4.9.3 Polarity Inversion

High current (up to 10A) can be handled by the de-

vice with no damage for a longer period than the

blow-out time of a quick 2A fuse (normally con-

nected in series with the supply). This features is

added to avoid destruction, if during fitting to the

car, a mistake on the connection of the supply is

made.

4.10 Open Ground

When the radio is in the ON condition and the

ground is accidentally opened, a standard audio

amplifier will be damaged. On the TDA7350A pro-

tection diodes are included to avoid any damage.

4.10.1DC Voltage

The maximum operating DC voltage for the

TDA7350A is 18V. However the device can with-

stand a DC voltage up to 28V with no damage.

This could occur during winter if two batteries are

series connected to crank the engine.

4.10.2Thermal Shut-down

The presence of a thermal limiting circuit offers the

following advantages:

1) an overload on the output (even if it is perma-

nent), or an excessive ambient temperature can

be easily withstood.

2) the heatsink can have a smaller factor of safety

compared with that of a conventional circuit.

There is no device damage in the case of exces-

sive junction temperature: all happens is that Po

(and therefore Ptot) and Id are reduced.

The maximum allowable power dissipation de-

pends upon the size of the external heatsink (i.e.

its thermal resistance); Fig. 40 shows the dissi-

pable power as a function of ambient temperature

for different thermal resistance.

Dissipation vs. Ambient Temperature

The TDA7350A guarantees safe operations even

for the loudspeaker in case of accidental shortcir-

cuit.

Whenever a single OUT to GND, OUT to VS short

circuit occurs both the outputs are switched OFF

so limiting dangerous DC current flowing through

the loudspeaker.
