WORKING PRINCIPLES
Turn-on diagnostic - CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, CH5 Shorted load/open load detection
■ To detect a short across the load or an open
load, a subsonic current pulse is generated. The
information related to the status of the outputs is
measured and memorized at the top of the
current pulse (tm in fig.1). The current is
sourced by the positive pins (CH1+,...CH5+)
and it is sunk by the corresponding negative
pins (CH1-,...CH5-).

■
Isink and Isource are depending on the external resistor Rcs. The minimum allowed value for Rcs is
1.65KOhm. The relationship among Isink, Isource and Rcs is the following:
Isink = (3.3/Rcs) · 11
Isource = 1.5 · Isink
■
On bridge (or bridge equivalent) devices if there is no short circuit to GND or to Vs, Isource goes into
saturation mode (for Vout > 3V), and in the load flows Isink. As the turn-on diagnostic thresholds are
fixed, it is possible to calculate the ranges of loudspeaker resistance in which short circuit (S.C.), normal
operation and open load are detected as following:

The exact values of the above mentioned resistive ranges may vary a little, depending on the power amplifier
used.
Turn-on diagnostic - CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, CH5 - Short to GND and Vs.
To detect if there is short circuit to GND or Vs, the subsonic current pulse is exploited. The information related
to the status of the outputs are measured and memorized at the top of the current pulse (tm in fig.1). If no faults
are present, the pins connected to the audio outputs (CH1,..CH5) will reach about 3V.If one or more outputs are
shorted to GND, these voltages become lower than 3V.If one or more outputs are shorted to Vs, the output voltage increases over 3V.The fault status can be know by sensing the output voltages. The reason way voltage
threshold has been preferred instead of a current threshold to declare short circuit resistor ranges is two fold:
6/19
TDA7476
1) The amplifier can drain current in the resistive path of the short circuit, hence this current and consequently
the short circuit resistor cannot be determined with a sufficient level of accuracy.
2) The voltage difference between the car radio ground (reference) and the position of the chassis of the car
where the loudspeaker line is connected (due to an accidental short circuit) can be up to some hundreds of
mV. This does not permit a correct measure of the short circuit resistor.
Turn-on diagnostic - AUX1, AUX2
To detect if there is a short circuit to GND or an open load involving to the AUX output of the car radio, the voltage across a sensing resistor Rsens is detected.These output voltages (for example for the active antenna and
for the booster) are usually generated by high side drivers, but also voltage regulators with Vout >5V are admissible. The detection ranges can be set by adjusting the sensing resistors Rsens1 or Rsens2 as following:

Where AOL, Anop, Agnd are as specified in the ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS.

D96AU503
Permanent diagnostic - CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, CH5 - Short to GND and Vs
During the CAR-RADIO normal operation, to detect a short circuit to GND (or to Vs), the output voltages are
sensed. If one or more outputs stay at any voltage below 0.8V or over Vs-0.6V for more than 2 sec. (typ), the
warning pin is pulled down.The µP can address the TDA7476 to know the status.The subsonic current pulse is
activated also in this case. The fault is correctly detected if it remains until the memorization (tm in fig.1).In this
phase, faults regarding shorts across the load and open loads cannot be detected.
7/19
TDA7476
Permanent diagnostic - AUX1, AUX2 - Short circuit to GND and open load
■ The detection mode of the auxiliary inputs is equal to what is in place during turn-on, but the fault must
be lasting without interruption for more than 2 seconds.The warning pin is pulled down only in case of
short to GND. This is to avoid that this pin remains permanently to 0 level if one or both AUX outputs of
the car radio are unused.
Timing
■ From the byte "ADD1" to the byte "ADD2" the mP must wait a period Twait1(see Software Specification)
that is depending on the timing capacitor CT according to the following table (Twait1> tm, max):
CT (µF)
tm max (ms)

45
4.7
65
10
130
22
290

1300
Note: any (positive) spread of the capacitor value must be added. The relation to be used to determine Twait1
from the value of CT according to the following:
Twait1 > tm, max = (130 · CT/10µF)ms
■
After the byte "ADD2" the power amplifier can be switched-on. In some cases, the µP has to wait until
the current pulse is finished (Twait2). This time (ts in fig.1) is given by:
Twait2 > ts, max = (140 · CT/10µF)ms
For bridge or bridge equivalent devices (figg.5,6), Ct = 10µF will be enough.

Note: some faults can mask others if they are present at the same moment on the same channel:
- If there is a short to GND and an open load on the same channel, the TDA7476 gives information only
about one of them, depending on the wire on which the short circuit is present.
- The short circuit to GND masks any short circuit across the load.
- The short circuit to Vs masks any short or open load.

I2C BUS INTERFACE
Data transmission from microprocessor to the TDA7476 and viceversa takes place through the 2 wires I2C BUS
interface, consisting of the two lines SDA and SCL (pull-up resistors to positive supply voltage must be connected).
Data Validity
As shown by fig. 2, the data on the SDA line must be stable during the high period of the clock. The HIGH and
LOW state of the data line can only change when the clock signal on the SCL line is LOW.
Start and Stop Conditions
As shown by fig. 3 a start condition is a HIGH to LOW transition of the SDA line while SCL is HIGH. The stop
condition is a LOW to HIGH transition of the SDA line while SCL is HIGH.
Byte Format
Every byte transferred to the SDA line must contain 8 bits. Each byte must be followed by an acknowledge bit.
The MSB is transferred first.
Acknowledge
The transmitter* puts a resistive HIGH level on the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse (see fig.4). The
receiver** the acknowledges has to pull-down (LOW) the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse, so that
the SDAline is stable LOW during this clock pulse.
* Transmitter
= master (µP) when it writes an address to the TDA7476
= slave (TDA7476) when the µP reads a data byte from TDA7476
** Receiver

If ADD is connected to 5V, than A = 1 and the TDA7476 address is 0100011X

B) PERMANENT DIAGNOSTIC
It can sense the following diagnostic information:
CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, CH5
- Short Circuit to GND
- Short Circuit to Vs
Aux1, Aux2
- Short Circuit to GND (*)
- Open Load (*)
(*) Detected if the high side drivers attached to the Aux outputs are ON.
In this case the above conditions are not detected while the single infrasonic current pulse is present but before. The fault condition must be present for more than 2sec. (typ) and must be also true during the pulse,
where the data are memorized and then transmitted.The bytes from/to µP and TDA7476 are the same as
those in case of turn-on diagnostic (see above).
Here following is the permanent diagnostic output Data Bytes. The bits D7 and D6 of the first byte both stand at
0 level. This condition, although not possible during the turn-on diagnostic, can be useful to confirm that the
bytes are referred to the permanent diagnostic.

Repetitive turn-on diagnostic
During the turn-on diagnostic, the TDA7476 can reveal false "short circuit across load" and/or false "open load"
due to noise sources such as door slams.
This problem can be solved doing more than one turn-on diagnostic routine. If the µP asks for N times the state
of the audio system, it has to consider a fault as really present only if it is detected in all the N turn-on diagnostic.As above explained, the first time the TDA7476 receivers the byte ADD1, it does the turn-on diagnostic; then
each time it is addessed with ADD1, it does the permanent diagnostic. This is not true if, when the µP sends for
the first time the byte ADD2, it does not send to the TDA7476 the acknowledge after it has received the byte
BYTE3. In this case, the TDA7476 does not switch from turn-on to permanent diagnostic mode so if it receives
again the byte ADD1 it works as it was the first time that it does the turn-on diagnostic. In order to do repetitive
turn-on diagnostic, the mP has to be programmed as following:
■ Step 1: the µP sends ADD1
START
■
■
ADD1
ACK
ACK
Step 2: the µP waits Twait1 seconds
Step 3: the µP sends ADD2, receives BYTE1, BYTE2, BYTE3, does not send the acknowlegde after
BYTE3

Step 4: repeat Step1, Step2, Step3 while the second, third, fourth, ...turn-on diagnostic has to be done.
During the last turn-on diagnostic the µP sends ADD2, receives BYTE1, BYTE2, BYTE3, and sends
the acknowlegde after BYTE3
START

In this way only after that the TDA7476 has done for N times the turn-on diagnostic, it switches from turn-on to
permanent diagnostic mode.From now the TDA7476 always does the permanent diagnostic.To save time when
the audio system is switched on, it is possible to do the repetitive turn-on diagnostic when the car-radio is turned
off. In this case the steps to follow to do the repetitive turn-on diagnostic are the following:
1- to switch off the TDA7476 connecting STBY pin to ground;
2- to wait T5V seconds (time necessary for the discharge of the capacitor). If C5V = 10µF then T5V = 20ms typ;
3- to switch on the TDA7476
4- to do the repetitive turn-on diagnostic as above described;
5- to turn off the TDA7476.
WARNING PIN
■ This is an open drain output pin that is activated when a fault condition is present for more than 2 sec
(TYP). The fault conditions related to the warning pin are as follows:
- AUX1, AUX2
Short to GND
- CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, CH5:
Short Circuit to GND
Short Circuit to Vs
■
The purpose of this pin is to alert the µP and start with the permanent diagnostic routine only if faults
are present, thus avoiding CPU's waste of time.

APPLICATION NOTES
■ When single-ended devices are used and the application circuit is as shown in fig. 7,8, it is necessary
to use:
- a greater timing capacitor so that the time tm is high and the outputs of the amplifiers are able to rise over 1V;
- a resistor RCS 1.5 times higher than that used for the bridge amplifiers.
In this case, the loudspeaker resistance ranges in which short circuit, normal operation and open load
are detected will be as follows:
S.C. across Load
x
R1,SE
Normal Operation
R2,SE

R3,SE
Open Load

The exact values of the above mentioned resistive ranges may vary a little, depending on the power amplifier
used
In Permanent mode for single-ended devices as in fig. 7, 8 a short citcuit to ground is detected both when a
short to ground is really present and when the load is missing.
On single-ended devices as in figure 6, 8 if the loads are present then both in turn-on and in permanent diagnostic the fault present on one channel is pointed out for all the loads connected together.For example:
- see fig.8 if CH1+ is shorted to ground, the TDA7476 reveals a short to ground both for CH2 and for CH1.
- see fig.6 if CH1+ is shorted to ground, the TDA7476 detects a short circuit to ground for CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4.
About timing for the TDA7375, connected as in fig.7, Ct = 47µF if Cout = 1000µF, and Ct = 100µF if Cout =
2200µF.
If the circuit is as shown by fig. 8, the suggested values of Ct are as follows: Ct = 22µF if Cout = 1000µF,
Ct = 47µF if Cout = 2200µF.

TDA7476
■
To use the TDA7476 with a car-radio system which has less than five audio channel and less than two
auxiliary loads, it is necessary to take some cares:
- each pin CH± not used has to be fixed to 5V
- each pin AUX1IN, AUX1OUT, AUXIN2, AUX2OUT not used has to be fixed to a voltage equal or greater than 5V
The 5V voltage reference available on the chip (pin 10) is very useful to fix both CH± and AUX pins to
5V.
