Mono BTL audio amplifier with DC volume
control
TDA7052B
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA7052B and TDA7052BT are mono BTL output
amplifiers with DC volume control which have been
designed for use in TV and monitors but are also suitable
for use in battery-fed portable recorders and radios.
In conventional DC volume circuits the control or input
stage is AC coupled to the output stage via external
capacitors to keep the offset voltage low. In the TDA7052B
and TDA7052BT the DC volume control stage is
integrated into the input stage so that no coupling
capacitors are required. With this configuration, a low
offset voltage is maintained and the minimum supply
voltage remains low.
The BTL principle offers the following advantages:
• Lower peak value of the supply current
• The frequency of the ripple on the supply voltage is twice
the signal frequency.
Consequently, a reduced power supply with smaller
capacitors can be used which results in cost reductions.
For portable applications there is a trend to decrease the
supply voltage, resulting in a reduction of output power at
conventional output stages. Using the BTL principle
increases the output power.
The maximum gain of the amplifier is fixed at 40.5 dB.
The DC volume control stage has a logarithmic control
characteristic. Therefore, the total gain can be controlled
from 40.5 dB to −33 dB. If the DC volume control voltage
falls below 0.4 V, the device will switch to the mute mode.
The amplifier is short-circuit proof to ground, V
P
and
across the load. Also a thermal protection circuit is
implemented. If the crystal temperature rises above
+150 °C the gain will be reduced, thereby reducing the
output power. Special attention is given to switch-on and
switch-off clicks, low HF radiation and a good overall
stability.
Power dissipation
Assume for the TDA7052B that V
P
= 6 V; RL=8Ω.
The maximum sine wave dissipation is 0.9 W.
The R
th j-a
of the package is 100 K/W.
Therefore T
amb(max)
= 150 − 100 × 0.9 = 60 °C.
Assume for the TDA7052BT that VP= 6 V; RL=16Ω.
The maximum sine wave dissipation is 0.46 W.
The R
th j-a
of the package is 155 K/W.
Therefore T
amb(max)
= 150 − 155 × 0.46 = 78 °C.
LIMITING VALUES
In accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System (IEC 134).
