2 Benefits

The voltage limiter and brown out protection features provide control which may improve the end user experience. Benefits from using these features include:

  • Helps prevent system wide supply collapse at the end of battery charge cycle
  • Allows system to shut down in controlled manner
  • Helps prevent output from clipping as operating headroom is reduced
  • Provides control of maximum output power for all battery levels
  • Helps extend battery life
  • The audio amplifier automatically adjusts itself requiring no software to adjust audio content to achieve desired performance
