SK-TDA4VM: Observation Regarding TDA4VM Processor Heating Issue

Part Number: SK-TDA4VM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TDA4VM

Tool/software:

We observed that the TDA4VM processor was initially functioning normally, but later began to heat up unexpectedly.

After checking the setup and conditions, it appears the issue may be related to the processor itself. We’re currently looking into this and will provide further updates as we investigate.

Please let us know if you’ve observed anything similar on your side or if there’s additional information that could help with the analysis

  • Yes, we worry about the processor heating. This is certainly the reason for the heat sink on the part.
    If you want a quick answer, try blowing a fan across the board; a little air movement helps all of those fins dissipate the heat.

    Within the device, there are thermal sensors that can be programmed to trigger an interrupt or assert a reset.

    What functional problem are you seeing?
