1. General description The TDA8944J is a dual-channel audio power amplifier with an output power of 2 × 7 W at an 8 Ω load and a 12 V supply. The circuit contains two Bridge Tied Load (BTL) amplifiers with an all-NPN output stage and standby/mute logic. The TDA8944J comes in a 17-pin DIL-bent-SIL (DBS) power package.
OUT2+ 8. Functional description The TDA8944J is a stereo BTL audio power amplifier capable of delivering 2 × 7 W output power to an 8 Ω load at THD = 10%, using a 12 V power supply and an external heatsink. The voltage gain is fixed at 32 dB.
8.3 Mode selection The TDA8944J has three functional modes, which can be selected by applying the proper DC voltage to pin MODE. See which depend on the supply voltage level. The MODE pin can be driven by a 3-state logic output stage: e.g.
A larger capacitor value on the SVR pin improves the ripple rejection behaviour at the lower frequencies. 8.5 Built-in protection circuits The TDA8944J contains two types of protection circuits, i.e. short-circuit and thermal shutdown. 8.5.1 Short-circuit protection Short-circuit to ground or supply line —...
