Info thou temperature TPA3122D2

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPA3122D2

good morning to all, I would like to ask for info on the TPA3122D2 in BTL configuration.
I'm currently using the amp for a burglar alarm where I create square wave signals and send it through a pic18Fxx input in a phase-shifted TPA. I inserted the two capacitors in series to decouple and everything works perfectly, except for the temperature.
The gain is set to 36dB for maximum power ... right??
The working voltage is 14V dc.
After about 40 minutes of work, I have the filter coils that reach 80 ° C and the inductance 33uH 4.5A.
The TPA instead arrives, dissipandolo asset, the threshold of TRIP-POINT 150 ° C.
I would like to ask ... where am I doing wrong to get this situation??

The speaker is 4ohm.

Thank you in advance to all who work to solve this my problem.

  • Hi, Ernesto,

    Is your audio signal being interrupted? or does it continuously play?

    -d2

  • the signal is interrupted, but for 1/2 second or so, then resume work. This makes me having made ​​some tests with an ambient temperature of 65 ° inside the container where it is closed. The application is within a trombra neodymium.
    In BTL mode, according to you, 14V, power that I might have?
    Lowering the gain by 36dB, the temperature is expected to fall, but I will have less power output?

    protection off when the output signal has fast times, similar to a bad contact, but I am sure that is the protection because I measured the temperatures
    with the room temperature at the center of the IC will reach 110 ° C.
    Moreover, the two output coils, if the little man, something happens?
    That must withstand current output coils?
