Product details
Overview
TDA7576B from STMicroelectronics is a dual-bridge MOSFET audio power amplifier designed for 24 V battery systems in commercial vehicles. It delivers 2 × 20 W into 4 Ω at 24 V/1 kHz (10 % THD), integrates clip/offset/short-circuit diagnostics, and operates without external decoupling or bootstrap capacitors - enabling compact truck audio head units.
For engineers reviewing the TDA7576B datasheet, TDA7576B pinout, TDA7576B application, or TDA7576B equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail MOSFET output swing, HVCC half-supply buffer architecture, diagnostic pin behavior under thermal foldback, and compatibility with 24 V automotive supply transients up to 60 V load dump.
Technical Context
The TDA7576B uses a fully complementary P-channel/N-channel MOSFET output stage enabling rail-to-rail voltage swing and minimizing saturation losses. Its unique single-ended topology eliminates output DC-blocking capacitors by referencing both speaker terminals to an internally buffered HVCC (half-VCC) node.
It implements three independent diagnostics: open-collector CD pin asserts low on clipping (THD ≥ 2 %), short circuit, or thermal warning (Tj ≈ 140 °C); OD pin asserts low on output DC offset > ±3 V; and thermal foldback begins at ~140 °C with full mute at ~160 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Power | 2 × 20 W @ 4 Ω, 24 V, 1 kHz, 10 % THD - sufficient for dual midrange speakers in cabin audio |
| Supply Voltage Range | 8–32 V operating, 60 V peak load dump tolerance - compatible with 24 V truck/bus battery systems |
| THD+N | 0.05 % typ @ 4 W, 1 kHz - low distortion preserves vocal clarity in noisy vehicle environments |
| Crosstalk | 50 dB @ 1 kHz, 4 W - prevents left/right channel bleed in stereo cabin playback |
| Quiescent Current | 90–130 mA @ 28 V - enables low-power standby mode with <10 µA consumption |
| Diagnostic Pins | CD (clip/short/thermal) and OD (DC offset) open-collector outputs - enable fail-safe system monitoring without external logic |
| Thermal Protection | Thermal foldback starts at ~140 °C; mute at ~160 °C - maintains partial audio during overheating instead of hard shutdown |
Pinout & Package
Package: Multiwatt15 (vertical, 15-pin through-hole), RoHS-compliant ECOPACK® variant. Thermal resistance junction-to-case is 2 °C/W - requires direct heatsink mounting via exposed metal tab.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (CD) | Clip/Diagnostic open-collector output | Drives low on clipping (THD ≥ 2 %), short circuit, or thermal warning - shared fault reporting |
| 2 (OD) | Offset detector open-collector output | Drives low if output DC offset exceeds ±3 V - protects speakers from thermal damage |
| 3 (IN2), 14 (IN1) | Differential audio inputs | High-impedance (55 kΩ) inputs accept line-level stereo signals; max 5 V range |
| 6 (OUT2), 11 (OUT1) | Bridge-tied load outputs | MOSFET-driven outputs; each drives one speaker terminal - no external coupling caps needed |
| 9 (HVCC) | Half-supply buffer output | Internally generated VCC/2 reference - common node for speaker return paths, eliminating ground-loop hum |
| 13 (STBY), 15 (PM) | Control inputs | STBY pin enables deep sleep (<10 µA); PM pin mutes output with 90 dB attenuation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external decoupling capacitors | Eliminates two large electrolytics per channel - reduces PCB area and cost in space-constrained head units |
| Internally fixed gain (26 dB) | Removes need for external feedback resistors - simplifies layout and improves production consistency |
| Rail-to-rail MOSFET output stage | Maximizes voltage swing across 4 Ω loads - increases usable output power without raising supply voltage |
| 60 V load dump protection | Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a transients - meets commercial vehicle electrical system requirements |
| Integrated HVCC buffer | Provides stable half-supply reference for speaker common-mode - suppresses ground noise and enables capacitorless BTL operation |
Applications
| Truck Cabin Audio Head Unit | Bus Public Address System |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Stereo audio playback in heavy-duty truck cab with high ambient noise and wide temperature swings. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel Class-AB MOSFET power amplifier driving 4 Ω midrange speakers directly from 24 V battery. Use Value: 20 W/channel output sustains intelligible voice/music at highway noise levels; 60 V load dump rating ensures reliability during alternator regulation faults. |
Use Scenario: Multi-zone PA amplification in city transit buses with centralized audio source and distributed speaker zones. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-bridge amplifier powering two independent 4 Ω speaker zones from single 24 V bus. Use Value: Integrated diagnostics (CD/OD pins) feed microcontroller for real-time fault logging; standby mode cuts quiescent current to <10 µA during overnight parking. |
| Off-Highway Vehicle Infotainment | Mobile Equipment Communication Console |
|
Use Scenario: Audio interface in construction equipment cabs where EMI, vibration, and thermal cycling degrade conventional amplifiers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability audio driver with thermal foldback and short-circuit protection for ruggedized displays. Use Value: Thermal foldback (~140 °C) maintains partial audio during sustained high-power operation - avoids abrupt mute during critical operator alerts. |
Use Scenario: Voice communication module in emergency response vehicles requiring clear intercom and siren tone playback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-THD dual amplifier handling both narrowband comms and wideband siren waveforms simultaneously. Use Value: 0.05 % THD at 4 W preserves speech fidelity; clip detection (2 % THD threshold) triggers automatic gain reduction before audible distortion occurs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-bridge MOSFET audio amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDA7560 | Same Multiwatt15 package but rated for 12 V systems (max 18 V); lower 2 × 15 W output @ 4 Ω | Lacks 60 V load dump rating and HVCC buffer - unsuitable for 24 V truck platforms | Select only for 12 V coach or RV applications where supply stability is guaranteed |
| TPA5052 | 36 V max supply, 2 × 25 W @ 4 Ω, but requires external bootstrap and decoupling capacitors | Higher efficiency (85 % vs 75 %) but larger BOM and board area due to 6 extra passive components | Prefer when thermal budget allows smaller heatsink and design tolerates added component count |
Compared with TDA7576B, TDA7560 lacks 24 V system robustness and diagnostic integration, while TPA5052 trades higher power for increased external component dependency - making TDA7576B optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability 24 V commercial vehicle audio.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the HVCC pin?
HVCC provides an internally buffered half-supply voltage reference used as the common-mode node for both speaker outputs. This eliminates the need for output DC-blocking capacitors and reduces ground-loop noise in vehicle audio systems. The pin sources/sinks current proportional to the difference between left and right channel outputs, requiring adequate PCB copper pour for thermal management.
How does the CD pin behave during thermal events?
The CD pin is an open-collector output that pulls low during thermal warning (~140 °C), clipping (THD ≥ 2 %), or output short circuits. During thermal foldback, it remains asserted low while audio gain is progressively reduced; it stays low until junction temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~130 °C), ensuring reliable fault latching without external circuitry.
Can TDA7576B drive 2 Ω loads?
No - the device is characterized and specified only for 4 Ω minimum loads. Driving 2 Ω loads exceeds safe operating area limits, risks thermal runaway due to increased power dissipation, and voids protection features including short-circuit detection. ST's datasheet explicitly prohibits operation below 4 Ω to ensure reliability in 24 V vehicle environments.
Is external compensation required for stability?
No - the TDA7576B features internally fixed compensation optimized for unity-gain stability with standard 4 Ω loudspeaker loads. No external RC networks or compensation capacitors are needed, reducing bill-of-materials and eliminating tuning steps during production. Stability is verified across temperature, supply voltage, and load variations per ST's production test flow.
