This document describes how to use the evaluation board in order to check devices performance; for any other information and deeper details please refer to the TDA7803A and TDA7808 datasheet (see Appendix UM2376 - Rev 2 - August 2020 www.st.com For further information contact your local STMicroelectronics sales office.
The basic application diagram is shown in Figure 2. A key components description and a suggestion about how to choose the right components, are respectively shown in Table Figure 2. EVAL-TDA7803A application circuit 2200µF 0.22 µF Vcc 1 Vcc 2 V S T-BY...
UM2376 Board operation Board operation Before any operation, please insert the power amplifier in the socket provided with the board. A heat-sink (not provided) has to be used. Please refer to Section 3 Power dissipation/Heat-sink to choose the right heat-sink. A supply voltage (battery voltage or equivalent) on VS-GND connectors, between 6 V and 18 V, is needed to operate the board.
UM2376 Power dissipation/Heat-sink Power dissipation/Heat-sink The heat-sink size / characteristics largely depend on the operating conditions and consequently power dissipation levels are implied. Dissipation can be higher if sine test tones are used instead of music or audio- simulation signals (e.g. Pink Noise). Considering the standard car-radio conditions (Vs = 14 V, RL = 4 Ω, 4-CH operation), the Pdiss levels implied are as follows (STD mode / SB-I mode @ Tamb = 70 °C , Tj-max = 150 °C): •...
UM2376 High frequency output waveforms High frequency output waveforms In SB-I mode the speaker signal (OUT-OUT) is the sum of the signals at OUT+ and OUT- pins, which are not sinusoidal (in STD mode they are). Here below it is reported an oscilloscope snapshot, which shows the output waveforms in SB-I mode (@ Po >...
This evaluation board/kit is intended to be used for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION OR EVALUATION PURPOSES ONLY and it is not considered by ST Microelectronics (ST) a finished end product fit for general consumer use. People handling the product(s) must have electronics training and observe good engineering practice standards.
