Product details
Overview
TDA7265B from STMicroelectronics is a Class-AB dual-channel audio power amplifier in Multiwatt11 vertical package, delivering 30 W + 30 W into 8 Ω at 10% THD with ±23 V supply, featuring integrated mute and standby control, thermal shutdown, and short-circuit protection - deployed in stereo TV sets and home entertainment amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the TDA7265B datasheet, TDA7265B pinout, TDA7265B application, or TDA7265B equivalent, key selection considerations include split-supply operation up to ±35 V, mute/standby threshold voltages referenced to +VS, quiescent current behavior vs. pin 5 voltage, and thermal resistance of 1.5 °C/W for heatsink design.
Technical Context
The TDA7265B implements a dual-channel Class-AB output stage with independent input differential pairs per channel, internally limited peak output current (4 A), and thermally protected junction (shutdown at 145 °C). Its mute and standby functions are controlled by analog voltage thresholds on pin 5 referenced to +VS.
It supports both split-supply (±VS) and single-supply configurations, with open-loop gain of 80 dB, slew rate of 11 V/ms, and crosstalk >70 dB at 1 kHz. Input offset voltage is ±20 mV, and total input noise is 4 µV (20 Hz–22 kHz).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Power | 30 W + 30 W @ THD = 10%, RL = 8 Ω, VS = ±23 V - defines maximum usable RMS output before clipping in consumer-grade speakers. |
| THD+N | 0.02% @ Po = 1 W, RL = 8 Ω - ensures low distortion at typical listening levels without external feedback tuning. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±8 V to ±33 V (ABS max ±35 V) - enables flexible rail selection for cost/performance trade-offs in compact enclosures. |
| Mute Attenuation | 75 dB - suppresses turn-on/off transients to prevent audible "pops" in speaker systems. |
| Standby Quiescent Current | 8 mA - reduces system-level standby power consumption in energy-compliant AV equipment. |
| Thermal Resistance | Rth j-case = 1.5 °C/W - determines minimum heatsink requirement for continuous 30 W/channel operation at ambient ≤70 °C. |
| Crosstalk | 70 dB @ 1 kHz - maintains channel separation critical for stereo imaging in home audio applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Multiwatt11 (vertical), thermally enhanced with tab connected to pin 6 (–VS). Requires PCB copper area under tab for heat conduction and mechanical anchoring.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN−(L) | Inverting input for left channel - used with external feedback network to set closed-loop gain ≥29 dB. |
| 2 | IN+(L) | Non-inverting input for left channel - accepts AC-coupled audio signal via 1 µF capacitor; bias set by internal resistor divider. |
| 3 | GND | Analog ground reference - must be star-connected to minimize ground loop noise between channels. |
| 4 | IN−(R) | Inverting input for right channel - independently configurable for balanced gain matching with left channel. |
| 5 | MUTE/St-By | Control input referenced to +VS - voltage thresholds define three states: play (<+VS−6 V), mute (+VS−6 V to +VS−2.5 V), standby (≥+VS−2.5 V). |
| 6 | –VS | Negative supply rail - tab is electrically connected to this pin; requires low-inductance connection to bulk capacitance. |
| 7 | OUT(R) | Right channel output - drives 4–8 Ω speaker load directly; includes internal short-circuit protection. |
| 8 | +VS | Positive supply rail - supplies both channels; decoupling with ≥1000 µF electrolytic + 0.1 µF ceramic required. |
| 9 | OUT(L) | Left channel output - symmetrical to pin 7; layout symmetry minimizes inter-channel crosstalk. |
| 10 | IN+(R) | Non-inverting input for right channel - identical DC bias and AC coupling requirements as pin 2. |
| 11 | –VS (redundant) | Secondary negative supply connection - improves current distribution and thermal path to tab. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No "pop" at turn-on/off | Mute function activated during power sequencing eliminates transient spikes - avoids speaker damage and user annoyance in unattended devices. |
| Split-supply operation up to ±35 V | Enables high-voltage headroom for dynamic peaks in music reproduction without clipping - supports 2×30 W output into 8 Ω. |
| Integrated thermal overload protection | Junction shutdown at 145 °C prevents permanent failure during sustained overload or inadequate heatsinking - self-recovering after cooldown. |
| Pin-to-pin compatibility | Direct replacement for TDA7265, TDA7269A, and TDA7292 - allows reuse of existing PCB layouts and BOMs in legacy designs. |
| Low standby IQ (8 mA) | Reduces system-level standby power to meet EU ErP Lot 6 and ENERGY STAR requirements for AV receivers and smart TVs. |
Applications
| Stereo Home Audio Receiver | Flat-Panel TV Audio Amplifier |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Dual-channel amplification for left/right speakers in compact AV receivers with volume-controlled line-level inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Final power stage delivering 25 W/channel at 1% THD into 8 Ω loads; mute synchronized to microcontroller I/O during channel switching. Use Value: Eliminates external mute relays and discrete thermal protection circuitry - reduces BOM count and board space by 30% versus discrete solutions. |
Use Scenario: Integrated audio output stage in 32–55 inch LCD/LED TVs requiring low-profile heatsinking and EMI-compliant layout.

Use Value: Achieves <100 mW total system standby power via 8 mA IQ and fast mute activation - meets IEC 62301 Ed.2 Class B requirements. |
| Desktop Stereo Speaker System | Multi-room Audio Zone Amplifier |
Use Scenario: Powered desktop speakers with USB DAC input and analog volume control feeding dual TDA7265B channels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output amplifier with DC-blocking input caps and 4.7 Ω stability resistors; thermal foldback prevents overheating in enclosed cabinets. Use Value: Delivers full 30 W/channel into 4 Ω loads with proper heatsinking - enables high-SPL near-field listening without external current boosters. |
Use Scenario: Distributed audio zone amplifier accepting line-level input from matrix switcher and driving ceiling speakers over 100 ft cable runs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High PSRR (75 dB) amplifier rejecting supply noise from shared 24 V DC bus; crosstalk >70 dB preserves stereo separation across zones. Use Value: Maintains 20 Hz–20 kHz frequency response flatness within ±0.5 dB - ensures consistent tonal balance across multiple rooms. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel Class-AB audio amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDA7292 | Higher output power (50 W + 50 W @ THD=10%, 8 Ω), wider supply range (±10 V to ±40 V), but larger thermal footprint (Rth j-case = 1.8 °C/W). | Requires larger heatsink and higher-capacity bulk capacitors; suited for active subwoofers or powered monitors. | Select when >30 W/channel is needed and PCB area allows larger thermal pad; not drop-in due to different pin 5 threshold behavior. |
| LM1875 | Single-channel, TO-220 package, no mute/standby; 20 W @ THD=1%, 8 Ω, ±25 V; lower PSRR (60 dB) and no thermal shutdown. | Needs two ICs and external logic for dual-channel mute/standby - increases component count and layout complexity. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-standby applications where thermal management is handled externally and channel separation is less critical. |
Compared with TDA7265B, TDA7292 offers higher power but demands more thermal margin, while LM1875 lacks integrated control features and requires duplication for stereo - making TDA7265B optimal for space-constrained, feature-complete consumer audio designs.

FAQ
What is the recommended heatsink thermal resistance for continuous 30 W/channel operation?
A heatsink with Rth sink-ambient ≤ 2.5 °C/W is required when ambient temperature reaches 70 °C, calculated using Rth j-case = 1.5 °C/W, Rth case-sink ≈ 0.5 °C/W (with thermal grease), and Pdiss ≈ 22 W per channel at 30 W output. Mounting torque and flatness must comply with Multiwatt11 mechanical specs to avoid thermal derating.
Can the TDA7265B operate from a single 24 V supply?
Yes - the datasheet provides a verified single-supply schematic (Figure 16) using virtual ground at 12 V via resistor divider and 100 µF bypass capacitor. Output power drops to ~15 W + 15 W into 8 Ω due to reduced voltage swing, and THD increases slightly above 1% at full output; mute/standby thresholds scale linearly with VCC.
How does the mute function differ from standby in terms of power consumption and output state?
In mute mode (pin 5 = +VS − 4 V), output stages remain biased but attenuated by 75 dB - quiescent current stays at ~130 mA. In standby (pin 5 ≥ +VS − 2.5 V), final-stage current generators disable completely, reducing total IQ to 8 mA and forcing outputs to high-impedance - no DC offset or leakage current flows to speakers.
Is the TDA7265B suitable for driving 4 Ω speakers?
Yes - it delivers 40 W + 40 W at THD = 10% into 4 Ω with ±23 V supply, but requires strict adherence to thermal limits: Rth sink-ambient ≤ 1.8 °C/W, ≥2000 µF bulk capacitance per rail, and 4.7 Ω stability resistors. Derating to 25 W/channel is recommended for continuous operation to maintain <1% THD and avoid thermal foldback.
