GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA8580J is a stereo Bridge-Tied Load (BTL) or a quad Single-Ended (SE) amplifier that operates over a wide supply voltage range from 8 to 24 V. This makes it suitable for applications such as television, home-sound systems and active speakers.

FEATURES
General
• Supply voltage range from 8 to 24 V
• Low distortion
• Few external components, fixed gain
• High output power
• Can be used as a stereo amplifier in Bridge-Tied Load (BTL) or quad Single-Ended (SE) amplifiers
• Single-ended mode without loudspeaker capacitor
• Mute and standby mode with one- or two-pin operation
• Diagnostic information for Dynamic Distortion Detector (DDD), high temperature (145 °C) and short-circuit
• No switch on/off plops when switching between standby and mute or mute and on; an external RC-network is prescribed to ensure plop-free operation
• Low offset variation at outputs between mute and on
• Fast mute on supply voltage drops.

Protection
• Short-circuit proof to ground, positive supply voltage and across load; the supply voltage ranges where the different short circuit conditions are guaranteed are given in Chapter “Limiting values”
• ESD protected on all pins
• Thermal protection against temperatures exceeding 150°C.
