1. General description
The TDA8946AJ is a dual-channel audio power amplifier with DC gain control. It has an output power of 2 × 15 W at an 8 Ω load and an 18 V supply. The circuit contains two Bridge-Tied Load (BTL) amplifiers with an all-
NPN output stage and standby/mute logic. The overall gain can be adjusted from +30 dB down to −50 dB using a DC control voltage. This feature can be used for volume control or for a preset gain. The TDA8946AJ comes in a 17-pin DIL-bent-SIL (DBS) power package and is pin compatible with the TDA8946J.
2. Features
s Gain/volume adjustment via a DC control pin s Soft clipping s Operating at a low supply voltage s Standby and mute mode s No on/off switching plops s Low standby current s High supply voltage ripple rejection s Outputs short-circuit protected to ground, supply and across the load s Thermally protected s Printed-circuit board compatible with TDA8944AJ and TDA8580J.
3. Applications
s Mains fed applications (e.g. TV sound) s PC audio s Portable audio.
