GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA8547(T) is a two channel audio power amplifier
for an output power of 2 × 1 W with an 8 Ω load at a 5 V
supply. The circuit contains two BTL amplifiers with a
complementary PNP-NPN output stage and standby/mute
logic. The operating condition of all channels of the device
(standby, mute or on) is externally controlled by the
MODE pin. With the SELECT pin one of the output
channels can be switched in the standby condition. This
feature can be used for loudspeaker selection and also
reduces the quiescent current consumption.
The TDA8547T comes in a SO16 package and the
TDA8547 in a DIP16 package.
The TDA8547(T) is a 2 × 1 W BTL audio power amplifier
capable of delivering 2 × 1 W output power to an 8 Ω load
at THD = 10% using a 5 V power supply. Using the
MODE pin the device can be switched to standby and
mute condition. The device is protected by an internal
thermal shutdown protection mechanism. The gain can be
set within a range from 6 to 30 dB by external feedback
resistors.
Power amplifier
The power amplifier is a Bridge-Tied Load (BTL) amplifier
with a complementary PNP-NPN output stage.
The voltage loss on the positive supply line is the
saturation voltage of a PNP power transistor, on the
negative side the saturation voltage of a NPN power
transistor. The total voltage loss is <1 V and with a 5 V
supply voltage and an 8 Ω loudspeaker an output power of
1 W can be delivered.

MODE pin
The whole device (both channels) is in the standby mode
(with a very low current consumption) if the voltage at the
MODE pin is >(VCC− 0.5 V), or if this pin is floating. At a
MODE voltage level of less than 0.5 V the amplifier is fully
operational. In the range between 1.5 V and VCC− 1.5 V
the amplifier is in mute condition. The mute condition is
useful to suppress plop noise at the output caused by
charging of the input capacitor.
SELECT pin
If the voltage at the SELECT pin is in the range between
1.5 V and V
− 1.5 V, or if it is kept floating, then both
CC
channels can be operational. If the SELECT pin is set to a
LOW voltage or grounded, then only channel 2 can
operate and the power amplifier of channel 1 will be in the
standby mode. In this case only the loudspeaker at
channel 2 can operate and the loudspeaker at channel 1
will be switched off. If the SELECT pin is set to a
HIGH level or connected to VCC, then only channel 1 can

channel switching
operate and the power amplifier of channel 2 will be in the
standby mode. In this case only the loudspeaker at
channel 1 can operate and the loudspeaker at channel 2
will be switched off. Setting the SELECT pin to a LOW or
a HIGH voltage results in a reduction of quiescent current
consumption by a factor of approximately 2.
Switching with the SELECT pin during operating is not
plop-free, because the input capacitor of the channel
which is coming out of standby needs to be charged first.

For plop-free channel selecting the device has first to be
set in mute condition with the MODE pin (between 1.5 V
and VCC− 1.5 V), then set the SELECT pin to the new
level, after a delay set the MODE pin to a LOW level.
The delay needed depends on the values of the input
capacitor and the feedback resistors. Time needed is
approx. 10 × C1 × (R1 + R2), so approximately 0.6 s. for
the values in Fig.4.
