DESCRIPTION (continued)
Thanks to the fully complementary PNP/NPN output configuration the TDA7383 allows a rail to rail
output voltage swing with no need of bootstrap
capacitors. The extremely reduced components
count allows very compact sets.
The on-board clipping detector simplifies gain
compression operations. The fault diagnostics
makes it possible to detect mistakes during CarRadio assembly and wiring in the car.

(pin 16) are internally biased at half Supply Voltage level (Vs/2), which is derived from the Supply
Voltage Rejection (SVR) block. In this way no curetwork.

INPUT STAGE
The TDA7383’s inputs are ground-compatible and
can stand very high input signals (± 8Vpk) without
any performances degradation.
If the standard value for the input capacitors
(0.1μF) is adopted, the low frequency cut-off will
amount to 16 Hz.
STAND-BY AND MUTING
STAND-BY and MUTING facilities are both
CMOS-COMPATIBLE. If unused, a straight connection to Vs of their respective pins would be admissible. Conventional low-power transistors can
be employed to drive muting and stand-by pins in
absence of true CMOS ports or microprocessors.
R-C cells have always to be used in order to
smooth down the transitions for preventing any
audible transient noises.
Since a DC current of about 10 uA normally flows
out of pin 22, the maximum allowable muting-series resistance (R2) is 70KΩ, which is sufficiently
high to permit a muting capacitor reasonably
small (about 1μF).
If R2 is higher than recommended, the involved
risk will be that the voltage at pin 22 may rise to
above the 1.5 V threshold voltage and the device
will consequently fail to turn OFF when the mute
line is brought down.

Diagnostics information is available across an
open collector output located at pin 25 (fig. 12)
through a current sinking whenever at least one
of the above events is recognized.
Among them, the CLIPPING DETECTOR acts in
a way to output a signal as soon as one or more
power transistors start being saturated.
As a result, the clipping-related signal at pin 25
takes the form of pulses, which are perfectly syncronized with each single clipping event in the
music program and reflect the same duration time
(fig. 13). Applications making use of this facility
usually operate a filtering/integration of the pulses

ent feature rather than frequency-dependent. This
means that clipping state will be immediately signaled out whenever a fixed power level is
reached, regardless of the audio frequency.
In other words, this feature offers the means to
counteract the extremely sound-damaging effects
of clipping, caused by a sudden increase of odd
order harmonics and appearance of serious intermodulation phenomena.
Another possible kind of distortion control could
be the setting of a maximum allowable THD limit
(e.g. 0.5 %) over the entire audio frequency
range. Besides offering no practical advantages,
this procedure cannot be much accurate, as the
non-clipping distortion is likely to vary over frequency.
In case of OVERHEATING, pin 25 will signal out
the junction temperature proximity to the thermal
shut-down threshold. This will typically start about
2o C before the thermal shut-down threshold is

STABILITY AND LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS

stable with no need of external compensations

such as output R-C cells. Due to the high number
of channels involved, this translates into a very
remarkable components saving if compared to
similar devices on the market.
To simplify pc-board layout designs, each amplifier stage has its own power ground externally accessible (pins 2,8,18,24) and one supply voltage
pin for each couple of them.
Even more important, this makes it possible to
achieve the highest possible degree of separation
among the channels, with remarkable benefits in
terms of cross-talk and distortion features.
About the layout grounding, it is particularly im-
portant to connect the AC-GND capacitor (C5) to
the signal GND, as close as possible to the audio
inputs ground: this will guarantee high rejection of
any common mode spurious signals.
The SVR capacitor (C6) has also to be connected
to the signal GND.
Supply filtering elements (C7, C8) have naturally
to be connected to the power-ground and located
as close as possible to the Vs pins.
Pin 1, which is mechanically attached to the device’s tab, needs to be tied to the cleanest power
ground point in the pc-board, which is generally
near the supply filtering capacitors.
