APPLICATION SUGGESTION
STAND-BY AND MUTE FUNCTIONS
( s )
(A) Microprocessor Application

u
In order to avoid annoying "Pop-Noise" during Turn-On/Off transients, it is necessary to guarantee the right St- ct
d
by and mute signals sequence. It is quite simple to obtain this function using a microprocessor (Fig. 1 and 2).
o
P r
At first St-by signal (from P) goes high and the voltage across the St-by terminal (Pin 7) starts to increase ex-
ponentially. The external RC network is intended to turn-on slowly the biasing circuits of the amplifier, this to
avoid "POP" and "CLICK" on the outputs.

e t e
When this voltage reaches the St-by threshold level, the amplifier is switched-on and the external capacitors in
series to the input terminals (C3, C5) start to charge.
o l
goes in play mode causing a loud "Pop Noise" on the speakers.
b s
It's necessary to mantain the mute signal low until the capacitors are fully charged, this to avoid that the device

O
A delay of 100-200ms between St-by and mute signals is suitable for a proper operation.

B) Low Cost Application
In low cost applications where the P is not present, the suggested circuit is shown in fig.3.

Ob
The St-by and mute terminals are tied together and they are connected to the supply line via an external voltage
divider.
The device is switched-on/off from the supply line and the external capacitor C4 is intended to delay the St-by
and mute threshold exceeding, avoiding "Popping" problems.

HEAT SINK DIMENSIONING:

In order to avoid the thermal protection intervention, that is placed approximatively at Tj = 150C, it is important
the dimensioning of the Heat Sinker RTh (C/W).
The parameters that influence the dimensioning are:
Maximum dissipated power for the device (Pdmax)
Max thermal resistance Junction to case (RTh j-c)
Max. ambient temperature Tamb max
Quiescent current Iq (mA)

Example:
VCC = 13V, Rload = 8ohm, RTh j-c = 2.5 C/W , Tamb max = 50C

Clipwatt Assembling Suggestions

The suggested mounting method of Clipwatt on external heat sink, requires the use of a clip placed as much
as possible in the plastic body center, as indicated in the example of figure 16.
A thermal grease can be used in order to reduce the additional thermal resistance of the contact between pack-
age and heatsink.
A pressing force of 7 - 10 Kg gives a good contact and the clip must be designed in order to avoid a maximum
contact pressure of 15 Kg/mm2 between it and the plastic body case.
As example , if a 15Kg force is applied by the clip on the package , the clip must have a contact area of 1mm2
at least.
