TDA8950 Rev. 02 — 11 June 2009 1. General description The TDA8950 is a high-efficiency Class D audio power amplifier. The typical output power is 2 150 W with a speaker load impedance of 4 . The TDA8950 is available in both HSOP24 and DBS23P power packages. The amplifier operates over a wide supply voltage range from 12.5 V to 40 V and features low...
8. Functional description 8.1 General The TDA8950 is a two-channel audio power amplifier that uses Class D technology. For each channel, the audio input signal is converted into a digital PWM signal using an analog input stage and a PWM modulator; see transistors, the digital PWM signal is fed to a control and handshake block and to high- and low-side driver circuits.

Each of the two audio channels contains a PWM modulator, an analog feedback loop and a differential input stage. The TDA8950 also contains circuits common to both channels such as the oscillator, all reference sources, the mode interface and a digital timing manager.
8.3.1 Thermal protection The TDA8950 employes an advanced thermal protection strategy. A TFB function gradually reduces the output power within a defined temperature range. If the temperature continues to rise, OTP is activated to shut down the device completely.
(3) Amplifier is switched off due to OTP. Fig 6. 8.3.2 OverCurrent Protection (OCP) In order to guarantee the robustness of the TDA8950, the maximum output current that can be delivered at the output stages is limited. OCP is built in for each output power switch.
• During the start-up sequence, when the TDA8950 is switching from Standby to Mute. Start-up will be interrupted If a short-circuit is detected between one of the output terminals and pin VDDP1/VDDP2 or VSSP1/VSSP2. The TDA8950 will wait until the short-circuit to the supply lines has been removed before resuming start-up.
TDA8950. In practice (because of the OCP threshold) the output power can be boosted to twice the output power that can be achieved with the single-ended configuration.

Figure 13.6 Pumping effects In a typical stereo single-ended configuration, the TDA8950 is supplied by a symmetrical supply voltage (e.g. V configuration, a ‘pumping effect’ can occur. During one switching interval, energy is taken from one supply (e.g.
NXP Semiconductors The most effective way to avoid pumping effects is to connect the TDA8950 in a mono full-bridge configuration. In the case of stereo single-ended applications, it is advised to connect the inputs in anti-phase (see adapted; for example, by increasing the values of the supply line decoupling capacitors.
