Precaution For Use And Application
1. Input stage / : TA7368P / TA7368F
The input stage of power amplifier (equivalent circuit) is comprised of a
PNP differential pair (Q2 and Q3) preceded by a PNP emitter follower
9/2
(Q1) which allows DC referencing of the source signal to ground. This
eliminated the need for an input coupling capacitor. However, in case the
FROM PIN 7 / 10
brush noise of volume becomes a problem, provide serially a coupling
Q2 Q3
capacitor to the input side. R5

R4
2. Adjustment of voltage gain 1/4 Q1 Q4
The voltage gain is fixed at GV≒40dB by the resistors (R4 and R5) in IC,

27kΩ

however, its reduction is possible through adding Rf as shown in Figure 2. D1

In this case, the voltage gain is obtained by the following equation.

3. Ripple rejection ratio + 90Ω
Adding CRIP, to ripple terminal 2 as shown in Figure 3, the ripple 10Ω
rejection ratio is improved from -25dB typ. to -45dB typ. Fig.2

4. Power dissipation
Care should be taken to use this IC below maximum power dissipation. 2/5

Because it may over maximum rating depending on operating condition. CRIP +

· TA7368F PD = 400mW (Ta = 25°C) Fig.3

5. Phase-compensation
Small temperature coefficient and excellent frequency characteristic is needed by capacitors below.
· Oscillation preventing capacitors for power amplifier output
· Bypass capacitor for ripple filter
· Capacitor between VCC and GND
