Product details
Overview
TDA7294HS from STMicroelectronics is a monolithic Class AB audio power amplifier IC in Multiwatt15H package, designed for high-fidelity audio output stages in home stereo, self-powered loudspeakers, and premium TV systems. It delivers up to 100 W music power into 4 Ω or 8 Ω loads, operates from ±40 V supply, features integrated DMOS power stage, and includes independent mute and stand-by functions with CMOS-compatible control inputs.
For engineers reviewing the TDA7294HS datasheet, TDA7294HS pinout, TDA7294HS application, or TDA7294HS equivalent, key selection considerations include its ±40 V operating voltage range, 10 A peak output current capability, 0.005% THD at 5 W/1 kHz, 70 dB typical mute attenuation, and thermal shutdown activation at 145 °C - all critical for robust Hi-Fi amplifier design and thermal management.
Technical Context
The TDA7294HS integrates a DMOS unity-gain output buffer with local linearizing feedback and Miller compensation to minimize crossover distortion and maintain wideband stability. Its dual-supply architecture separates signal and power rails (pins 13/15 for +PWVs, pins 1/7 for ±Vs), enabling high-efficiency bootstrapped operation in enhanced-class-AB configurations.
Protection is implemented via dynamic SOA monitoring combined with local temperature sensing: thermal shutdown initiates muting at 145 °C and full stand-by at 150 °C, while short-circuit protection responds to sustained overcurrent without requiring external Boucherot cells.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | ±10 V to ±40 V - supports wide-rail operation with high PSRR (75 dB @ 100 Hz) for noisy supply environments |
| Output Power (RMS) | 60 W @ ±35 V/8 Ω - continuous power delivery meeting IEC 268-3 music power standards |
| Total Harmonic Distortion | 0.005% @ 5 W/1 kHz - ultra-low distortion enables high-fidelity reproduction without external correction |
| Slew Rate | 7 V/μs (typ.) - ensures faithful transient response for dynamic audio signals up to 20 kHz |
| Mute Attenuation | 60–80 dB - suppresses turn-on/off pop noise and enables silent remote control sequencing |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 145 °C (mute), 150 °C (stand-by) - staged protection prevents latch-up and allows graceful recovery |
| Junction-to-Case Thermal Resistance | 1.5 °C/W - defines minimum heatsink requirement for sustained 60 W output in 70 °C ambient |
Pinout & Package
Multiwatt15H is a 15-pin vertical-mount SIP package with integrated heat sink tab electrically connected to pin 7 (−Vs). The package features staggered lead pitch (2.54 mm), 18.0 mm body length, and 20.2 mm height - optimized for forced-air or chassis-mounted heatsinking in high-power audio modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | −Vs (Power Supply) | Main negative supply rail for power stage; tab connection point for thermal path |
| 2 | IN− (Inverting Input) | Differential input node; referenced to ground or −Vs for single-ended configuration |
| 3 | IN+ (Non-inverting Input) | Primary audio input; high-impedance (100 kΩ) node with ±10 mV offset |
| 4 | VM (Mute Control) | CMOS-compatible mute enable: <1.5 V = muted, >3.5 V = active; 60–80 dB suppression |
| 6 | STBY (Stand-by Control) | CMOS-compatible stand-by enable: <1.5 V = stand-by, >3.5 V = operational; 70–90 dB attenuation |
| 7 | −PWVs (Power Stage −Vs) | Dedicated negative supply for DMOS output stage; isolated from signal −Vs to reduce crosstalk |
| 8 | OUT (Output) | Class AB amplified output; capable of ±10 A peak current into reactive loads |
| 9 | VSTBY (Stand-by Reference) | Reference node for stand-by threshold detection; configurable to GND or −Vs |
| 10 | VMUTE (Mute Reference) | Reference node for mute threshold detection; configurable to GND or −Vs |
| 13 | +PWVs (Power Stage +Vs) | Dedicated positive supply for DMOS output stage; enables bootstrapped high-efficiency mode |
| 14 | +Vs (Signal +Vs) | Positive supply for input and driver stages; decoupled from +PWVs for noise isolation |
| 15 | BOOT− (Bootstrap Return) | Return path for bootstrap capacitor in high-efficiency configurations; ties to +PWVs during swing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DMOS Power Stage | Eliminates second breakdown risk, enabling safe operation into 4 Ω reactive loads without SOA derating |
| No Switch-On/Off Noise | Integrated mute/stand-by sequencing with internal turn-on delay avoids audible transients |
| High Supply Voltage Rejection | 75 dB @ 100 Hz - maintains clean output despite poor regulation in ±40 V supplies |
| Independent Mute & Stand-by | Separate CMOS logic inputs allow flexible system-level power management and remote control |
| Thermal Protection Architecture | Two-stage shutdown (mute → stand-by) preserves signal integrity while preventing junction damage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-power audio amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDA7293V | Same Multiwatt15V package; lower max supply (±35 V); 70 W music power; no dedicated +PWVs/+Vs separation | Limited to ≤60 W RMS into 8 Ω; unsuitable for bootstrapped high-efficiency or bridge configurations | Select when board space requires horizontal-mount package and supply rails stay ≤±35 V |
| LM3886TF | TO-220 package; ±35 V max; 68 W RMS into 8 Ω; no integrated mute/stand-by; requires external thermal foldback | Needs discrete logic for remote control; higher PCB area; lacks TDA7294HS's staged thermal protection | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer audio where mute/stand-by are handled externally |
Compared with TDA7293V and LM3886TF, the TDA7294HS provides superior supply voltage headroom (±40 V), dedicated power/signal rail separation for reduced crosstalk, and integrated dual-mode protection - making it optimal for compact, high-reliability Hi-Fi amplifiers demanding remote controllability and thermal resilience.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output power of the TDA7294HS into 4 Ω?
The TDA7294HS delivers 60 W RMS continuous output power into a 4 Ω load at ±31 V supply, with total harmonic distortion ≤0.1% across 20 Hz–20 kHz. This rating is validated per IEC 268-3 under standard test conditions (Tamb = 25 °C, Rg = 50 Ω), and assumes adequate heatsinking to maintain junction temperature below 145 °C.
Can the TDA7294HS be used in bridge-tied load (BTL) configuration?
Yes - the TDA7294HS supports BTL operation using two identical devices, one configured with inverted input. The datasheet specifies 150 W maximum output into 8 Ω at ±25 V supply in this mode. Critical design requirements include matched external components, synchronized mute/stand-by control, and minimum 8 Ω load impedance to prevent excessive current stress on the DMOS output stage.
How does the thermal shutdown function operate?
The TDA7294HS implements two-stage thermal protection: at 145 °C junction temperature, it activates muting (≥60 dB attenuation) while remaining powered; at 150 °C, it enters full stand-by mode (≥70 dB attenuation) and reduces quiescent current to 1–3 mA. Both thresholds are monitored via on-die temperature sensors, and recovery occurs automatically once junction temperature falls below hysteresis limits (140 °C for mute, 145 °C for stand-by).
Is external compensation required for stability?
No external compensation is required for standard operation. The TDA7294HS incorporates internal Miller compensation optimized for unity-gain stability with capacitive loads up to 100 nF. However, the datasheet recommends adding a 100 nF ceramic capacitor between pins 9 (VSTBY) and 1 (−Vs) when using the stand-by function, and a 100 nF capacitor between pins 10 (VMUTE) and 1 (−Vs) for mute function - both serve as noise filtering, not compensation.
