PINNING

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

This hi-fi stereo power amplifier is designed for mains fed applications. The circuit is designed for both symmetrical and

asymmetrical power supply systems. An output power of 2 ×6 watts (THD = 0,5%) can be delivered into an 8 Ωload with

a symmetrical power supply of ±12 V.

The gain is fixed internally at 30 dB. Internal gain fixing gives low gain spread and very good balance between the

amplifiers (0,2 dB).

A special feature of this device is a mute circuit which suppresses unwanted input signals during switching on and off.

Referring to Fig.12, the 100 µF capacitor creates a time delay when the voltage at pin 3 is lower than an internally fixed

reference voltage. During the delay the amplifiers remain in their DC operating mode but are isolated from the

non-inverting inputs on pins 1 and 9.

Two thermal protection circuits are provided, one monitors the average junction temperature and the other the

instantaneous temperature of the power transistors. Both protection circuits activate at 150 °C allowing safe operation to

a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C without added distortion.

RATINGS

THERMAL RESISTANCE

HEATSINK DESIGN EXAMPLE

With derating of 6 K/W, the value of heatsink thermal resistance is calculated as follows:

given RL= 8 Ωand VP=±12 V, the measured maximum dissipation is 7,8 W; then, for a maximum ambient temperature

of 60 °C, the required thermal resistance of the heatsink is

Note: The metal tab (heatsink) has the same potential as pin 5 ( −VP).

APPLICATION INFORMATION

Input mute circuit

The input mute circuit operates only during switching on and off of the supply voltage. The circuit compares the 1⁄2supply

voltage (at pin 3) with an internally fixed reference voltage (Vref), derived directly from the supply voltage. When the

voltage at pin 3 is lower than Vref the non-inverting inputs (pins 1 and 9) are disconnected from the amplifier. The voltage

at pin 3 is determined by an internal voltage divider and the external 100 µF capacitor.

During switching on, a time delay is created between the reference voltage and the voltage at pin 3, during which the

input terminal is disconnected, (as illustrated in Fig.3).
