The recommended operating voltage range for the TDA1302T is 4.5V to 18V, although it can operate up to 20V with reduced performance.
To ensure stability, make sure to decouple the supply pins (VCC and GND) with a 10uF capacitor, and use a 100nF capacitor between the output pin (OUT) and GND. Also, keep the layout as symmetrical as possible and avoid long traces.
The maximum output current of the TDA1302T is 100mA, but it's recommended to keep it below 50mA for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
While the TDA1302T can be used as a voltage regulator, it's not recommended due to its limited output current and voltage range. It's primarily designed as a low-noise, high-impedance amplifier.
The gain of the TDA1302T can be calculated using the formula: Gain = (R2 / R1) x (1 + (R3 / R4)), where R1, R2, R3, and R4 are the external resistors connected to the amplifier.
