In chapter xx.x a description is find for an external circuit that should be used in
order to detect large loudspeakers with a very large selfinductance, like double
voice coil subwoofers of which the coils are used in series.
Note: The load detection circuit has been designed to be used in a production
environment, it was not designed to be used in a permanent diagnostic system.
No guarantees can be given that the detection circuitry will work properly at low
temperatures and low supply voltages.
The following figures show the relationships between the voltages at the three pins:
Figure 4 contains all information about the relationship between the status I/O pin and
the mode select pin. When the amplifier is switched on by means of the mode select
voltage the reference voltage (Vref) at pin 14 will rise gradually to Vp/2. When the status
I/O pin is used as an output, the voltage at this pin will remain low until Vref reaches the
threshold value of …V. When Vref reaches the threshold, the voltage at the status I/O pin
will rise to it’s normal value. As long as the case temperature is below 120
°
C the voltage
at the status I/O will be between Vp-2.5v and Vp. When the case temperature reaches
120
°
C, the status I/O voltage will drop to
2 to 3V. Finally, when the device is muted, the status I/O voltage will be between 0 and
0.5V.
When the status I/O pin is used as an input pin, the device can be forced into class H
operation, class AB operation or fast mute.
