class TV). Thanks to the wide voltage range and
to the high out current capability it is able to supply the highest power into both 4Ω and 8Ω loads.
The built in muting function with turn on delay
simplifies the remote operation avoiding switching
on-off noises.
Parallel mode is made possible by connecting
more device through of pin11. High output power
can be delivered to very low impedance loads, so
optimizing the thermal dissipation of the system.
DESCRIPTION

If in the application, the speakers are connected

TDA7296S
INTRODUCTION
In consumer electronics, an increasing demand
has arisen for very high power monolithic audio
amplifiers able to match, with a low cost, the performance obtained from the best discrete designs.
The task of realizing this linear integrated circuit
in conventional bipolar technology is made extremely difficult by the occurence of 2nd breakdown phoenomenon. It limits the safe operating
area (SOA) of the power devices, and, as a consequence, the maximum attainable output power,
especially in presence of highly reactive loads.
Moreover, full exploitation of the SOA translates
into a substantial increase in circuit and layout
complexity due to the need of sophisticated protection circuits.
To overcome these substantial drawbacks, the
use of power MOS devices, which are immune
from secondary breakdown is highly desirable.
1) Output Stage
The main design task in developping a power operational amplifier, independently of the technology used, is that of realization of the output stage.
The solution shown as a principle shematic by
Fig3 represents the DMOS unity - gain output
buffer of the TDA7296S.
This large-signal, high-power buffer must be capable of handling extremely high current and voltage levels while maintaining acceptably low harmonic distortion and good behaviour over
frequency response; moreover, an accurate control of quiescent current is required.
)
s
(
ct
A local linearizing feedback, provided by differential amplifier A, is used to fullfil the above requirements, allowing a simple and effective quiescent
current setting.
Proper biasing of the power output transistors
alone is however not enough to guarantee the absence of crossover distortion.
While a linearization of the DC transfer characteristic of the stage is obtained, the dynamic behaviour of the system must be taken into account.
A significant aid in keeping the distortion contributed by the final stage as low as possible is provided by the compensation scheme, which exploits the direct connection of the Miller capacitor
at the amplifier’s output to introduce a local AC
feedback path enclosing the output stage itself.
2) Protections
In designing a power IC, particular attention must
be reserved to the circuits devoted to protection
of the device from short circuit or overload conditions.
Due to the absence of the 2nd breakdown phenomenon, the SOA of the power DMOS transistors is delimited only by a maximum dissipation
curve dependent on the duration of the applied
stimulus.
In order to fully exploit the capabilities of the
power transistors, the protection scheme implemented in this device combines a conventional
SOA protection circuit with a novel local temperature sensing technique which " dynamically" controls the maximum dissipation.
In addition to the overload protection described

The sequence that we recommend during the
ON/OFF transients is shown by Figure 4.
The application of figure 5 shows the possibility of
using only one command for both st-by and mute
functions. On both the pins, the maximum applicable range corresponds to the operating supply
voltage.

3) Other Features
The device is provided with both stand-by and
mute functions, independently driven by two
CMOS logic compatible input pins.
The circuits dedicated to the switching on and off
of the amplifier have been carefully optimized to
BRIDGE APPLICATION
Another application suggestion is the BRIDGE
configuration, where two TDA7296S are used.
In this application, the value of the load must not
be lower than 8 Ohm for dissipation and current
capability reasons.
A suitable field of application includes HI-FI/TV
subwoofers realizations.
The main advantages offered by this solution are:
- High power performances with limited supply
voltage level.
- Considerably high output power even with high
load values (i.e. 16 Ohm).
With Rl= 8 Ohm, Vs = ±23V the maximum output
power obtainable is 120W (Music Power)
7/11
TDA7296S
The slave SGND pin must be tied to the negative supply.
The slave ST-BY pin must be connected to
ST-BY pin.
The bootstrap lines must be connected together and the bootstrap capacitor must be increased: for N devices the boostrap capacitor
must be 22µF times N.
The slave Mute and IN-pins must be grounded.
APPLICATION NOTE: (ref. fig. 7)
Modular Application (more Devices in Parallel)
The use of the modular application lets very high
power be delivered to very low impedance loads.
The modular application implies one device to act
as a master and the others as slaves.
The slave power stages are driven by the master
device and work in parallel all together, while the
input and the gain stages of the slave device are
disabled, the figure below shows the connections
required to configure two devices to work together.
THE BOOTSTRAP CAPACITOR
For compatibility purpose with the previous devices of the family, the boostrap capacitor can be
connected both between the bootstrap pin (6) and
the output pin (14) or between the boostrap pin
(6) and the bootstrap loader pin (12).
The master chip connections are the same as
the normal single ones.
The outputs can be connected together without the need of any ballast resistance.
