STA515WJ13TR

Overview

The STA515WJ13TR is a monolithic quad half-bridge stage manufactured by STMicroelectronics using Multipower BCD technology. It operates within a DC supply voltage range of 10 V to 36 V and supports an ambient temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C. The device features complementary DMOS output stages with a typical RdsON of 200 mΩ. It provides protection against thermal overload, short circuits, and undervoltage conditions.

Feature Summary

• Multipower BCD technology for high-efficiency power delivery
• CMOS-compatible logic inputs with threshold proportional to VL
• Integrated thermal warning and fault advisory outputs
• Configurable parallel-output mode for increased current capability

Applications

• Output stage for stereo all-digital high-efficiency amplifiers
• Dual bridge configurations for audio systems
• Single bridge reconfiguration with double-current capability
• DDX and binary-logic-controlled PWM signal conversion

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix 'J13' against official manufacturer documentation, as standard datasheets reference 'STA515W13TR'. Confirm package type PowerSSO36 EPD and environmental compliance status. Ensure design accounts for specific thermal resistance and operating voltage limits defined in the electrical characteristics tables.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a quad half-bridge driver with low input/output pulse width distortion. Consider the 200 mΩ RdsON for efficiency calculations. Evaluate the need for parallel-output configuration via the CONFIG pin if higher current drive into lower impedance loads is required. Verify compatibility with DDX or binary modulation schemes.

Part Context

The STA515W belongs to STMicroelectronics' line of power management ICs specifically designed for motor and motion control drivers. It utilizes Multipower BCD technology to integrate high-voltage DMOS components with CMOS logic on a single chip, enabling compact designs for digital audio amplifier output stages.

Replacement Considerations

Official datasheet references the order code STA515W13TR. Verify functional equivalence and pinout compatibility before substituting.
