8. Functional description
The TDA8946J is a stereo BTL audio power amplifier capable of delivering 2 × 15 W
output power to an 8 Ω load at THD = 10%, using a 18 V power supply and an
external heatsink. The voltage gain is fixed at 32 dB.
With the three-level MODE input the device can be switched from ‘standby’ to ‘mute’
and to ‘operating’ mode.
The TDA8946J outputs are protected by an internal thermal shutdown protection
mechanism and a short-circuit protection.
8.1 Input configuration
The TDA8946J inputs can be driven symmetrical (floating) as well as asymmetrical.
In the asymmetrical mode one input pin is connected via a capacitor to the signal
ground which should be as close as possible to the SVR (electrolytic) capacitor
ground. Note that the DC level of the input pins is half of the supply voltage VCC, so
coupling capacitors for both pins are necessary.
The input cut-off frequency is:
1
f i(cut – off )
=
(1)
(2)
----------------------------
2π(Ri × Ci)
For Ri = 45 kΩ and Ci = 220 nF:
1
f i(cut – off )
=
= 16 Hz
----------------------------------------------------------------
As shown in Equation 1 and 2, large capacitor values for the inputs are not
necessary; so the switch-on delay during charging of the input capacitors, can be
minimized. This results in a good low frequency response and good switch-on
behaviour.
Remark: To prevent HF oscillations do not leave the inputs open, connect a capacitor
of at least 1.5 nF across the input pins close to the device.

8.2 Power amplifier
The power amplifier is a Bridge Tied Load (BTL) amplifier with an all-NPN output
stage, capable of delivering a peak output current of 2 A.
The BTL principle offers the following advantages:
Lower peak value of the supply current
•
•
•
•
The ripple frequency on the supply voltage is twice the signal frequency
No expensive DC-blocking capacitor
Good low frequency performance.
8.2.1 Output power measurement
The output power as a function of the supply voltage is measured on the output pins
at THD = 10%; see Figure 8. The maximum output power is limited by the maximum
supply voltage of 18 V and the maximum available output current: 2 A repetitive peak
current.
8.2.2 Headroom
compared to the average power output – for transferring the loudest parts without
distortion. At VCC = 18 V, RL = 8 Ω and Po = 10 W at THD = 0.1% (see Figure 6), the
Average Listening Level (ALL) – music power – without any distortion yields:
Po(ALL) = 10 W/15.85 = 631 mW.
The power dissipation can be derived from Figure 11 on page 11 for 0 dB
respectively 12 dB headroom.

Po(ALL) = 631 mW
For the average listening level a power dissipation of 8 W can be used for a heatsink
calculation.
8.3 Mode selection
The TDA8946J has three functional modes, which can be selected by applying the
proper DC voltage to pin MODE. See Figure 4 and 5 for the respective DC levels,
which depend on the supply voltage level. The MODE pin can be driven by a 3-state
logic output stage: e.g. a microcontroller with additional components for DC-level
shifting.
Standby — In this mode the current consumption is very low and the outputs are
floating. The device is in standby mode when (VCC − 0.5 V) < VMODE < VCC, or when
the MODE pin is left floating (high impedance). The power consumption of the
TDA8946J will be reduced to <0.18 mW.

Mute — In this mode the amplifier is DC-biased but not operational (no audio output);
the DC level of the input and output pins remain on half the supply voltage. This
allows the input coupling and Supply Voltage Ripple Rejection (SVRR) capacitors to
be charged to avoid pop-noise. The device is in mute mode when
3 V < VMODE < (VCC − 1.5 V).
Operating — In this mode the amplifier is operating normally. The operating mode is
activated at VMODE < 0.5 V.
8.3.1 Switch-on and switch-off
To avoid audible plops during supply voltage switch-on or switch-off, the device is set
to standby mode before the supply voltage is applied (switch-on) or removed
(switch-off).
The switch-on and switch-off time can be influenced by an RC-circuit on the MODE
pin. Rapid on/off switching of the device or the MODE pin may cause ‘click- and
pop-noise’. This can be prevented by proper timing of the RC-circuit on the MODE
pin.
8.4 Supply Voltage Ripple Rejection (SVRR)
The SVRR is measured with an electrolytic capacitor of 10 µF on pin SVR at a
bandwidth of 10 Hz to 80 kHz. Figure 13 on page 12 illustrates the SVRR as function
of the frequency. A larger capacitor value on the SVR pin improves the ripple rejection
behaviour at the lower frequencies.
8.5 Built-in protection circuits
The TDA8946J contains two types of protection circuits, i.e. short-circuit and thermal
shutdown.
8.5.1 Short-circuit protection
Short-circuit to ground or supply line — This is detected by a so-called ‘missing
current’ detection circuit which measures the current in the positive supply line and
the current in the ground line. A difference between both currents larger than 0.7 A,
switches the power stage to standby mode (high impedance).
Short-circuit across the load — This is detected by an absolute-current
measurement. An absolute-current larger than 3 A, switches the power stage to
standby mode (high impedance).
8.5.2 Thermal shutdown protection
The junction temperature is measured by a temperature sensor; at a junction
temperature of approximately 150 °C this detection circuit switches the power stage
to standby mode (high impedance).

14.1 Printed-circuit board (PCB)
14.1.1 Layout and grounding
For a high system performance level certain grounding techniques are essential.
The input reference grounds have to be tied with their respective source grounds and
must have separate tracks from the power ground tracks; this will prevent the large
(output) signal currents from interfering with the small AC input signals.
The small-signal ground tracks should be physically located as far as possible from
the power ground tracks. Supply and output tracks should be as wide as possible for
delivering maximum output power.

14.1.2 Power supply decoupling
Proper supply bypassing is critical for low-noise performance and high supply voltage
ripple rejection. The respective capacitor locations should be as close as possible to
the device and grounded to the power ground. Proper power supply decoupling also
prevents oscillations.
For suppressing higher frequency transients (spikes) on the supply line a capacitor
with low ESR – typical 100 nF – has to be placed as close as possible to the device.
For suppressing lower frequency noise and ripple signals, a large electrolytic
capacitor – e.g. 1000 µF or greater – must be placed close to the device.
The bypass capacitor on the SVR pin reduces the noise and ripple on the midrail
voltage. For good THD and noise performance a low ESR capacitor is recommended.

14.2 Thermal behaviour and heatsink calculation
The measured maximum thermal resistance of the IC package, Rth(j-mb) is 4.5 K/W.
A calculation for the heatsink can be made, with the following parameters:
Tamb(max) = 50 °C
VCC = 18 V and RL = 8 Ω
Tj(max) = 150 °C.
Rth(tot) is the total thermal resistance between the junction and the ambient
including the heatsink. In the heatsink calculations the value of Rth(mb-h) is ignored.
At VCC = 12 V and RL = 8 Ω the measured worst-case sine-wave dissipation is 18 W;
see Figure 11. For Tj(max) = 150 °C the temperature raise - caused by the power
dissipation - is: 150 – 50 = 100 °C.
P × Rth(tot) = 100 °C
Rth(tot) = 100/18 = 5.56 K/W
Rth(h-a) = Rth(tot) – Rth(j-mb) = 5.56 – 4.5 = 1.06 K/W.
The calculation above is for an application at worst-case (stereo) sine-wave output
signals. In practice music signals will be applied, which decreases the maximum
power dissipation to approximately half of the sine-wave power dissipation (see
Section 8.2.2). This allows for the use of a smaller heatsink:
P × Rth(tot) = 100 °C
Rth(tot) = 100/8 = 12.5 K/W
Rth(h-a) = Rth(tot) – Rth(j-mb) = 12.5 – 4.5 = 8.0 K/W.
To increase the lifetime of the IC, Tj(max) should be reduced to 125 °C. This requires a
heatsink of approximately 4 K/W for music signals.

17. Soldering
17.1 Introduction to soldering through-hole mount packages
This text gives a brief insight to wave, dip and manual soldering. A more in-depth
account of soldering ICs can be found in our Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit
Packages (document order number 9398 652 90011).
Wave soldering is the preferred method for mounting of through-hole mount IC
packages on a printed-circuit board.
17.2 Soldering by dipping or by solder wave
The maximum permissible temperature of the solder is 260 °C; solder at this
temperature must not be in contact with the joints for more than 5 seconds. The total
contact time of successive solder waves must not exceed 5 seconds.
The device may be mounted up to the seating plane, but the temperature of the
plastic body must not exceed the specified maximum storage temperature (Tstg(max)).
If the printed-circuit board has been pre-heated, forced cooling may be necessary
immediately after soldering to keep the temperature within the permissible limit.
17.3 Manual soldering
Apply the soldering iron (24 V or less) to the lead(s) of the package, either below the
seating plane or not more than 2 mm above it. If the temperature of the soldering iron
bit is less than 300 °C it may remain in contact for up to 10 seconds. If the bit
temperature is between 300 and 400 °C, contact may be up to 5 seconds.
