The 3W rating into 3Ω is the maximum output power at 1% THD+N typical for this Class AB stage. The supply voltage directly sets the available swing: at 5V you get the full 3W; at 3.3V output drops proportionally.
That means no last-time-buy window, no end-of-life notice pending. The NOPB suffix confirms lead-free / RoHS-compliant finish — no separate Pb-free conversion needed.
