Product details
Overview
STA50613TR from STMicroelectronics is a monolithic quad half-bridge power stage in Multipower BCD technology, configured as dual H-bridge or reconfigurable single BTL bridge delivering up to 80W @ 36V/8Ω or 120W peak @ 32V/4Ω. It features 200mΩ RDS(on) complementary DMOS outputs, CMOS-compatible logic inputs, thermal warning (TH_WAR), fault reporting (FAULT), and under-voltage lockout - designed for stereo DDX™ all-digital audio amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the STA50613TR datasheet, STA50613TR pinout, STA50613TR application, or STA50613TR equivalent, this device supports dual-BTL, single-BTL, and binary half-bridge modes with configurable logic thresholds, dead-time control, and integrated protection for high-efficiency Class-D audio output stages.
Technical Context
The STA50613TR implements dual independent H-bridge channels with configurable operation modes: dual BTL (stereo), single BTL (mono, doubled current via CONFIG pin tie to VDD), or binary half-bridge. Each channel accepts two logic-level inputs (INxA/INxB) referenced to VL (2.7–5.0V), enabling DDX® ternary modulation or binary PWM decoding.
Protection architecture includes thermal shutdown at 150°C (with 25°C hysteresis), thermal warning at 130°C (open-drain TH_WAR), short-circuit detection with 4–8A current limiting, and undervoltage lockout at 7V. All power MOSFETs are disabled during PWRDN or TRI-STATE assertion, forcing Hi-Z output state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RDS(on) | 200 mΩ typical - enables low conduction loss in high-current audio output stage |
| Output Power | 60 + 60W @ 32V/8Ω (dual BTL), 80W @ 36V/8Ω (single BTL) - meets THD = 10% spec |
| Supply Voltage | 10–36 V DC on VCC pins - supports wide-range audio supply rails with 40V absolute max rating |
| Logic Threshold | VIN-H = VL/2 + 300mV, VIN-L = VL/2 − 300mV - ensures noise-immune interface with variable VL reference |
| Thermal Warning | Active-low TH_WAR at 130°C junction - provides early overtemperature alert before shutdown |
| Dead Time | 10–20 ns static / 50 ns dynamic - prevents shoot-through while maintaining fast switching |
| Package Thermal RθJC | 1.5 °C/W - enables high-power dissipation (50W at Tcase = 70°C) with external heatsink |
Pinout & Package
STA50613TR uses PowerSO36 package with exposed thermal slug (top-side) for direct heatsink mounting. All duplicate power, ground, and output pins must be connected in parallel for proper current sharing and thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19, 20, 31, 32 | GND-SUB, GND-Clean, GND-Reg, IN2A, IN2B | Substrate ground, logic ground isolation, regulator reference, and channel 2 inputs - require separate routing to minimize noise coupling |
| 2–3, 8–9, 10–11, 16–17 | OUT2B, OUT2A, OUT1B, OUT1A | Four half-bridge outputs - paired per channel (e.g., OUT1A/OUT1B form H-bridge); must be paralleled in single-BTL mode |
| 4, 7, 12, 15, 36 | VCC2B, VCC2A, VCC1B, VCC1A, VCCSign | Dedicated positive supplies per half-bridge quadrant - decoupling required at each pin to suppress switching noise |
| 5–6, 13–14, 33–34 | GND2B, GND2A, GND1B, GND1A, VSS | Negative supply returns - low-inductance connection essential for EMI control and gate drive stability |
| 21–22, 23, 24–28, 29–30 | VDD, VL, CONFIG, PWRDN, TRI-STATE, FAULT, TH_WAR, IN1A, IN1B | 5V regulator output, logic reference voltage, configuration select, standby control, Hi-Z enable, fault indicator, thermal warning, and channel 1 inputs - define operational mode and safety behavior |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual configurable H-bridge topology | Supports stereo dual-BTL, mono single-BTL (via CONFIG pin), or binary half-bridge - enables flexible system-level power scaling |
| Integrated protection suite | Thermal warning (130°C), shutdown (150°C), short-circuit current limit (4–8A), and UVLO (7V) - eliminates need for external fault management circuitry |
| Low RDS(on) DMOS outputs | 200 mΩ typical per FET - reduces conduction loss and improves efficiency in high-current audio applications |
| CMOS-compatible logic interface | VL-referenced inputs with ±300mV hysteresis - ensures robust timing margin against supply and layout noise |
| Programmable dead time | 10–20 ns static / 50 ns dynamic - balances shoot-through prevention with minimal distortion in high-frequency PWM |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad half-bridge audio power stage applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TAS5630PHDR | Higher RDS(on) (300mΩ), no thermal warning pin, fixed 32V max VCC | Lacks TH_WAR and CONFIG-based reconfiguration - requires external thermal monitoring and fixed topology | Prefer when board space is constrained and thermal headroom is ample; not suitable for adaptive BTL operation. |
| IRS2092SPBF | Discrete gate driver + external MOSFETs; no integrated protection or regulation | Requires external current sensing, thermal sensor, and 5V regulator - increases BOM count and layout complexity | Choose only when maximum flexibility in MOSFET selection and custom protection tuning is required. |
Compared with TAS5630PHDR and IRS2092SPBF, STA50613TR integrates thermal warning, reconfigurable topology, and matched low-RDS(on) outputs - reducing system-level design effort and component count for mid-power Class-D amplifiers.

FAQ
What is the function of the CONFIG pin on STA50613TR?
The CONFIG pin (Pin 24) selects operating mode: grounded for standard dual-BTL stereo operation; tied to VDD (Pins 21/22) to configure the device as a single high-current BTL bridge (OUT1A=OUT1B, OUT2A=OUT2B). This doubles output current capability for mono applications like subwoofers or PA systems.
How does the thermal warning (TH_WAR) pin behave under overload conditions?
TH_WAR is an open-drain output that pulls low when junction temperature reaches 130°C, providing early warning before thermal shutdown at 150°C. It requires an external pull-up resistor and can trigger MCU interrupts or fan control - enabling proactive thermal management without system interruption.
Can STA50613TR operate with a 5V logic supply while using 32V for VCC?
Yes. The VL pin (Pin 23) sets logic threshold voltage (2.7–5.0V), independent of VCC (10–36V). With VL = 3.3V, input high level is ≥2.0V and low level ≤1.0V - ensuring reliable interface with 3.3V MCUs even when VCC = 32V, provided proper isolation between logic and power grounds.
What is the minimum recommended output filter inductance for 8Ω loads?
Per Figure 1, the recommended output filter uses 22µH inductors (L18/L19) with 100nF–1µF film/ceramic capacitors for 8Ω loads. Lower inductance risks excessive switching current ripple and EMI; higher values increase size and reduce bandwidth - 22µH balances THD+N performance and physical footprint.
