TDA8950
2 × 150 W class-D power amplifier
[1] Amplifier gain will depend on junction temperature and heatsink size.
[2] Only complete shutdown of amplifier if short-circuit impedance is below threshold of 1 Ω. In all other cases
current limiting results in clipping of the output signal.
[3] Fault condition detected during (every) transition between standby-to-mute and during restart after
activation of OCP (short-circuit to one of the supply lines).
8.4 Differential audio inputs
For a high common mode rejection ratio and a maximum of flexibility in the application, the
audio inputs are fully differential.
There are two possibilities:
• For stereo operation it is advised to use the inputs in anti phase and also to connect
the speakers in anti phase (to avoid acoustical phase differences). This construction
has several advantages:
– The peak current in the power supply is minimized
– The supply pumping effect is minimized, especially at low audio frequencies
• For mono BTL operation it is required that the inputs are connected in anti parallel.
The output of one of the channels is inverted and the speaker load is now connected
between the two outputs of the TDA8950. In principle the output power to the speaker
can be significantly boosted to two times the output power in single ended stereo.
The input configuration for a mono BTL application is illustrated in Figure 7.
