tda7294 100V - 100W DMOS audio amplifier - 320Volt

TDA7294
APPLICATION INFORMATION
HIGH-EFFICIENCY
Constraints of implementing high power solutions
are the power dissipation and the size of the
power supply. These are both due to the low efficiency
of conventional AB class amplifier approaches.
Here below (figure 18) is described a circuit proposal
for a high efficiency amplifier which can be
adopted for both HI-FI and CAR-RADIO applications.
The TDA7294 is a monolithic MOS power amplifier
which can be operated at 80V supply voltage
(100V with no signal applied) while delivering output
currents up to ±10 A.
This allows the use of this device as a very high
power amplifier (up to 180W as peak power with
T.H.D.=10 % and Rl = 4 Ohm); the only drawback
is the power dissipation, hardly manageable in
the above power range.
Figure 20 shows the power dissipation versus
output power curve for a class AB amplifier, compared
with a high efficiency one.
In order to dimension the heatsink (and the power
supply), a generally used average output power
value is one tenth of the maximum output power
at T.H.D.=10 %.
From fig. 20, where the maximum power is
around 200 W, we get an average of 20 W, in this
condition, for a class AB amplifier the average
power dissipation is equal to 65 W.
The typical junction-to-case thermal resistance of
the TDA7294 is 1 o C/W (max= 1.5 o C/W). To
avoid that, in worst case conditions, the chip temperature
exceedes 150 o C, the thermal resistance
of the heatsink must be 0.038 o C/W (@ max ambient
temperature of 50 o C).
As the above value is pratically unreachable; a
high efficiency system is needed in those cases
where the continuous RMS output power is higher
than 50-60 W.
The TDA7294 was designed to work also in
higher efficiency way.
For this reason there are four power supply pins:
two intended for the signal part and two for the
power part.
T1 and T2 are two power transistors that only operate
when the output power reaches a certain
threshold (e.g. 20 W). If the output power increases,
these transistors are switched on during
the portion of the signal where more output voltage
swing is needed, thus "bootstrapping" the
power supply pins (#13 and #15).
