DESCRIPTION 

The IS31AP2031 is a Class-K audio power amplifier 
with automatic gain control. It drives up to 2.0W (10% 
THD+N) into an 8

 speaker from a 4.2V VCC supply. 

The IS31AP2031 provides low cost, space saving 
solution for portable equipments which need audio 
output with higher power by boosting up supply voltage. 
Its external components just include a few capacitors 
and resistors (no inductor). The IS31AP2031 use fully 
differential design to reduce RF noise. The 
IS31AP2031 integrates de-pop circuitry to reduce pop 
and click noise during power on/off or shutdown enable 
operation. The IS31AP2031 also integrates thermal 
and short circuit protection function.

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT 

 

 4.5V, 2A power supply 

 

Audio source (i.e. MP3 player, Notebook PC, etc.) 

 An 

8

 speaker 

 

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS 

 

 4.5V power supply 

Caution: Do not exceed the conditions listed above; otherwise 
the board will be damaged 

 

PROCEDURE 

The IS31AP2031 demo board is fully assembled and 
tested. Follow the steps listed below to verify board 
operation. 

Caution: Do not turn on the power supply until all connections 
are completed. 

1)  Connect an 8

 (or larger) speaker across the 

OUT- terminal and OUT+ terminal. 

2)  Connect the ground terminal of the power supply 

to the GND and the positive terminal to the VCC. 
Or connect DC power to connector (DC IN).   

3)  If the audio source is differential, remove jumper 

JP1, connect the negative of the audio source to 
the IN- terminal, and connect the positive of the 
audio source to IN+ terminal. 

4)  If the audio source is single-ended, connect the 

audio source to the IN- terminal, and close jumper 
JP1; or connect audio source to the audio 
connector (AUDIO IN) and close jumper JP1. 

5)  Turn on the power supply, and pay attention to the 

supply current. If the current exceeds 1.5A, 
please check for circuit fault. 

6)  Turn on the audio source.
