LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
1 W AUDIO AMPLIFIER
 The TBA 810 S is a monolithic integrated circuit in a 12 lead quad in-line plastic package, intended for
 use as a low frequency class B amplifier.
 The TBA 810 S provides 7 W power output at 16 V/4 n, 6 W at 14.4 V/If n, 2.5 W at9 V/4 n, 1 Wat
 6 V/4 n and works with a wide range of supply voltages (4 to 20 V); it gives high output current (up to
 2.5 A), high efficiency (75% at 6 W output). very low harmonic and cross-over distortion. In addition,
the circuit is provided with a thermal protection circuit.
The TBA 810 AS has the same electrical characteristics as the TBA 810S, but its cooling tabs are flat
and pierced so that an external heatsink can easily be attached.

For portable equipment the circuit in Fig. 10 has the advantages of fewer external components and a
better behaviour at low supply voltages (down to 4 V).

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The thermal power dissipated in the circuit may be removed by connecting the tabs to an external heat
sink (TBA 810 AS - fig. 12) or by soldering them to an area of copper on the printed circuit board (TBA
810 S - fig. 13).

Fig. 14a and 14b show two ways that can be used for mounting the device.
Fig. 14a shows a method of mounting the TBA 810 S, that is satisfactory both from the point of view
of heat dissipation and from mechanical considerations. For TBA 810 AS the desired thermal resistance           \1
is obtained by fixing the elements shown in fig. 14b, to a suitably dimensioned plate. This plate can also       I
act as a support for the whole printed circuit board; the mechanical stresses do not damage the integrated
circuit. This is firmly fixed to the element, in fig. 14b.

The presence of a thermal limiting circuit offers                          temperature
the following advantages:
1) An overload on the output (even if it is
   permanent). or an above-limit ambient
   temperature can be easily supported.
2) The heat sink can have a smaller factor of
   safety compared with that of a conven-
   tional circuit. There is no device damage in
   the case of too high a junction temperature:
   all that happens is that Po (and therefor
   Ptot ) and Id are reduced (fig. 15).
