Descriptions:The TDA2030 is a monolithic integrated circuit in Pentawatt package, intended for use as a lowfrequency class AB amplifier. Typically it provides14W output power (d = 0.5%) at 14V/4Ω; at±14V the guaranteed output power is 12W on a 4Ω loadand 8W on a 8Ω(DIN45500).The TDA2030 provides high output current and hasvery low harmonic and cross-over distortion.Further the device incorporates an original (andpatented) short circuit protection system compris-ing an arrangement for automatically limiting thedissipated power so as to keep the working pointof the output transistors within their safe operatingarea. A conventional thermal shut-down system isalso included.
