Overview
Four-Channel 50W BTL Power Amplifier
for Car Stereo Systems
The LA47516 is a four-channel 50W BTL power amplifier IC for car stereo systems. The output stage uses a pure
complementary format with a V-PNP transistor on the upper side and an NPN transistor on the lower side, making it
possible to obtain high power output and excellent sound quality.
This IC features an extensive set of functions required in car audio systems, including a standby switch, muting function,
and a full complement of protection circuits.

Usage Notes
Note 1 : This IC must not be connected incorrectly. Incorrect connection can lead to damage to or destruction of the IC.
Note 2 : The protection circuits can temporarily prevent damage to the IC from abnormal states such as incorrect output line connections,
but they cannot guarantee that the IC will not be destroyed.
In particular, these protection circuits do not function outside the guaranteed operating ranges, and incorrect connection of the
outputs can lead to destruction of the IC.

Note : Power consumption (Pd), junction-to-case thermal resistance (θj-c), heat sink thermal resistance (θf), junction
temperature (Tj), case temperature (Tc), and ambient temperature (Ta) have the relationship shown in the
following equation.
Tj = Pd (θj-c+θf) +Ta
= Pd×θj-c+Tc,
*Tc = Pd×θf+Ta However, Tj max is limited by Tstg max (150°C).

Description of Operation
1. Standby switch function (pin 4)
The pin 4 threshold voltage is set to 2VBE; the amplifier turns on when Vst = 2.0V or higher, and off when Vst = 0.7V
or lower. Note that pin 4 requires an operating current of 40µA or higher.
Note : Do not ground the output with the Pin 4 voltage at approximately 1.4V. In addition, do not give the Pin 4
voltage a time constant.
2. Muting function
The audio can be muted by connecting pin 22 to ground through a 10kΩ resistance. This sets the IC to the muted state.
The mute time constant is determined by the external capacitor and resistor constants. The recommended external
constants are C = 3.3µF, R = 10kΩ.
3. Oscillation stability
Parasitic oscillation may be induced depending on the board layout.
Countermeasures against oscillation can be taken by adding the following parts.
Note that the following are only examples for reference, and that the optimum capacitance values must be confirmed
in the mounted condition for each set.
•
Connect a Mylar capacitor (0.033µF) between the BTL outputs.
•
Connect a capacitor and a resistor (0.1µF and 2.2Ω in series) between each output and GND.
4. Sound quality (low frequencies)
The frequency response in the low frequency range can be improved by varying the capacitance value of the input
capacitor. The recommended value is 2.2µF or less.
5. Impulse noise
This IC includes a function for preventing impulse noise from appearing in the output. The effect of this function can
be improved by using it in combination with the muting function.
•
When turning on the amplifier, turn the power supply and the mute function on at the same time.
Then turn the mute function off after the output current potential has stabilized.
•
When turning off the amplifier, first turn on the muting function and then turn off the power.
6. Electric mirror noise suppression measures
A capacitor about twice the size of the input capacitors must be used for the capacitor between pins 1 and 25 that is
used to minimize noise from the electrically driven mirror.
In the sample application circuit, a 0.47µF capacitor is used for 0.22µF input capacitors.
Note that the capacitor connected between pins 1 and 25 must be connected to the same pre-ground as the input
capacitors.
