TDA7575
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:

.
Detectable conventional faults are:
–SHORT TO GND
–SHORT TO Vs
SHORT ACROSS THE SPEAKER
The following additional features are provided:
OUTPUT OFFSET DETECTION
The TDA7575 has 2 operating statuses:
1) RESTART mode. The diagnostic is not enabled. Each audio channel operates independently from each oth-
er. 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. G). 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 in-
tervention of the short-circuit protection) occurs to the speakers outputs . Once activated, the diagnostics pro-
cedure develops as follows (fig. H):
To avoid momentary re-circulation spikes from giving erroneous diagnostics, a check of the output
status is made after 1ms: if normal situation (no overloads) is detected, the diagnostic is not per-
formed and the channel returns back active.
Instead, if an overload is detected during the check after 1 ms, then a diagnostic cycle having a du-
ration of about 100 ms is started.
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 microproces-
sor level (over than half a second is recommended).

OUTPUT DC OFFSET DETECTION.
Any DC output offset exceeding +/- 2 V are signalled out. This inconvenient might occur as a consequence of
initially 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.

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.
Double fault table for Turn On Diagnostic
S. GND (so) / S. GND (sk) in the above table make a distinction according to which of the 2 outputs is shorted
to ground (test-current source side= so, test-current sink side = sk). More precisely, in both the Channels SO =
CH+, and SK = CH-.
In Permanent Diagnostic the table is the same, with only a difference concerning Open Load(*) , which is not
among the recognisable faults. Should an Open Load be present during the device's normal working, it would
be detected at a subsequent Turn on Diagnostic cycle (i.e. at the successive Car Radio Turn on).
FAULTS AVAILABILITY
All the results coming from I
2
Cbus, by read operations, are the consequence of measurements inside a defined
period of time. If the fault is stable throughout the whole period, it will be sent out. This is true for DC diagnostic
(Turn on and Permanent), for Offset Detector.
To guarantee always resident functions, every kind of diagnostic cycles (Turn on, Permanent, Offset) will be
reactivate after any I2C reading operation. So, when the micro reads the I
2
C, a new cycle will be able to start,
but the read data will come from the previous diag. cycle (i.e. The device is in Turn On state, with a short to Gnd,
then the short is removed and micro reads I2C. The short to Gnd is still present in bytes, because it is the result
of the previous cycle. If another I2C reading operation occurs, the bytes do not show the short). In general to
observe a change in Diagnostic bytes, two I2C reading operations are necessary.

C PROGRAMMING/READING SEQUENCES
A correct turn on/off sequence respectful of the diagnostic timings and producing no audible noises could be as
follows (after battery connection):
TURN-ON: (STAND-BY OUT + DIAG ENABLE) --- 500 ms (min) --- MUTING OUT
TURN-OFF: MUTING IN --- 20 ms --- (DIAG DISABLE + STAND-BY IN)
Car Radio Installation: DIAG ENABLE (write) --- 200 ms --- I
