Description
The TDA7575B is a new MOSFET dual bridge
amplifier specially intended for car radio
applications. Thanks to the DMOS output stage
the TDA7575B has a very low distortion allowing
a clear powerful sound.
Among the features, its superior efficiency
performance coming from the internal exclusive
structure, makes it the most suitable device to
simplify the thermal management in high power
sets.The dissipated output power under average
listening condition is in fact reduced up to 50%
when compared to the level provided by
conventional class AB solutions.
This device is equipped with a full diagnostic array
that communicates the status of each speaker
through the I
possibility of driving loads down to 1Ω paralleling
the outputs into a single channel. It is also
possible to disable the I
TDA7575B by means of the usual standby and
mute pins.

I2C bus interfaceTDA7575B
5 I2C bus interface
Data transmission from microprocessor to the TDA7575B and vice versa takes place
through the 2 wires I
2
C BUS interface, consisting of the two lines SDA and SCL (pull-up
resistors to positive supply voltage must be connected).
5.1 Data validity
As shown by Figure 26, the data on the SDA line must be stable during the high period of
the clock.
The high and low state of the data line can only change when the clock signal on the SCL
line is low.
5.2 Start and stop conditions
As shown by Figure 27 a start condition is a high to low transition of the SDA line while SCL
is high.
The stop condItion Is A Low To High Transition of the SDA line while SCL is high.
5.3 Byte format
Every byte transferred to the SDA line must contain 8 bits. Each byte must be followed by an
acknowledge bit. The MSB is transferred first.
5.4 Acknowledge

5.5 1 Ω capability setting
It is possible to drive 1Ω load paralleling the outputs into a single channel.
In order to implement this feature, outputs are to be connected on the board as follows:
●OUT1+ (pin 35 and pin 36) shorted to OUT2+ (pin 19 and pin 20)
●OUT1- (pin 28 and pin 29) shorted to OUT2- (pin 26 and pin 27).
It is recommended to minimize the impedance on the board between OUT2 and the load in
order to minimize THD distortion. It is also recommended to control the maximum mismatch
impedance between V
pins (pin 24/pin 25 respect to pin 30/pin 31), mismatch that must not exceed a value of
20 mΩ.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT
FROM RECEIVER
With 1 Ω feature settled the active input is IN2 (pin 17 and pin 18), therefore IN1 pins should
be let floating.
It is possible to set the load capability acting on 1 Ω pin as follows:
1 Ω pin (pin 15) < 1.5 V: two channels mode (for a minimum load of 2 Ω)
1 Ω pin (pin 15) > 2.5 V: one channel mode (for 1 Ω load).
It is to remember that 1
Ohm function is a hardware selection.
Therefore it is recommended to leave 1Ω
channels mode configuration, or to short 1Ω pin to V
pin floating or shorted to GND to set the two
to set the one channel (1Ω)

configuration.

7.1 Turn-on diagnostic
It is activated at the turn-on (stand-by out) under I2C bus request. Detectable output faults are:
–Short to GND
–Short TO Vs
–Short across the speaker
–Open speaker
To verify if any of the above misconnections are in place, a subsonic (inaudible) current
pulse (Figure 29) is internally generated, sent through the speaker(s) and sunk back. The
Turn On diagnostic status is internally stored until a successive diagnostic pulse is
requested (after a I
If the "stand-by out" and "diag. enable" commands are both given through a single
programming step, the pulse takes place first (power stage still in stand-by mode, low,
outputs = high impedance).
Afterwards, when the Amplifier is biased, the PERMANENT diagnostic takes place. The
previous Turn On state is kept until a short appears at the outputs.

The information related to the outputs status is read and memorized at the end of the
current pulse top. The acquisition time is 100 ms (typ.). No audible noise is generated in the
process. As for short to GND / Vs the fault-detection thresholds remain unchanged from 26
dB to 12 dB gain setting. They are as follows:

Concerning short across the speaker / open speaker, the threshold varies from 26 dB to 12
dB gain setting, since different loads are expected (either normal speaker's impedance or
high impedance). The values in case of 26 dB gain are as follows:

TDA7575BDiagnostics functional description
7.2 Permanent diagnostics
Detectable conventional faults are:
–Short to GND
–Short to Vs
–Short across the speaker
The following additional features are provided:
–Output offset detection
The TDA7575B has 2 operating statuses:
1.RESTART mode. The diagnostic is not enabled. Each audio channel operates
independently from each other. If any of the a.m. faults occurs, only the channel(s)
interested is shut down. A check of the output status is made every 1 ms (fig. 30).
Restart takes place when the overload is removed.
2. DIAGNOSTIC mode. It is enabled via I
(such to cause the intervention of the short-circuit protection) occurs to the speakers
outputs. Once activated, the diagnostics procedure develops as follows (fig. 31):
–To avoid momentary re-circulation spikes from giving erroneous diagnostics, a
check of the output status is made after 1ms: if normal situation (no overloads) is
detected, the diagnostic is not performed and the channel returns back active.
–Instead, if an overload is detected during the check after 1 ms, then a diagnostic
cycle having a duration of about 100 ms is started.
–After a diagnostic cycle, the audio channel interested by the fault is switched to
RESTART mode. The relevant data are stored inside the device and can be read
by the microprocessor. When one cycle has terminated, the next one is activated

by an I
C reading. This is to ensure continuous diagnostics throughout the car-
radio operating time.
–To check the status of the device a sampling system is needed. The timing is
chosen at microprocessor level (over than half a second is recommended).

7.3 Output DC offset detection
Any DC output offset exceeding ± 2 V are signalled out. This inconvenient might occur as a
consequence of initially defective or aged and worn-out input capacitors feeding a DC
component to the inputs, so putting the speakers at risk of overheating.
This diagnostic has to be performed with low-level output AC signal (or Vin = 0).
The test is run with selectable time duration by microprocessor (from a "start" to a "stop"
command):
●Start = Last reading operation or setting IB1 - D5 - (OFFSET enable) to 1
●Stop = Actual reading operation
Excess offset is signalled out if persistent throughout the assigned testing time. This feature
is disabled if any overloads leading to activation of the short-circuit protection occurs in the
process.
7.4 AC diagnostic
It is targeted at detecting accidental disconnection of tweeters in 2-way speaker and, more
in general, presence of capacitively (AC) coupled loads.
This diagnostic is based on the notion that the overall speaker's impedance (woofer +
parallel tweeter) will tend to increase towards high frequencies if the tweeter gets
disconnected, because the remaining speaker (woofer) would be out of its operating range
(high impedance). The diagnostic decision is made according to peak output current
thresholds, and it is enabled by setting (IB2-D2) = 1. Two different detection levels are
available:
●HIgh current threshold IB2 (D7) = 0
–Iout > 500 mApk = normal status
–Iout < 250 mApk = open tweeter
●Low current threshold IB2 (D7) = 1
–Iout > 250 mApk = normal status
–Iout < 125 mApk = open tweeter
To correctly implement this feature, it is necessary to briefly provide a signal tone (with the
amplifier in "play") whose frequency and magnitude are such to determine an output current
higher than 500mApk with IB2(D7)=0 (higher than 250mApk with IB2(D7)=1) in normal
conditions and lower than 250 mApk with IB2(D7)=0 (lower than 125 mApk with IB2(D7)=1)
should the parallel tweeter be missing.
The test has to last for a minimum number of 3 sine cycles starting from the activation of the
AC diagnostic function IB2<D2>) up to the I
2
C reading of the results (measuring period). To
confirm presence of tweeter, it is necessary to find at least 3 current pulses over the above
threholds over all the measuring period, else an "open tweeter" message will be issued.
The frequency / magnitude setting of the test tone depends on the impedance
characteristics of each specific speaker being used, with or without the tweeter connected
(to be calculated case by case). High-frequency tones (> 10 kHz) or even ultrasonic signals
are recommended for their negligible acoustic impact and also to maximize the impedance
module's ratio between with tweeter-on and tweeter-off.

7.5 Multiple faults
When more misconnections are simultaneously in place at the audio outputs, it is
guaranteed that at least one of them is initially read out. The others are notified after
successive cycles of I
This is true for both kinds of diagnostic (turn-on and permanent).
The table below shows all the couples of double-fault possible. It should be taken into
account that a short circuit with the 4 Ω speaker unconnected is considered as double fault.

precisely, in both the channels SO = CH+, and SK = CH-.
In permanent diagnostic the table is the same, with only a difference concerning open load
(*), which is not among the recognizable faults. Should an open load be present during the
device's normal working, it would be detected at a subsequent turn-on diagnostic cycle (i.e.
at the successive car radio turn-on).
7.6 Faults availability
All the results coming from I2C bus, by read operations, are the consequence of
measurements inside a defined period of time. If the fault is stable throughout the whole
period, it will be sent out. This is true for DC diagnostic (turn-on and permanent), for offset
detector.

●Turn-off: Muting IN --- 20 ms --- (DIAG disable + standby IN)
