Aregulatedsupplyisnot usuallyusedforthepower
outputstagesbecauseof its dimensioningmust be
donetaking into accountthe power to supply inthe
signal peaks.They are only a smallpercentage of
the total music signal, with consequently large
overdimensioningof the circuit.
Evenif with a regulatedsupplyhigheroutputpower
canbeobtained(V
S
is constantin all working condi-
tions), the additional cost and power dissipationdo
notusually justify itsuse. Usingnon-regulatedsup-
plies, there are fewer designe restriction. In fact,
when signal peaks are present, the capacitor filter
actsas a flywheelsupplyingthe required energy.
In average conditions, the continuouspower sup-
plied is lower. The music power/continuouspower
ratio is greater in this case than for the case of
regulated supplied, with space saving and cost
reduction.
(*) The value of closed loop gain must be higher than 24dB.
APPLICATION SUGGESTION
The recommendedvalues of the componentsare
those shown on application circuit of Figure 14.
Differentvaluescan be used.The Table2 can help
the designer.
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The TDA2030Ahas an original circuit which limits
the current of the output transistors. This function
can be considered as being peak power limiting
rather than simple current limiting. It reduces the
possibility that the devicegets damaged duringan
accidentalshort circuit from AC output to ground.
THERMAL SHUT-DOWN
The presenceof a thermal limiting circuit offersthe
following advantages:
1.
An overload on the output (even if it is
permanent), or an above limit ambient
temperaturecan be easily supported since the
T
j
cannot be higher than 150
o
C.
2.
The heatsink can have a smaller factor of
safety compared with that of a conventional
circuit.Thereisnopossibility ofdevicedamage
due to high junction temperature. If for any
reason, the junction temperatureincreases up
to 150
o
C, the thermal shut-down simply
reduces the power dissipationand the current
consumption.
