2-channel audio amplifier; SE: 1 W to 7.5 W; BTL: 2 W to 15 W
Rev. 01 — 26 April 2004Preliminary data
1.General description
The TFA9842J contains two identical audio power amplifiers. The TFA9842J can be
used as two Single-Ended (SE) channels with a fixed gain of 26 dB or one
Bridge-Tied Load (BTL) channel with a fixed gain of 32 dB.
The TFA9842J comes in a 9-pin DIL-bent-SIL (DBS9P) power package. The
TFA9842J is pin compatible with the TFA9841J and TFA9843J.
The TFA9842J contains a unique protection circuit that is solely based on multiple
temperature measurements inside the chip. This gives maximum output power for all
supply voltages and load conditions with no unnecessary audio holes. Almost any
supply voltage and load impedance combination can be made as long as thermal
boundary conditions (number of channels used, external heatsink and ambient
temperature) allow it.

BTL application: Ri=30kΩ and Ci= 470 nF:

As shown in Equation 2 and Equation 3, large capacitor values for the inputs are not
necessary, so the switch-on delay during charging of the input capacitors can be
minimized. This results in a good low frequency response and good switch-on
behavior.
The power amplifier is a Single-Ended (SE) and/or Bridge-Tied Load (BTL) amplifier
with an all-NPN output stage, capable of delivering a peak output current of 3 A.
Using the TFA9842J as a BTL amplifier offers the following advantages:
• Ripple frequency on the supply voltage is twice the signal frequency
• No expensive DC-blocking capacitor
• Good low frequency performance.
8.2.1 Output power measurement
The output power as a function of the supply voltage is measured on the output pins
at THD = 10 %; see Figure 6.
The maximum output powerislimitedbythesupplyvoltage of 26 Vandthemaximum
availableoutputcurrentis 3 A (repetitive peak current). A minimum load for SE of 4 Ω
and for BTL of 16 Ω is required for VCC> 22 V; see Figure 5.
8.2.2 Headroom
Typical CD music requires at least 12 dB (factor 15.85) dynamic headroom,
compared to the average power output, for transferring the loudest parts without
distortion. At VCC= 18 V and Po= 5 W (SE with RL=4Ω) or Po= 10 W (BTL with
RL=8Ω) at THD = 0.2 % (see Figure 7), the Average Listening Level (ALL) music
power without any distortion yields:

8.3 Mode selection
The TFA9842J has three functional modes, which can be selected by applying the
proper DC voltage to pin MODE (see Table 5 and Figure 3).
Standby — The current consumption is very low and the outputs are floating. The
device is in standby mode when V
Mute — The amplifier isDC-biased but not operational (noaudio output). Thisallows
the input coupling capacitors to be charged to avoid pop-noise. The deviceis in mute
mode when 4.5V<V

8.4 Supply voltage ripple rejection
The supply voltage ripple rejection (SVRR) is measured with an electrolytic capacitor
of 150 µF on pin SVR using a bandwidth of 20 Hz to 22 kHz. Figure 11 illustrates the
SVRR as function of the frequency. A larger capacitor valueon pin SVR improves the
ripple rejection behavior at the lower frequencies.
8.5 Built-in protection circuits
The TFA9842J contains two types of temperature sensors; one measures local
temperatures of the power stages and one measures the global chip temperature.At
a local temperature of the power stage of approximately 185oC or a global
temperature of approximately 150oC this detection circuit switches off the power
stages for 2 ms. High impedance ofthe outputs is the result.After this time period the
power stages switch on automatically and the detection will take place again; still a
too high temperature switches off the power stages immediately. This protects the
TFA9842J against shorts to ground, to the supply voltage, across the load and too
high chip temperatures.
The protection will only be activated when necessary, so even during a short-circuit
condition, a certain amount of (pulsed) current will still be flowing through the short,
just as much as the power stage can handle without exceeding the critical
temperature level.
In accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System (IEC 60134).

Remark: Because of switching inductive loads, the output voltage can rise beyond
the maximum supply voltage of 28 V. At high supply voltages, it is recommended to
use (Schottky) diodes to the supply voltage and ground.
13.1 Printed-circuit board
13.1.1 Layout and grounding
To obtain a high-level system performance, certain grounding techniques are
essential. The input reference grounds have to be tied with their respective source
grounds and must have separate tracks from the power ground tracks; this will
prevent the large (output) signal currents from interfering with the small AC input
signals. The small-signal ground tracks should be physically located as far as
possible from the power ground tracks. Supply and output tracks should be as wide
as possible for delivering maximum output power.
Proper supply bypassing is critical for low-noise performance and high supply voltage
ripple rejection. The respective capacitor location should be as close as possible to
the device and grounded to the power ground. Proper power supply decoupling also
prevents oscillations.

For suppressing higher frequency transients (spikes) on the supply line a capacitor
with low ESR, typical 100 nF, has to be placed as close as possible to the device. For
suppressing lower frequency noise and ripple signals, a large electrolytic capacitor,
e.g. 1000 µF or greater, must be placed close to the device.
The bypass capacitor on pin SVR reduces the noise and ripple on the mid rail
voltage. For good THD and noise performance a low ESR capacitor is recommended.

This calculation is for an application at worst-case (stereo) sine-wave output signals.
In practice music signals will be applied, which decreases the maximum power
dissipation to approximately half of the sine-wave power dissipation (see
Section 8.2.2). This allows for the use of a smaller heatsink:

16.1 Introduction to soldering through-hole mount packages
This text gives a brief insight to wave, dip and manual soldering. A more in-depth
account of soldering ICs can be found in our
Packages
Wave soldering is the preferred method for mounting of through-hole mount IC
packages on a printed-circuit board.
16.2 Soldering by dipping or by solder wave
Driven by legislation and environmental forces the worldwide use of lead-free solder
pastes is increasing. Typical dwell time of the leads in the wave ranges from
3 to 4 seconds at 250 °C or 265 °C, depending on solder material applied, SnPb or
Pb-free respectively.
The total contact time of successive solder waves must not exceed 5 seconds.

The device may be mounted up to the seating plane, but the temperature of the
plastic body must not exceed the specified maximum storage temperature (T
If the printed-circuit board has been pre-heated, forced cooling may be necessary
immediately after soldering to keep the temperature within the permissible limit.
16.3 Manual soldering
Apply the soldering iron (24 V or less) to the lead(s) of the package, either below the
seating plane or not morethan 2 mm above it. If the temperature of the soldering iron
bit is less than 300 °C it may remain in contact for up to 10 seconds. If the bit
temperature is between 300 and 400 °C, contact may be up to 5 seconds.
