2×1.5 W BTL audio amplifier TDA8542AT
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA8542AT is a 2 ×1.5 W BTL audio power amplifier
capable of delivering 2 ×1.5 W output power to an 8
load at THD = 10% using a 6 V power supply. Using the
MODE pin the device can be switched to standby and
mute condition. The device is protected by an internal
thermal shutdown protection mechanism. The gain can be
set within a range from 6 to 30 dB by external feedback
resistors.
Power amplifier
The power amplifier is a Bridge-Tied Load (BTL) amplifier
with a complementary PNP-NPN output stage.
The voltage loss on the positive supply line is the
saturation voltage of a PNP power transistor, on the
negative side the saturation voltage of a NPN power
transistor. The total voltage loss is <1 V and with a 6 V
supply voltage and an 8 loudspeaker an output power of
1.5 W can be delivered.
Mode select pin
The device is in the standby mode (with a very low current
consumption) if the voltage at the MODE pin is
>(VCC 0.5 V), or if this pin is floating. At a MODE voltage
level of less than 0.5 V the amplifier is fully operational.
In the range between 1.5 V and VCC 1.5 V the amplifier
is in mute condition. The mute condition is useful to
suppress plop noise at the output caused by charging of
the input capacitor.
Headphone connection
A headphone can be connected to the amplifier using two
coupling capacitors for each channel. The common GND
pin of the headphone is connected to the ground of the
amplifier (see Fig.14). In this case the BTL/SE pin must be
either on a logic HIGH level or not connected at all.
The two coupling capacitors can be omitted if it is allowed
to connect the common GND pin of the headphone jack
not to ground, but to a voltage level of 12VCC (see Fig.14).
In this case the BTL/SE pin must be either on a logic LOW
level or connected to ground. If the BTL/SE pin is on a
LOW level, the power amplifier for the positive
loudspeaker terminal is always in mute condition.
LIMITING VALUES
In accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System (IEC 134).

TEST AND APPLICATION INFORMATION
Test conditions
Because the application can be either Bridge-Tied Load
(BTL) or Single-Ended (SE), the curves of each application
are shown separately.
The thermal resistance = 60 K/W; the maximum sine wave
power dissipation for Tamb =25°C is:
For Tamb =60°C the maximum total power dissipation is:
BTL application
Tamb =25°C if not specially mentioned, VCC =6V,
f = 1 kHz, RL=8, Gv= 20 dB, audio band-pass
22 Hz to 22 kHz.
The BTL application diagram is illustrated in Fig.3.
The quiescent current has been measured without any
load impedance. The total harmonic distortion as a
function of frequency was measured with a low-pass filter
of 80 kHz. The value of capacitor C3 influences the
behaviour of the SVRR at low frequencies, increasing the
value of C3 increases the performance of the SVRR.
The figure of the mode select voltage (Vms) as a function
of the supply voltage shows three areas; operating, mute
and standby. It shows, that the DC-switching levels of the
mute and standby respectively depends on the supply
voltage level.
Thermal behaviour
The measured thermal resistance of the IC package is
highly dependent on the configuration and size of the
application board. Data may not be comparable between
different semiconductors manufacturers because the
application boards and test methods are not (yet)
standardized. Also, the thermal performance of packages
for a specific application may be different than presented
here, because the configuration of the application boards
(copper area) may be different.
Philips Semiconductors uses FR-4 type application boards
with 1 oz copper traces with solder coating.
The measurements have been carried out with vertical
placed boards.

---------------------- 2.1 W=
150 60

---------------------- 1.5 W=
Using a practical PCB layout with wider copper tracks and
some copper area to the IC pins and just under the IC
(see Fig.22), the thermal resistance from junction to
ambient can be reduced to approximately 56 K/W.
For Tamb(max) =50°C the maximum total power dissipation
at this PCB layout is:
For the application VCC = 6 V and RL=8 the worst case
sine wave dissipation is 1.75 W.
SE application
Tamb =25°C if not specially mentioned, VCC = 7.5 V,
f = 1 kHz, RL=4, Gv= 20 dB, audio band-pass
22 Hz to 22 kHz.
The SE application diagram is illustrated in Fig.14.
If the BTL/SE pin (pin 6) is connected to ground, the
positive outputs (pins 3 and 8) will be in mute condition
with a DC level of 12VCC. When a headphone is used
(RL25 Ω) the SE headphone application can be used
without output coupling capacitors; load between negative
output and one of the positive outputs (e.g. pin 3) as
common pin.
Increasing the value of electrolytic capacitor C3 will result
in a better channel separation. Because the positive output
is not designed for high output current (2 ×Io) at low load
impedance (16 ), the SE application with output
capacitors connected to ground is advised. The capacitor
value of C4/C5 in combination with the load impedance
determines the low frequency behaviour. The THD as a
function of frequency was measured using a low-pass filter
of 80 kHz. The value of capacitor C3 influences the
behaviour of the SVRR at low frequencies, increasing the
value of C3 increases the performance of the SVRR.
General remark
The frequency characteristic can be adapted by
connecting a small capacitor across the feedback resistor.
To improve the immunity of HF radiation in radio circuit
applications, a small capacitor can be connected in
parallel with the feedback resistor (56 k); this creates a
low-pass filter.

SOLDERING
Introduction
There is no soldering method that is ideal for all IC
packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when
through-hole and surface mounted components are mixed
on one printed-circuit board. However, wave soldering is
not always suitable for surface mounted ICs, or for
printed-circuits with high population densities. In these
situations reflow soldering is often used.
This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology.
A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in
our
“IC Package Databook”
(order code 9398 652 90011).
Reflow soldering
Reflow soldering techniques are suitable for all SO
packages.
Reflow soldering requires solder paste (a suspension of
fine solder particles, flux and binding agent) to be applied
to the printed-circuit board by screen printing, stencilling or
pressure-syringe dispensing before package placement.
Several techniques exist for reflowing; for example,
thermal conduction by heated belt. Dwell times vary
between 50 and 300 seconds depending on heating
method. Typical reflow temperatures range from
215 to 250 °C.
Preheating is necessary to dry the paste and evaporate
the binding agent. Preheating duration: 45 minutes at
45 °C.
Wave soldering
Wave soldering techniques can be used for all SO
packages if the following conditions are observed:
A double-wave (a turbulent wave with high upward
pressure followed by a smooth laminar wave) soldering
technique should be used.
The longitudinal axis of the package footprint must be
parallel to the solder flow.
The package footprint must incorporate solder thieves at
the downstream end.
During placement and before soldering, the package must
be fixed with a droplet of adhesive. The adhesive can be
applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe
dispensing. The package can be soldered after the
adhesive is cured.
Maximum permissible solder temperature is 260 °C, and
maximum duration of package immersion in solder is
10 seconds, if cooled to less than 150 °C within
6 seconds. Typical dwell time is 4 seconds at 250 °C.
A mildly-activated flux will eliminate the need for removal
of corrosive residues in most applications.
Repairing soldered joints
Fix the component by first soldering two diagonally-
opposite end leads. Use only a low voltage soldering iron
(less than 24 V) applied to the flat part of the lead. Contact
time must be limited to 10 seconds at up to 300 °C. When
using a dedicated tool, all other leads can be soldered in
one operation within 2 to 5 seconds between
270 and 320 °C.
