Caution and Application Method
(Description is made only on the single channel.)
1. Voltage Gain Adjustment
This IC has no NF (negative feedback) terminals. Therefore, the voltage gain cant adjusted, but it makes
the device a space and total costs saver.

Amp. 1

Amp. 2B

Figure 1

Block Diagram

The voltage gain of Amp.1:

GV1 = 8 dB
The voltage gain of Amp.2A, B:
GV2 = 20 dB
The voltage gain of BLT Connection: GV (BTL) = 6 dB
Therefore, the total voltage gain is decided by expression below.
GV = GV1 + GV2 + GV (BTL) = 8 + 20 + 6 = 34 dB

2. Stand-by SW Function (pin 4)

By means of controlling pin 4 (stand-by terminal)
to high and low, the power supply can be set to ON
and OFF. The threshold voltage of pin 4 is set at
about 3VBE (typ.), and the power supply current is
about 2 mA (typ.) at the stand-by state.

Since VCC can directly be controlled to ON or OFF by the microcomputer, the switching relay can be
omitted.
Since the control current is microscopic, the switching relay of small current capacity is satisfactory
for switching

3. Muting Function (pin 22)
By means of controlling pin 22 less than 0.5 V, it can make the audio muting condition.
The muting time constant is decided by R1, C4 and C8 and these parts is related the pop noise at power
ON/OFF.
The series resistance; R1 must be set up less than 5 kW.
The muting function have to be controlled by a transistor, FET and m-COM port which has IMUTE > 50
mA ability.

4. AUX Input (pin 16)

20dB AMP.

The pin 16 is for input terminal of AUX

amplifier.
The total gain is 0dB by using of AUX amplifier.
Therefore, the m-COM can directly drive the
AUX amplifier.
BEEP sound or voice synthesizer signal can be
input to pin 16 directly.
When AUX function is not used, this pin must be
connected to PRE-GND (pin 13) via a capacitor.

5. Prevention of speaker burning accident (In Case of Rare Short Circuit of Speaker)
When the direct current resistance between OUT + and OUT - terminal becomes 1 W or less and output
current over 4 A flows, this IC makes a protection circuit operate and suppresses the current into a speaker.
This system makes the burning accident of the speaker prevent as below mechanism.
<The guess mechanism of a burning accident of the speaker>
Abnormal output offset voltage (voltage between OUT + and OUT -) over 4 V is made by the external
circuit failure.(Note 1)

The speaker impedance becomes 1 W or less as it is in a rare short circuit condition.

The current more than 4 A flows into the speaker and the speaker is burned.
