INTRODUCTION
In consumer electronics, an increasing demand
has arisen for very high power monolithic audio
amplifiers able to match, with a low cost th e 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 attainable output power,
especially in 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 fullfil the above requirements, allowing a simple and effective quiescent
current setting.
Proper biasing of the power output transistors
alone is however not enough to guarantee the absence of crossover distortion.
While a linearization of the DC transfer characteristic of the stage is obtained, the dynamic behaviour of the system must be taken into 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
feedback path enclosing the output stage itself.
from secondary breakdown is 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) Output Stage
The main design task one is confronted with 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 tr ansis-
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 maximum dissipation.

In addition to the overload protection described

circuit which initially puts the device into a muting
state (@ Tj = 145

Full protection against electrostatic discharges on
every pin is included.
3) Other Features
The device is provided with both stand-by and
mute functions, independently driven by two
CMOS logic compatible input pins.
The circuits dedicated to the switching on and off
of the amplifier have been carefully optimized to
avoid any kind of uncontrolled audible transient at
the output.
The sequence that we recommend during the
ON/OFF transients is 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
supply voltage.

BRIDGE APPLICATION
Another application suggestion is the BRIDGE
configuration, where two TDA7295 are used, as
shown by the schematic diagram of figure 25.
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
subwoofers realisations.
