■ Short-circuit protection to ground ■ Thermal shutdown Description The TDA2030 is a monolithic integrated circuit in the Pentawatt ® package, intended for use as a low frequency class-AB amplifier. Typically it provides 14 W output power (d = 0.5%) at 14 V/4 Ω . At ±14 V or 28 V, the guaranteed output power is 12 W on a 4 Ω load and 8 W on an 8 Ω (DIN45500). The TDA2030 provides high output current and has very low harmonic and crossover distortion. Furthermore, the device incorporates an original (and patented) short-circuit protection system comprising an arrangement for automatically limiting the dissipated power so as to keep the operating point of the output transistors within their safe operating range. A conventional thermal shutdown system is also included. Figure 1. Ex: Functional block diagram Table 1. Device summary Obsolete Product(s) - Obsolete Product(s)

Thermal Information

The presence of a thermal limiting circuit offers the following advantages:

  1. An overload on the output (even if it is permanent), or an above limit ambient temperature can be easily supported since T j cannot be higher than 150°C.
  2. The heatsink can have a smaller factor of safety compared with that of a conventional circuit. There is no possibility of device damage due to high junction temperature. If for any reason, the junction temperature increases to 150°C, the thermal shutdown simply reduces the power dissipation at the current consumption.

The maximum allowable power dissipation depends upon the size of the external heatsink (i.e. its thermal resistance); Figure 25 shows this power dissipation as a function of ambient temperature for different thermal resistances.
