Among them, the Clipping Detector acts in a way to output a signal as soon as one or
more power transistors start being saturated.
As a result, the clipping-related signal at pin 25 takes the form of pulses, which are perfectly
synchronized with each single clipping event in the music program and reflect the same
duration time (Figure 16). Applications making use of this facility usually operate a
filtering/integration of the pulses train through passive R-C networks and realize a volume
(or tone bass) stepping down in association with microprocessor-driven audioprocessors.
The maximum load that pin 25 can sustain is 1 kΩ.
Due to its operating principles, the clipping detector has to be viewed mainly as a power-
dependent feature rather than frequency-dependent. This means that clipping state will be
immediately signaled out whenever a fixed power level is reached, regardless of the audio
frequency. In other words, this feature offers the means to counteract the extremely sound-
damaging effects of clipping, caused by a sudden increase of odd order harmonics and
appearance of serious inter-modulation phenomena.

Another possible kind of distortion control could be the setting of a maximum allowable THD
limit (e.g. 0.5%) over the entire audio frequency range. Besides offering no practical
advantages, this procedure cannot be much accurate, as the non-clipping distortion is likely
to vary over frequency.
In case of Overheating, pin 25 will signal out the junction temperature proximity to the
thermal shut-down threshold. This will typically start about 2°C before the thermal shut-
down threshold is reached.
As various kind of diagnostics information is available at pin 25 (clipping, shorts and
overheating), it may be necessary to operate some distinctions on order to treat each event
separately. This could be achieved by taking into account the intrinsically different timing of
the diagnostics output under each circumstance.
In fact, clipping will produce pulses normally much shorter than those present under faulty
conditions. An example of circuit able to distinguish between the two occurrences is shown
by Figure 18.
Pin 1, which is mechanically attached to the device’s tab, needs to be tied to the cleanest
power ground point in the pc-board, which is generally near the supply filtering capacitors.
