Description
The TDA2040 is a monolithic integrated circuit in
the Pentawatt

package, intended for use as an

audio class-AB amplifier. Typically, it provides
25 W output power into 4 with THD = 0.5% at
V
S
= 34 V. The TDA2040 provides high output
current and has very low harmonic and crossover
distortion. Furthermore, the device incorporates a
patented short-circuit protection system
comprising an arrangement for automatically
limiting the dissipated power so as to keep the
operating point of the output transistors within
their safe operating range. A thermal shutdown
system is also included.

3.2 Multiway speaker systems and active boxes
Multiway loudspeaker systems provide the best possible acoustic performance since each
loudspeaker is specially designed and optimized to handle a limited range of frequencies.
Commonly, these loudspeaker systems divide the audio spectrum into two, three or four
bands.

To maintain a flat frequency response over the hi-fi audio range the bands covered by each
loudspeaker must overlap slightly. Any imbalance between the loudspeakers produces
unacceptable results, therefore, it is important to ensure that each unit generates the correct
amount of acoustic energy for its segment of the audio spectrum. In this respect it is also
important to know the energy distribution of the music spectrum (see Figure 22) in order to
determine the cutoff frequencies of the crossover filters. As an example, a 100-W three-way
system with crossover frequencies of 400 Hz and 3 kHz would require 50 W for the woofer,
35 W for the midrange unit and 15 W for the tweeter.
Both active and passive filters can be used for crossovers but today active filters cost
significantly less than a good passive filter using air-cored inductors and non-electrolytic
capacitors. In addition, active filters do not suffer from the typical defects of passive filters:
power loss
increased impedance seen by the loudspeaker (lower damping)
difficulty of precise design due to variable loudspeaker impedance
Obviously, active crossovers can only be used if a power amplifier is provided for each drive
unit. This makes it particularly interesting and economically sound to use monolithic power
amplifiers.
In some applications, complex filters are not really necessary and simple RC low-pass and
high-pass networks (6 dB/octave) can be recommended. The results obtained are excellent
because this is the best type of audio filter and the only one free from phase and transient
distortion. The rather poor out-of-band attenuation of single RC filters means that the
loudspeaker must operate linearly well beyond the crossover frequency to avoid distortion.

Figure 23. Active power filter
A more effective solution, named "Active Power Filter" by STMicroelectronics, is shown in
Figure 23. The proposed circuit can be realized by combined power amplifiers and
12-dB/octave or 18-dB/octave high-pass or low-pass filters.
The component values calculated for fc = 900Hz using a Bessel 3rd order Sallen and Key
structure are:
C1 = C2 = C3 = 22 nF
R1 = 8.2 k
R2 = 5.6 k
R3 = 33 k
In the block diagram of Figure 24 is represented an active loudspeaker system completely
realized using power integrated circuit, rather than the traditional discrete transistors on
hybrids, very high quality is obtained by driving the audio spectrum into three bands using
active crossovers (TDA2320A) and a separate amplifier and loudspeakers for each band. A
modern subwoofer/midrange/tweeter solution is used.

3.3 Practical considerations
3.3.1 Printed circuit board
The layout shown in Figure 14 should be adopted by the designers. If different layouts are
used, the ground points of input 1 and input 2 must be well decoupled from the ground
return of the output in which a high current flows.
3.3.2 Assembly suggestion
No electrical isolation is needed between the package and the heatsink with single supply
voltage configuration.
3.3.3 Application suggestions
The recommended values of the components are those shown in the application circuit of
Figure 13. However, if different values are chosen then the following table can be helpful.
