Stopped vehicles which are fitted with engine idling reduction technology can suffer significant drops in battery output voltage. This can be very detrimental to the sound quality and clarity of in-car entertainment systems.
A minimum operating voltage of just 6V and built-in mute and standby functions help to maintain battery charge, while mobile phone interference protection enables a superior in-car listening experience. The TCB001HQ’s low operating voltage also offers more stable operation, prevents loss of sound and reduces noise disturbance.
Samples of the TCB001HQ power amplifier IC are available now, with full production scheduled to commence in March.
