Rev. 4 — 23 September 2013
Product data sheet
1. General description
The TDA8579T is a two channel differential amplifier with 0 dB gain and low distortion.
The device has been primarily developed for car radio applications where long
connections between signal sources and amplifiers (or boosters) are necessary and
where ground noise has to be eliminated. The device is intended to be used to receive line
inputs in audio applications that require a high level of common-mode rejection. The
device is contained in an 8-pin Small Outline (SO) package.

7. Functional description
The TDA8579T contains two identical differential amplifiers with a voltage gain of 0 dB.
The device is intended to receive line input signals for audio applications. The TDA8579T
has a very high level of common-mode rejection and thus eliminates ground noise. The
common-mode rejection remains constant up to high frequencies (the amplifier gain is
fixed at 0 dB). The inputs have a high input impedance. The output stage is a class AB
stage with a low output impedance. For a large common-mode rejection, also at low
frequencies, an electrolytic capacitor connected to the negative input is advised. Because
the input impedance is relatively high, this results in a large settling time of the DC input
voltage. Therefore a quick-charge circuit is included to charge the input capacitor within
0.2 seconds.
All input and output pins are protected against high electrostatic discharge conditions
(4000 V, 150 pF, 150
).

The input coupling capacitors set the frequency response externally.
The noise output voltage is measured in a bandwidth of 20 Hz to 20 kHz (unweighted).
The common-mode rejection ratio is measured at the output with a voltage source 1 V (RMS) in
accordance with the test circuit (see
Figure 3).
