TDF8546ATH/N1,118

Overview

The TDF8546ATH/N1,118 is a complementary quad bridge-tied load audio power amplifier designed for automotive applications. It operates at battery voltages as low as 6 V, supporting stop/start-car functionality without audible disturbance during engine start. The device features a patented best efficiency mode that reduces switching distortion and significantly lowers power dissipation compared to standard BTL configurations. Utilizing a silicon-on-insulator based BCD process with a complementary DMOS output stage, it ensures robust performance, latch-up immunity, and high-power output with excellent sound quality.
