The SY2A54508 is a high efficiency mono Class-D audio power amplifier for automotive emergency call (e-Call), telematics, instrument cluster and acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS) applications. It can output 8W into 4Ω load at less than 0.1% THD+N from a 14.4V supply. The product can operate on a wide voltage range with battery supply. The adjustable power limit function allows user to set a virtual voltage rail lower than supply voltage to limit the amount of current through the speaker. Output DC detection circuit prevents speaker damage from long-time current stress if the input capacitors are damaged or shorts exist on the inputs.

The SY2A54508 can drive a mono speaker as low as 2Ω. The high efficiency of the amplifier allows eliminating an external heat sink when playing music.

Over current protection can protect amplifier from output short to GND, PVDD, and output-to-output. The over current protection, DC protection and over temperature protection includes an auto-recovery feature. The amplifier also has built-in load diagnostic function designed for detecting the status of output connections at start. It supports the following diagnostics: speaker wire shorted to GND or PVDD, speaker cross-shorted and speaker open. The diagnostics result is reported by I²C registers and FAULTZ pin.

The SY2A54508 is available in a compact TSSOP16E package.
