Product details
Overview
TDA7467 from STMicroelectronics is a programmable stereo audio matrix IC implementing SRS (Sound Retrieval System) 3D audio processing for mono and stereo sources. It provides 0.5 dB input attenuation control, independent SRS center/space attenuation (1 dB steps), mute function, and mono/stereo SRS mode selection-all via I²C bus. Used in consumer audio systems requiring spatial enhancement without external DSP.
For engineers reviewing the TDA7467 datasheet, TDA7467 pinout, TDA7467 application, or TDA7467 equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C-programmable SRS effect depth, dual-mode (mono/stereo 3D) operation, low THD (0.01% typ.), high channel separation (90 dB), and DIP28/SO28 package compatibility with legacy audio signal chains.
Technical Context
The TDA7467 integrates bipolar/CMOS/DMOS technology to achieve low distortion (0.01% THD), low noise (4 µVrms output noise, OFF), and minimal DC stepping (<3 mV). Its analog signal path uses precision resistor networks and op-amps per SRS Labs specifications, ensuring consistent spatial processing independent of process variation.
Control is fully serial: I²C interface supports start/stop conditions, 8-bit data bytes with ACK, and both incremental and non-incremental addressing modes. Chip address depends on ADDR pin state (0x80 floating, 0x82 pulled to VS), enabling multi-device bus configuration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 7–10.2 V - Supports standard 9 V audio rails with ±1.2 V tolerance |
| THD+N | 0.01% typ. @ 1 Vrms, 1 kHz - Enables high-fidelity playback without audible coloration |
| Channel Separation | 90 dB @ 1 kHz - Ensures clean left/right signal isolation for accurate stereo imaging |
| Input Attenuation | −31.5 to 0 dB in 0.5 dB steps - Fine-grained volume leveling before SRS processing |
| SRS Center/Space Range | −31 to 0 dB in 1 dB steps - Independent adjustment of perceived soundstage width and front-center focus |
| Mute Attenuation | 100 dB - Full analog signal blocking for silent switching between audio sources |
| Output Noise | 4 µVrms (OFF), 50 µVrms (SRS ON) - Low-noise performance critical for line-level amplification stages |

| SDA / SCL | I²C Data/Clock | Two-wire serial interface for full register programming and status readback |
| AGND / DIG_GND | Analog/Digital Ground | Separate ground pins minimize digital switching noise coupling into analog paths |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SRS audio matrix applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDA7466 | Predecessor IC; lacks SRS mono mode and has coarser 1 dB input attenuation steps | Supports only stereo SRS; no mono 3D mode or perspective filter inputs | Select when legacy system compatibility is required and mono SRS functionality is unnecessary |
| STA326 | DSP-based audio processor with integrated SRS; requires firmware loading and external memory | Offers programmable EQ, crossover, and multi-band dynamics beyond SRS matrix functions | Select when system-level flexibility (e.g., custom profiles, multiple effects) outweighs analog simplicity and zero-latency operation |
Compared with TDA7466 and STA326, the TDA7467 uniquely balances analog fidelity, I²C configurability, and licensed SRS mono/stereo mode support in a single-chip solution-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, latency-critical consumer audio where SRS licensing and analog transparency are design priorities.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the TDA7467?
The absolute maximum supply voltage is 11 V, but the recommended operating range is 7–10.2 V. Operation above 10.2 V risks exceeding thermal limits and degrading THD performance. The device draws 25 mA typical at 9 V, and thermal resistance (junction-to-pins) is 85 °C/W-requiring adequate PCB copper area for heatsinking in enclosed enclosures.
Does the TDA7467 require external passive components to implement SRS processing?
Yes. SRS functionality depends on external RC networks connected to HP1–HP6 and LP1/LP2 pins. For example, HP1 requires a 0.15 µF capacitor to set the 125 Hz perspective filter; values are specified in the datasheet block diagram and must match SRS Labs' reference design to ensure correct phase shift and spatial effect fidelity.
Can the TDA7467 operate in standalone mode without an I²C controller?
No. All functional modes-including mono/stereo SRS selection, attenuation levels, and mute-are controlled exclusively via I²C commands. There are no hardware strapping pins or default analog configurations. Power-on reset initializes registers to fixed defaults (e.g., SRS OFF), but active control requires continuous microcontroller communication.
Is the TDA7467 still in active production or considered obsolete?
STMicroelectronics lists the TDA7467 as "Obsolete Product(s)" in its official documentation. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains verified legacy stock with full traceability and offers extended lifecycle support-including counterfeit mitigation, solderability validation, and technical documentation archiving-for continued use in maintenance and replacement programs.
