A 10uF capacitor in parallel with a 100nF capacitor is recommended for power supply decoupling to ensure stable operation.
Ensure good heat dissipation by providing a heat sink or a metal pad on the PCB, and consider using a thermal shutdown circuit to prevent overheating.
The maximum power that can be delivered to the speaker depends on the supply voltage and the speaker impedance. For a 12V supply, the maximum power is around 20W into a 4Ω load.
The gain of the TDA7266M can be configured by selecting the appropriate resistors for the feedback network. A gain of 20dB is typical, but can be adjusted to suit the application.
Yes, the TDA7266M is AEC-Q100 qualified, making it suitable for use in automotive applications. However, ensure that the device is properly protected from voltage transients and other automotive-specific requirements.
