## Description

The Adafruit Mono 2.5W Class D Audio Amplifier delivers powerful sound from a tiny package. Based on the PAM8302 chip, it drives 4–8 ohm speakers at up to 2.5 W with over 90% efficiency — making it ideal for portable and battery-powered audio projects. A significant upgrade over basic LM386-based amplifiers. The amplifier runs from 2.0–5.5 V DC and includes built-in thermal and over-current protection. An on-board trim pot lets you adjust volume down from the default 24 dB gain. The differential inputs pass through 1.0 µF coupling capacitors, and the bridge-tied output connects directly to the speaker — no connection to ground required. Key Features 2.5 W Output – Into 4 Ω at 10% THD; 1.5 W into 8 Ω (at 5.5 V supply) Class D Efficiency – Over 90% efficient at 8 Ω, half-watt load Wide Supply Range – 2.0–5.5 V DC, perfect for battery power Volume Trim Pot – Adjustable from the fixed 24 dB gain Differential Inputs – AC-coupled via 1.0 µF capacitors; tie A− to ground for single-ended sources Bridge-Tied Output – Drives speakers directly; not designed to feed another amplifier Built-In Protection – Thermal shutdown and short-circuit/over-current protection Low Power Draw – 4 mA quiescent, 1 µA in shutdown mode Filterless Design – Ferrite bead + capacitors on output; 50 dB PSRR at 1 kHz Ideal For Portable and battery-powered audio projects Adding sound output to microcontroller projects Alarm and notification systems Interactive exhibits and installations Package Contents 1× Adafruit PAM8302 Mono Class D Amplifier Breakout (assembled and tested) 1× Header strip 1× 3.5 mm screw terminal block (colour may vary) Note: Speaker not included. Use any speaker with 4 Ω or greater impedance. The bridge-tied output should drive speakers directly — do not connect the output to another amplifier.
