1. General description
The TDA8592J is a complementary quad BTL audio power amplifier made in BCDMOS
technology. It contains four independent amplifiers in Bridge Tied Load (BTL)
configuration. Through the I
2
C-bus, the diagnostic information of each amplifier and
speaker can be read separately.
Both front and both rear channel amplifiers can be configured independently in line driver
mode with a gain of 20 dB.

7. Functional description
The TDA8592J is an audio power amplifier with four independent amplifiers configured in
Bridge Tied Load (BTL) with diagnostic capability. The amplifier diagnostic functions give
information about output offset, load, or short-circuit. Diagnostic functions are controlled
via the I
2
C-bus. The TDA8592J is protected against short-circuit, over-temperature, open
ground and open V
P
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
2
C-bus to prevent any noise generated by the fault condition
from being heard.
7.1 Start-up
When pin STB is LOW, the total quiescent current is low and the I
2
C-bus lines are
high-impedance.
When pin STB is HIGH, the I
2
C-bus is biased and then the TDA8592J performs a
power-on reset. When bit D0 of instruction byte IB1 is set, the amplifier is activated, bit D7
of data byte 2 (power-on reset occurred) is reset, and pin DIAG is no longer held LOW.
