The A7023 is a cost-effective 4W-per-channel stereo filter-free Class-D audio amplifier designed with Apexoneˉs patent pending technologies and architecture. The chip features very low 0.02%-THD+N, high 94dB-SNR, high 92%-efficiencies and good 73dB-PSRR at 217Hz. Large output power, high efficiencies, low THD+N, high SNR, good PSRR and differential architecture together provide the best immunity to noise for portable and semi-portable devices. Integrated internal mute control function can suppress click pop sound. Additionally, the A7023ˉs fast startup time, low shutdown current and small package size make the A7023 an ideal choice for both powered speakers and portable devices -- the A7023 can drive speakers as low as 4-Ohm or even lower.
