TDA7496SA

Overview

The TDA7496SA is a dual-channel Class-AB audio power amplifier manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 10V to 32V, delivering up to 5.5W per channel into an 8-ohm load. The device utilizes Clipwatt-15 packaging for through-hole installation and supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrated mute and standby functions for power management
• Built-in protection against short circuits and thermal overload
• Designed to minimize pop noise during turn-on and turn-off transitions

Applications

• Television audio systems
• Satellite receiver amplification
• General-purpose stereo speaker driving

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity as the TDA7496SA is marked as obsolete with a discontinuation date of January 18, 2022. Confirm package integrity and pin alignment upon receipt, as standard manufacturing practices may vary across production batches. Ensure compatibility with existing circuit designs before procurement due to end-of-life status.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust Class-AB performance in single-supply environments. It is suitable for designs needing integrated thermal and short-circuit protection without external bootstrap components. Consider alternative active models if long-term supply stability is required for new product development.

Part Context

This part belongs to the TDA7496 family of audio amplifiers. It shares pin compatibility with related variants such as the TDA7496S, TDA7495, and TDA7494 series. The technology leverages MultiPower BI50II processes to achieve high output power within a compact Clipwatt-15 footprint.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Due to the obsolete status, engineers should evaluate newer STMicroelectronics Class-AB or Class-D alternatives that offer similar pinouts and power specifications.
