IC Usage Notes
Maximum ratings
If the IC is used in the vicinity of the maximum ratings, even a slight variation in conditions may cause the maximum
ratings to be exceeded, thereby leading to a breakdown.
Printed circuit board
When drawing the printed circuit pattern, refer to the sample printed circuit pattern. Be careful not to form a feedback
loop between input and output.

Instructions and Precautions
• Connect a capacitor of 1000pF across pins c and d for external disturbance path.
• Be careful of the ground line artwork when laying out the printed circuit pattern. Arrange so that the Sg route and load
current flow-in route do not overlap. Refer to the recommended printed circuit pattern or make slits, etc. at pins d
and e.

SANYO Semiconductor's recommended printed circuit board: Apply VCC=13.2V using a 30×30×1.5mm3 thick
aluminum board. The IC will be protected from the DC/AC shorting of switches 1 to 4 above. However, be careful not
to damage the IC by turning VCC ”ON” when DC short (SW 1 or SW 2) is on.

RL
The over-voltage protector (VCCX ≈ 21.5V) inside the IC is used to cut all bias routes and reverse bias between B-E of
output stage elements, in order to increase the power line’s capability of handling positive surge. This means, of course,
that a VCES (VCBO) type output stage element is used instead of the VCEO (VCER) type.

• Load Resistance and Misoperation
It should be noted that when RL < 2Ω and VCC is high, and the switch is turned “ON” when setting is for a signal
(THD = 10%), the ground detector (current × voltage Schmitt circuit) operates momentarily.
• Precautions on TaB
If power voltage is applied to the IC substrate (the heat sink on a set), the IC structure is such that the PN junctions
may be burned, causing deterioration or destruction. Consult SANYO Semiconductor’s Quality Assurance
Department with regard to the energy handling capability (voltage peak value, pulse width). Also, the IC TaB
(substrate) is connected to pin 3, large signal GND.
• Test of +VCC to Output Pin
Floating
+
+
b
+
LA4425A
13.2V
a
The power pin is in a floating state when a power capacitor is connected, so if +VCC touches output lines a and b , the
upper power transistor inside the IC will be damaged.
The LA4425A has a protective bypass route inside the IC.
• Starting Time (ts)
This is set at 0.35sec/typ, but it can be made shorter by making input capacitor Ci smaller, or longer by making it
larger.
• Pop noise
The pop noise prevention circuit operates to reduce pop until Rg reaches 50kΩ. However, if Rg is left open, the
charging route of input capacitor Ci is lost, so the pop noise reduction circuit stops operating and click noises become
louder.
• VG/OSC
The voltage gain is fixed at 45dB inside the IC. It is impossible to change it externally.
Phase compensation capacitors (350pF/total) are connected between individual stages inside the IC, and the open
loop gain is low. In addition, the upper and lower drives are made equivalent so that final stage current gain is
adjusted, providing a measure against unwanted high-frequency parasitic oscillation peculiar to power IC’s.
• BTL Connection
Connection is impossible with IC alone.
• Reverse Mounting of IC
The pin assignment is such that there is no danger of damage.

T.S.D is capable of starting operation at Tc 120 to 130°C. When this is converted to junction temperature (Tj) according to
the formula below.
Tj ≈ 165C,
Tj = Qjc.Pd + Tc
As T.S.D operation progresses, the output pin bias voltage drops, and it becomes harder to drive the upper waveform.
Therefore, the current (ICC) and power (PO) show a tendency to decrease.
Proper Cares in Mounting Radiator Fin
1. The mounting torque is in the range of 1. The mounting torque is in the range of 39 to 59 N.cm.
2. The distance between screw holes of the radiator fin must coincide with the distance between screw holes of the IC.
3. The screw to be used must have a head equivalent to the one of truss machine screw or binder machine screw defined
by JIS. Washers must be also used to protect the IC case.
4. No foreign matter such as cutting particles shall exist between heat sink and radiator fin. When applying grease on
the junction surface, it must be applied uniformly on the whole surface.
5. Because the heat sink mounting tab and the heat sink are at the same electric potential as the chip’s GND, care must
be taken when mounting the heat sink on more than one device.
6. IC lead pins are soldered to the printed circuit board after the radiator fin is mounted on the IC.
