PROTECTION
- If connection to the battery voltage is reversed, all regulator voltages will be zero
- Able to withstand voltages at the output of up to 18 V (supply line may be short-circuited)
- Thermal protection to avoid thermal breakdown
- Load-dump protection
- Regulator outputs protected from DC short-circuit to ground or to supply voltage
- All regulators protected by foldback current limiting
- Power switches protected from loss-of-ground.
APPLICATIONS
- Boost amplifier and voltage regulator for car radios and CD/MD players.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Amplifiers The TDA8588 has a complementary quad audio power amplifier that uses BCDMOS technology. It contains four amplifiers configured in Bridge Tied Load (BTL) to drive speakers for front and rear left and right channels. The I2C-bus allows diagnostic information of each amplifier and its speaker to be read separately. Both front and both rear channel amplifiers can be configured independently in line driver mode with a gain of 20 dB (differential output).
Voltage regulators
- The TDA8588 has a multiple output voltage regulator with two power switches. The voltage regulator contains the following:
- Four switchable regulators and one permanently active regulator (microcontroller supply)
- Two power switches with loss-of-ground protection
- A reset output that can be used to communicate with a microcontroller.
- The quiescent current has a very low level of 150 µA with only regulator 2 active.
