Nisshibo - NA1150: Powerful amplifier for car audio systems
The NA1150 from Nisshinbo – a switching audio mixer, ideal for microcontroller-based audio systems

The NA1150 from Nisshinbo integrates load diagnosis functionality, which helps detect early faults such as speaker disconnection and short circuits, and notifies the microcontroller for timely corrective actions. With a direct PWM input from the MCU, it allows direct connection to the microcontroller without the need for additional components like DAC, low-pass filters, or voice synthesis LSI, helping to minimize noise and improve sound quality.
In addition to providing an output power of up to 1.5W with low THD+N, the integrated H-bridge circuit reduces the number of components and installation space while still ensuring clear and high-quality sound. The NA1150 also incorporates protection mechanisms such as under-voltage lockout (UVLO), over-temperature detection, and over-current protection, ensuring reliability in harsh conditions. With a quiescent current of only 2.0mA, the NA1150 helps save energy and is compatible with various automotive power supply systems.
