1. General description

The TFA9810 is a two-channel power comparator for high-efficiency class D audio
amplifier systems. It contains two full-bridge Bridge-Tied Load (BTL) power stages, drive
logic, protection control logic and full differential input comparators. By using this power
comparator a compact closed-loop self-oscillating digital amplifier system or open-loop
system can be built. The TFA9810 does not require a heat sink and operates using an
asymmetrical supply voltage.

2. Features

nStereo full-bridge power comparator for class D audio amplifier applications
nNo external heat sink required
nOperating voltage range: asymmetrical from 8 V to 20 V
nThermally protected
nZero dead-time switching
nCurrent-limiting (no audible interruptions)

3. Applications

nSelf-oscillating or open-loop class D audio amplifier applications
nFlat-panel television sets
nFlat-panel monitors
nMultimedia systems
nWireless speakers
nHigh-end CRT television sets
