TDA5145T datasheet by Philips Semiconductors

TDA5145T Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for the TDA5145T?
  The recommended operating voltage range for the TDA5145T is 4.5V to 18V, although it can operate up to 20V with reduced performance.
• How do I ensure stable operation of the TDA5145T in high-temperature environments?
  To ensure stable operation in high-temperature environments, it is recommended to use a heat sink with a thermal resistance of less than 10°C/W and to keep the junction temperature below 150°C.
• What is the maximum power dissipation of the TDA5145T?
  The maximum power dissipation of the TDA5145T is 2.5W, but this can be increased to 4W with proper heat sinking.
• How do I protect the TDA5145T from electrostatic discharge (ESD)?
  To protect the TDA5145T from ESD, it is recommended to use ESD protection devices such as diodes or resistors on the input and output pins, and to handle the device with an anti-static wrist strap or mat.
• What is the recommended layout and routing for the TDA5145T?
  The recommended layout and routing for the TDA5145T involves keeping the input and output traces short and separate, using a ground plane, and avoiding vias and right-angle bends in the signal traces.
