3DESCRIPTION
The TDA7375V is a new technology class AB car radio amplifier able to work either in DUAL BRIDGE or
QUAD SINGLE ENDED configuration.
The exclusive fully complementary structure of the output stage and the internally fixed gain guarantees
the highest possible power performances with extremely reduced component count.
The on-board clip detector simplifies gain compression operation. The fault diagnostics makes it possible
to detect mistakes during car radio set assembly and wiring in the car.

5 GENERAL STRUCTURE
5.1 High Application Flexibility
The availability of 4 independent channels makes it possible to accomplish several kinds of applications
ranging from 4 speakers stereo (F/R) to 2 speakers bridge solutions.
In case of working in single ended conditions the polarity of the speakers driven by the inverting amplifier
must be reversed respect to those driven by non inverting channels. This is to avoid phase inconveniences
causing sound alterations especially during the reproduction of low frequencies.
5.2 Easy Single Ended to Bridge Transition
The change from single ended to bridge configurations is made simply by means of a short circuit across
the inputs, that is no need of further external components.
5.3 Gain Internally Fixed to 20dB in Single Ended, 26dB in Bridge
Advantages of this design choice are in terms of:
■componentsand space saving
■output noise, supply voltage rejection and distortion optimization.
5.4 Silent Turn On/Off and Muting/Stand-by Function
The stand-by can be easily activated by means of a CMOS level applied to pin 7 through a RC filter.
Under stand-by condition the device is turned off completely (supply current = 1μA typ.; output attenuation
= 80dB min.). Every ON/OFF operation is virtually pop free. Furthemore, at turn-on the device stays in
muting condition for a time determined by the value assigned to the SVR capacitor.
While in muting the device outputs becomes insensitive to any kinds of signal that may be present at the
input terminals. In other words every transient coming from previous stages produces no unplesantacous-
tic effect to the speakers.
5.5 STAND-BY DRIVING (pin 7)
Some precautions have to be taken in the definition of stand-by driving networks: pin 7 cannot be directly
9/15
TDA7375V
driven by a voltage source whose current capability is higher than 5mA. In practical cases a series resis-
tance has always to be inserted, having it the double purpose of limiting the current at pin 7 and to smooth
down the stand-by ON/OFF transitions - in combination with a capacitor - for output pop prevention.
In any case, a capacitor of at least 100nF from pin 7 to S-GND, with no resistance in between, is necessary
to ensure correct turn-on.
5.6 OUTPUT STAGE
The fully complementary output stage was made possible by the development of a new component: the
ST exclusive power ICV PNP.
A novel design based upon the connection shown in fig. 23 has then allowed the full exploitation of its pos-
sibilities. The clear advantagesthis new approach has over classical output stages are as follows:
5.6.1 Rail-to-Rail Output Voltage Swing With No Need of Bootstrap Capacitors.
The output swing is limited only by the V
CEsat
of the output transistors, which is in the range of 0.3Ω (R
sat
)
each. Classical solutions adopting composite PNP-NPN for the upper output stage have higher saturation
loss on the top side of the waveform.
This unbalanced saturation causes a significant power reduction. The only way to recover power consists
of the addition of expensive bootstrap capacitors.
5.6.2 Absolute Stability Without Any External Compensation.
Referring to the circuit of fig. 23 the gain V
Out
/V
In
is greater than unity, approximately 1+R2/R1. The DC
output (V
CC
/2) is fixed by an auxiliary amplifier common to all the channels.
By controlling the amount of this local feedbackit is possible to force the loop gain (A*β) to less than unity
at frequency for which the phase shift is 180°. This means that the output buffer is intrinsically stableand
not prone to oscillation.
Most remarkably, the above feature has been achieved in spite of the very low closed loop gain of the
amplifier. In contrast, with the classical PNP-NPN stage, the solution adopted for reducing the gain at high
frequencies makes use of external RC networks, namely the Boucherot cells.
5.7 BUILT–IN SHORTCIRCUIT PROTECTION
Figure 23. The New Output Stage
Reliable and safe operation, in presence of all kinds of short circuit involving the outputs is assured by
BUILT-IN protectors. Additionally to the AC/DC short circuit to GND, to V
S
, across the speaker, a SOFT
SHORT condition is signalled out during the TURN-ON PHASE so assuring correct operation for the de-
TDA7375V
10/15
vice itself and for the loudspeaker.
This particular kind of protection acts in a way to avoid that the device is turned on (by ST-BY) when a
resistive path (less than 16 ohms) is present between the output and GND. As the involved circuitry is nor-
mally disabled when a current higher than 5mA is flowing into the ST-BY pin, it is important, in order not
to disable it, to have the external current source driving the ST-BY pin limited to 5mA.
This extra function becomes particularly attractive when, in the single ended configuration, one capacitor
is shared between two outputs (see fig. 24). Supposing that the output capacitor Cout for anyreason is
shorted, the loudspeaker will not be damaged being this soft short circuit condition revealed.

5.7.1 Diagnostics Facility
The TDA7375 is equipped with a diagnostic circuitry able to detect the following events:
■Clipping in the output signal
■Thermal shutdown
■Output fault:
– short to GND
– short to VS
– soft short at turn on
The information is available across an open collector output (pin 10) through a current sinking when the
event is detected A current sinking at pin 10 is triggered when a certain distortion level is reached at any
of the outputs. This function allows gain compression possibility whenever the amplifier is overdriven.
5.7.2 Thermal Shutdown
In this case the output 10 will signal the proximity of the junction temperature to the shutdown threshold.
Typically current sinking at pin 10 will start ~10°C before the shutdown threshold is reached.

5.8 HANDLING OF THE DIAGNOSTICS INFORMATION
As various kinds of information is available at the same pin (clipping detection, output fault, thermal prox-
imity), this signal must be handled properly in order to discriminate each event.
This could be done by taking into account the different timing of the diagnostic output during each case.
Normally the clip detector signalling produces a low level at pin 10 that is shorter than that present under
faulty conditions; based on this assumption an interface circuitry to differentiate the information is repre-
sented in the schematic of fig. 29.

5.9 PCB-LAYOUT GROUNDING (general rules)
The device has 2 distinct ground leads, P-GND (POWER GROUND) and S-GND (SIGNAL GROUND)
which are practically disconnected from each other at chip level. Proper operation requires that P-GND
and S-GND leads be connected together on the PCB-layout by means of reasonably low-resistance
tracks.
As for the PCB-ground configuration, a star-like arrangement whose center is represented by the supply-
filtering electrolytic capacitor ground is highly advisable. In such context, at least 2 separate paths have
to be provided, one for P-GND and one for S-GND. The correct ground assignments are as follows:
STANDBY CAPACITOR, pin 7 (or any other standby driving networks): on S-GND
SVR CAPACITOR (pin 6): on S-GND and to be placed as close as possible to the device.
INPUT SIGNAL GROUND (from active/passive signal processor stages): on S-GND.
SUPPLY FILTERING CAPACITORS (pins 3,13): on P-GND.
The (-) terminal of the electrolytic capacitor has to be directly tied to the battery (-) line and this should
represent the starting point for all the ground paths.
