2 x 15 W stereo Bridge Tied Load (BTL) audio amplifier Rev. 02 — 14 March 2000 1. General description The TDA8946J is a dual-channel audio power amplifier with an output power of 15 W at an 8 (BTL) amplifiers with an all-NPN output stage and standby/mute logic. The TDA8946J comes in a 17-pin DIL-bent-SIL (DBS) power package.
GND2 OUT2+ 8. Functional description The TDA8946J is a stereo BTL audio power amplifier capable of delivering 2 output power to an 8 external heatsink. The voltage gain is fixed at 32 dB. With the three-level MODE input the device can be switched from ‘standby’ to ‘mute’...
8.3 Mode selection The TDA8946J has three functional modes, which can be selected by applying the proper DC voltage to pin MODE. See which depend on the supply voltage level. The MODE pin can be driven by a 3-state logic output stage: e.g.
A larger capacitor value on the SVR pin improves the ripple rejection behaviour at the lower frequencies. 8.5 Built-in protection circuits The TDA8946J contains two types of protection circuits, i.e. short-circuit and thermal shutdown. 8.5.1 Short-circuit protection Short-circuit to ground or supply line —...
• Section 8.3 “Mode – Standby mode: V The power consumption of the TDA8946J will be reduced to <0.18 mW – Mute mode: the DC level of the input and output pins remain on half the supply voltage – 2.5 V < V –...
