4. Prevention of speaker damage
Note 3: An abnormal DC offset voltage is incurred when the input bias to the power IC is lost due to a leakage
< Speaker damaging scenario >
When the DC resistance between the OUT+ and OUT− pins falls below 1 Ω, the output current exceeds 4 A.
At this time, the protection circuit is activated to limit the current draw into the speaker.
This feature prevents the speaker from being damaged, as follows:
A DC current of over 4 V is applied to the speaker due to an external circuit failure (Note 4).
(Abnormal DC output offset)
The speaker impedance becomes 1 Ω or less due to a layer short.
A current of over 4 A flows into the speaker, damaging the speaker.
current from a coupling capacitor at the input or a short-circuit between the IN and adjacent lines.
Less than 4 A
