Product details
Overview
TDA7462D013TR from STMicroelectronics is a fully integrated audio processor IC with five stereo + one mono analog input channels, four independent speaker outputs (front/rear left/right), dynamic compression for CD sources, differential subwoofer output, voice-band filter, softmute/softstep volume control, and I²C programmability. It delivers 0.005% THD+N at 1VRMS, 106dB SNR, and supports automotive and consumer audio systems requiring multi-source mixing and loudness compensation.
For engineers reviewing the TDA7462D013TR datasheet, TDA7462D013TR pinout, TDA7462D013TR application, or TDA7462D013TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 28-pin SO package, ±14dB bass/treble programmability, 80dB volume range with 0.5dB steps, 40–70dB CMRR on differential inputs, and I²C-configurable compander with 2:1 compression ratio.
Technical Context
The TDA7462D013TR implements a BICMOS-based analog signal path with AutoZero offset cancellation before the mixing stage, eliminating DC drift without external AC coupling. Its input multiplexer supports three single-ended stereo inputs (SE1L/R, SE2L/R, SE3L/R), one pseudo-differential stereo input (PDL/PDR), one fully differential CD stereo input (CDL+/−, CDR+/−), and one differential mono input (MD+/−).
Signal processing includes second-order programmable bass/treble filters (4 center frequencies each), voice-bandpass (dual 2nd-order Butterworth HPF/LPF), loudness compensation (400/800Hz center, selectable Q), and a dedicated compander stage optimized for CD dynamic range compression with attack times from 6ms to 49ms and release up to 1.56s.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar audio processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDA7461D013TR | Lacks subwoofer output, compander, and voice-band filter; 20-pin SO package; no differential CD input | Suitable only for basic 4-channel stereo systems without bass management or CD optimization | Select when cost-sensitive designs omit subwoofer support and dynamic compression |
| CS42888-CQZ | Audio codec with ADC/DAC, 24-bit/192kHz, SPI/I²C, but no analog input multiplexer or integrated filters | Requires external op-amps and passive filters for tone control; targets digital-centric architectures | Select when system already uses digital audio transport and needs conversion-not analog signal conditioning |
Compared with TDA7462D013TR, the TDA7461D013TR reduces feature set and pin count for cost-driven entry-level audio, while the CS42888-CQZ shifts architecture to mixed-signal domain-requiring additional analog front-end design effort but enabling higher-resolution digital processing.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended supply voltage for continuous operation?
The TDA7462D013TR has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 10.5V, but continuous operation must remain within 7.5–10.2V per datasheet specifications. Operating above 10.2V risks permanent damage to the BICMOS analog core, while voltages below 7.5V cause functional degradation in gain accuracy and noise performance. Thermal derating applies above 70°C ambient.
How does the AutoZero function interact with I²C programming?
AutoZero activates automatically when I²C subaddress 0x00 is written, completing in ≤0.3ms while muting the output path to prevent clicks. If the AutoZero Remain bit (bit 1 of subaddress 0x01) is set, writing 0x00 skips recalibration and retains prior offset correction-essential during firmware refresh cycles where source selection hasn't changed and unintended mute must be avoided.
Can the subwoofer output be used in single-ended mode?
No-the SUBOUT+ and SUBOUT− pins form a true differential pair with internal 6dB gain and fixed 2nd-order low-pass filtering; they must drive a differential-input amplifier or transformer. Attempting single-ended use (e.g., grounding SUBOUT−) unbalances the output stage, degrading CMRR, increasing distortion, and violating the specified 2kΩ differential load requirement per datasheet Section 5.
What causes audible artifacts during rapid volume changes, and how is it mitigated?
Clicks arise from DC offset transients and abrupt envelope discontinuities at the volume stage input. The TDA7462D013TR mitigates this via AutoZero (removing baseline offset) and SoftStep (applying S-curve interpolation between 0.16–20.4ms). Disabling SoftStep for >1dB steps introduces measurable error and audible stepping-so firmware must enforce 1dB max step size when SoftStep is off.
