DESCRIPTION

The TDA7360 is a new technology class AB

Audio Power Amplifier in the Multiwatt

®

package

designed for car radio applications.

Thanks to the fully complementary PNP/NPN out-

put configuration the high power performance of

the TDA7360 is obtained without bootstrap ca-

pacitors.

A delayed turn-on mute circuit eliminates audible

on/off noise, and a novel short circuit protection

system prevents spurious intervention with highly

inductive loads.

The device provides a circuit for the detection of

clipping in the output stages. The output, an open

collector, is able to drive systems with automatic

volume control.

This is advanced information on a new product now in development or undergoing evaluation. Details are subject to change without notice.
