Product details
Overview
TDA7433D013TR from STMicroelectronics is a bipolar/CMOS audio processor IC for car radio and Hi-Fi systems, featuring dual stereo + mono input selection, I²C-programmable volume (–79 to +32 dB in 1 dB steps), bass/treble control (±18 dB / ±14 dB in 2 dB steps), and four independent speaker attenuators (0 to –37.5 dB) with hardware/software mute. It operates from 7–10.2 V supply and delivers 102 dB signal-to-noise ratio.
For engineers reviewing the TDA7433D013TR datasheet, TDA7433D013TR pinout, TDA7433D013TR application, or TDA7433D013TR equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C-controlled multi-channel attenuation resolution, integrated mute logic with AM pin fallback, THD < 0.15%, and SO20 thermal resistance (150 °C/W) for automotive-grade thermal management.
Technical Context
The TDA7433D013TR implements analog signal conditioning via resistor networks and op-amps under digital I²C supervision, supporting simultaneous left/right balance, bass/treble shelving filters with external RC tuning, and independent fader/balance control across four speaker outputs. Its input selector handles IN1_L/R, IN2_L/R, and mono AM input with DC bias at 3 V.
Hardware mute is activated by grounding the AM pin when not selected-forcing reference voltage injection into the mux-while software mute is executed via I²C register writes. All gain, tone, and attenuation functions are latched and retain state after power-up reset, requiring no external configuration memory.
Key Specifications

| Bass/Treble Range | ±18 dB / ±14 dB in 2 dB steps - allows loudness compensation and tonal tailoring per listening environment |
| Speaker Attenuation | 0 to –37.5 dB per channel - implements fader (front/rear) and balance (left/right) in 4-speaker systems |

Pinout & Package
Package: SO20 (Small Outline, 20-pin, 0.65 mm pitch, 12.6 × 7.6 mm body, 150 °C/W junction-to-pins thermal resistance).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (BINL) | Left Channel Input 1 | Differential-capable analog input for first stereo source, DC-biased to 3 V internally |
| 2 (BOUTL) | Left Channel Output | Low-distortion push-pull output capable of driving 3 kΩ load directly |
| 3 (TRL) | Left Treble Filter Node | Connects external capacitor to set treble corner frequency with internal 50 kΩ resistor |

| 7 (MONO IN/MUTE) | AM Mono Input / Hardware Mute | Pulling low mutes all inputs when AM not selected-no I²C required for emergency mute |
| 8 (VS) | Positive Supply | Accepts 7–10.2 V; internal regulators derive bias rails for analog and digital sections |
| 9 (GND) | Analog/Digital Ground | Single ground pin-requires star-point layout to minimize crosstalk between analog and I²C domains |
| 10 (CREF) | Reference Capacitor | 100 nF decoupling to stabilize internal 3 V reference used for input biasing and DAC references |

| 17–20 (OUT_LF/OUT_LR/OUT_RF/OUT_RR) | Final Speaker Driver Outputs | Push-pull stage outputs; each rated for 2.5 Vrms clipping into 3 kΩ, 100 Ω output impedance |
Key Features

| 100 dB channel separation | Minimizes crosstalk between stereo channels at 1 kHz-essential for spatial audio fidelity |
Applications
| Car Radio Head Unit | Aftermarket Hi-Fi Preamp |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Integrated audio processor in OEM dashboard radios managing tuner, CD, and auxiliary inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Central analog signal router and tone controller-handles input selection, volume ramping, and speaker-level fader logic.

| Multi-Zone Automotive Audio | Compact Stereo Receiver |
Use Scenario: Zone-controlled cabin audio system delivering independent content to driver, front passenger, and rear seats.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone audio processor-uses hardware mute (AM pin) and I²C for remote control, bypassing full embedded host. Use Value: Reduces PCB area by 35% vs. discrete solution; maintains 0.05% THD at 1 Vrms while operating from single 9 V rail. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar audio processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDA7439D013TR | Same SO20 package, adds stereo headphone driver and enhanced bass EQ algorithm; higher supply current (12 mA typ.) | Targeted at systems requiring direct headphone output without external buffer; less suitable for pure 4-speaker fader use | Select when headphone drive capability and extended bass shaping are required; verify thermal derating at 12 mA |
| CS4272-CQZ | 24-bit stereo DAC + analog mixer in QFN32; requires external microcontroller for I²S/I²C bridge; no hardware mute pin | Designed for digital-source-centric systems (e.g., Bluetooth audio receivers); lacks AM pin fallback mute | Prefer for designs with existing I²S infrastructure and no need for fail-safe hardware mute; accept added firmware complexity |
Compared with TDA7439D013TR and CS4272-CQZ, the TDA7433D013TR offers optimal trade-off for analog-input-dominant automotive systems: minimal external components, deterministic hardware mute, and proven SO20 thermal performance at 8 mA supply current-without requiring DAC or digital audio interface support.

FAQ
What is the function of the AM pin (Pin 7) beyond mono input?
Pin 7 serves dual purpose: as mono input when selected via I²C, or as hardware mute trigger when grounded while AM is deselected. In mute mode, the input multiplexer routes internal 3 V reference instead of signal-ensuring zero output without software intervention. External 20 kΩ series resistor is required if AM output isn't high-impedance in this state.
Can the TDA7433D013TR drive speakers directly?
No-it drives line-level loads only. Each speaker output (e.g., OUT_LF) has 100 Ω output impedance and is rated for 3 kΩ minimum AC-coupled load. Direct speaker connection would cause severe damping loss and distortion; it must feed external power amplifiers or active speaker modules with appropriate input impedance.
How does bass/treble control interact with external components?
Bass response is shaped by external RC network connected to TRL/TRR pins; treble uses capacitor on TRL/TRR with internal 50 kΩ resistor. ST provides simulation software to model filter responses for different RC values-enabling custom shelf slopes and corner frequencies without changing IC firmware.
Is the TDA7433D013TR still in production despite "Obsolete" labels in documentation?
Yes-though some ST documentation pages mark it "obsolete," TDA7433D013TR remains actively manufactured and stocked by ST-authorized distributors including Avnet and Arrow. Aetrix Electronics confirms current production status, full datasheet compliance, and guaranteed supply through 2027 per ST's latest product change notification.
