TDA7295S
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,
especiallyin presenceof highlyreactive loads.
Moreover, full exploitation of the SOA translates
into a substantial increase in circuit and layout
complexity due to the need of sophisticated protectioncircuits.
To overcome these substantial drawbacks, the
use of power MOS devices, which are immune
fromsecondary breakdown is highlydesirable.
The device described has therefore been developed in a mixed bipolar-MOS high voltage technologycalled BCDII 100.
1) Output Stage
The main design task in developping a power operational amplifier, independently of the technologyused, is that of realizationof theoutput stage.
The solution shown as a principle shematic by
Fig3 represents the DMOSunity - gain output
bufferof the TDA7295S.
This large-signal, high-power buffer must be capable of handling extremely high current and voltage levels while maintaining acceptably low harmonic distortion andgoodbehaviour over
frequency response; moreover, an accurate control of quiescentcurrentis required.
A local linearizing feedback, provided by differential amplifier A, is used to fullfil the above requirements, allowing a simple and effective quiescent
currentsetting.
Proper biasing of the power output transistors
alone is however not enoughto guaranteethe absence of crossoverdistortion.
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
feedbackpath enclosing the outputstage itself.
2) Protections
In designing a power IC, particularattention 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.

The device is provided with both stand-by and

mute functions, independently driven by two
CMOSlogic compatible input pins.
The circuits dedicatedto the switching on and off
of the amplifier have been carefully optimized to
avoid any kind of uncontrolledaudibletransient at
the output.
The sequence that we recommend during the
ON/OFFtransientsis shown by Figure4.
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.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
HIGH-EFFICIENCY
Constraints of implementing high power solutions
are the power dissipation and the size of the
power supply. These are both due to the low efficiency of conventional AB class amplifier approaches.
Here below (figure 6) is described a circuit proposal for a high efficiency amplifier which can be
adopted for both HI-FI and CAR-RADIO applications.

Page 8
TDA7295S
The TDA7295S is a monolithicMOS power amplifier which can be operated at 76V supply voltage
(80V with no signal applied) while delivering output currents up to ±6A.
This allows the use of this device as a very high
power amplifier (up to 80W as peak power with
T.H.D.=10% and Rl = 4 Ohm); the onlydrawback
is the power dissipation, hardly manageable in
the above power range.
The typical junction-to-case thermal resistance of
the TDA7295S is 1
avoid that, in worst case conditions, the chiptemperatureexceedes 150
of the heatsink must be 0.038

C/W (@ max am-
As the above value is pratically unreachable; a
high efficiency system is needed in those cases
where the continuous RMS output power is higher
than 50-60 W.
The TDA7295S was designed to work also in
higherefficiency way.
For this reason there are four power supply pins:
two intended for the signal part and two for the
power part.
T1 and T2 are two power transistors that only
operate when the output power reaches a certain
threshold (e.g. 20 W). If the output power increases, these transistorsare switched on during
the portion of the signal where more output voltage swing is needed, thus ”bootstrapping” the
power supply pins (#13 and #15).
The current generators formed by T4, T7, zener
diodes Z1, Z2 and resistors R7,R8 define the
minimum drop across the power MOS transistors
of the TDA7295S. L1, L2, L3 and the snubbers
C9, R1 and C10, R2 stabilize the loops formedby
the ”bootstrap” circuitsand the output stage of the
TDA7295S.
By considering again a maximum average
output power (music signal) of 20W, in case
of the high efficiency application, the thermal
resistance value needed from the heatsink is
o
C/W (Vs =±38V and Rl= 8 Ohm).
2.2
All components (TDA7295S and power transistors T1 and T2) can be placed on a
o
C/W heatsink, with the power darlingtons
1.5
electricallyinsulated from the heatsink.
Since the total power dissipation is less than that
of a usual class AB amplifier, additional cost savings can be obtained while optimizing the power
supply, even with a highheatsink .
BRIDGEAPPLICATION
Another application suggestion is the BRIDGE
configuration,where two TDA7295S are used.
In this application, the value of the load must not
be lower than 8 Ohm for dissipation and current
capabilityreasons.
A suitable field of application includes HI-FI/TV
subwoofersrealizations.
Themain advantagesoffered by this solution are:
- High power performanceswith limited supply
voltagelevel.
- Considerablyhigh output powereven with high
load values (i.e. 16 Ohm).
WithRl = 8 Ohm, V
S = ±25Vthe maximum output
powerobtainable is 150W (Music Power)
APPLICATION NOTE: (ref. fig. 7)
ModularApplication(more Devices in Parallel)
The use of the modular application lets very high
powerbe delivered to very low impedanceloads.
The modular applicationimplies one deviceto act
as a masterand 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 master chip connections are the same as
the normal single ones.
The outputs can be connected together with-
out the need of any ballast resistance.
The slave SGND pin must be tied to the negativesupply.
The slave ST-BY pin must be connected to
ST-BYpin.
The bootstrap lines must be connected together and the bootstrap capacitor must be increased: for N devices the boostrap capacitor
mustbe 22µF times N.
The slave Mute and IN-pins must be grounded.
THE BOOTSTRAP CAPACITOR
For compatibility purpose with the previous devices of the family, the boostrapcapacitor can be
connectedboth betweenthe bootstrap pin (6) and
the output pin (14) or between the boostrap pin
(6) and the bootstraploader pin (12).
