Product details
Overview
FDA801B-VYY from STMicroelectronics is a quad-channel Class-D audio power amplifier IC designed for automotive infotainment systems, featuring 4 × 50 W output into 4 Ω at 15.2 V, integrated 110 dB D/A conversion, I²S/TDM digital input (44.1–192 kHz), and real-time digital impedance meter (DIM) via I²C diagnostics.
For engineers reviewing the FDA801B-VYY datasheet, FDA801B-VYY pinout, FDA801B-VYY application, or FDA801B-VYY equivalent, this device supports low-voltage "start-stop" engine compatibility (6 V min), EMI-compliant AM-band integration in single-DIN head units, and per-channel soft mute/tristate control with fault reporting.
Technical Context
The FDA801B-VYY implements a fully digital signal path with internal 24-bit DAC, interpolation, and noise shaping, feeding four independent Class-D half-bridge outputs. Its feedback loop includes the external L-C filter, enabling linear frequency response and distortion immunity to passive component tolerances.
It integrates an on-chip PLL for clock generation, dual-domain power supplies (AVdd/DVdd), charge pump for high-side gate drive, and comprehensive diagnostics including clipping detection, thermal warning, offset monitoring, and DC/AC load recognition via I²C-specifically engineered for ASIL-B–aligned automotive audio subsystems.
Key Specifications

| Diagnostic Capability | Integrated DIM (digital impedance meter) reports real-time load value over I²C; detects open/short/load drift for predictive maintenance |
Pinout & Package
LQFP64 (10 mm × 10 mm × 1.4 mm, exposed pad up) package with thermal slug (Pin 49, TAB) for enhanced power dissipation in automotive ambient conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT1+/OUT1− OUT2+/OUT2− OUT3+/OUT3− OUT4+/OUT4− |
Half-bridge output terminals (4 channels) | Direct connection to speaker loads; each pair forms one BTL channel capable of 50 W into 4 Ω |
| FB1+ to FB4− | Channel feedback inputs (8 pins) | Close-loop sensing points placed after output filter; enable distortion cancellation independent of L/C tolerance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-channel Class-D automotive amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TAS5756M (Texas Instruments) |
4-channel, 50 W/channel, but analog input only; no integrated DIM or low-voltage 6 V operation | Requires external ADC and impedance sensing circuitry; unsuitable for start-stop compliance | Select when analog source interface is mandatory and EMI constraints are less stringent |
| MAX98740 (Maxim Integrated) |
Quad Class-D with I²S input and 90 dB SNR; lacks integrated charge pump and DIM functionality | Needs external high-side driver for 4 Ω loads; no real-time load reporting capability | Select for cost-sensitive designs where diagnostic depth is secondary to basic amplification |
Compared with TAS5756M and MAX98740, FDA801B-VYY uniquely combines digital input, 6 V operation, and on-die impedance metering-enabling single-chip compliance with modern OEM audio requirements without supplemental ICs or firmware overhead.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage for FDA801B-VYY, and how does it support start-stop engines?
FDA801B-VYY operates down to 6 V, meeting ISO 16750-2 Pulse 4 cold-cranking requirements. Its internal charge pump and rail-tolerant gate drivers maintain full 50 W output capability even during 6–9 V battery sags, ensuring uninterrupted audio during engine restart cycles without brownout reset or mute glitches.
How does the digital impedance meter (DIM) function, and what data does it report?
DIM performs real-time AC impedance measurement using injected test tones and I²C-readback of magnitude/phase data. It reports nominal load value (e.g., "3.8 Ω"), open-circuit detection, and short-circuit confirmation-enabling automated speaker health monitoring and fault logging without external test equipment.
Can FDA801B-VYY drive 2 Ω loads, and what derating applies?
Yes-FDA801B-VYY supports 2 Ω loads per channel with appropriate thermal management. At 2 Ω, maximum continuous output is 35 W/channel at 15.2 V (THD < 10%), limited by junction temperature rise; recommended heatsink thermal resistance ≤ 2.5 °C/W for sustained operation.
Is FDA801B-VYY pin-compatible with FDA801B-VYT, and what is the difference?
FDA801B-VYY and FDA801B-VYT share identical LQFP64 pinout and electrical specifications. The sole difference is packaging: VYY is supplied in trays (for prototyping and low-volume assembly), while VYT uses tape-and-reel (for automated SMT production). No design or layout changes are required when switching between them.
