1) The amplifier can drain current in the resistive path of the short circuit, hence this current and consequently
the short circuit resistor cannot be determined with a sufficient level of accuracy.
2) The voltage difference between the car radio ground (reference) and the position of the chassis of the car
where the loudspeaker line is connected (due to an accidental short circuit) can be up to some hundreds of
mV. This does not permit a correct measure of the short circuit resistor.
Turn-on diagnostic - AUX1, AUX2
To detect if there is a short circuit to GND or an open load involving to the AUX output of the car radio, the volt-
age across a sensing resistor Rsens is detected.These output voltages (for example for the active antenna and
for the booster) are usually generated by high side drivers, but also voltage regulators with Vout >5V are admis-
sible. The detection ranges can be set by adjusting the sensing resistors Rsens1 or Rsens2 as following:
Where A
OL
, Anop, Agnd are as specified in the ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS.
For example, if Rsens = 5 Ohm, the following detection table will be operative :
Permanent diagnostic - CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, CH5 - Short to GND and Vs
During the CAR-RADIO normal operation, to detect a short circuit to GND (or to Vs), the output voltages are
sensed. If one or more outputs stay at any voltage below 0.8V or over Vs-0.6V for more than 2 sec. (typ), the
warning pin is pulled down.The
µ
P can address the TDA7476 to know the status.The subsonic current pulse is
activated also in this case. The fault is correctly detected if it remains until the memorization (tm in fig.1).In this
phase, faults regarding shorts across the load and open loads cannot be detected.

Permanent diagnostic - AUX1, AUX2 - Short circuit to GND and open load
The detection mode of the auxiliary inputs is equal to what is in place during turn-on, but the fault must
be lasting without interruption for more than 2 seconds.The warning pin is pulled down only in case of
short to GND. This is to avoid that this pin remains permanently to 0 level if one or both AUX outputs of
the car radio are unused.
Timing
From the byte "ADD1" to the byte "ADD2" the mP must wait a period Twait1(see Software Specification)
that is depending on the timing capacitor CT according to the following table (Twait1> tm, max):
Note: any (positive) spread of the capacitor value must be added. The relation to be used to determine Twait1
from the value of CT according to the following:
Twait1 > tm, max = (130 · CT/10

F)ms
After the byte "ADD2" the power amplifier can be switched-on. In some cases, the µP has to wait until
the current pulse is finished (Twait2). This time (ts in fig.1) is given by:
Twait2 > ts, max = (140 · CT/10

Output voltage during test. (The power amplifier must be in ST-BY mode).
Voltage across the load during test. (The power amplifier must be in ST-BY mode).
Note: some faults can mask others if they are present at the same moment on the same channel:
- If there is a short to GND and an open load on the same channel, the TDA7476 gives information only
about one of them, depending on the wire on which the short circuit is present.
- The short circuit to GND masks any short circuit across the load.
- The short circuit to Vs masks any short or open load.

The following table shows the result pointed out by TDA7476 when multiple misconnections are present:
(*) CH means CH+ or CH-
AUX1 - AUX2
Voltage across the sensing resistors
The minimum voltage of the AUX IN pin to sense the open load condition is 2V.
The minimum voltage of the AUX IN pin to detect the short circuit to GND, by sensing the drop on the
resistors is 4.5V. If this voltage falls below 2V, the AUX in is considered short circuited to GND. From
2V to 4.5V the sensing circuit can detect a short circuit in both ways (by sensing across the resistor or
through the voltage between the AUX IN pin and GND).
