The best audio performance is obtained with the configuration where each speaker has its
own DC blocking capacitor. If the application allows a little degradation of the spatial image it
is possible to connect a couple of speakers with only one low-value DC blocking capacitor.

Thermal information
In order to avoid the thermal protection intervention that is placed at Tj =150 °C (thermal
muting) or Tj=160 °C (thermal shutdown), it is important to design the heatsink Rth (°C/W)
value correctly.
The parameters that influence the design are:
z
Maximum dissipated power for the device (Pdmax)
z
Maximum thermal resistance junction to case (Rth_j-case)
z
Maximum ambient temperature Tamb_max
There is also an additional term that depends on the quiescent current, Iq, but this is
negligible in this case.
Example 1: 4-channel single-ended amplifier
VCC =14.4 V, RL = 4 Ω x 4 channels, Rth_j-case = 2.5 °C/W, Tamb_max = 50 °C, Pout = 4 x 7 W

Design notes on examples 1 and 2
The values found give a heatsink that is designed to sustain the maximum dissipated power.
But, as explained in the applications note AN1965, the heatsink can be smaller when a
realistic application is considered where a musical program is used.
When the average listening power concept is considered, the dissipated power is about 40%
less than the Pdmax. Therefore, in examples 1 and 2, the resulting average dissipated power
is reduced as follows:
–
Example 1: 10.5 W - 40% = 6.3 W giving Rth_c-amb = 13.4 °C/W
–
Example 2: 21 W - 40% = 12.6 W giving Rth_c-amb = 5.4 °C/W

General structure
8.1
High application flexibility
The availability of four independent channels makes it possible to accomplish several kinds
of applications ranging from four-speaker stereo (F/R) to two-speaker bridge solutions.
When working with single-ended conditions, the polarity of the speakers driven by the
inverting amplifier must be reversed with respect to those driven by non-inverting channels.
This is to avoid phase irregularities causing sound alterations especially during the
reproduction of low frequencies.
8.2
Easy single-ended to bridge transition
The change from single-ended to bridge configurations is made simple by means of a short
circuit across the inputs (resulting in no need of additional external components).

Internally fixed gain
The gain is internally fixed to 20 dB in single-ended mode and 26 dB in bridge mode.
The advantages of this design choice are in terms of:
8.4
z
components and space saving
z
output noise, supply voltage rejection and distortion optimization.
Silent turn on/off and muting/standby functions
Standby mode can be easily activated by means of a CMOS logic level applied to pin 7
through a RC filter.
Under standby conditions, the device is turned off completely (supply current = 1 mA typical,
output attenuation = 80 dB minimum).
All on/off operations are virtually pop-free. Furthermore, at turn-on the device stays in mute
condition for a time determined by the value assigned to the SVR capacitor. In mute mode,
the device outputs are insensitive to any kind of signal that may be present at the input
terminals. In other words, any transients coming from previous stages produce no
unpleasant acoustic effects at the speakers.
8.5
Standby driving (pin 7)
Some precautions need to be taken when defining standby driving networks. Pin 7 cannot
be directly driven by a voltage source having a current capability higher than 5 mA. In
practical cases a series resistance must be inserted, giving it the double purpose of limiting
the current at pin 7 and smoothing down the standby on/off transitions. And, when done in
combination with a capacitor, prevents output pop.
A capacitor of at least 100 nF from pin 7 to S_GND, with no resistance in between, is
necessary to ensure correct turn-on.

General structure
Output stage
The fully complementary output stage is possible with the power ICV PNP component.
This novel design is based on the connection shown in Figure 27 and allows the full
exploitation of its capabilities. The clear advantages this new approach has over classical
output stages are described in the following sections.
8.6.1
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 0.3 Ω (Rsat) each.
Classical solutions adopting composite PNP-NPN for the upper output stage have higher
saturation loss on the top side of the waveform.
This unbalanced saturation causes a significant power reduction. The only way to recover
power includes the addition of expensive bootstrap capacitors.
8.6.2
Absolute stability without any external compensation
With reference to the circuit shown in Figure 27, the gain Vout/Vin is greater than unity, that
is, approximately 1+R2/R1. The DC output (VCC/2) is fixed by an auxiliary amplifier common
to all the channels.
By controlling the amount of this local feedback, it is possible to force the loop gain (A*β) to
less than unity at a frequency where the phase shift is 180 °. This means that the output
buffer is intrinsically stable and not prone to oscillation.
The above feature has been achieved even though there is very low closed-loop gain of the
amplifier.
This is in contrast with the classical PNP-NPN stage where the solution adopted for
reducing the gain at high frequencies makes use of external RC networks, namely the
Boucherot cells.

Short-circuit protection
Reliable and safe operation in the presence of all kinds of short circuits involving the outputs
is assured by built-in protection. Additionally, a soft short-condition is signalled out (to the
AC/DC short circuit to GND, to VS, and across the speaker) during the turn-on phase to
ensure correct operation of the device and the speakers.
This particular kind of protection acts in such a way as to prevent the device being turned on
(by ST_BY) when a resistive path (less than 16 Ω) is present between the output and GND.
It is important to have the external current source driving the ST_BY pin limited to 5 mA.
This is because the associated circuitry is normally disabled with currents >5 mA.
This extra function becomes particularly attractive when, in the single-ended configuration,
one capacitor is shared between two outputs as shown in Figure 28.
Figure 28. Sharing a capacitor
If the output capacitor Cout is shorted for any reason, the loudspeaker is not damaged.
8.7.1
Diagnostic facilities (pin 10)
The STA540SAN is equipped with diagnostic circuitry that is able to detect the following
events:
z
Clipping in the output signal
z
Thermal shutdown
z
Output fault:
–
short to GND
–
short to VS
–
soft short at turn on
The information is available across an open collector output (pin 10) through a current
sinking when the event is detected.
Figure 29. Clipping detection waveforms
A current sinking at pin 10 is provided when a certain distortion level is reached at each
output. This function initiates a gain-compression facility whenever the amplifier is
overdriven.

General structure
Thermal shutdown
With the thermal shutdown feature, the output (pin 10) signals the proximity of the junction
temperature to the shutdown threshold. Typically, current sinking at pin 10 starts at
approximately 10 °C before the shutdown threshold is reached.

Handling of the diagnostic information
As different diagnostic information is available at the same pin (clipping detection, output
fault, thermal proximity), the signal must be handled correctly in order to discriminate the
event. This could be done by taking into account the different timing of the diagnostic output
during each case.
Normally, clip-detector signalling under faulty conditions produces a low level at pin 10.
Based on this assumption, an interface circuitry to differentiate the information is shown in
Figure 33.

General structure
PCB-layout grounding (general rules)
The device has two distinct ground leads, P_GND (power ground) and S_GND (signal
ground) which are practically disconnected from each other at chip level. Correct operation
requires that P_GND and S_GND leads be connected together on the PCB layout by means
of reasonably low-resistance tracks.
For the PCB ground configuration a star-like arrangement, where the center is represented
by the supply-filtering electrolytic capacitor ground, is recommended. In such context, at
least two separate paths must be provided; one for power ground and one for signal ground.
The correct ground assignments are as follows:
8.10
z
standby capacitor (pin 7, or any other standby driving networks): on signal ground
z
SVR capacitor (pin 6): on signal ground and to be placed as close as possible to the
device
z
input signal ground (from active/passive signal processor stages): on signal ground
z
supply filtering capacitors (pins 3 and 13): on power ground. The negative terminal of
the electrolytic capacitor must be directly tied to the battery negative line and this
should represent the starting point for all the ground paths.
Mute function
If the mute function is required, it can be accessed on SVR (pin 6) as shown in Figure 34.
