TPA6211A1 output short circuit protection

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPA6211A1

We would like use the TPA6211 in our application. So now I have one question:

Is the TPA6211 protected (thermal or over curent) against output short circuit.

Thanks a lot.

 

 

  • Hello Torsten:

    The TPA6211A1 is an analog power amplifier (as contrasted with a Class D power amplifier) and will not be damaged by shorting its outputs together or each output to ground.

    What happens in the case of our analog power amplifiers is that the temperature of the amplifier will rise to the thermal protection trip point (~150'C) and the amplifier will shutdown so that it will not be damaged.

    Regards,

    Fred
