Product details
Overview
FDA801-VYT 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 (supporting 44.1–192 kHz sampling), and full I²C diagnostics including DC/AC load detection and clipping monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the FDA801-VYT datasheet, FDA801-VYT pinout, FDA801-VYT application, or FDA801-VYT equivalent, this device is selected for high-efficiency, low-EMI, low-voltage (6 V) automotive amplifiers requiring precise fault diagnostics, EMI-compliant single-DIN integration, and digital-input-based thermal/overcurrent protection.
Technical Context
The FDA801 employs BCD process technology to integrate four independent Class-D half-bridge channels with embedded 24-bit DACs, digital interpolation, noise shaping, and feedback loops that include the external L-C filter-enabling linearity and distortion immunity regardless of passive component tolerance. Its PLL-based clock generation supports asynchronous I²S/TDM inputs up to 192 kHz.
Each channel features independent enable/mute control, tristate output capability, and dedicated current generators for offset and clipping detection. The device implements low-radiation function (LRF), AM-band EMI suppression per IEC61967-4/IEC62132-4, and operates down to 6 V for start-stop engine compatibility.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Power | 4 × 50 W @ 4 Ω, 15.2 V, 1 kHz - delivers full-range audio power in compact automotive head units without heatsink oversizing. |
| D/A Resolution & SNR | 24-bit / 110 dB SNR, 108 dB dynamic range - enables high-fidelity playback with minimal quantization noise in digital audio chains. |
| Digital Input Support | I²S and TDM, 3.3/1.8 V logic, 44.1–192 kHz sampling - interoperates with modern SoCs and DSPs without level-shifting or resampling. |
| Efficiency | 93% typical at rated load - reduces thermal load and power supply demand in space-constrained 12 V automotive environments. |
| EMI Compliance | Evaluated per IEC61967-4 (conducted) and IEC62132-4 (radiated) - certified for co-location with AM tuners in single-DIN enclosures. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 6 V to 18 V - supports start-stop vehicle architectures and brown-out resilience during cranking transients. |
| Diagnostic Coverage | I²C-accessible overcurrent, thermal warning, offset, and clipping detection - enables real-time system health monitoring without external sensors. |
Pinout & Package
LQFP64 (10 × 10 × 1.4 mm, exposed pad up) package with thermal slug (Pin 49, TAB) for enhanced power dissipation in automotive under-hood ambient conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT1+/OUT1−, OUT2+/OUT2−, etc. | Half-bridge output terminals (4 channels) | Direct connection to speaker loads; each pair forms one bridged Class-D channel with internal gate drivers. |
| FB1+/FB1−, FB2+/FB2−, etc. | Channel-specific feedback inputs | Close-loop control includes external LC filter in signal path-reducing sensitivity to inductor/capacitor nonlinearity. |
| ENABLE 1–3 | Per-channel enable control | Independent hardware gating of output stage; allows dynamic channel disabling for power management or fault isolation. |
| I2Cclk / I2Cdata | I²C interface pins | Support 3.3/1.8 V operation; enable configuration, diagnostics readback, and real-time status reporting (e.g., load detection). |
| CD/Diag | Open-drain diagnostic output | Asserts on overcurrent, thermal warning, or offset fault-supports wired-OR fault bus for multi-device monitoring. |
| TAB (Pin 49) | Exposed thermal pad | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal conduction; critical for maintaining <115°C junction temp at full 4×50 W output. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 24-bit DAC + noise shaper | Eliminates external DAC and analog routing; achieves 110 dB SNR while reducing board area and EMI susceptibility. |
| Feedback-inclusive LC filter topology | Enables use of low-cost, low-tolerance inductors/capacitors without compromising THD+N or frequency response flatness. |
| Low Radiation Function (LRF) | Reduces radiated emissions in AM band (530–1710 kHz); permits direct placement adjacent to tuner modules in DIN head units. |
| I²C-driven diagnostics suite | Provides programmable thresholds and real-time readback for clipping, offset, thermal, and load faults-no external ADC or comparator needed. |
| 6 V minimum operating voltage | Ensures uninterrupted audio playback during engine cranking (typ. 6–8 V) and start-stop cycles-meets OEM LV124 requirements. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TAS5634RHBR | 4 × 50 W, 192 kHz I²S, but no integrated DAC; requires external 24-bit DAC and analog input interface. | Lacks on-chip diagnostics (no clipping/offset detection); relies on external monitoring circuitry. | Preferred when system already includes high-performance external DAC and diagnostics are handled at MCU level. |
| MAX9776AEE+T | 4 × 30 W, 96 kHz max, analog input only; no digital interface or I²C diagnostics. | Requires full analog signal chain; no support for start-stop voltage or AM-band EMI compliance. | Suitable only for legacy analog designs where digital integration and low-voltage operation are not required. |
Compared with TAS5634RHBR and MAX9776AEE+T, FDA801-VYT uniquely integrates DAC, diagnostics, and EMI-optimized Class-D in one LQFP64 package-reducing BOM count by ≥7 components and enabling single-DIN AM-compatible deployment without redesign.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage for FDA801-VYT operation?
FDA801-VYT operates down to 6 V, enabling reliable audio playback during engine cranking and start-stop cycles. This specification complies with automotive LV124 requirements and eliminates need for auxiliary boost circuits in 12 V systems.
Does FDA801-VYT require external LC filters for EMI compliance?
Yes-external LC low-pass filters are required on each output, but FDA801-VYT's feedback architecture includes those filters in the control loop, allowing use of cost-effective, ±20% tolerance inductors and capacitors without degrading THD+N or stability.
How does the CD/Diag pin function during fault conditions?
The CD/Diag pin is an open-drain output that pulls low during overcurrent, thermal warning (>150°C), output offset >±100 mV, or clipping detection. It supports wired-OR connection across multiple FDA801 devices for centralized fault monitoring without additional logic.
Can FDA801-VYT drive 2 Ω loads?
Yes-FDA801-VYT supports 2 Ω loads per channel with appropriate thermal derating. At 14.4 V, it delivers 28 W at 10% THD into 4 Ω; driving 2 Ω requires PCB copper area optimization and airflow validation to maintain junction temperature below 115°C.
