TDA8920C
2 × 110 W class-D power amplifier
When OCP is activated, the power transistors are turned off. They are turned on again
during the next switching cycle. If the output current is still greater than the OCP threshold,
they will be immediately switched off again. This switching will continue until C
PROT
is fully
discharged. The amplifier will then be switched off completely and a restart sequence
initiated.
After a fixed period of 100 ms, the amplifier will attempt to switch on again, but will fail if
the output current still exceeds the OCP threshold. The amplifier will continue trying to
switch on every 100 ms. The average power dissipation will be low in this situation
because the duty cycle is low.
Switching the amplifier on and off in this way will generate unwanted ‘audio holes’. This
can be avoided by increasing the value of C
PROT
(up to 220 pF) to delay amplifier
switch-off. C
PROT
will also prevent the amplifier switching off due to transient
frequency-dependent impedance drops at the speakers.
The amplifier will switch on, and remain in Operating mode, once the overcurrent
condition has been removed. OCP ensures the TDA8920C amplifier is fully protected
against short-circuit conditions while avoiding audio holes.
[1] OVP can be triggered by supply pumping; see Section 13.6.
8.3.3 Window Protection (WP)
Window Protection (WP) checks the conditions at the output terminals of the power stage
and is activated:
During the start-up sequence, when the TDA8920C is switching from Standby to
Mute.
Start-up will be interrupted If a short-circuit is detected between one of the output
terminals and pin VDDP1/VDDP2 or VSSP1/VSSP2. The TDA8920C will wait until the
short-circuit to the supply lines has been removed before resuming start-up. The short
circuit will not generate large currents because the short-circuit check is carried out
before the power stages are enabled.
When the amplifier is shut down completely because the OCP circuit has detected a
short circuit to one of the supply lines.
WP will be activated when the amplifier attempts to restart after 100 ms (see
Section 8.3.2). The amplifier will not start-up again until the short circuit to the supply
lines has been removed.

8.3.4 Supply voltage protection
If the supply voltage drops below the minimum supply voltage threshold, V
P(uvp)
, the UVP
circuit will be activated and the system will shut down. Once the supply voltage rises
above V
P(uvp)
again, the system will restart after a delay of 100 ms.
If the supply voltage exceeds the maximum supply voltage threshold, V
P(ovp)
, the OVP
circuit will be activated and the power stages will be shut down. When the supply voltage
drops below V
P(ovp)
again, the system will restart after a delay of 100 ms.
An additional UnBalance Protection (UBP) circuit compares the positive analog supply
voltage (on pin VDDA) with the negative analog supply voltage (on pin VSSA) and is
triggered if the voltage difference exceeds a factor of two (V
DDA
> 2 ×|V
SSA
| OR |V
SSA
| >
2 × V
DDA
). When the supply voltage difference drops below the unbalance threshold,
V
P(ubp)
, the system restarts after 100 ms.
An overview of all protection circuits and their respective effects on the output signal is
provided in Table 5.
[1] Amplifier gain depends on the junction temperature and heatsink size.
[2] The amplifier shuts down completely only if the short-circuit impedance is below the impedance threshold
(Z
th
; see Section 8.3.2). In all other cases, current limiting results in a clipped output signal.
[3] Fault condition detected during any Standby-to-Mute transition or during a restart after OCP has been
activated (short-circuit to one of the supply lines).
8.4 Differential audio inputs
The audio inputs are fully differential ensuring a high common mode rejection ratio and
maximum flexibility in the application.
Stereo operation: to avoid acoustical phase differences, the inputs should be in
antiphase and the speakers should be connected in antiphase. This configuration:
minimizes power supply peak current
minimizes supply pumping effects, especially at low audio frequencies
Mono BTL operation: the inputs must be connected in anti-parallel. The output of one
channel is inverted and the speaker load is connected between the two outputs of the
TDA8920C. In practice (because of the OCP threshold) the output power can be
boosted to twice the output power that can be achieved with the single-ended
configuration.
The input configuration for a mono BTL application is illustrated in Figure 7.
