STA515W
40 V, 3 A, quad power half bridge
Datasheet - production data
Description
The STA515W is a monolithic quad half-bridge
stage in Multipower BCD Technology. The device
can be used as a dual bridge or reconfigured, by
connecting pin CONFIG to pins VDD, as a single
bridge with double-current capability.
The device is designed, particularly, to be the
output stage of a stereo all-digital high-efficiency
amplifier. It is capable of delivering 10 W x
4 channels into 4 loads with 10% THD at
VCC = 18 V in single-ended configuration.
PowerSO36 package
with exposed pad up
It can also deliver 20 W + 20 W into 8 loads
with 10% THD at VCC = 18 V in BTL configuration
or, in single parallel BTL configuration, 40 W into
a 8 load with 10% THD at VCC = 26 V.
Features

Application information
Application information
The STA515W is a dual channel H-bridge that can deliver 20 W per channel into 8 with
10% THD at VCC = 18 V with high efficiency.
The STA515W converts both DDX and binary-logic-controlled PWM signals into audio
power at the load. It includes a logic interface, integrated bridge drivers, high efficiency
MOSFET outputs and thermal and short-circuit protection circuitry.
In DDX mode, two logic-level signals per channel are used to control the high-speed
MOSFET switches which drive the speaker load in a bridge configuration, according to the
damped ternary modulation operation.
In binary mode, both full-bridge and half-bridge modes are supported.
The STA515W includes overcurrent and thermal protection as well as an undervoltage
lockout with automatic recovery. A thermal warning status is also provided.

Logic interface and decode
The STA515W power outputs are controlled using one or two logic-level timing signals. In
order to provide a proper logic interface, pin VL must operate at the same voltage as the
DDX control logic supply.

Protection circuits
The STA515W includes protection circuitry for overcurrent and thermal overload conditions.
A thermal warning pin (THWARN) is activated low (open-drain MOSFET) when the IC
temperature exceeds 130 °C, which is in advance of the thermal shutdown protection. When
a fault condition is detected an internal fault signal acts to immediately disable the output
power MOSFETs, placing both H-bridges in the high-impedance state. At the same time an
open-drain MOSFET connected to pin FAULT is switched on.
There are two possible modes subsequent to activating a fault:
Shutdown mode:
with pins FAULT (with pull-up resistor) and TRISTATE independent, an activated fault
disables the device, signalling low at pin FAULT.
The device may subsequently be reset to normal operation by toggling pin TRISTATE
from high to low and back to high using an external logic signal.
Automatic recovery mode:
This is shown in the applications circuit in Figure 7 and Figure 7 on page 11.
Pins FAULT and TRISTATE are shorted together and connected to a time constant
circuit comprising R59 and C58.
An activated fault forces a reset on pin TRISTATE causing normal operation to resume
following a delay determined by the time constant of the circuit.
If the fault condition is still present, the circuit operation continues, repeating until the
fault condition is removed.
An increase in the time constant of the circuit produces a longer recovery interval.
Care must be taken in the overall system design so as not to exceed the protection
thresholds under normal operation.
Power outputs
The STA515W power and output pins are duplicated to provide a low-impedance path for
the device bridged outputs. All duplicated power, ground and output pins must be connected
for proper operation.
Pins PWRDN or TRISTATE should be used to set all MOSFETS to the high-impedance
state during power-up and until the logic power supply, VL, has settled.
Parallel-output and high-current operation
When using DDX mode, the STA515W outputs can be connected in parallel to increase the
output current capability. In this configuration the device can provide 40 W into 8 .
This mode of operation is enabled with pin CONFIG connected to VDD. The inputs must be
combined to give INLA = INLB and INRA = INRB, then the corresponding outputs can be
shorted together to give OUTLA = OUTLB and OUTRA = OUTRB.
Output filter
A passive 2nd-order filter is used on the STA515W power outputs to reconstruct an analog
audio signal. The system performance can be significantly affected by the output filter
design and choice of passive components.
Filter designs for 4- and 8- loads are shown in the applications circuits of Figure 1 on
page 2 for the half-bridge mode, and Figure 7 and Figure 8 on page 11 for the full bridge.
