Supply and thermal considerations
The 3V to 3.6V supply range ties directly to a 3.3V rail — no boost converter needed. The exposed pad on the 32-HTSSOP must be soldered to a copper plane; a 2-layer board with 1 oz copper and a 2-inch-square pad area is the minimum for sustained 55W output. Operating temperature from -25°C to 85°C covers most consumer and commercial audio enclosures, but not automotive cabin or outdoor direct-sun applications.
