ST EVAL-TDA7803A Manuel utilisateur
Introduction
This note provides preliminary information about how to operate the boards offered to evaluate two components in FW27
package: TDA7803A and TDA7808.
This document describes how to use the evaluation board in order to check devices performance; for any other information and
deeper details please refer to the TDA7803A and TDA7808 datasheet (see Appendix A).

2Board operation
Before any operation, please insert the power amplifier in the socket provided with the board.
A heat-sink (not provided) has to be used. Please refer to Section 3 Power dissipation/Heat-sink to choose the
right heat-sink.
A supply voltage (battery voltage or equivalent) on VS-GND connectors, between 6 V and 18 V, is needed to
operate the board.
Please refer to datasheet to understand load impedance compatibility of power amplifiers, then connect resistive
loads (or speakers) to OUT1, OUT2, OUT3, OUT4 connectors.
I2S format (SDA, CLK, WS lines) has to be used for input audio signals.
I2C bus format (SDA, CLK lines) is necessary for sending any operation instructions to the IC.
HW Mute and Standby should be disabled (both are active low).
The TDA7803A power amplifier can only operate with I2C bus active.
The IC can work in high efficiency mode too (please, refer to datasheet). This operating mode can be selected
through the I2C bus.

3Power dissipation/Heat-sink
The heat-sink size / characteristics largely depend on the operating conditions and consequently power
dissipation levels are implied. Dissipation can be higher if sine test tones are used instead of music or audio-
simulation signals (e.g. Pink Noise).
Considering the standard car-radio conditions (Vs = 14 V, RL = 4 Ω, 4-CH operation), the Pdiss levels implied are
as follows (STD mode / SB-I mode @ Tamb = 70 °C , Tj-max = 150 °C):
• SINE WAVE: Pdiss = 42 W / 38 Rth htsk = 1.9 °C/W / 2.1 °C/W
• PINK NOISE: Pdiss = 30 W / 18 Rth htsk = 12.7 °C/W / 4.4 °C/W
If sine-wave trials (especially with 4-CH operation / RL = 2 Ω) are to be run, then the heatsink
has to be replaced by a larger / lower-Rth one.

4High frequency output waveforms
In SB-I mode the speaker signal (OUT-OUT) is the sum of the signals at OUT+ and OUT- pins, which are not
sinusoidal (in STD mode they are). Here below it is reported an oscilloscope snapshot, which shows the output
waveforms in SB-I mode (@ Po > 2.5 W / 4 Ω).

6Information on board use
This evaluation board/kit is intended to be used for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION OR
EVALUATION PURPOSES ONLY and it is not considered by ST Microelectronics (ST) a finished end product fit
for general consumer use. People handling the product(s) must have electronics training and observe good
engineering practice standards. As such, the goods being provided are not intended to be complete in terms of
required design-, marketing- and/or manufacturing-related protective considerations, including product safety and
environmental measures typically found in end products that incorporate such semiconductor components or
circuit boards. This evaluation board/kit does not fall within the scope of the European Union directives regarding
electromagnetic compatibility, restricted substances (RoHS), recycling (WEEE), FCC, CE or UL, and therefore
they may not meet the technical requirements of these directives or other related directives.
