FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA1553Q contains two identical amplifiers with differential input stages and can be used for bridge applications.
The gain of each amplifier is fixed at 26 dB. Special features of this device are:

Mute/stand-by switch
• low stand-by current (< 100 µA)
• low mute/stand-by switching current (low cost supply switch)
• mute facility.

Loudspeaker protection
When a short-circuit to ground is made, which forces a DC voltage across the loudspeaker of ≥ 1 V, a built-in protection
circuit becomes active and limits the DC voltage across the loudspeaker to ≤ 1 V. The delay time of the protection circuit
can be controlled by an external capacitor connected to pin 12.

Notes to the characteristics

1. The circuit is DC adjusted at VP = 6 V to 18 V and AC operating at VP = 8.5 V to 18 V.
2. At 18 V < VP < 30 V the DC output voltage ≤ VP/2.
3. Conditions:
a) V11 = 0 V
b) short-circuit to GND
c) switch V11 to MUTE or ON condition (rise time ≥ 10 µs).
4. Frequency response externally fixed.
5. Ripple rejection measured at the output with a source impedance of 0 Ω (maximum ripple amplitude of 2 V).
6. Frequency f = 100 Hz.
7. Frequency between 1 kHz and 10 kHz.
8. Noise voltage measured in a bandwidth of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
9. Noise output voltage independent of RS (VI = 0 V).
