TDA7850 Visão geral
A class AB amplifier is a type of audio power amplifier that combines the efficiency of class B with the low distortion of class A, making it ideal for automotive head units where both power output and audio fidelity are critical. In the system hierarchy, the TDA7850 sits as the final power amplification stage, following the pre-amplifier and tone control stages, and drives the speakers directly.
Key features include a high output power of 4x50W at 4Ω, a wide supply voltage range of 8V to 18V, and a low quiescent current of 120mA. The device also features standby and mute functions for power management, a full set of protections including short-circuit, over-temperature, and load-dump protection, and a very low output noise of 50µV. The Flexiwatt-25 package provides excellent thermal performance with a thermal resistance of 1°C/W, enabling reliable operation in confined automotive environments.
The TDA7850 uses a complementary NPN/PNP output stage with a proprietary BiCMOS process, achieving a signal-to-noise ratio of 90dB and a total harmonic distortion of 0.006% at 1kHz. The high PSRR of 80dB minimizes alternator noise, ensuring clean audio output even with engine running. The device also includes a diagnostic pin for fault detection, simplifying system-level testing.
Typical applications include car radio head units, aftermarket car audio amplifiers, and marine audio systems. The high output power and low distortion make it suitable for driving 4Ω or 2Ω speakers in multi-channel configurations. The standby and mute pins allow for easy integration with microcontroller-based control systems.
When designing with this device, ensure adequate heatsinking to manage the thermal dissipation at high output power. The Flexiwatt-25 package requires a proper thermal interface to the chassis. Also, place the supply and output capacitors close to the IC to minimize EMI and ensure stable operation.

Aftermarket Car Audio Amplifiers
In aftermarket car audio amplifiers, the TDA7850 delivers high power to drive aftermarket speakers and subwoofers. Its 4x50W output can be bridged to 2x100W for more demanding setups. The low output noise of 50µV ensures a quiet background, and the high PSRR of 80dB rejects alternator noise. The device's protection features (short-circuit, over-temperature, load-dump) safeguard the amplifier and speakers in harsh automotive environments. The Flexiwatt-25 package allows for compact amplifier designs with external heatsinks, and the mute function prevents pop noise during power-up. This makes the TDA7850 a popular choice for DIY and professional aftermarket installations.

Notas de projeto
At 4x50W output, the TDA7850 can dissipate up to 30W of heat. The Flexiwatt-25 package has a thermal resistance of 1°C/W (junction-to-case), so a heatsink with a thermal resistance of less than 3°C/W is recommended to keep the junction temperature below 150°C. Ensure proper thermal interface material between the package tab and heatsink.
Place the supply decoupling capacitors (100µF electrolytic and 100nF ceramic) as close as possible to the VS pins. The output filter inductors (if used) should be placed near the output pins to minimize EMI. Use a star-ground topology to avoid ground loops and reduce noise.
Do not operate the TDA7850 without a heatsink, as it will overheat and trigger thermal shutdown. Ensure the standby and mute pins are properly controlled to avoid pop noise. The diagnostic pin is an open-collector output; use a pull-up resistor to VCC.
