TDA2030
14 W hi-fi audio amplifier
Features
Wide-range supply voltage, up to 36 V
Single or split power supply
Short-circuit protection to ground
Thermal shutdown
Description
The TDA2030 is a monolithic integrated circuit in
the Pentawatt® package, intended for use as a
low frequency class-AB amplifier. Typically it
provides 14 W output power (d = 0.5%) at
14 V/4 Ω. At ±14 V or 28 V, the guaranteed output
power is 12 W on a 4 Ω load and 8 W on an 8 Ω
(DIN45500).
The TDA2030 provides high output current and
has very low harmonic and crossover distortion.
Furthermore, the device incorporates an original
(and patented) short-circuit protection system
comprising an arrangement for automatically
limiting the dissipated power so as to keep the
operating point of the output transistors within
their safe operating range. A conventional thermal
shutdown system is also included.

Practical considerations TDA2030

4 Practical considerations
4.1 Printed circuit board
The layout shown in Figure 19 should be adopted by the designers. If different layouts are
used, the ground points of input 1 and input 2 must be well decoupled from the ground
return of the output in which a high current flows.
4.2 Assembly suggestion
No electrical isolation is needed between the package and the heatsink with single supply
voltage configuration.
4.3 Application suggestions
The recommended values of the components are those shown on application circuit of
Figure 16. However, if different values are chosen, then the following table can be helpful.

Short-circuit protection TDA2030
12/17 Doc ID 1458 Rev 3
5 Short-circuit protection
The TDA2030 has an original circuit which limits the current of the output transistors.
Figure 21 shows that the maximum output current is a function of the collector emitter
voltage; hence the output transistors work within their safe operating area (Figure 5).
This function can therefore be considered as being peak power limiting rather than simple
current limiting.
It reduces the possibility that the device gets damaged during an accidental short-circuit
from AC output to ground.

Doc ID 1458 Rev 3 13/17
6 Thermal shutdown
The presence of a thermal limiting circuit offers the following advantages:
1. An overload on the output (even if it is permanent), or an above limit ambient
temperature can be easily supported since Tj cannot be higher than 150°C.
2. The heatsink can have a smaller factor of safety compared with that of a conventional
circuit. There is no possibility of device damage due to high junction temperature. If for
any reason, the junction temperature increases to 150°C, the thermal shutdown simply
reduces the power dissipation at the current consumption.
The maximum allowable power dissipation depends upon the size of the external heatsink
(i.e. its thermal resistance); Figure 25 shows this power dissipation as a function of ambient
temperature for different thermal resistances.
