1. General description
The TDA8594 is a complementary quad Bridge Tied Load (BTL) audio power amplifier
made in BCDMOS technology. It contains four independent amplifiers in BTL
configuration. Through the I
2
C-bus, diagnosis of temperature warning and clipping level is
fully programmable and the information available via two diagnostic pins is selectable.
The status of each amplifier (output offset, load or no load, short-circuit or speaker
incorrectly connected) can be read separately.

7. Functional description
The TDA8594 is a complementary quad BTL audio power amplifier made in BCDMOS
technology. It contains four independent amplifiers in BTL configuration (see
Figure 1).
Through the I
2
C-bus, the diagnostic functions of temperature level and clip level are fully
programmable and the information to be shown on the two diagnostic pins can be
selected. The status of each amplifier (output offset, load or no load, short-circuit or
speaker incorrectly connected) can be read separately. The TDA8594 is protected against
overvoltage, short-circuit, over-temperature, open ground and open V
P
connections.
Three different I
2
C-bus addresses are selected with an external resistor connected to the
ADSEL pin. If the ADSEL pin is short-circuit to ground, the TDA8594 operates in legacy
mode. In this mode, no I
2
C-bus is needed and the function of the STB pin will change from
two-level (Standby mode and On mode) to a three-level pin (Standby mode, On mode and
mute).
7.1 Input stage
The input stage is a high-impedance pseudo-differential input stage. The negative inputs
of the four channels are combined on the ACGND pin. For the best performance on
supply voltage ripple rejection and pop noise, the capacitor connected to the ACGND pin
must be four times the value of the input capacitor (or as close to the value as possible).
