8.4 Supply Voltage Ripple Rejection (SVRR)
The SVRR is measured with an electrolytic capacitor of 10 µF on pin SVR at a
bandwidth of 10 Hz to 80 kHz. Figure 12 on page 11 illustrates the SVRR as function
of the frequency. A larger capacitor value on the SVR pin improves the ripple rejection
behaviour at the lower frequencies.
8.5 Built-in protection circuits
The TDA8945S contains two types of protection circuits, i.e. short-circuit and thermal
shutdown.
8.5.1 Short-circuit protection
Short-circuit to ground or supply line — This is detected by a so-called ‘missing
current’ detection circuit which measures the current in the positive supply line and
the current in the ground line. A difference between both currents larger than 0.7 A,
switches the power stage to standby mode (high impedance).
Short-circuit across the load — This is detected by an absolute-current
measurement. An absolute-current larger than 3 A, switches the power stage to
standby mode (high impedance).
8.5.2 Thermal shutdown protection
The junction temperature is measured by a temperature sensor; at a junction
temperature of approximately 150 °C this detection circuit switches the power stage
to standby mode (high impedance).
