Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What voltage does the PAM8403 amplifier board require to operate?
A: The PAM8403 mini digital amplifier board operates on a supply voltage of 2.5V to 5.5V, making it perfectly compatible with a standard 5V USB power source. This makes it extremely convenient for desktop, portable, and microcontroller-based projects.
Q: What is the audio output power of this amplifier board?
A: This board delivers 2×3W of stereo output power — one 3W channel for the left speaker and one 3W channel for the right speaker. The Class D design ensures this power is delivered with up to 90% efficiency, so heat is minimal even during sustained use.
Q: Is this amplifier board suitable for Arduino or Raspberry Pi projects?
A: Yes! The PAM8403 board is a popular choice for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontroller-based audio projects. Its low operating voltage (as low as 2.5V) and compact SMD form factor make it easy to integrate into custom enclosures and breadboard prototypes.
Q: What types of speakers can I connect to this board?
A: The PAM8403 amplifier board is compatible with standard 4Ω or 8Ω passive speakers. It is commonly used to drive small bookshelf-style speaker drivers, DIY speaker cones, and salvaged computer speakers in hobbyist builds.
