Product details
Overview
TDA7492 from STMicroelectronics is a dual-channel Class-D audio amplifier in PowerSSO-36 EPU package, delivering 50 W + 50 W continuous output into 6 Ω at 10% THD with 25 V supply. It features differential inputs, four fixed gain settings (21.6–33.6 dB), standby/mute control, and thermal/short-circuit protection - deployed in LCD TV and monitor audio subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the TDA7492 datasheet, TDA7492 pinout, TDA7492 application, or TDA7492 equivalent, key selection considerations include single-supply operation (8–26 V), 90% efficiency, exposed-pad thermal management, gain configuration via GAIN0/GAIN1, and external clock synchronization capability.
Technical Context
The TDA7492 integrates two identical BTL Class-D channels with independent power stages, each driven by a 310 kHz internal oscillator (adjustable via ROSC) or synchronized to an external clock on SYNCLK. Its signal path uses fully differential analog inputs with 60 kΩ input resistance and 25 μV input noise (22 Hz–22 kHz).
Protection logic includes overcurrent detection (6 A threshold), thermal shutdown at 150 °C, undervoltage lockout (7 V), and overvoltage protection (29 V). Diagnostic output (DIAG) provides open-drain fault signaling for short-circuit, thermal, or UV/OV events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output power | 50 W + 50 W @ 6 Ω, THD = 10%, VCC = 25 V - enables full-range stereo audio in space-constrained TV backlights |
| Supply voltage range | 8–26 V single supply - supports wide-input industrial and consumer DC rails without auxiliary regulators |
| Efficiency | 90% @ 40 W + 40 W - reduces heatsink size and eliminates active cooling in sealed enclosures |
| Gain settings | 21.6 / 27.6 / 31.1 / 33.6 dB (via GAIN0/GAIN1) - matches varied line-level or DAC output amplitudes without external attenuation |
| THD+N | 0.1–0.4% @ 1 W, 1 kHz - meets broadcast-grade audio fidelity requirements for mid-tier displays |
| Switching frequency | 290–330 kHz (internal) or 250–400 kHz (external sync) - avoids audible switching noise and simplifies EMI filter design |
| Crosstalk | >50 dB @ 1 kHz - ensures channel separation critical for stereo imaging in compact PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerSSO-36 EPU (Exposed Pad Up), thermally enhanced surface-mount housing with integrated heatsink pad tied to PGND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUTPA/OUTPB | Positive PWM output (left/right) | Drives high-side of BTL speaker load; requires LC low-pass filtering before speaker connection |
| OUTNA/OUTNB | Negative PWM output (left/right) | Drives low-side of BTL load; complementary to OUTPA/OUTPB for differential drive |
| PGNDA/PGNDB/PGND | Power stage ground | Separate high-current return paths minimize ground bounce between channels |
| VDDPW/VDDS/SVCC | On-chip regulator outputs | VDDPW (3.3 V for power stage), VDDS (3.3 V for signal blocks), SVCC (signal supply) - reduce external LDO count |
| STBY/MUTE | Digital control inputs | Active-high logic: STBY disables all circuitry (2.5 μA quiescent); MUTE silences outputs without disrupting bias |
| GAIN0/GAIN1 | Gain configuration pins | Two-pin binary encoding selects one of four closed-loop gains - no external resistors needed |
| DIAG | Open-drain diagnostic output | Pulls low during thermal overload, overcurrent, UVLO, or OV - enables system-level fault logging |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Must be soldered to large copper pour connected to PGND - primary thermal path (Rth j-case = 2 °C/W) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Differential input architecture | 60 kΩ input resistance + 25 μV noise floor - rejects common-mode interference from digital video circuits in TVs |
| Externally synchronizable clock | SYNCLK pin accepts or generates 500 kHz clock - eliminates beat tones when multiple TDA7492s drive adjacent zones |
| Integrated protection suite | Auto-recovery thermal shutdown, cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limit, UV/OV lockout - prevents field failures without external monitoring |
| ECOPACK® packaging | Lead-free, halogen-free PowerSSO-36 EPU - complies with RoHS and China RoHS without derating thermal performance |
| Wide supply tolerance | Operates down to 8 V - sustains audio during brownout conditions in 12 V automotive display systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel Class-D audio amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TAS5756M | Higher integration: integrated DSP, I²S interface, and 32-bit processing; 40 W + 40 W @ 8 Ω; 92% efficiency | Requires I²S audio source and firmware configuration; suited for smart TV platforms needing EQ and volume leveling | Select when programmable audio processing and digital input support outweigh cost and layout simplicity |
| TPA3116D2 | Lower cost; 30 W + 30 W @ 8 Ω; 90% efficiency; no differential inputs; requires external gain-setting resistors | Lacks differential noise rejection and integrated regulators - needs additional LDOs and careful layout for EMI control | Select for cost-sensitive, non-TV applications where common-mode noise is minimal and board area is less constrained |
Compared with TAS5756M and TPA3116D2, the TDA7492 uniquely balances analog simplicity (no DSP or I²S dependency), differential noise immunity, and self-contained power regulation - making it optimal for legacy video processor interfaces and thermally tight TV chassis.

FAQ
What LC filter values are recommended for 8 Ω speakers?
For 8 Ω loads, ST specifies a 33 μH inductor and 220 nF capacitor per channel, placed between each PWM output pair (OUTPA/OUTNA and OUTPB/OUTNB) and the speaker. This filter suppresses 310 kHz switching energy while preserving audio bandwidth up to 20 kHz with ±0.5 dB flatness. Layout must minimize loop area and use ground plane under filter components.
How does the TDA7492 handle thermal overload?
When junction temperature reaches 150 °C, the TDA7492 enters thermal shutdown: all PWM outputs disable, STBY remains active, and DIAG pin pulls low. Recovery occurs automatically once Tj drops below 140 °C. The PowerSSO-36 EPU package achieves Rth j-case = 2 °C/W when the exposed pad is soldered to ≥4 cm² of 2-oz copper tied to PGND.
Can the TDA7492 operate from a 12 V supply?
Yes - the TDA7492 supports 8–26 V single supply. At 12 V, it delivers 15 W + 15 W into 8 Ω at 10% THD. Quiescent current remains 26–35 mA, and efficiency stays above 80%. For 12 V operation, ensure the LC filter inductors are rated for ≥10 A saturation current to avoid core saturation at peak output.
What is the purpose of the VREF pin?
VREF outputs half of VDDS (≈1.65 V) and serves as the common-mode reference for the differential input amplifiers (INPA/INNA and INPB/INNB). It must be decoupled with a 100 nF ceramic capacitor to SGND. This rail eliminates need for external bias networks and ensures optimal CMRR across temperature and supply variations.
