Power Amplifier with voltage regulator 4 × 50 Watt TDA8588


Power Amplifier with voltage regulator 4 × 50 Watt TDA8588
   The TDA8588 is a multiple voltage regulator combined with four independent audio power amplifiers configured in bridge tied load with diagnostic capability. The output voltages of all regulators except regulators 2 and 3 can be controlled via the I2C-bus. However, regulator 3 can be set to 0 V via the I2C-bus. The output voltage of regulator 2 (microcontroller supply) and the maximum output voltage of regulator 3 (mechanical digital and microcontroller supplies) can both be either 5 V or 3.3 V depending on the type number. The maximum output voltages of both regulators are fixed to avoid any risk of damaging the microcontroller that may occur during a disturbance of the I 2C-bus. The amplifier diagnostic functions give information about output offset, load, or short-circuit. Diagnostic functions are controlled via the I2C-bus. The TDA8588 is protected against short-circuit, over-temperature, open ground and open VP connections. If a short-circuit occurs at the input or output of a single amplifier, that channel shuts down, and the other channels continue to operate normally. The channel that has a short-circuit can be disabled by the microcontroller via the appropriate enable bit of the I 2C-bus to prevent any noise generated by the fault condition from being heard.
Speaker protection
    If one side of a speaker is connected to ground, a missing current protection is implemented to prevent damage to the speaker. A fault condition is detected in a channel when there is a mismatch between the power current in the high side and the power current in the low side; during a fault condition the channel will be switched off. The load status of each channel can be read via the I 2C-bus: short to ground (one side of the speaker connected to ground), short to VP (one side of the speaker connected to VP), and shorted load.

Muting 
    A hard mute and a soft mute can both be performed via the I 2C-bus. A hard mute mutes the amplifier within 0.5 ms. A soft mute mutes the amplifier within 20 ms and is less audible. A hard mute is also activated if a voltage of 8 V is applied to pin STB. 

Temperature protection 
     If the average junction temperature rises to a temperature value that has been set via the I2C-bus, a thermal protection pre-warning is activated making pin DIAG LOW. If the temperature continues to rise, all four channels will be muted to reduce the output power (soft thermal clipping). The value at which the temperature mute control activates is fixed; only the temperature at which the thermal protection pre-warning signal occurs can be specified by bit D4 in instruction byte 3. If implementing the temperature mute control does not reduce the average junction temperature, all the power stages will be switched off (muted) at the absolute maximum temperature Tj(max)

Digital Voltmeter Circuit with ICL7107

Description. The circuit given here is of a very useful and accurate digital voltmeter with LED display using the ICL7107 from Intersil. The ICL7107 is a high performance, low power, 3.5 digit analog to digital converter. The IC includes internal circuitry for seven segment decoders, display drivers, reference voltage source and a clock. The power dissipation is less than 10mW and the display stability is very high. The working of this electronic circuit is very simple. The voltage to be measured is converted into a digital equivalent by the ADC inside the IC and then this digital equivalent is decoded to the seven segment format and then displayed. The ADC used in ICL7107 is dual slope type ADC. The process taking place inside our ADC can be stated as follows. For a fixed period of time the voltage to be measured is integrated to obtain a ramp at the output of the integrator. Then a known reference voltage of opposite polarity is applied to the input of the integrator and allowed to r...

Electronic Extended Play Circuit Diagram

This is a Electronic Extended Play Circuit Diagram. A single op amp-one of four contained in the popular LM324-is operating in a variable pulse width, free-running square wave oscillator circuit, with its timed output driving two transistors that control the on/ off cycle of the tape-drive motor. The Oscillator` s positive feedback path holds the secret to the successful operation of the variable on/ off timing signal.   Electronic Extended Play Circuit Diagram The two diodes and pulse width potentiometer R8 allows the setting of the on and off time, without affecting the oscillator`s operating frequency. One diode allows only the discharge current to flow through it and the section of R8 that it`s connected to. The other diode, and its portion of R8, sets the charge time for the timing capacitor, C3. Since the recorder`s speed is controlled by the precise off/on timing of the oscillator, a simple voltage-regulator circuit (Ql, R3, and D4) is included.  Connecting the spe...
