Features
 Multipower BCD technology
Description
 High output power capability:
– 4 x 50 W/4 Ω Max.
– 4 x 28 W/4 Ω @ 14.4 V, 1 kHz, 10 %
– 4 x 72 W/2 Ω Max.
The STPA001 is a breakthrough MOSFET
technology class AB audio power amplifier
designed for high power car radio. The fully
complementary P-Channel/N-Channel output
structure allows a rail to rail output voltage swing
which, combined with high output current and
minimized saturation losses sets new power
references in the car-radio field, with unparalleled
distortion performances.
 MOSFET output power stage
 2 Ω driving capability
 Hi-Fi class distortion
 Low output noise
 High immunity to RF noise injection
 Standby function
 Mute function
 Automute at min. supply voltage detection
 Low external component count
 Protections:
– Output short circuit to GND, to Vs, across
the load
– Very inductive loads
– Overrating chip temperature with soft
thermal limiter
– Output DC offset detection
– Load dump
– Fortuitous open GND
– Reversed battery
– ESD
– Capable to operate down to 6 V (e.g.
“Startstop”)
The STPA001 can operate down to 6 V and this
makes the IC compliant to the most recent OEM
specifications for low voltage operation (so called
'start-stop' battery profile during engine stop),
helping car manufacturers to reduce the overall
emissions and thus contributing to environment
protection.

Overview
Overview
The STPA001 is a complementary quad audio power amplifier. It is available in three
different packages, Flexiwatt25 (vertical), Flexiwatt25 (horizontal) and Flexiwatt27. It
embeds four independent amplifiers working in class AB, a standby and a mute pin, a
clipping detector and diagnostics output and, only for the Flexiwatt27 package, an offset
detector pin. The amplifier is fully operational down to a battery voltage of 6 V, without
producing pop noise and continuing to play during battery transitions.
The STPA001 can drive 2 Ω loads and has a very high immunity to disturbs without need of
external components or compensation. It is protected against any kind of short or open
circuit, over-voltage and over-temperature.

Operation
The STPA001's inputs are ground-compatible. If the standard value for the input capacitors
(0.22 μF) is adopted, the low frequency cut-off will amount to 16 Hz. The input capacitors
should be 1/4 of the capacitor connected to AC-GND pin for optimum pop performances
(see Figure 2: Application circuit (STPA001)).
Standby and mute pins are both CMOS compatible.
RC cells at both mute and stand-by pins have always to be used in order to smooth the
transitions for preventing any audible transient noise.
In case muting and stand-by functions are not used, they could steadily be connected to VS,
but a 470 kΩ resistance should be present between the power supply and the pins.
The capacitance on SVR sets the start-up and shut-down times and helps to have pop-noise
free transitions. Its minimum recommended value is 10 μF. However, to have a fast start-up
time, the internal resistor on SVR pin, used to set the time constant, is reduced from 50 kΩ
to 3 kΩ till voltage on SVR reaches VCC/4 -2VBE and then released. In this way the
capacitor on SVR is charged very quickly to VCC/4, as shown in the following figure.
The time constant to be assigned to the standby pin in order to obtain a virtually pop-free
transition has to be slower than 2.5 V/ms.

SVR pin accomplishes multiple functions:

it is used as a reference voltage for input pins (VCC/4)

the capacitor connected to SVR helps the supply voltage ripple rejection

it is used as a reference to generate the half supply voltage for the output
When the amplifier goes in standby mode or goes out from this condition, it is suggested to
put the amplifier in mute to ensure the absence of audible noise. Then the stand-by pin can
be set to the appropriate value (ground or > 2.6 V) and the capacitance on SVR pin is
discharged or charged consequently.

Battery variations
4.2.1
Low voltage operation
The most recent OEM specifications are require automatic stop of car engine at traffic lights,
in order to reduce emissions of polluting substances. The STPA001, thanks to its innovating

design, allows a continuous operation when battery falls down. At 6 V it is still fully
operational, only the maximum output power is reduced accordingly to the available voltage
supply.
If the battery voltage drops below the minimum operating voltage of 6V the amplifier is fast
muted, the capacitor on SVR is discharged and the amplifier restarts when the battery
voltage returns to the correct voltage.
4.2.2
Cranks
STPA001 can sustain worst case cranks from 16 V to 6 V, continuing to play and without
producing any pop noise.
Examples of battery cranking curves are shown below, indicating the shape and duration of
allowed battery transitions.

General information
Advanced battery management (hybrid vehicles)
In addition to compatibility with low Vbatt, the STPA001 is able to sustain upwards fast
battery transitions without causing unwanted audible effects, like pop noise, and without any
sound interruption thanks to the innovative circuit topology. In fact, in hybrid vehicles, the
engine ignition causes a fast increase of battery voltage which can reach 16 V in less than
10 ms.

Protections
4.3.1
Short circuits and open circuit operation
When the IC detects a short circuit to ground, to Vs or across the load, the output of the
amplifier is put in three-state (high impedance condition). The power stage remains in this
condition until the short is removed.
In case of short circuit to ground or Vcc, the amplifier exits from the three-state condition
only when the output returns inside the limits imposed by an internal voltage comparator.
When a short across the load is present, the power stage sees an over-current and is
brought in protection mode for 100 μs. After this time, if the short circuit condition is removed
the amplifier returns to play, otherwise the high impedance state is maintained and the
check is repeated every 100 μs.
Disconnection of load (open load condition) doesn't damage the amplifier, which continues
to play.
4.3.2
Over-voltage and load dump protection
When the battery voltage is higher than 19 V, the amplifier is switched to a high impedance
state. It stops to playing till the supply voltage returns in the permitted range.
The amplifier is protected against load dump surges having amplitude as high as 50 V and a
rising time lower than 5 ms (see Figure 24).

4.3.3
Thermal protection
If the junction temperature of the IC reaches Tj = 150 °C, a smooth mute is applied to reduce
output power and limit power dissipation. If this is not enough and the junction temperature
continues to increase, the amplifier is switched off when reaches the maximum temperature
of 170 °C.

Warnings
4.4.1
DC offset detection (OD pin)
The STPA001 integrates a DC offset detector to avoid that an anomalous input DC offset is
multiplied by the amplifier gain producing a dangerous large offset at the output. In fact an
output offset may lead to speakers damage for overheating. The detector works with the
amplifier un-muted and no signal at the inputs.
When the differential output voltage is out of a window comparator with thresholds ± 2V
(typ), the OD pin is pulled down.
4.4.2
Clipping detection and diagnostics (CD-DIAG pin)
When clipping occurs, the output signal is distorted. If the signal distortion on one of the
output channels exceeds 1%, the CD-DIAG pin is pulled down. This information can be sent
to an audio processor in order to reduce the input signal of the amplifier and reduce the
clipping. Thanks to a particular internal circuitry, the clip detector is always functional till
6.5 V.
A short to ground and short to Vcc is pointed out by CD-DIAG. This pin is pulled down to 0 V
till these shorts are present to inform the user a protection occurred.
CD-DIAG acts also as thermal warning. In fact every time Tj exceeds 140 °C, it is pulled
down to notify this occurrence.

Heat sink definition
Assuming we have a maximum dissipated power of 26 W (e.g. in the worst case situation of
frequent clipping occurrence), considering Tj max is 150°C and assuming ambient
temperature is 70 °C, the available temperature gap for a correct dissipation is 80 °C.
This means the thermal resistance of the system RTh has to be 80 °C/26 W = 3 °C/W.
The junction to case thermal resistance is 1 °C/W. So the heat sink thermal resistance
should be approximately 2 °C/W. This would avoid any thermal shutdown occurrence even
after long-term and full-volume operation.
