🌐 You can read this article in: Português | Español

Hello, electronics enthusiasts!

The TDA7386 four-output integrated circuit is a class AB amplifier rated at 180W RMS "unbalanced power supply" in a single package with few external components.

This audio amplifier is designed for Sony®, Kenwood®, Pioneer® and other high performance car radios.

⚙️ TDA7386 Features

• High output power capacity:
• 4 x 45W / 4Ω max.
• 4 x 28W / 4Ω @ 14.4V, 1KHz, 10%.
• 4 x 24W / 4Ω @ 13.2V, 1KHz, 10%
• Low distortion
• Low output noise
• Stand-by function
• Mute function
• Auto- mute function when minimum supply voltage is detected
• Low number of external components:
• Internal fixed gain (26dB)
• No external compensation
• No bootstrap capacitors

Based on the TDA7386 IC, it is also ideal for use in home studio amplifiers, computers with quadraphonic sound cards such as SoundBlaster Live! Creative Labs Inc. or MosterSound Diamond Multimedia / S3, Active Box, home theater, etc...

Each channel of the TDA7386 provides 45W RMS with a sufficient power of 14.4 volts, at a load of 4 ohms and a distortion factor of about 10%.

⚡Power supplies

For lovers of amplifiers with IC, it is best to have a simple power supply, because many have simple variable test bench sources that make testing much easier, in addition to an audio amplifier power for the car, we will necessarily have the simple power supply.

Since this amplifier operates at low voltage, the consumption is quite high. According to Ohm's law, we can calculate this current as follows, using the formula.

P = V * I

Where;

• P = power, V = voltage, I = current.

Soon;

• I = P / V
• I = 180/14.4
• I = 12.5 A

Due to the high current consumption indicated in the above formula, the connections to ground and to the power supply must be made with extreme care.

In car radios, the heat sink is small, but it is in contact with the radio housing, which is made of metal, which greatly facilitates heat dissipation.

For home amplifiers, which are usually in constant use, a good heat sink should be used. "It depends on how you are going to use it," you say, putting a cooler on the heatsink like the ones used in ATX computers.
