General description
The TFA9842BJ contains two identical audio power amplifiers. The TFA9842BJ can be
used as two Single-Ended (SE) channels with a fixed gain of 26 dB.
The TFA9842BJ comes in a 9-pin DIL-bent-SIL (DBS9P) power package. The TFA9842BJ
is pin compatible with the TFA9841J, TFA9842J, TFA9843J and the TFA9843BJ.
The TFA9842BJ contains a unique protection circuit that is solely based on multiple
temperature measurements inside the chip. This gives maximum output power for all
supply voltages and load conditions with no unnecessary audio holes. Almost any supply
voltage and load impedance combination can be made as long as thermal boundary
conditions (number of channels used, external heatsink and ambient temperature) allow
it.

Functional description
8.1 Input configuration
The input cut-off frequency is:
(1)
Application: R
i
= 60 k
and C
i
= 220 nF:
(2)
As shown in
Equation 2
large capacitor values for the inputs are not necessary; so the
switch-on delay during charging of the input capacitors can be minimized. This results in a
good low frequency response and good switch-on behavior.
8.2 Power amplifier
The power amplifier is a Single-Ended (SE) amplifier with an all-NPN output stage,
capable of delivering a peak output current of 3 A.
8.2.1 Output power measurement
The output power as a function of the supply voltage is measured on the output pins at
THD = 10 %; see
Figure 8
. The maximum output power is limited by the supply voltage of
26 V and the maximum available output current is 3 A (repetitive peak current). A
minimum load of 3
is required for V
CC
> 22 V; see
Figure 5
. The output power is
measured with one channel driven.

8.2.2 Headroom
Typical CD music requires at least 12 dB (factor 15.85) dynamic headroom, compared to
the average power output, for transferring the loudest parts without distortion. At
V
CC
= 17 V, P
o
= 5 W and R
L
= 4
at THD = 0.2 % (see
Figure 6
), the Average Listening
Level (ALL) music power without any distortion yields:
(3)
The power dissipation can be derived from
Figure 9
for 0 dB respectively 12 dB headroom
(see
Table 4
).
For the average listening level a power dissipation of 4.2 W can be used for a heatsink
calculation.
8.3 Mode selection
The TFA9842BJ has three functional modes, which can be selected by applying the
proper DC voltage to pin MODE (see
Table 5
and
Figure 3
).
Standby -- In this mode the current consumption is very low and the outputs are floating.
The device is in standby mode when V
MODE
< 0.8 V, or when pin MODE is grounded.
Mute -- In this mode the amplifier is DC-biased but not operational (no audio output).
This allows the input coupling capacitors to be charged to avoid pop-noise. The device is
in mute mode when 4.5 V < V
MODE
< (V
CC
-
3.5 V).
On -- In this mode the amplifier is operating normally. The operating mode is activated at
V
MODE
> (V
CC
-
2.0 V).
