INTRODUCTION
In consumer electronics, an increasing demand
has arisen for very high power monolithic audio
amplifiers able to match, with a low cost the performance obtained from the best discrete designs.
The task of realizing this linear integrated circuit
in conventional bipolar technology is made extremely difficult by the occurence of 2nd breakdown phenomenon. It limits the safe operating
area (SOA) of the power devices, and as a consequence, the maximum attainable output power,
especially in presence of highly reactive loads.
Moreover, full exploitation of the SOA translates
into a substantial increase in circuit and layout
complexity due to the need for sophisticated protection circuits.
To overcome these substantial drawbacks, the
use of power MOS devices, which are immune
from secondary breakdown is highly desirable.
The device described has therefore been developed in a mixed bipolar-MOS high voltage technology called BCD 100.
1) Output Stage
The main design task one is confronted with while
developing an integrated circuit as a power operational amplifier, independently of the technology used, is that of realizing the output stage.
The solution shown as a principle shematic by Fig
15 represents the DMOS unity-gain output buffer
of the TDA7294.
This large-signal, high-power buffer must be capable of handling extremely high current and voltage levels while maintaining acceptably low har-
monic distortion and good behaviour over frequency response; moreover, an accurate control
of quiescent current is required.
A local linearizing feedback, provided by differential amplifier A, is used to fullfil the above requirements, allowing a simple and effective quiescent
current setting.
Proper biasing of the power output transistors
alone is however not enough to guarantee the absence of crossover distortion.
While a linearization of the DC transfer characteristic of the stage is obtained, the dynamic behaviour of the system must be taken into account.
A significant aid in keeping the distortion contributed by the final stage as low as possible is provided by the compensation scheme, which exploits the direct connection of the Miller capacitor
at the amplifier’s output to introduce a local AC
feedback path enclosing the output stage itself.
2) Protections
In designing a power IC, particular attention must
be reserved to the circuits devoted to protection
of the device from short circuit or overload conditions.
Due to the absence of the 2nd breakdown phenomenon, the SOA of the power DMOS transistors is delimited only by a maximum dissipation
curve dependent on the duration of the applied
stimulus.
In order to fully exploit the capabilities of the
power transistors, the protection scheme implemented in this device combines a conventional
SOA protection circuit with a novel local temperature sensing technique which ” dynamically” controls the maximum dissipation.

In addition to the overload protection described

circuit which initially puts the device into a muting

Tj = 150 oC).
Full protection against electrostatic discharges on
every pin is included.
3) Other Features
The device is provided with both stand-by and
mute functions, independently driven by two
CMOS logic compatible input pins.
The circuits dedicated to the switching on and off
of the amplifier have been carefully optimized to
avoid any kind of uncontrolled audible transient at
the output.
The sequence that we recommend during the
ON/OFF transients is shown by Figure 16.
The application of figure 17 shows the possibility
of using only one command for both st-by and
mute functions. On both the pins, the maximum
applicable range corresponds to the operating
supply voltage.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
HIGH-EFFICIENCY
Constraints of implementing high power solutions
are the power dissipation and the size of the
power supply. These are both due to the low efficiency of conventional AB class amplifier approaches.
Here below (figure 18) is described a circuit proposal for a high efficiency amplifier which can be
adopted for both HI-FI and CAR-RADIO applications.
The TDA7294 is a monolithic MOS power amplifier which can be operated at 80V supply voltage
(100V with no signal applied) while delivering output currents up to ±10 A.
This allows the use of this device as a very high
power amplifier (up to 180W as peak power with
T.H.D.=10 % and Rl = 4 Ohm); the only drawback
is the power dissipation, hardly manageable in
the above power range.
Figure 20 shows the power dissipation versus
output power curve for a class AB amplifier, compared with a high efficiency one.
In order to dimension the heatsink (and the power
supply), a generally used average output power
value is one tenth of the maximum output power
at T.H.D.=10 %.
From fig. 20, where the maximum power is
around 200 W, we get an average of 20 W, in this
condition, for a class AB amplifier the average
power dissipation is equal to 65 W.
The typical junction-to-case thermal resistance of
the TDA7294 is 1 oC/W (max= 1.5 oC/W). To
avoid that, in worst caseo conditions, the chip temperature exceedes 150 C, the thermal resistance
of the heatsink must be 0.038 oC/W (@ max ambient temperature of 50 oC).
As the above value is pratically unreachable; a
high efficiency system is needed in those cases
where the continuous RMS output power is higher
than 50-60 W.
The TDA7294 was designed to work also in
higher efficiency way.
For this reason there are four power supply pins:
two intended for the signal part and two for the
power part.
T1 and T2 are two power transistors that only operate when the output power reaches a certain
threshold (e.g. 20 W). If the output power increases, these transistors are switched on during
the portion of the signal where more output voltage swing is needed, thus ”bootstrapping” the
power supply pins (#13 and #15).

Figure 19: P.C.B. and Components Layout of the Circuit of figure 18 (1:1 scale)
diodes Z1,Z2 and resistors R7,R8 define the minimum drop across the power MOS transistors of
the TDA7294. L1, L2, L3 and the snubbers C9,
R1 and C10, R2 stabilize the loops formed by the
”bootstrap” circuits and the output stage of the
TDA7294.
In figures 21,22 the performances of the system
in terms of distortion and output power at various
frequencies (measured on PCB shown in fig. 19)
are displayed.
The output power that the TDA7294 in highef ficien cy application is able to supply at
Vs = +40V/+20V/-20V/ -40V; f =1 KHz is:
- Pout = 150 W @ T.H.D.=10 % with Rl= 4 Ohm
- Pout = 120 W @ ”
= 1% ” ” ”
- Pout = 100 W @ ”
=10 % with Rl= 8 Ohm
- Pout = 80 W @ ”
= 1% ” ” ”
Results from efficiency measurements (4 and 8
Ohm loads, Vs = ±40V) are shown by figures 23
and 24. We have 3 curves: total power dissipation, power dissipation of the TDA7294 and
power dissipation of the darlingtons.
By considering again a maximum average
output power (music signal) of 20W, in case
of the high efficiency application, the thermal
resistance value needed from the heatsink is
2.2oC/W (Vs =±40 V and Rl= 4 Ohm).
All components (TDA7294 and power transistors
T1 and T2) can be placed on a 1.5oC/W heatsink,
with the power darlingtons electrically insulated
from the heatsink.
Since the total power dissipation is less than that
of a usual class AB amplifier, additional cost savings can be obtained while optimizing the power
supply, even with a high headroom.

- High power performances with limited supply
voltage level.
- Considerably high output power even with high
load values (i.e. 16 Ohm).
The characteristics shown by figures 27 and 28,
measured with loads respectively 8 Ohm and 16
Ohm.
With Rl= 8 Ohm, Vs = ±25V the maximum output
power obtainable is 150 W, while with Rl=16
Ohm, Vs = ±35V the maximum Pout is 170 W.
BRIDGE APPLICATION
Another application suggestion is the BRIDGE
configuration, where two TDA7294 are used, as
shown by the schematic diagram of figure 25.
In this application, the value of the load must not
be lower than 8 Ohm for dissipation and current
capability reasons.
A suitable field of application includes HI-FI/TV
subwoofers realizations.
The main advantages offered by this solution are:
