Circuit Diagram

Explanation of Circuit

The TDA1562Q is a mono class-H BTL output power amplifier designed to produce high output power with increased efficiency. The functional description of the circuit includes details on its power output, mode select input, status IIO input, output, diagnostic output, short-circuit protection, temperature recognition, and load detection.

Output Power

The TDA1562Q can produce 70W of output power, but it works like a typical BTL amplifier when lower output power (approximately 18W) is required. If a more significant output voltage swing is necessary, the internal supply voltage will be elevated using external electrolytic capacitors. This results in a significant decrease in dissipation when compared to a class-B output amplifier using the same output power. The heatsink must be suitable for use with audio signals, and if the case temperature exceeds 120C, the IC may switch back to class-B functionality.

Mode Select Input (Pin MODE)

The mode select input (pin MODE) offers three settings: (1) LOW, ‘standby’ – the entire circuit is turned off, (2) MID, ‘mute’ – the circuit is turned on, but the input signal is diminished, and (3) HIGH, ‘on’ – the input signal is amplified by 26dB. When switching from mute to ON or vice versa, the switching happens at the zero crossing of the input signal. The circuit has a fast start-up option, allowing it to be fully functional within 50ms when turned from standby to on.

Status IIO Input (Pin STAT)

The status IIO input (pin STAT) offers three options: (1) LOW, ‘fast mute’ – the circuit is turned on, but the input signal is under control, (2) MID, ‘class-B’ – the circuit works as a class-B amplifier with the high power supply voltage unable to function, and (3) HIGH, ‘class-H’ – the circuit functions as a class-H amplifier with the high power supply voltage activated. The transition from fast mute to class B/H or vice versa is quickly executed.

Output

The output offers three options: (1) LOW, ‘mute’, (2) MID, ‘class-B’ – the circuit works as a class-B amplifier, and (3) HIGH, ‘class-H’ – the circuit runs like a class-H amplifier. The transition from class B to class-H or vice versa occurs at the zero crossing of the input signal. The state I/O pins of up to 8 ICs can be connected together for synchronizing functions.

Diagnostic Output (Pin DIAG)

The diagnostic output (pin DIAG) is a dynamic distortion detector (DDD) that becomes effective on the start clipping of the output stages. This information can be used to control a sound processor or DC-volume control to attenuate the input signal and reduce distortion.

Short-Circuit Protection

In the event of a short-circuit in the output to ground or to the supply voltage, the output stages will be turned off and then started up again after 20ms. In this short-circuit condition, the diagnostic output is consistently reduced. If a short circuit occurs across the load, the output stages will be turned off for 20ms and then checked for 50us to determine if the short circuit is still present. In this case, the diagnostic output is reduced to 20ms and high for 50us

Temperature Recognition

Before the temperature protection becomes active, the diagnostic output goes to a continuous LOW state.

Load detection

As soon as the circuit switches from standby to mute or on, the internal detection circuit checks if the load is present. The results of this test can be observed in the diagnostic output by switching the mode select input to the mute mode. Since the diagnostic output is an open collector output, multiple devices can be connected in parallel.

Final Words

In conclusion, the 70-watt high-efficiency power amplifier circuit using IC TDA1562 is a fantastic addition to any audio system. The TDA1562 is a versatile and powerful IC that offers excellent sound quality, high efficiency, and ease of use. Whether building a new audio system or upgrading an existing one, this circuit is an excellent choice.
