The information related to the outputs status is read and memorized at the end of the current pulse top. The
acquisition time is 100 ms (typ.). No audible noise is generated in the process. As for SHORT TO GND / Vs the
fault-detection thresholds remain unchanged from 26 dB to 12 dB gain setting. They are as follows:
Concerning SHORT ACROSS THE SPEAKER / OPEN SPEAKER, the threshold varies from 26 dB to 12 dB
gain setting, since different loads are expected (either normal speaker's impedance or high impedance). The
values in case of 26 dB gain are as follows:
If the Line-Driver mode (Gv= 12 dB and Line Driver Mode diagnostic = 1) is selected, the same thresholds will
change as follows:
b) PERMANENT DIAGNOSTICS.
Detectable conventional faults are:
SHORT TO GND
SHORT TO Vs
SHORT ACROSS THE SPEAKER
The following additional features are provided:
OUTPUT OFFSET DETECTION
The TDA7564 has 2 operating statuses:
1 RESTART mode. The diagnostic is not enabled. Each audio channel operates independently from each
other. If any of the a.m. faults occurs, only the channel(s) interested is shut down. A check of the output
status is made every 1 ms (fig. 19). Restart takes place when the overload is removed.
2 DIAGNOSTIC mode. It is enabled via I
2
C bus and self activates if an output overload (such to cause
the intervention of the short-circuit protection) occurs to the speakers outputs. Once activated, the di-
agnostics procedure develops as follows (fig. 20):
To avoid momentary re-circulation spikes from giving erroneous diagnostics, a check of the output sta-
tus is made after 1ms: if normal situation (no overloads) is detected, the diagnostic is not performed and
the channel returns back active.
Instead, if an overload is detected during the check after 1 ms, then a diagnostic cycle having a duration
of about 100 ms is started.

TDA7564
After a diagnostic cycle, the audio channel interested by the fault is switched to RESTART mode. The
relevant data are stored inside the device and can be read by the microprocessor. When one cycle has
terminated, the next one is activated by an I
2
C reading. This is to ensure continuous diagnostics
throughout the car-radio operating time.
To check the status of the device a sampling system is needed. The timing is chosen at microprocessor
level (over half a second is recommended).

the fault is done

OUTPUT DC OFFSET DETECTION
Any DC output offset exceeding ±2V are signalled out. This inconvenient might occur as a consequence of ini-
tially defective or aged and worn-out input capacitors feeding a DC component to the inputs, so putting the
speakers at risk of overheating.
This diagnostic has to be performed with low-level output AC signal (or Vin = 0).
The test is run with selectable time duration by microprocessor (from a "start" to a "stop" command):
START = Last reading operation or setting IB1 - D5 - (OFFSET enable) to 1
STOP = Actual reading operation
Excess offset is signalled out if persistent throughout the assigned testing time. This feature is disabled if any
overloads leading to activation of the short-circuit protection occurs in the process.
AC DIAGNOSTIC.
It is targeted at detecting accidental disconnection of tweeters in 2-way speaker and, more in general, presence
of capacitively (AC) coupled loads.
This diagnostic is based on the notion that the overall speaker's impedance (woofer + parallel tweeter) will tend
to increase towards high frequencies if the tweeter gets disconnected, because the remaining speaker (woofer)
would be out of its operating range (high impedance). The diagnostic decision is made according to peak output

current thresholds, as follows:
Iout > 500mApk = NORMAL STATUS
Iout < 250mApk = OPEN TWEETER
To correctly implement this feature, it is necessary to briefly provide a signal tone (with the amplifier in "play")
whose frequency and magnitude are such to determine an output current higher than 500mApk in normal con-
ditions and lower than 250mApk should the parallel tweeter be missing. The test has to last for a minimum num-
ber of 3 sine cycles starting from the activation of the AC diagnostic function IB2<D2>) up to the I2C reading of
the results (measuring period). To confirm presence of tweeter, it is necessary to find at least 3 current pulses
over 500mA over all the measuring period, else an "open tweeter" message will be issued.
The frequency / magnitude setting of the test tone depends on the impedance characteristics of each specific
speaker being used, with or without the tweeter connected (to be calculated case by case). High-frequency
tones (> 10 KHz) or even ultrasonic signals are recommended for their negligible acoustic impact and also to
maximize the impedance module's ratio between with tweeter-on and tweeter-off.
Fig. 21 shows the Load Impedance as a function of the peak output voltage and the relevant diagnostic fields.
This feature is disabled if any overloads leading to activation of the short-circuit protection occurs in the process.

MULTIPLE FAULTS
When more misconnections are simultaneously in place at the audio outputs, it is guaranteed that at least one
of them is initially read out. The others are notified after successive cycles of I
2
C reading and faults removal,
provided that the diagnostic is enabled. This is true for both kinds of diagnostic (Turn on and Permanent).
The table below shows all the couples of double-fault possible. It should be taken into account that a short circuit
with the 4 ohm speaker unconnected is considered as double fault.
