0.1% THD+N from to 20kHz. The performance of the LM3875, utilizing its Self Peak Instantaneous Temperature (°Ke) (SPiKeTM) protection circuitry, puts in a class above discrete and hybrid amplifiers by providing an inherently, dynamically protected Safe Operating Area (SOA). SPiKe protection means that these parts are completely safeguarded at the output against overvoltage, undervoltage, overloads, caused by shorts to the supplies, thermal runaway, and instantaneous temperature peaks. The LM3875 maintains an excellent signal-to-noise ratio of greater than 95dB(min) with a typical low noise floor 2.0µV. It exhibits extremely low THD+N values 0.06% at the rated output into the rated load over the audio spectrum, and provides excellent linearity with an IMD (SMPTE) typical rating of 0.004%.
