TDA1554Q Features
Firstly, it is easy to use because of its flexible leads, and it can work in a bridge-tied load (BTL) configuration or a quad single-ended configuration.
Additionally, it also has a mute/standby feature, and each of its identical amplifiers has a set gain of 20dB and 26dB in a BTL circuit configuration.
Other basic features are;
- Firstly, it has high output power and load dump protection.
- Secondly, A Low offset voltage at outputs is essential for BTL settings.
- Also, the circuit design is safe from reverse polarity and electrostatic discharge.
- Fourthly, it has thermal protection and low thermal resistance to handle heat production in the circuit.
- Lastly, an input impedance of 50kΩ to 50kΩ.
How to use the TDA1554Q Amplifier
The integrated circuit can work as a 2*22-watt amplifier, as shown in the circuit diagram below. The circuit configuration is also known as a BTL audio stereo.
TDA1554Q is a bridge amplifier circuit
Remember that the circuit produces heat; therefore, it is necessary to have a good heatsink for optimal functioning.
The ideal operational voltage of the circuit is 12V and a current of 5 amps, hence making it suitable for a mini amplifier.
Additionally, each speaker connects two half-bridge MOSFETS that can work with an 11-15V power supply voltage.
