Product details
Overview
TDA7391PDUTR from STMicroelectronics is a 32 W bridge-type Class AB audio power amplifier in PowerSO20 (slug-up) package, designed for high-power car radio applications. It delivers 32 W into 3.2 Ω at 14.4 V with 10% THD, features differential/single-ended inputs, fixed 30 dB gain, and integrated clipping detection. Used as main output stage in automotive head units requiring robust thermal protection and pop-free mute/standby.
For engineers reviewing the TDA7391PDUTR datasheet, TDA7391PDUTR pinout, TDA7391PDUTR application, or TDA7391PDUTR equivalent, key selection criteria include bridge-mode output power into low-impedance loads (3.2–4 Ω), rail-to-rail swing without bootstrap capacitors, programmable turn-on/off delay via external RC, and diagnostic clipping detection output.
Technical Context
The TDA7391PDUTR implements a fully complementary PNP/NPN bridge output stage enabling 32 W into 3.2 Ω without bootstrap capacitors or Boucherot cells. Its internal fixed 30 dB gain and differential input architecture support both single-ended and balanced signal sources while maintaining ≥65 dB CMRR at 1 kHz.
Thermal protection triggers at 160 °C junction temperature, and short-circuit protection covers faults to GND, VS, and across the load. The open-collector CD pin asserts low during ≥10% output clipping, enabling external gain compression control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Power | 32 W @ 3.2 Ω, 14.4 V, 1 kHz, 10% THD - sufficient for mid-bass drivers in compact automotive head units |

| Gain | 30 dB (fixed) - eliminates external feedback network and gain-setting resistors |
| Input Impedance | 36–60 kΩ (differential), 30–55 kΩ (single-ended) - minimizes loading on preamp stages |
| Clipping Detection | CD pin asserts low at ≥10% THD - enables real-time distortion monitoring and automatic gain reduction |
| Standby Current | ≤100 µA - meets automotive infotainment low-power sleep requirements |
| Thermal Resistance | 2 °C/W (junction-to-case) - supports high-power operation with slug-up heatsink interface |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerSO20 (slug-up) - thermally enhanced 20-pin surface-mount package with exposed metal slug on top side for direct heatsink mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 10, 11, 20 | GND | Power ground return paths; multiple pins reduce impedance and improve thermal conduction |
| 2, 19 | OUTPUTS | Bridge outputs driving speaker load differentially; rail-to-rail swing without bootstrap caps |
| 4 | STAND-BY | CMOS-compatible digital input; low = full shutdown (≤100 µA), high = active mode |
| 5, 16 | +VS | Main supply inputs; dual pins reduce IR drop and enhance current handling |
| 8 | SYNC | RC programming pin for turn-on/off delay timing; connects to R2 to set bias ramp rate |
| 9 | MUTE | Capacitor connection point (C3 to GND) setting mute/standby transition time |
| 12 | S-GND | Signal ground reference for input stage; isolated from power GND to minimize noise coupling |
| 14, 15 | INPUTS | Differential input pair; accepts single-ended signals with matched input impedances |
| 17 | CD | Open-collector clipping detector output; low during ≥10% THD for system-level distortion response |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bridge-mode automotive audio amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDA7388 | 4×41 W quad-channel vs. TDA7391PDUTR's 1×32 W single-channel; higher channel count but lower per-channel thermal margin | Targeted at multi-speaker systems requiring independent channel control; not suitable for high-power mono subwoofer drive | Select when system requires ≥4 amplified channels with shared heatsink; avoid for single-channel >30 W demand |
| STA516B | Digital input (I²S), Class D efficiency (~85%) vs. Class AB linearity; no analog input pins or clipping detection output | Designed for DSP-based architectures with digital audio buses; lacks analog diagnostic features like CD pin | Select for battery-sensitive designs needing >80% efficiency; avoid when analog diagnostics or legacy preamp compatibility required |
Compared with TDA7391PDUTR, TDA7388 offers channel density at the cost of per-channel thermal headroom, while STA516B trades analog flexibility and built-in diagnostics for Class D efficiency-making TDA7391PDUTR optimal for high-fidelity mono boost stages where analog integration and fault visibility are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe supply voltage for continuous operation?
The TDA7391PDUTR has an absolute maximum DC supply voltage of 28 V, but its recommended operating supply voltage range is 8–18 V. Continuous operation above 18 V risks exceeding thermal limits and triggering shutdown, even if within absolute max ratings. For automotive use, it is rated for load dump transients up to 50 V for 50 ms, handled by internal protection circuitry-not sustained operation.
Does the TDA7391PDUTR require external compensation capacitors?
No external compensation capacitors are required. The device uses an internally compensated design with fixed 30 dB gain and stable operation into 3.2 Ω loads. The absence of SVR capacitors, bootstrap capacitors, and Boucherot cells is explicitly stated in the datasheet as a key feature-enabling minimal external component count and simplified layout.
How does the clipping detection (CD) pin function in practice?
The CD pin is an open-collector output that pulls low when output distortion reaches or exceeds 10% THD. It remains high otherwise. This allows direct connection to a microcontroller GPIO or comparator to trigger automatic gain reduction, LED indicators, or system-level diagnostics-without external sensing circuitry. The threshold is factory-trimmed and does not require calibration.
Can the TDA7391PDUTR drive 2 Ω loads?
No-the datasheet specifies guaranteed operation only down to 3.2 Ω (EIAJ-compliant) and 4 Ω. Driving 2 Ω loads exceeds safe current limits (4.5 A repetitive peak), risks thermal shutdown, and voids specified performance (e.g., distortion, power). ST does not characterize or guarantee functionality below 3.2 Ω, and doing so may cause premature failure under sustained conditions.
