Innovative Start/Stop-Compatible Amplifier for Clearer Sound in Cleaner Cars

Geneva, October 7, 2013 – STMicroelectronics’ TDA7802 is the first automotive start/stop-compatible audio power amplifier to combine the performance and cost benefits of a digital input with the simplicity and enhanced efficiency of analog class SB-I amplification.

The TDA7802 extends ST’s family of ‘green power’ products specially designed to support advanced technologies for cleaner cars, such as start/stop (micro-hybrid), which reduces emissions by cutting the engine instead of idling. The TDA7802 operates seamlessly even when its supply voltage drops as the engine restarts. Its digital input connects … Read More → "Innovative Start/Stop-Compatible Amplifier for Clearer Sound in Cleaner Cars"
