Connect a capacitor of 1000 pF across pins 1 and 2 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 2 and 3. DUAL Printed Circuit Pattern Example GND OUT1 1 IN1 VCC GND IN2 OUT2 . Short Circuit Tests 1 Cu-foiled side 45.0 × 75.0 mm2 Sanyo’s recommended printed circuit board: Apply VCC = 13.2 V using a 30 × 30 × 1.5 mm3 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. . Power Supply Positive Surge JASO tester Application of giant pulse No.3309-6/8 LA4425A The overvoltage protector (VCCX 6 21.5 V) 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 < 2 Ω 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’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 +V CC to Output Pin Floating 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 (t ) This is set at 0.35 sec/typ, but it can be made shorter by making input capacitor Ci smaller, or longer by making it larger. . Pop noise s The pop noise prevention circuit operates to reduce pop until Rg reaches 50 kΩ. 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 45 dB inside the IC. It is impossible to change it externally. Phase compensation capacitors (350 pF/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. ICC, PO . Reverse Mounting of IC The pin assignment is such that there is no danger of damage. . T.S.D (Thermal Shutdown) Operating Temperature 30 × 30 × 1.5 mm3 thick Al board Ta = 25°C TC(°C) No.3309-7/8 LA4425A 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 6 165°C, Tj = QjcvPd + 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. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. The mounting torque is in the range of 39 to 59 Nvcm. The distance between screw holes of the radiator fin must coincide with the distance between screw holes of the IC. 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. 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. Because the heatsink mounting tab and the heatsink are at the same electric potential as the chip’s GND, care must be taken when mounting the heatsink on more than one device. IC lead pins are soldered to the printed circuit board after the radiator fin is mounted on the IC.
