FEATURES
General
• High gain
• Operating voltage from 8 to 28 V
• Low distortion
• Few external components, fixed gain
• High output power
• Can be used as a stereo amplifier in bridge-tied load
(BTL) or quad single-ended (SE) amplifiers

• Diagnostic information for Dynamic Distortion Detector
(DDD), high temperature (145 °C) and short-circuit
• No switch on/off plops when switching between
‘standby’ to ‘mute’ and from ‘mute’ to ‘on’
• Low offset variation at outputs between ‘mute’ and ‘on’
• Fast mute on supply voltage drops.
Protection
• Reverse polarity safe (with protection diode added)
• Short-circuit proof to ground, positive supply voltage on
all pins and across load

short-circuited to supply ground.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA8581 is a stereo bridge-tied load (BTL) or a quad
single-ended amplifier that operates over a wide supply
voltage range from 8 to 28 V. This makes it suitable for
many applications, such as car radios, television and
home-sound systems.
Because of an internal voltage buffer, this device can be
used without a capacitor connected in series with the load
(SE application). A combined BTL and 2 × SE application
can also be configured.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA8581 is a multi-purpose power amplifier with four
amplifiers which can be connected in the following
configurations with high output power and low distortion (at
minimum quiescent current);
• Dual bridge-tied load (BTL) amplifiers
• Quad single-ended amplifiers
• Dual single-ended amplifiers and one bridge-tied load
amplifier.
The amplifier can be switched on (play or ‘mute’) and off
(‘standby’) by the MUTE and STANDBY pins (for
interfacing directly with a microcontroller). One-pin
operation is also possible by applying a voltage greater
than 8 V to the ‘standby’/’mute’/’on’ selection pin (pin 5) to
switch the amplifier in ‘on’ mode.
Special attention is given to the dynamic behaviour as
follows:
• Noise suppression during engine start.
• No plops when switching from ‘standby’ to ‘on’.
• Slow offset change between ‘mute’ and ‘on’ (controlled
by MUTE and STANDBY pins).
• Low noise levels, which are independent of the supply
voltage.
Protections are included to avoid the IC being damaged at:
• Over temperature: T > 150 °C.
• Short-circuit of the output pin(s) to ground or supply rail.
When short-circuited, the power dissipation is limited.
• A missing-current limiter which limits the maximum short
circuit output current to PGND or V
pins to 1.5 A.
P
The dissipation and speaker current will be minimized
because the short-circuited amplifier is switched off.
The chip temperature is limited by the temperature
protection.
• ESD protection (Human Body Model 3000 V, Machine
Model 300 V).
• Energy handling. A DC voltage of 6 V can be connected
to the output of any amplifier while the supply pins are
short-circuited to ground. No high DC current will flow
from the supply pins of the amplifier.
• Reverse battery only with protection diode added.
Diagnostics are available for the following conditions
(see Figs 4 to 7):
• Amplifier in ‘mute’
• Chip temperature greater than 145 °C
• Distortion over 2.0% due to clipping
• Short-circuit protection active.
LIMITING VALUES
In accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System (IEC 134).
