Product details
Overview
TDA7465 from STMicroelectronics is a digitally controlled audio processor IC with integrated SRS Surround Sound, voice canceller, and 3-band tone control (bass/middle/treble), designed for automotive radio, Hi-Fi, and TV audio systems. It features stereo input, mixer input for karaoke, independent speaker/recording attenuators (0.5–1 dB steps), zero-crossing mute, and I²C programmability. Key specs include THD ≤0.1%, S/N ratio 106 dB, and supply voltage 7–10.2 V.
For engineers reviewing the TDA7465 datasheet, TDA7465 pinout, TDA7465 application, or TDA7465 equivalent, this device supports real-time surround mode selection (Music/Movie/Simulated), SRS center/space adjustment, rear speaker output drive, and precise analog signal conditioning via resistor-programmable filters - critical for automotive infotainment tuning and multi-source audio mixing.
Technical Context
The TDA7465 implements a bipolar/CMOS hybrid architecture to achieve low distortion (0.01% typ.), low noise (4 µVrms output noise in OFF mode), and DC step-free attenuation. Its analog signal path integrates programmable phase shifters (four stages with selectable resistors) and matrix-based surround synthesis per SRS Labs licensing.
Control is fully serial via I²C bus (SDA/SCL), supporting incremental and non-incremental addressing, subaddress mapping for function blocks (e.g., BASS, TREBLE, SURROUND MODE), and hardware address pin (ADDR) for dual-device configuration. Power-on reset initializes all functions to safe defaults including mute, max attenuation, and SRS off.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 7–10.2 V - Enables direct connection to automotive 9 V rail with ±1.2 V tolerance margin. |
| Total Harmonic Distortion | 0.01–0.1% @ 1 kHz - Ensures high-fidelity audio reproduction without audible coloration. |
| Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 106 dB - Delivers ultra-low background noise for quiet listening environments (e.g., car cabin at idle). |
| Input Attenuation Range | −31.5 to 0 dB in 0.5 dB steps - Allows fine-grained gain matching between sources (e.g., tuner vs. Bluetooth module). |
| SRS Surround Control | Center: −31 to 0 dB; Space: −31 to 0 dB in 1 dB steps - Enables precise spatial imaging calibration for speaker layout compensation. |
| Speaker Output Attenuation | 0 to −79 dB in 1 dB steps - Supports balanced left/right channel leveling and dynamic range compression for loudspeaker protection. |
| I²C Interface | Standard-mode (100 kHz), 7-bit address + R/W bit - Compatible with common microcontrollers without timing overhead or level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SDIP42 (42-pin shrink dual in-line package, 0.600" width, 36.83 mm × 16.00 mm footprint).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| L-IN / R-IN | Stereo analog input | Differential-capable inputs accepting up to 2 Vrms; internal 50 kΩ impedance enables direct connection to line-level sources. |
| MIX | Karaoke microphone input | High-impedance (100 kΩ) input with dedicated voice canceller path; supports mono mic mixing into stereo bus. |
| L-OUT / R-OUT | Main speaker outputs | Buffered outputs with 30 Ω typical impedance; drive 10 kΩ loads directly; support zero-crossing mute to eliminate pop noise. |
| REAR_OUT | Surround speaker output | Active rear channel derived from SRS matrix; provides discrete surround feed for 4.1 or 5.1 system expansion. |
| SDA / SCL | I²C bidirectional bus | Open-drain pins requiring external pull-ups; enable full digital control of all audio parameters without additional GPIOs. |
| ADDR | Hardware address select | Connect to VS or GND to set I²C address (0x80 or 0x82), allowing two TDA7465s on same bus for dual-zone audio. |
| VREFOUT | Reference voltage output | Stable 3.8 V reference for external filter networks (e.g., treble/middle/bass RC stages); improves tone control accuracy across temperature. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar audio processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDA7492 | Class-D amplifier + audio processor combo; lacks SRS license and voice canceller; higher output power (2×30 W). | Targeted at active speaker designs requiring built-in amplification; not suitable for line-level signal chain processing. | Select when system requires integrated power stage and can omit licensed SRS processing. |
| CS42L52 | Low-power stereo codec with I²C control; includes ADC/DAC but no analog tone control, SRS, or surround matrix. | Designed for portable battery-powered devices; no rear output or karaoke mixer functionality. | Select for mobile audio where digitization and power efficiency outweigh analog feature richness. |
Compared with TDA7465, TDA7492 trades audio processing depth for integrated Class-D output drive, while CS42L52 replaces analog signal conditioning with mixed-signal conversion - making TDA7465 uniquely suited for high-SNR, license-compliant analog surround systems in fixed-location audio equipment.

FAQ
What is the function of the ADDR pin on the TDA7465?
The ADDR pin sets the LSB of the I²C slave address: tied to VS selects 0x82, tied to GND selects 0x80. This allows two TDA7465 devices to share the same I²C bus for dual-zone audio processing (e.g., front/rear cabin control) without address conflict or software arbitration.
Does the TDA7465 require external passive components for tone control?
Yes - bass, middle, and treble filtering relies on external resistor-capacitor networks connected to pins like BASS-LI/BASS-LO, MIDDLE-LI/MIDDLE-LO, and TREBLE-L/TREBLE-R. Component values (e.g., 2.7 kΩ, 18 nF) are specified in the datasheet to meet SRS Labs' frequency response targets and must be populated per application requirements.
How does the voice canceller operate without a digital signal path?
The voice canceller uses analog subtraction: the MIX input (microphone) is inverted and summed with delayed versions of L-IN/R-IN to suppress correlated vocal content. Its three outputs (AVO1–AVO3) provide different cancellation depths and phase alignments, all implemented in the analog domain using operational amplifiers and precision resistors - eliminating algorithmic latency.
Is the TDA7465 still in active production?
No - STMicroelectronics has marked the TDA7465 as obsolete (as noted on page 1/20 of the datasheet). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory with full traceability and offers lifecycle management support, including cross-reference guidance and last-time-buy planning for ongoing production programs.
