The TDA2006 is a monolithic integrated circuit in
Pentawatt package, intended for use as a low
frequencyclass ”AB” amplifier. At ±12V,d = 10 %
typicallyitprovides12Woutputpowerona4Ω load
and 8W on a 8Ω . The TDA2006 provides high
output current and has very low harmonic and
cross-over distortion. Further the device incorporatesanoriginal(andpatented)shortcircuitprotection system comprising an arrangement for
automaticallylimitingthe dissipatedpower soas to
keep the working point of the output transistors
within their safe operating area. A conventional
thermal shutdown system is also included. The
TDA2006is pin to pin equivalentto theTDA2030.

PRACTICALCONSIDERATIONS
PrintedCircuit Board
The layout shownin Figure14 should be adopted
by the designers. If different layout are used, the
ground points of input 1 and input 2 must be well
decoupled from ground of the output on which a
ratherhigh current flows.
AssemblySuggestion
No electricalisolationisneededbetween thepack-
age and the heat-sink with single supply voltage
configuration.
ApplicationSuggestion
The recommendedvalues of the components are
the onesshownon applicationcircuitsof Figure13.
Differentvaluescan be used. The table 1 can help
the designers.

SHORTCIRCUIT PROTECTION
The TDA2006 has an original circuit which limits
the current of the output transistors. Figure 18
shows that the maximumoutput current is a function of the collector emitter voltage ; hence the
output transistors work within their safe operating
area(Figure 19).
Thisfunctioncan thereforebe consideredas being
peak power limiting rather thansimple current limiting.
It reducesthe possibility that the devicegets damaged during an accidental short circuit from AC
output to ground.
THERMALSHUT DOWN
Thepresenceof a thermal limiting circuitoffers the
followingadvantages :
1)an overload on the output (even if it is
permanent), or an above limit ambient
temperaturecan be easily supported since the
cannotbe higherthan 150°C.
T
j
2) the heatsink can have a smallerfactor of safety
compared with that of a conventional circuit.
Thereis no possibilityof device damage due to
high junction temperature.
If for any reason, the junction temperature increasesupto 150°C,thethermalshutdownsimply
reducesthepowerdissipationandthecurrentconsumption.

The maximum allowable power dissipation depends upon the size of the external heatsink (i.e.
its thermalresistance) ; Figure22 shows the dissipablepower as a function of ambient temperature
for differentthermal resistances.
