Overview
The LA4589W is a 1.5V stereo headphone preamplifier and power amplifier IC that provides all the functions of a complete playback system in a single chip, making it idealfor battery-powered, portable cassette players.
The LA4589W incorporates a metal/normal-tape equalization preamplifier, a power amplifier dual power supply ripple filters, a reference voltage amplifier that enables small-value (under 1 µF) virtual-earth capacitors to be used, and a system controller.
