Application note
Airflow inside enclosure
At a set level the airflow inside the enclosure will be limited compared to the situation in
free air natural convection. The airflow and other heat sources close to the amplifier will
influence the temperature significantly. Therefore it is always recommended (and the
responsibility of the set maker) to check the temperature behavior in the final environment
of the amplifier.
Remark: The TDA8932B/33(B) amplifier with the thermal foldback feature will never
cause audio interruption (audio holes) due to the limited airflow and the limited presence
of other heat sources close to the amplifier. Therefore this thermal foldback feature will
improve the reliable of the amplifier application under extreme temperature conditions
because the device itself will always stay within the Safe Operating Area (SOA).
Thermal resistance
Measured thermal resistance of both the SO32 and the HTSSOP32 reference design can
be found in
Thermal via’s
Thermal via’s should be applied for an optimum heat flow to other layers of the PCB to
reduce the R

Remark: Do not use via’s with web construction, as they will have a high thermal
resistance.

a function of time, when the TF becomes active. The major benefit of the TF feature is that
the amplifier is not switched off when it reaches the maximum junction temperature.
Remark: Lifetime is guaranteed because the TDA8932B/33(B) stays within the safe
operating area due to the TF feature.
