Mono or stereo wiring — one chip, two topologies
For stereo operation, wire each channel to its own 4 Ω speaker — the part delivers 15 W per side. For mono, bridge the outputs into a single 8 Ω load for 30 W. The datasheet application diagrams show the BTL (bridged) connection for mono and the single-ended filter for stereo. The mute and shutdown pins are active-low; pull them to ground to disable the output, or leave them pulled up through a resistor for normal operation. The depop circuit ramps the output bias slowly on startup, so you don't get a thump into the speaker.
Active, ROHS3, sourced to order
The TPA3121D2PWP carries an Active lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant. No last-time-buy or end-of-life notice is in effect, so it remains suitable for new designs and production replenishment. Sourced through independent distribution and quoted to order against an RFQ; availability and current pricing confirmed at quote time.
