Description

The STA515W is a monolithic quad half-bridge

stage in Multipower BCD Technology. The device

can be used as a dual bridge or reconfigured, by

connecting pin CONFIG to pins VDD, as a single

bridge with double-current capability.

The device is designed, particularly, to be the

output stage of a stereo all-digital high-efficiency

amplifier. It is capable of delivering 10 W x

4 channels into 4

 loads with 10% THD at

VCC = 18 V in single-ended configuration.

It can also deliver 20 W + 20 W into 8

 loads

with 10% THD at VCC = 18 V in BTL configuration

or, in single parallel BTL configuration, 40 W into

a 8

load with 10% THD at V

CC = 26 V.

The input pins have a threshold proportional to

the voltage on pin VL.

The STA515W comes in a 36-pin PowerSSO

package with exposed pad down (EPD).
