Product details
Overview
TDA7376PDTR from STMicroelectronics is a dual-channel bridge-tied-load (BTL) audio power amplifier in PowerSO36 package, designed for automotive radio and booster applications. It delivers 2 × 35 W into 4 Ω at 14.4 V/1 kHz/10% THD (EIAJ), supports 2 Ω loads, features differential inputs, internally fixed 26 dB gain, and integrated clipping detection with programmable THD threshold.
For engineers reviewing the TDA7376PDTR datasheet, TDA7376PDTR pinout, TDA7376PDTR application, or TDA7376PDTR equivalent, key selection considerations include rail-to-rail output swing without bootstrap capacitors, CMOS-compatible mute/standby control, soft thermal limiting, load-dump protection, and open-ground fault immunity in 12 V automotive supply environments.
Technical Context
The device uses a fully complementary PNP/NPN output stage enabling true rail-to-rail voltage swing and eliminating external bootstrap components. Its differential input pairs accept both single-ended and differential signals, delivering ≥60 dB common-mode rejection ratio and ≥80 dB crosstalk suppression at 1 kHz.
On-chip protections include short-circuit detection (out-to-ground, out-to-supply, across-load), junction temperature monitoring with soft thermal limiter, loudspeaker DC current blocking, and ESD tolerance per IEC 61000-4-2. The programmable distortion detector provides open-collector output (DDOUT) sinking ≥1 mA when THD exceeds user-set threshold via THDSET pin voltage divider.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Output Power | 2 × 35 W @ 4 Ω, 14.4 V, 1 kHz, 10% THD (EIAJ compliant) |
| Supply Voltage Range | 8–18 V DC - compatible with automotive battery transients up to 50 V peak (50 ms) |
| Gain | 26 dB fixed - eliminates external feedback network and gain-setting resistors |
| THD+N | 0.03% typ. @ 1 W, 4 Ω - enables high-fidelity audio reproduction in compact car radios |

| ST-BY (pin 5) | CMOS-compatible standby control | De-biases amplifiers; reduces quiescent current to ≤20 µA for ignition-off power savings |
| THDSET (pin 11) | Clipping detector threshold setting | Voltage divider sets THD limit (3.5–10%); triggers DDOUT (pin 10) sink current ≥1 mA |
| CD-OUT / DDOUT (pin 10) | Open-collector distortion indicator | Sinks current when output clips; drives external LED or microcontroller interrupt |
| TAB (pin 1) | Exposed thermal slug | Must be soldered to large copper pour for thermal conduction; electrically connected to PWGND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Eliminates need for bootstrap capacitors, reducing BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained head units |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel automotive audio amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDA7377 | Higher output: 2 × 45 W @ 4 Ω; requires larger heatsink; same PowerSO36 footprint | Used in premium head units requiring louder acoustic output; higher quiescent current (250 mA vs. 200 mA) | Select when >35 W/channel is required and thermal margin allows increased dissipation |
| TPA3116D2 | Class-D topology; 2 × 50 W @ 4 Ω; efficiency >90%; requires external LC filter | Preferred for battery-powered portable audio or extended runtime; generates less heat but adds filter BOM | Select when system-level efficiency >85% is mandatory and board space permits filter components |
Compared with TDA7376PDTR, TDA7377 offers higher power at the cost of thermal density, while TPA3116D2 trades analog simplicity for digital efficiency-making TDA7376PDTR optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained Class-AB automotive designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe operating supply voltage for TDA7376PDTR?
The absolute maximum DC supply voltage is 28 V, and it withstands 50 V peak transients for up to 50 ms per ISO 7637-2. For continuous operation, ST specifies 8–18 V; exceeding 18 V risks accelerated thermal degradation even if within absolute max ratings.
Does TDA7376PDTR require external bootstrap capacitors?
No. Its fully complementary PNP/NPN output stage enables rail-to-rail voltage swing without bootstrap capacitors. This reduces component count, PCB area, and potential failure points in high-vibration automotive environments.
How does the automute function respond during engine cranking?
Automute activates when supply voltage falls below 8 V, suppressing output before distortion becomes audible. This occurs during engine cranking (typically 6–9 V), preventing harsh noise from reaching speakers and meeting OEM audio quality standards.
Can TDA7376PDTR drive 2 Ω speakers reliably?
Yes. It is rated for 2 × 25 W into 2 Ω at 14.4 V/1 kHz/10% THD and includes short-circuit protection covering out-to-ground, out-to-supply, and across-load faults - enabling safe operation with low-impedance high-sensitivity speakers.
