TDA8594
I2C-bus controlled 4 Ć 50 W power ampliļ¬er
7.2 Output stage
The output stage of each ampliļ¬er channel consists of two PMOS power transistors and
two NMOS transistors in a BTL conļ¬guration. The process used is the BCDMOS process
with an isolated substrate, Silicon On Insulator (SOI) process, which has almost no
parasitic components and therefore prevents latch-up.
7.3 Distortion (clip) detection
If the output of the ampliļ¬er starts clipping to the supply voltage or to ground, the output
will become distorted. If the distortion per channel exceeds a selectable threshold (2 %,
5 % or 10 %), one of the two diagnostic pins (DIAG pin or STB pin) will be activated. To be
able to detect if, for instance, the front channels (channel 1 and channel 3) or rear
channels (channel 2 and channel 4) are clipping, the clip information can be directed per
channel to the DIAG pin or the STB pin. It is possible to have only the clip information on
the diagnostic pins by disabling the temperature and load information on the DIAG pin. In
this mode the temperature and load protection are still functional but can only be read via
the I2C-bus.
7.4 Output protection and short-circuit operation
When a short-circuit to ground, VP or across the load occurs on one or more outputs of an
ampliļ¬er, only the ampliļ¬er with the short-circuit is switched off. The channel that has a
short-circuit and the type of short-circuit can be read-back via the I2C-bus. If the DIAG pin
is enabled for load fault information (IB2[D4] = 0) the DIAG pin will be pulled LOW. After
16 ms the ampliļ¬er will be switched on again and, if the short-circuit conditions still occur,
the ampliļ¬er will be switched off.
The 16 ms cycle will reduce the dissipation. To prevent audible distortion, the ampliļ¬er
channel with the short-circuit can be disabled via the I2C-bus.
7.5 SOAR protection
The output transistors are protected by Safe Operating ARea (SOAR) protection. The
TDA8594 has a two-stage SOAR protection:
ā¢ If the differential output voltage across the load is less than 1 V, and the current
through the load is more than 4 A, the ampliļ¬er channel will be switched off for 16 ms.
To prevent incorrect switch-off with an inductive load or very high input signals, the
condition (Vo < 1 V and IL > 4 A) must exist for more than 300 Āµs.
ā¢ If the differential output voltage across the load is more than 1 V, and the current
through the load is more than 8 A, the ampliļ¬er channel will be switched off for 16 ms.
7.6 Speaker protection
To prevent damage of the speaker when one side of the speaker is connected to ground, a
missing current protection is implemented. When in one channel the current in the high
side power is not equal to the current in the low side power, a fault condition is assumed
and the channel will be switched off. The speaker protection will be activated under the
following conditions:
ā¢ Vo < 1.75 V and Imissing(det) > 1 A for 80 Āµs
ā¢ Vo > 1.75 V and Imissing(det) > 3 A for 80 Āµs
