Caution and Application Method
(Description is made only on the single channel.)

1. Voltage Gain Adjustment

This IC has no NF (negative feedback) terminals. Therefore, the voltage gain can’t adjusted, but it makes
the device a space and total costs saver.

Amp. 1
Input

Amp. 2B

Figure 1 Block Diagram

The voltage gain of Amp.1 : GV1 = 8dB

The voltage gain of Amp.2A, B : GV2 = 20dB
The voltage gain of BLT Connection : GV (BTL) = 6dB
Therefore, the total voltage gain is decided by expression below.
GV = GV1 + GV2 + GV (BTL) = 8 + 20 + 6 = 34dB

2. Stand-by SW Function (pin 4)

By means of controlling pin 4 (stand-by terminal) to
VCC
high and low, the power supply can be set to ON and
OFF. The threshold voltage of pin 4 is set at about ON Power 10 kΩ
3VBE (typ.), and the power supply current is about 2 4
µA (typ.) at the stand-by state. OFF ≈ 2VBE

3. Muting Function (pin 22)

By means of controlling pin 22 less than 0.5 V, it can make the audio muting condition.
The muting time constant is decided by R1 and C4 and these parts is related the pop noise at power
ON/OFF.
The series resistance; R1 must be set up less than 10 kΩ to get enough muting attenuation.
The muting function have to be controlled by a transistor, FET and micro-controller port which has
IMUTE > 250 µA ability.
Pin 22 terminal voltage has the temperature characteristics of 4.6 V (low temperature) to 3.2 V (high
temperature).
Therefore, it is need to design with attention as using the micro-controller of which operating voltage is
less than 5 V.
Terminal 22 may not be pulled up and shall be controlled by OPEN/LOW.
When it is obliged to do, it must be pulled up via diode, because it has to defend flowing reverse current
to internal circuit of pin 22.

6. Prevention of speaker burning accident (In Case of Rare Short Circuit of Speaker)
When the direct current resistance between OUT + and OUT − terminal becomes 1 Ω or less and output
current over 4 A flows, this IC makes a protection circuit operate and suppresses the current into a speaker.
This system makes the burning accident of the speaker prevent as below mechanism.

<The guess mechanism of a burning accident of the speaker>

Abnormal output offset voltage (voltage between OUT + and OUT −) over 4 V is made by the external
circuit failure.(Note 4)
↓
The speaker impedance becomes 1 Ω or less as it is in a rare short circuit condition.
↓
The current more than 4 A flows into the speaker and the speaker is burned.

6.1 Applications
When output terminals short-circuit to VCC or GND, the voltage of 25pin is fixed to “L”.
And when shorting OUT + to OUT −, “L” and “H” are switched according to an input signal.
Therefore, it is possible to judge how the power IC condition is if a micro-controller detects the
25pin voltage that is smoothed out with LPF.
It is recommend that the threshold voltage (Vth) is set up as higher as possible because output level
of LPF is changed according to an input signal.
(for example, Vth is set up to 4 V if 25pin is pulled up to 5 V line.)

The absolute maximum ratings of a semiconductor device are a set of specified parameter values, which must not
be exceeded during operation, even for an instant. If any of these rating would be exceeded during operation, the
device electrical characteristics may be irreparably altered and the reliability and lifetime of the device can no
longer be guaranteed. Moreover, these operations with exceeded ratings may cause break down, damage and/or
degradation to any other equipment. Applications using the device should be designed such that each maximum
rating will never be exceeded in any operating conditions. Before using, creating and/or producing designs, refer to
and comply with the precautions and conditions set forth in this documents.
