STMICROELECTRONICS TDA7296 60W DMOS Audio Power Amplifier IC, 15 Pin

The STMICROELECTRONICS TDA7296 is a monolithic integrated circuit DMOS audio amplifier designed for high-fidelity audio applications. This Class AB amplifier integrates advanced features such as built-in mute and standby functions, which simplify remote operation and prevent the switching on/off noises commonly associated with audio equipment.

Operating over a very high voltage range from ±10V to ±35V, the TDA7296 delivers a robust output power of 60W into an 8-ohm load. Its DMOS power stage is engineered for high performance, offering very low distortion and noise levels to ensure pristine audio reproduction. A significant design benefit is the omission of Boucherot cells, simplifying the external circuit requirements.

Key Features and Protections

• Comprehensive Protection: The IC includes built-in short-circuit protection and thermal shutdown, safeguarding the amplifier and connected components from damage due to fault conditions or overheating.
• Clean Operation: The integrated muting function with a turn-on delay eliminates audible pops and clicks during power-up, ensuring a smooth and professional audio experience.
• Robust Construction: Housed in a 15-pin MultiWatt through-hole package, the amplifier is built for durability and reliable performance in demanding environments.

With its combination of high power, low noise, and integrated protections, the TDA7296 is an excellent choice for audiophiles and engineers building high-quality audio amplifiers, pre-amplifiers, and active speaker systems.
