Product details
Overview
TDA7292 from STMicroelectronics is a Class-AB dual-channel audio power amplifier in Multiwatt11 package, delivering 40 W + 40 W into 8 Ω at ±26 V with 10% THD. It integrates mute and standby functions, features split-supply operation up to ±33 V, and provides thermal/short-circuit protection-designed for stereo TV sets and hi-fi music centers.
For engineers reviewing the TDA7292 datasheet, TDA7292 pinout, TDA7292 application, or TDA7292 equivalent, key selection considerations include dual-rail supply compatibility, mute/standby voltage thresholds on Pin 5, output power vs. supply voltage curves, and thermal resistance (Rth j-case = 1.5 °C/W) for heatsink sizing.
Technical Context
The TDA7292 uses a fully differential input stage with internal biasing, supporting both dual-supply (±8 V to ±33 V) and single-supply configurations via external DC offset networks. Its open-loop gain is 80 dB and slew rate is 11 V/ms, enabling stable 20 Hz–20 kHz audio bandwidth with <0.02% THD at 1 W output.
Mute and standby are controlled by a single pin (Pin 5), referenced to +VS: mute activates at +VS − 6.0 V to +VS − 2.5 V (75 dB attenuation), standby engages below +VS − 2.5 V (110 dB attenuation, Iq = 8 mA). Thermal shutdown triggers at 145 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Power | 40 W + 40 W into 8 Ω @ ±26 V, 10% THD - sufficient for full-range stereo speakers without external boost stages |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±8 V to ±33 V - supports wide rail flexibility for legacy and high-performance audio systems |
| THD+N | 0.02% @ 1 W, 1 kHz - low distortion preserves midrange clarity and vocal fidelity |
| Crosstalk | 70 dB @ 1 kHz - ensures channel separation critical for stereo imaging |
| Input Resistance | 20 kΩ - compatible with standard line-level preamp outputs without loading |
| Quiescent Current | 50–130 mA @ ±26 V - enables efficient idle power management before mute/standby activation |
| Thermal Resistance | Rth j-case = 1.5 °C/W - defines minimum heatsink requirement for continuous 40 W/channel operation |
Pinout & Package
The TDA7292 is housed in a vertical 11-pin Multiwatt package with exposed metal tab (connected to Pin 6, −VS) for thermal conduction. The package meets ECOPACK® environmental compliance standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN−(L) | Inverting input for left channel - used with external feedback network to set closed-loop gain |
| 2 | IN+(L) | Non-inverting input for left channel - accepts AC-coupled line-level signal via 1 μF capacitor |
| 3 | GND | Analog ground reference - must be star-connected to minimize ground loop noise |
| 4 | IN−(R) | Inverting input for right channel - independently configurable for balanced or unbalanced topology |
| 5 | MUTE/STANDBY | Control input referenced to +VS - voltage thresholds determine mute (75 dB) or standby (110 dB, 8 mA Iq) state |
| 6 | −VS | Negative supply rail - tab connection requires low-thermal-resistance mounting to heatsink |
| 7 | OUT(R) | Right channel output - drives speaker load directly; requires 100 nF stability capacitor to ground |
| 8 | +VS | Positive supply rail - decoupled with 1000 μF + 100 nF capacitors to suppress rail bounce |
| 9 | OUT(L) | Left channel output - symmetrical layout with OUT(R); PCB trace length matching recommended |
| 10 | IN+(R) | Non-inverting input for right channel - identical electrical behavior to IN+(L) |
| 11 | −VS (Tab) | Thermal pad / electrical connection to Pin 6 - mandatory mechanical attachment to heatsink for thermal safety |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No "pop" at turn-on/off | Internal soft-start circuit eliminates transient voltage spikes during power sequencing - prevents speaker thump in consumer AV systems |
| Split-supply operation | Supports true bipolar rails up to ±33 V - enables high-voltage headroom for dynamic audio peaks without clipping |
| Mute function | 75 dB attenuation with <10 µs response time - allows seamless source switching without audible artifacts |
| Standby mode | Reduces quiescent current to 8 mA while retaining fast wake-up - ideal for energy-conscious smart TVs and streaming devices |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown (145 °C), short-circuit limiting (5 A peak), and SOA monitoring - eliminates need for external fault-handling circuitry |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDA7265 | Lower max supply (±26 V), 30 W + 30 W @ 8 Ω, no dedicated mute pin (requires external logic) | Targeted at cost-sensitive stereo receivers with simpler control requirements | Select when supply rails ≤ ±26 V and mute functionality can be implemented externally |
| LM4780 | Higher THD (0.1% @ 1 W), no integrated standby, requires external thermal shutdown circuitry | Suitable for DIY audio kits where discrete protection and tuning are preferred | Choose only if design permits manual thermal management and higher distortion is acceptable |
Compared with TDA7292, TDA7265 offers lower power and simplified control at reduced BOM cost, while LM4780 trades integration for greater external configurability-neither matches the TDA7292's combined mute/standby precision, thermal robustness, and 40 W/channel capability at ±33 V.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for rated 40 W output?
The TDA7292 achieves 40 W + 40 W into 8 Ω only at ±26 V supply with 10% THD. At ±18 V, maximum output drops to 31 W into 4 Ω. Operation below ±8 V is outside absolute maximum ratings and will not sustain functional amplification.
How does the MUTE/STANDBY pin (Pin 5) interface with microcontroller GPIO?
Pin 5 is voltage-referenced to +VS, not ground. To assert mute, drive it to +VS − 4.5 V (midpoint of −6 V to −2.5 V range); for standby, drive below +VS − 2.5 V. A level-shifting resistor divider from 3.3 V GPIO is required-direct 0–3.3 V logic connection will not activate either mode.
Can the TDA7292 be used in bridged-tied-load (BTL) configuration?
No. The TDA7292 is strictly a dual-channel amplifier with independent output stages referenced to −VS. It lacks internal BTL control logic or complementary output pairs. Each channel must drive a grounded speaker load or transformer-coupled output.
What is the recommended heatsink thermal resistance for continuous 40 W/channel operation?
With Rth j-case = 1.5 °C/W and max junction temperature of 145 °C, ambient at 50 °C, and case-to-heatsink interface resistance of 0.5 °C/W, the heatsink must have Rth sink-ambient ≤ 2.7 °C/W to maintain safe junction temperature under full load.
