TDA7375A
DESCRIPTION
The TDA7375A is a new technology class AB car
radio amplifier able to work either in DUAL
BRIDGE or QUAD SINGLE ENDED configuration.
The exclusive fully complementary structure of the
output stage and the internally fixed gain guaran-
tee the highest power performances with extremely reduced component count. The on board
clip detector simplifies gain compression operation. The fault diagnostic makes it possible to detect mistakes during car radio set assembly and
wiring in the car.

High Application Flexibility
The availability of 4 independent channels makes
it possible to accomplish several kinds of applications ranging from 4 speakers stereo (F/R) to 2
speakers bridge solutions.
In case of working in single ended conditions the
polarity of the speakers driven by the inverting
amplifier must be reversed respect to those driven
by non inverting channels.
This is to avoid phase inconveniences causing
sound alterations especially during the reproduction of low frequencies.
Easy Single Ended to Bridge Transition
The change from single ended to bridge configurations is made simply by means of a short circuit
across the inputs, that is no need of further external components.
Gain Internally Fixed to 20dB in Single Ended,
26dB in Bridge
Advantages of this design choice are in terms of:
components and space saving
output noise, supply voltage rejection and distortion optimization.
Silent Turn On/Off and Muting/Stand-by Function
The stand-by can be easily activated by means of
a CMOS level applied to pin 7 through a RC filter.
Under stand-by condition the device is turned off
completely (supply current = 1µA typ.; output attenuation= 80dB min.).
Every ON/OFF operation is virtually pop free.
Furthemore, at turn-on the device stays in muting
condition for a time determined by the value assigned to the SVR capacitor.
While in muting the device outputs becomes insensitive to any kinds of signal that may be present at the input terminals. In other words every
transient coming from previous stages produces
no unplesant acoustic effect to the speakers.
OUTPUT STAGE
The fully complementary output stage was made
possible by the development of a new component: the ST exclusive power ICV PNP.
A novel design based upon the connection shown
in fig. 20 has then allowed the full exploitation of
its possibilities.
The clear advantages this new approach has over
classical output stages are as follows:
Rail-to-Rail Output Voltage Swing With No
Need of Bootstrap Capacitors.
The output swing is limited only by the VCEsat
of the output transistors, which are in the range
of 0.3Ω (Rsat) each.
Classical solutions adopting composite PNPNPN for the upper output stage have higher
saturation loss on the top side of the waveform.
This unbalanced saturation causes a significant power reduction. The only way to recover
power consists of the addition of expensive
bootstrap capacitors.
Absolute Stability Without Any External
Compensation.
Referring to the circuit of fig. 20 the gain
VOut/VIn is greater than unity, approximately 1+
R2/R1. The DC output (VCC/2) is fixed by an
auxiliary amplifier common to all the channels.
By controlling the amount of this local feedback
it is possible to force the loop gain (A*β) to less
than unity at frequency for which the phase
shift is 180°. This means that the output buffer
is intrinsically stable and not prone to oscillation.
Most remarkably, the above feature has been
achieved in spite of the very low closed loop
gain of the amplifier.
In contrast, with the classical PNP-NPN stage,
the solution adopted for reducing the gain at
high frequencies makes use of external RC
networks, namely the Boucherot cells.
Figure 20: The New Output Stage
BUILT–IN SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Reliable and safe operation, in presence of all
kinds of short circuit involving the outputs is assured by BUILT-IN protectors. Additionally to the
AC/DC short circuit to GND, to VS, across the
speaker, a SOFT SHORT condition is signalled
out during the TURN-ON PHASE so assuring cor9/14
TDA7375A
rect operation for the device itself and for the
loudspeaker.
This particular kind of protection acts in such a
way to avoid the device is turned on (by ST-BY)
when a resistive path (less than 16 ohms) is present between the output and GND. As the involved circuitry is normally disabled when a current higher than 5mA is flowing into the ST-BY
pin, it is important, in order not to disable it, to
have the external current source driving the STBY pin limited to 5mA.
This extrafunction becomes particularly attractive
when, in the single ended configuration, one capacitor is shared between two outputs (see fig.
21).
Figure 22: Clipping Detection Waveforms
Figure 21.
A current sinking at pin 10 is provided when a certain distortion level is reached at each output. This
function allows gain compression facility whenever the amplifier is overdriven.
Supposing that the output capacitor C out for any
reason is shorted, the loudspeaker will not be
damaged being this soft short circuit condition revealed.
Diagnostic Facilities
The TDA7375 is equipped with a diagnostic circuitry able to detect the following events:
Clipping in the output signal
Thermal shutdown
Output fault:
– short to GND
– short to VS
– soft short at turn on
The information is available across an open
collector output (pin 10) through a current sinking when the event is detected
10/14
Thermal Shutdown
In this case the output 10 will signal the proximity
of the junction temperature to the shutdown
threshold. Typically current sinking at pin 10 will
start ~10°C before the shutdown threshold is
reached.

As different kinds of information is available at the

proximity), this signal must be handled properly in
order to discriminate the event.
