Description
The TDA7384A is an AB class audio power amplifier, packaged in Flexiwatt 25 and designed for high end car radio applications. Based on a fully complementary PNP/NPN configuration, the TDA7384A allows a rail to rail output voltage swing with no need of bootstrap capacitors. The extremely reduced boundary components allows very compact sets.

Application hints

Application hints
Referred to the circuit of Figure 3.

3.1

SVR
Besides its contribution to the ripple rejection, the SVR capacitor governs the turn ON/OFF time sequence and, consequently, plays an essential role in the pop optimization during ON/OFF transients. To conveniently serve both needs, its minimum recommended value is 10f.

3.2

Input stage
The TDA7384As inputs are ground-compatible and can stand very high input signals ( 8 Vpk) without any performances degradation. If the standard value for the input capacitors (0.1 F) is adopted, the low frequency cut-off will amount to 16 Hz.

3.3

Standby and muting

Standby and muting facilities are both 3.3 V CMOS-compatible. If unused, a straight connection to Vs of their respective pins would be admissible. Conventional/low-power transistors can be employed to drive muting and stand-by pins in absence of true CMOS ports or microprocessors. R-C cells have always to be used in order to smooth down the transitions for preventing any audible transient noises. Since a DC current of about 10 A normally flows out of pin 22, the maximum allowable muting-series resistance (R2) is 70 k, which is sufficiently high to permit a muting capacitor reasonably small (about 1F). If R2 is higher than recommended, the involved risk will be that the voltage at pin 23 may rise to above the 1.5 V threshold voltage and the device will consequently fail to turn OFF when the mute line is brought down. About the stand-by, the time constant to be assigned in order to obtain a virtually pop-free transition has to be slower than 2.5 V/ms.
