Repetitive turn-on diagnostic
During the turn-on diagnostic, the TDA7476 can reveal false "short circuit across load" and/or false "open load"
due to noise sources such as door slams.
This problem can be solved doing more than one turn-on diagnostic routine. If the
µ
P asks for N times the state
of the audio system, it has to consider a fault as really present only if it is detected in all the N turn-on diagnos-
tic.As above explained, the first time the TDA7476 receivers the byte ADD1, it does the turn-on diagnostic; then
each time it is addessed with ADD1, it does the permanent diagnostic. This is not true if, when the
µ
P sends for
the first time the byte ADD2, it does not send to the TDA7476 the acknowledge after it has received the byte
BYTE3. In this case, the TDA7476 does not switch from turn-on to permanent diagnostic mode so if it receives
again the byte ADD1 it works as it was the first time that it does the turn-on diagnostic. In order to do repetitive
turn-on diagnostic, the mP has to be programmed as following:
Step 1: the µP sends ADD1
Step 2: the µP waits Twait1 seconds
Step 3: the µP sends ADD2, receives BYTE1, BYTE2, BYTE3, does not send the acknowlegde after
BYTE3

Step 4: repeat Step1, Step2, Step3 while the second, third, fourth, ...turn-on diagnostic has to be done.
During the last turn-on diagnostic the µP sends ADD2, receives BYTE1
, BYTE2, BYTE3, and sends
the acknowlegde after BYTE3
In this way only after that the TDA7476 has done for N times the turn-on diagnostic, it switches from turn-on to
permanent diagnostic mode.From now the TDA7476 always does the permanent diagnostic.To save time when
the audio system is switched on, it is possible to do the repetitive turn-on diagnostic when the car-radio is turned
off. In this case the steps to follow to do the repetitive turn-on diagnostic are the following:
1- to switch off the TDA7476 connecting STBY pin to ground;
2- to wait T
5V
seconds (time necessary for the discharge of the capacitor). If C
5V
= 10
µ
F then T
5V
= 20ms typ;
3- to switch on the TDA7476
4- to do the repetitive turn-on diagnostic as above described;
5- to turn off the TDA7476.
WARNING PIN
This is an open drain output pin that is activated when a fault condition is present for more than 2 sec
(TYP). The fault conditions related to the warning pin are as follows:
- AUX1, AUX2
Short to GND
- CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, CH5:
Short Circuit to GND
Short Circuit to Vs
The purpose of this pin is to alert the µP and start with the permanent diagnostic routine only if faults
are present, thus avoiding CPU's waste of time.

APPLICATION NOTES
When single-ended devices are used and the application circuit is as shown in fig. 7,8, it is necessary
to use:
-
a greater timing capacitor so that the time tm is high and the outputs of the amplifiers are able to rise over 1V
;
- a resistor R
CS
1.5 times higher than that used for the bridge amplifiers.
In this case, the loudspeaker resistance ranges in which short circuit, normal operation and open load
are detected will be as follows:
For example, here below are two cases, with R
CS
= 4.7kOhm and R
CS
= 2.7kOhm.
The exact values of the above mentioned resistive ranges may vary a little, depending on the power amplifier
used
In Permanent mode for single-ended devices as in fig. 7, 8 a short citcuit to ground is detected both when a
short to ground is really present and when the load is missing.
On single-ended devices as in figure 6, 8 if the loads are present then both in turn-on and in permanent diag-
nostic the fault present on one channel is pointed out for all the loads connected together.For example:
- see fig.8 if CH1+ is shorted to ground, the TDA7476 reveals a short to ground both for CH2 and for CH1.
- see fig.6 if CH1+ is shorted to ground, the TDA7476 detects a short circuit to ground for CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4.
