output stage the fully complementary output stage was made possible by the development of a new compo- nent: the st exclusive power icv pnp. a novel design based upon the connection shown in fig. 19 has then allowed the full exploitation of its possibilities. the clear advantages this new approach has over classical output stages are as follows: 1 - rail-to-rail output voltage swing with no need of bootstrap capacitors. the output swing is limited only by the vcesat of the output transistors, which are in the range of 0.6 ohm (r sat ) each. classical solutions adopting composite pnp-npn for the upper output stage have higher saturation loss on the top side of the waveform. this unbal- anced saturation causes a significant power re- duction. the only way to recover power consists of the addition of expensive bootstrap capacitors. 2 - absolute stability without any external compensation. referring to the circuit of fig. 19 the gain v out /v in is greater than unity, approximately 1 + r2/r1. the dc output (v cc /2) is fixed by an aux- iliary amplifier common to all the channels). by controlling the amount of this local feedback it is possible to force the loop gain (a * b ) to less than unity at frequency for which the phase shift is 180 deg. this means that the output buffer is intrinsically stable and not prone to oscillation. most remarkably, the above feature has been achieved in spite of the very low closed loop gain of the amplifier (20 db). in contrast, with the classical pnp-npn stage, the solution adopted for reducing the gain at high frequencies makes use of external rc networks, namely the boucherot cells. other outstanding characteristics: clipping detector output the TDA7370 is equipped with an internal circuit able to detect the output stage saturation provid- ing a current sinking into a open collector output (pin 10) when a certain distortion level is reached at each output. this particular function allows gain compression facility whenever the amplifier is overdriven, thus obtaining high quality sound at all listening levels. figure 19: the new output stage figure 20: clipping detection waveforms TDA7370 10/17
offset control the quiescent output voltage must be as close as possible to its nominal value, so that less undis- torted power would be available. for this reason an input bias current compensa- tion is implemented to reduce the voltage drop across the input resistors, which appears ampli- fied at the outputs. gain internally fixed to 20db in single ended, 26db in bridge advantages of this design choice are in terms of: components and space saving output noise, supply voltage rejection and dis- tortion optimization. silent turn on/off and muting/stand-by func- tion the stand-by can be easily activated by means of a cmos level applied to pin 7 through a rc filter. under stand-by condition the device is turned off completely (supply current= 1 m a typ ; output at- tenuation= 90 db typ). every on/off operation is virtually pop free. furthermore, at turn-on the device stays in muting condition for a time determined by the v alue as- signed to the svr capacitor (t= csvr * 7,000). while in muting the device outputs becomes in- sensitive to any kinds of signal that may be pre- sent at the input terminals. in other words every transient coming from previous stages produces no unpleasant acoustic effect to the speakers. another situation under which the device is totally muted is whenever the supply voltage drops lower than 7v. this is helpful to pop suppression during the turn-off by battery switch. easy single ended to bridge transition. the change from single ended to bridge configu- rations is made simply by means of a short circuit across the inputs, that is no need of further exter- nal components. high application flexibility the availability of 4 independent channels makes it possible to accomplish several kinds of applica- tions ranging from 4 speakers stereo (f/r) to 2 speakers bridge solutions. in case of working in single ended conditions the polar ity of the speakers driven by the inverting amplifier must be reversed respect to those driven by non inverting channels. this is to avoid phase inconveniences causing sound alterations especially during the reproduc- tion of low frequencies. built-in protection systems full protection of device and loudspeakers against ac/dc short circuits (to gnd, to vs, across the speakers) . reliable and safe operation in presence of all kinds of short circuit involving the outputs is as- sured by a built-in protection system that operates in the following way: in case of overload, a scr is activated as soon as the current flowing through the output transis- tors overcomes a preset threshold value depend- ing on the chip temperature. the scr causes an interruption of the supply current of the power transistor. the normal working is restored by a re- start circuit going into action as soon as the short circuit is removed. load dump voltage surge the tda 7370 has a circuit which enables it to withstand a voltage pulse train on pins 3 and 13, of the type shown in fig. 22. if the supply voltage peaks to more than 50v, then an lc filter must be inserted between the supply and pins 3 and 13, in order to assure that the pulses at pins 3 and 13 will be held within the limits shown. a suggested lc network is shown in fig. 21. with this network, a train of pulses with amplitude up to 120v and width of 2ms can be applied at point a. this type of protection is on when the supply voltage (pulse or dc) exceeds 18v. for this reason the maximum operating supply volt- age is 18v. figure 21 figure 22 TDA7370 11/17
polarity inversion high current (up to 10a) can be handled by the device with no damage for a longer period than the blow-out time of a quick 2a fuse (normally connected in series with the supply). this fea- tures is added to avoid destruction, if during fitting to the car, a mistake on the connection of the supply is made. open ground when the radio is in the on condition and the ground is accidentally opened, a standard audio amplifier will be damaged. on the TDA7370 pro- tection diodes are included to avoid any damage. inductive load a protection diode is provided to allow use of the TDA7370 with inductive loads. dc voltage the maximum operating dc voltage for the TDA7370 is 18v. however the device can withstand a dc voltage up to 28v with no damage. this could occur dur- ing winter if two batteries are series connected to crank the engine. thermal shut-down the presence of a thermal limiting circuit offers the following advantages: 1)an overload on the output (even if it is perma- nent), or an excessive ambient temperature can be easily withstood. 2)the heatsink can have a smaller factor of safety compared with that of a conventional circuit. there is no device damage in case of excessive junction temperature: all happens is that p o (and therefore p tot ) and i d are re- duced. the maximum allowable power dissipation de- pends upon the size of the external heatsink (i.e. its thermal resistance); fig. 23 shows the dissi- pable power as a function of ambient temperature for different thermal resistance. loudspeaker prot ection the TDA7370 guarantees safe operations even for the loudspeaker in case of accidental shortcircuit. whenever a single out to gnd, out to v s short circuit occurs both the outputs are switched off so limiting dangerous dc current flowing through the loudspeaker. figure 23: maximum allowable power dissipation vs. ambient temperature TDA7370 12/17
clipping detector figures 25 and 26 show an application using the TDA7370 in combination with the sgs-thom- son audioprocessor tda7302. the output clipping is recognized by the micro- processor (in this application it is simulated by a pc). the detailed way to operate of the system is rep- resented by the flow-chart of fig.24 the controller detects when the clipping is active (minimun detection width fixed by a c29 = 12 nf external capacitor), and reduces the volume (or bass ) by steps of 2 db (with a programmable waiting time), until no more clipping is detected. then the controller waits for a programmable time before increasing the volume again by s tep of 2 db until clipping is again detected or the panel se- lected volume is reached. practical advantages of this application is a better sound quality deriving from operation under no clipping conditions, which also means the avail- ability of higher undis torted power. what is needed for a demonstration - a xt or at ibm compatible pc, supplied with ega card - a sgs-thomson audioprocessor application disk - a tda 7302 + TDA7370 board - a connector from audioprocessor board to pc parallel port general information in the application shown in figures 25 and 26 the tda7302 audioprocessor works on pc xt or at ibm compatible. control is accomplished by serial bus ( s-bus or i 2 c-bus or spi bus) sent to the test board through the pc parallel port. the pc simulates the behaviour of the microproc- essor in a real application (for example in a car radio) and the buffer is necessary only in this ap- plication for protecting the pc. figure 24: clipping detector control routine TDA7370 13/17
