GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA8579 is a two channel differential amplifier with
0 dB gain and low distortion. The device has been
primarily developed for car radio applications where long
connections between signal sources and amplifiers (or
boosters) are necessary and where ground noise has to be
eliminated. The device is intended to be used to receive
line inputs in audio applications that require a high level of
common-mode rejection. The device is contained in an
8-pin small outline (SO) or dual in-line (DIP) package.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA8579 contains two identical differential amplifiers
with a voltage gain of 0 dB. The device is intended to
receive line input signals for audio applications. The
TDA8579 has a very high level of common-mode rejection
and thus eliminates ground noise. The common-mode
rejection remains constant up to high frequencies (the
amplifier gain is fixed at 0 dB). The inputs have a high input
impedance. The output stage is a class AB stage with a
low output impedance. For a large common-mode
rejection, also at low frequencies, an electrolytic capacitor
connected to the negative input is advised. Because the
input impedance is relatively high, this results in a large
settling time of the DC input voltage. Therefore a
quick-charge circuit is included to charge the input
capacitor within 0.2 seconds.
All input and output pins are protected against high
electrostatic discharge conditions (4000 V, 150 pF, 150 Ω).
