TDA2003A
10 W car radio audio amplifier
Datasheet production data
Features
Improved performance over the TDA2002 (pin-
to-pin compatible)
Very low number of external components
Ease of assembly
Cost and space savings
Description
The TDA2003A is capable of providing a high
output current (up to 3.5 A) with very low
harmonic and crossover distortion.
Completely safe operation is guaranteed due to
DC and AC short-circuit protection between all
pins and ground, a thermal limiting circuit, load
dump voltage surge protection up to 40 V and
protection diodes in case of accidental open
ground.

3 Application information
Figure 20. Typical application circuit
Figure 21. Printed circuit board and component layout for typical application circuit
3.1 Built-in protection systems
3.1.1 Load dump voltage surge
The TDA2003A has a circuit which enables it to withstand a voltage pulse train, on pin 5, of
the type shown in Figure 23.
If the supply voltage peaks to more than 40 V, then an LC filter must be inserted between
the supply and pin 5, in order to ensure that the pulses at pin 5 will be held within the limits
shown in Figure 22.
A recommended LC network is shown in Figure 23. With this network, a train of pulses with
amplitude up to 120 V and width of 2 ms can be applied at point A.
This type of protection is ON when the supply voltage (pulsed or DC) exceeds 18 V. For this
reason the maximum operating supply voltage is 18 V.
TDA2003A Application information
Doc ID 018796 Rev 4 13/19
Figure 22. Voltage gain bridge configuration
Figure 23. Suggested LC network circuit
3.1.2 Short-circuit (AC and DC conditions)
The TDA2003A can withstand a permanent short-circuit on the output for a supply voltage
up to 16 V.
3.1.3 Polarity inversion
High current (up to 5 A) can be handled by the device with no damage for a longer period
than the blow-out time of a quick 1 A fuse (normally connected in series with the supply).
This feature is added to avoid destruction if, during fitting to the car, a mistake on the
connection of the supply is made.
3.1.4 Open ground
When the radio is in the ON condition and the ground is accidentally opened, a standard
audio amplifier will be damaged. On the TDA2003A, protection diodes are included to avoid
any damage.
3.1.5 Inductive load
A protection diode is provided between pin 4 and 5 (see the internal schematic diagram) to
allow use of the TDA2003A with inductive loads. In particular, the TDA2003A can drive a
coupling transformer for audio modulation.
3.1.6 DC voltage
The maximum operating DC voltage on the TDA2003A is 18 V, however the device can
withstand a DC voltage up to 28 V with no damage. This could occur during winter if two
batteries were connected in series to crank the engine.
Application information TDA2003A
14/19 Doc ID 018796 Rev 4
3.1.7 Thermal shutdown
The presence of a thermal limiting circuit offers the following advantages:
1. An overload on the output (even if it is permanent), or an excessive ambient
temperature can be easily withstood.
2. The heatsink can have a smaller factor compared with that of a conventional circuit.
There is no damage to the device in the case of excessive junction temperature: only
Po (and therefore Ptot) and Id are reduced.
3.2 Practical considerations
3.2.1 Printed circuit board
The layout shown in Figure 21 is recommended. If different layouts are used, the ground
points of input 1 and input 2 must be well decoupled from the ground of the output through
which a rather high current flows.
3.2.2 Assembly recommendations
No electrical insulation is required between the package and the heatsink. Pin length should
be as short as possible. The soldering temperature must not exceed 260 °C for 12 seconds.

Figure 20. Different values can be used. The following table is intended to aid the car-radio
