  "name": "Qualcomm WSA8810/WSA8815 Class-D Smart Speaker Amplifier",
  "description": "The WSA8810 and WSA8815 are Class-D smart speaker amplifiers designed by Qualcomm Technologies for multimedia solutions. They support both SoundWire digital audio and analog audio inputs, offering flexibility for mono or stereo speaker configurations. Key features include integrated multilevel boost SMPS for high power, current/voltage sensing for speaker protection, and a small, thermally efficient wafer-level nanoscale package (35 WLNSP). The WSA8810 provides up to 2W and WSA8815 up to 4W audio output power.",
