Description
STA518 is a monolithic quad half bridge stage in
Multipower BCD Technology. The device can be
used also as dual bridge or reconfigured, by
connecting CONFIG pin to Vdd pin, as single
bridge with double current capability.
STA518
40V 3.5A quad power half bridge
PSSO36 (slug up)
The device is particularly designed to make the
output stage of a stereo All-Digital High Efficiency
(DDX™) amplifier capable to deliver an output
power of 24W x 4 channels @ THD = 10% at Vcc
30V on 4W load in single ended configuration.
It can also deliver 50 + 50W @ THD = 10% at Vcc
29V as output power on 8W load in BTL
configuration and 70W @ THD = 10% at Vcc 34V
on 8W in single paralleled BTL configuration.
The input pins have threshold proportional to VL
pin voltage
