TDA7560 Introduction
The TDA7560 is a high-performance Class AB audio power amplifier built using advanced BCD (Bipolar, CMOS, DMOS) technology. Packaged in a Flexiwatt 25 format, it is specifically designed to deliver high power for car radio applications, offering exceptional efficiency and reliability.
This amplifier features a fully complementary P-Channel/N-Channel output stage, enabling a rail-to-rail voltage swing. Combined with its high output current capability and minimized saturation losses, the TDA7560 sets a new standard for power delivery in the car audio domain while achieving remarkably low distortion.

TDA7560 Applications
SVR (Supply Voltage Rejection):
The SVR capacitor not only enhances ripple rejection but also optimizes pop noise reduction during ON/OFF transitions. A minimum value of 10 µF is recommended.
Input Stage:
The amplifier's inputs are ground-compatible and can handle high input signals up to ±8 V peak without performance degradation.
Input Capacitors:
Standard 0.1 µF input capacitors result in a low-frequency cut-off of approximately 16 Hz, suitable for high-fidelity audio.
Standby and Muting:
Both functions are CMOS-compatible. A 470 kΩ resistance and RC cells are needed to smooth transitions, ensuring noise-free operation. Standby transitions should not exceed 2.5 V/ms.
DC Offset Detector:
Integrated to prevent dangerous DC offsets that can damage speakers. It requires a 10 kΩ pulldown resistor on the HSD pin for proper operation.
Heatsink Requirements:
Under 4Ω speaker load, typical dissipation is 26 W in worst-case scenarios. To prevent thermal shutdown at 70°C ambient temperature, a heatsink with thermal resistance of 2 °C/W is advised.
TDA7560 Package
The TDA7560's 25-Flexiwatt (Vertical) package is a compact and efficient design. With dimensions of 31.3 mm × 10.2 mm and a vertical mounting style, it saves PCB space while providing excellent thermal dissipation, effectively meeting high-performance requirements. Its heatsink is electrically isolated from the ground, ensuring ease of installation and system integration.
In terms of electrical parameters, this package supports the TDA7560's rail-to-rail output swing and typical power dissipation of up to 26W. Combined with a 4Ω speaker load, the amplifier can deliver up to 50W peak output power in bridge mode, making it an ideal solution for high-power car audio systems.
