Philips Semiconductors Preliminary specification
Power amplifier with load detection and
auto BTL/SE selection TDA8586
FEATURES
General
•Operating voltage from 8 to 18 V
•Low distortion
•Few external components, fixed gain
•Automatic mode selection (SE or BTL) depending on
connected rear loads
•Can be used as a stereo amplifier in Bridge-Tied Load
(BTL) or quad Single-Ended (SE) amplifiers
•Single-ended mode without loudspeaker capacitor
•Soft clipping, to guarantee good clip behaviour with
inductive loads
•Mute and standby mode with one-pin operation
•Diagnostic information for Dynamic Distortion Detector
(DDD), high temperature (140 °C) operation mode and
short-circuit
•No switch-on/off plops when switching between standby
and mute and from mute to on
•Load detection on rear channels when switching from
standby to mute
•Fast mute on supply voltage drops (low VP mute).
Protection
•Short-circuit proof to ground, positive supply voltage on
all pins and across load
•ESD protected on all pins
•Thermal protection against temperatures exceeding
150 °C
•Load dump protection
•Overvoltage protection.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The device incorporates the following functions:
•4×6 W SE amplifies without SE capacitor, because of
the availability of 2 half supply voltage power buffers
•2×20 W BTL amplifiers
•Automatic switching between 2 and 4 speaker
operation. The mode of operation is determined during
start-up.
This amplifier is protected for all general short-circuit
conditions to battery or ground, overvoltage, 45 V load
dump and short-circuits on the speaker outputs.
The device is contained in a 20-pin power HSOP package,
but is also available in a 17-pin SIL power package. When
packaged in the 20-pin HSOP package additional
functions are available:
•DDD level selection between 2 and 10%
•Overrule pin for changing mode of operation
(from SE to BTL or from BTL to SE).
