INTRODUCTION
In consumer electronics, an increasing demand
has arisen for very high power monolithic audio
amplifiers able to match,with a low cost the performance obtained from the best discrete designs.
The task of realizing this linear integrated circuit
in conventional bipolar technology is made extremely difficult by the occurence of 2nd breakdown phenomenon. It limits the safe operating
area (SOA) of the power devices, and as a consequence, the maximum attainableoutput power,
especiallyin presence of highly reactive loads.
Moreover, full exploitation of the SOA translates
into a substantial increase in circuit and layout
complexity due to the need for sophisticated protection circuits.
To overcome these substantial drawbacks, the
use of power MOS devices, which are immune
monic distortion and good behaviour over frequency response; moreover, an accurate control
of quiescent current is required.
A local linearizing feedback, provided by differential amplifier A, is used to fullfilthe above requirements, allowing a simple and effective quiescent
currentsetting.
Proper biasing of the power output transistors
alone is howevernot enoughto guarantee the absenceof crossover distortion.
While a linearization of the DC transfer characteristic of the stage is obtained, the dynamic behaviour of thesystem must be takeninto account.
A significant aid in keeping the distortion contributed by the final stage as low as possible is provided by the compensation scheme, which exploits the direct connection of the Miller capacitor
at the amplifier’s output to introduce a local AC
feedbackpath enclosing the output stage itself.
from secondarybreakdownis highly desirable.
The device described has therefore been devel-
oped in a mixed bipolar-MOS high voltage technology called BCD 100.
2) Protections
In designing a power IC, particular attention must
be reserved to the circuits devoted to protection
of the device from short circuit or overload condi-
1) OutputStage
The main design task one is confrontedwith while
developing an integrated circuit as a power operational amplifier, independently of the technology used, is that of realising the output stage.
The solution shown as a principle schematic by
Fig 15 represents the DMOS unity-gain output
buffer of the TDA7295.
This large-signal, high-power buffer must be capable of handling extremely high current and voltage levels while maintaining acceptably low har-
tions.
Due to the absence of the 2nd breakdown phe-
nomenon, the SOA of the power DMOS transis-
tors is delimited only by a maximum dissipation
curve dependent on the duration of the applied
stimulus.
In order to fully exploit the capabilities of the
power transistors, the protection scheme imple-
mented in this device combines a conventional
SOA protection circuit with a novel local tempera-
ture sensing technique which ” dynamically” con-
trols the maximumdissipation.

Full protection against electrostatic discharges on
everypin isincluded.
3) OtherFeatures
The device is provided with both stand-by and
mute functions, independently driven by two
CMOSlogiccompatible input pins.
The circuits dedicated to the switching on and off
of the amplifier have been carefully optimized to
avoid any kindof uncontrolledaudible transient at
the output.
The sequence that we recommend during the
ON/OFFtransientsis shown by Figure 16.
The application of figure 17 shows the possibility
of using only one command for both st-by and
mute functions. On both the pins, the maximum
applicable range corresponds to the operating
supplyvoltage.

BRIDGE APPLICATION
Another application suggestion is the BRIDGE
configuration, where two TDA7295 are used, as
shown by the schematic diagram of figure25.
In this application, the value of the load must not
be lower than 8 Ohm for dissipation and current
capability reasons.
A suitable field of application includes HI-FI/TV
subwoofersrealisations.
The main advantagesoffered by this solution are:

- High power performanceswith limitedsupply
voltagelevel.
- Considerablyhigh output power even with high
loadvalues (i.e. 16 Ohm).
The characteristics shown by figures 20 and 21,
measured with loads respectively 8 Ohm and 16
Ohm.
With Rl= 8 Ohm, Vs = ±22V the maximum output
power obtainable is 100W, while with Rl=16 Ohm,
Vs = ±30V the maximumPout is 100W.
