The combination of the TDA8927J and the TDA8929T
produces a two-channel audio power amplifier system
using the class-D technology (see Fig.5). In the TDA8929T
controller device the analog audio input signal is converted
into a digital Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal.
The power stage TDA8927 is used for driving the low-pass
filter and the loudspeaker load. It performs a level shift
from the low-power digital PWM signal, at logic levels, to a
high-power PWM signal that switchs between the main
supply lines. A second-order low-pass filter converts the
PWM signal into an analog audio signal across the
loudspeaker.
See the specification of the TDA8929T for a description of
the controller.
8.1
The power stage contains the high-power DMOS
switches, the drivers, timing and handshaking between the
power switches and some control logic. For protection, a
temperature sensor and a maximum current detector are
built-in on the chip.
For interfacing with the controller chip the following
connections are used:

Temperature and short-circuit protection sensors are
included in the TDA8927 power stage. These protections
are only operational in combination with the TDA8929T. In
the event that the maximum current or maximum
temperature is exceeded the diagnostic output is
activated. The controller has to take appropriate measures
by shutting down the system.
8.2.1
If the junction temperature (T
pin DIAG becomes LOW. The diagnostic pin is released if
the temperature is dropped to approximately 130 C, so
there is a hysteresis of approximately 20 C.
8.2.2
When the loudspeaker terminals are short-circuited it will
be detected by the current protection. If the output current
exceeds the maximum output current of 7.5 A, then
pin DIAG becomes LOW. The controller should shut down
the system to prevent damage. Using the TDA8929T the
system is shut down within 1 s, and after 220 ms, it will
attempt to restart the system again. During this time the
dissipation is very low, so the average dissipation during a
short-circuit is practically zero.
For the TDA8927TH the limit value can be externally
adjusted using a resistor. For the maximum value of 7.5 A
pin LIM should be connected to V

output current can be set at a lower value, using:
