GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA7056B is a mono Bridge-Tied Load (BTL) output
amplifier with DC volume control.
It is designed for use in TV and monitors, but is also
suitable for battery-fed portable recorders and radios.
The device is contained in a 9-pin medium power
package.
A Missing Current Limiter (MCL) is built in. The MCL circuit
is activated when the difference in current between the
output terminal of each amplifier exceeds 100 mA
(300 mA typ.). This level of 100 mA allows for headphone
applications (single-ended).

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA7056B is a mono BTL output amplifier with DC
volume control, designed for use in TV and monitor but is
also suitable for 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 TDA7056B
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 still 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.
TDA7056B
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
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.
