Product details
Overview
TDA7267A from STMicroelectronics is a mono Class-AB audio power amplifier in PowerDIP-16 package, delivering 3W into 8Ω at 10% THD with 14.5V supply, fixed 32dB gain, no external feedback capacitor, and integrated thermal/short-circuit protection - used in TV audio output stages.
For engineers reviewing the TDA7267A datasheet, TDA7267A pinout, TDA7267A application, or TDA7267A equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail complementary output swing without bootstrap capacitors, SVR of 50dB at 1kHz, stand-by current of 0.3mA, and PCB copper-area–based heatsinking requirements per Rth j-amb = 70°C/W.
Technical Context
The TDA7267A employs a fully complementary push-pull output stage enabling rail-to-rail voltage swing without bootstrap capacitors, eliminating Boucherot cell and external feedback components. Its internal fixed-gain architecture (32dB typ.) simplifies design for cost-sensitive TV audio systems.
It integrates multiple protection mechanisms: thermal shutdown triggered at Tj = 150°C, AC short-circuit detection on the output, and stand-by mode activated by grounding Pin 3 (Isb = 0.3mA). Supply ripple rejection is enhanced via dedicated SVR pin with external 470µF capacitor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Power | 3W into 8Ω @ THD = 10%, VS = 14.5V - sufficient for compact TV speaker drivers without external heat sink beyond PCB copper area. |
| Voltage Gain | 32dB (typ.) - fixed internal gain eliminates need for external gain-setting resistors, reducing BOM count. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 5–18V - supports standard TV supply rails including 12V and 14.5V nominal operation. |
| THD+N | 0.1–0.3% @ 1W, 1kHz - low distortion ensures acceptable audio fidelity for consumer TV applications. |
| SVR | 50dB @ 150mVrms, 1kHz - suppresses power supply noise coupling into audio path using dedicated SVR pin and bulk capacitor. |
| Stand-by Current | 0.3mA - enables low-power mute state during TV standby, critical for energy compliance (e.g., EU ErP). |
| Input Impedance | 50–100kΩ - compatible with line-level preamp outputs without loading effects. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerDIP-16 (16-pin dual-in-line with 8+8 staggered lead configuration, 2.54mm pitch, 20mm body width), optimized for vertical PCB mounting with board-level copper heatsinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 10–12, 14–16 | P-GND | Power ground terminals - all internally connected; must be tied to large low-impedance PCB copper pour for thermal dissipation and noise control. |
| 3 | STAND-BY | Active-low enable: grounding enters 0.3mA stand-by mode; open or pulled high enables operation. |
| 5 | S-GND | Signal ground - separate from P-GND to minimize ground loop noise in sensitive input path. |
| 8 | IN | Differential-capable single-ended audio input - accepts line-level signal referenced to S-GND. |
| 9 | OUT | Amplified output - drives 8Ω speaker directly; rail-to-rail swing enabled by complementary output stage. |
| 13 | SVR | Supply voltage rejection pin - requires 470µF electrolytic capacitor to GND for improved ripple suppression. |
| VS (Pin 13 not used for VS; supply applied to Pins 11 & 12) | Supply Input | 14.5V nominal applied across P-GND pins (e.g., Pins 11/12) - distributed across multiple pins to reduce current density and thermal stress. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail complementary output | Eliminates need for bootstrap capacitors and enables full supply swing into 8Ω load without dead zone. |
| No external feedback capacitor | Reduces component count and PCB area; internal compensation ensures stability with 8Ω load and typical decoupling. |
| Integrated thermal protection | Shuts down output at 150°C junction temperature and auto-recovers when cooled - prevents permanent damage during overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Low turn-on/off pop | Minimizes audible transients during power-up/down sequences, improving user experience in TV remote-controlled operation. |
| SVR pin with dedicated capacitor | Enables >50dB supply ripple rejection using external 470µF capacitor, isolating audio path from noisy SMPS rails. |
Applications
| TV Audio Output Stage | Set-Top Box Speaker Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving built-in mono speaker in CRT/LCD TVs with 12–14.5V supply and space-constrained PCB layout. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Final-stage mono audio power amplifier with fixed gain and integrated protection. Use Value: Eliminates external feedback and bootstrap components, reduces BOM cost by ≥3 parts, and meets CE/ErP standby power requirements via 0.3mA Isb. | Use Scenario: Amplifying decoded audio from HDMI/SPDIF receivers in compact set-top boxes with limited heatsinking area. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise, low-THD mono output driver interfacing between DAC and 8Ω speaker. Use Value: 0.1–0.3% THD+N at 1W ensures clear voice reproduction; SVR pin rejects switcher noise from shared 12V rail. |
| Monitor Integrated Speaker | Legacy Display Audio Module |
Use Scenario: Adding basic audio playback to VGA/DVI monitors using existing 12V auxiliary supply and minimal PCB real estate. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stand-alone mono amplifier with thermal/short-circuit protection for unattended operation. Use Value: Rail-to-rail output delivers full 3W without external components; P-GND pins support direct copper heatsinking on 2-layer board. | Use Scenario: Retrofitting audio capability into older industrial displays using legacy 14.5V linear supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Drop-in mono amplifier replacement for obsolete audio ICs requiring identical PowerDIP-16 footprint. Use Value: Pin-compatible with TDA7265/TDA7266 family; same thermal pad layout and protection behavior simplifies redesign. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar mono audio amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDA7265 | Higher output power (5W @ 8Ω), wider supply range (±5V to ±22V), dual-channel; requires dual supply and larger heatsink. | Designed for stereo or higher-power mono applications; not pin-compatible due to different pinout and dual-supply requirement. | Select when >3W output or dual-channel operation is needed; avoid for single-supply TV designs. |
| LM386N-1 | Lower power (0.7W), internal gain fixed at 20dB, no SVR pin or thermal shutdown; SOIC-8 package. | Targeted at ultra-low-cost portable audio; lacks protection features and PCB heatsinking capability of PowerDIP-16. | Choose only for battery-powered, non-critical applications where size and cost outweigh reliability and thermal robustness. |
Compared with TDA7267A, TDA7265 offers higher power but demands dual supply and more complex layout, while LM386N-1 sacrifices protection, thermal performance, and ripple rejection for minimal BOM - making TDA7267A optimal for reliable, single-supply TV audio with board-level thermal management.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended PCB copper area for thermal management?
Per ST's thermal data, a 44.4°C/W external thermal resistance is required at 70°C ambient. With Rth j-case = 15°C/W, a PCB copper heatsink area of ≥50 cm² (square layout) is recommended. Use multiple P-GND pins connected to solid inner-layer ground planes and thermal vias to inner ground layers.
Can the TDA7267A operate from a 12V supply?
Yes - the device operates from 5V to 18V. At 12V/8Ω, typical output power is ~2.1W (THD = 10%). Quiescent current drops to ~28mA, reducing thermal load. Ensure SVR capacitor (470µF) and input/output decoupling remain unchanged for stable operation.
Is the TDA7267A still in active production?
No - STMicroelectronics has marked TDA7267A as obsolete (as noted on page 1 of the datasheet). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory and provides extended lifecycle support, including obsolescence mitigation planning and cross-reference assistance for drop-in replacements.
Why does the pinout show multiple P-GND pins but only one S-GND?
The eight P-GND pins handle high-current return paths from the output stage and supply, minimizing IR drop and thermal rise. S-GND (Pin 5) serves only the low-current input and bias circuitry, isolating sensitive analog nodes from power ground noise - essential for achieving <10µV input noise and low THD.
