Technical Specifications

The NJW1110V-TE2 typically operates from a single power supply voltage (e.g., 5V). It features a wide input voltage range and a low output impedance. The I2C interface allows for setting the volume level for each channel independently. The mute function can be used to quickly silence any channel. Refer to the NJR datasheet for detailed specifications on THD+N (Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise), SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio), and other performance parameters. The datasheet also provides information on the recommended operating conditions and external component values.

The IC is usually available in a small surface-mount package (e.g., VQFN). External resistors and capacitors are used to configure the gain and frequency response of the volume control circuit. The datasheet provides detailed application notes and circuit diagrams to assist with the design process.
