TIDA-020040 is designed to provide input protection for premium audio systems. This reference design offers customizable functionality while maintaining a small form factor with ideal thermal dissipation. This filter can be used to protect your premium audio amplifiers from the standard transients seen across the automotive industry.
This design uses LM74810-Q1 to detect and respond to over-voltage events, and INA302 to measure current and respond to over-current events. Both of these ICs provide a great level of customization to meet any specific project needs, this includes multi-stage over-current detection for warning lights or delayed transient response, choosing a clamp vs. shut down over-voltage response, and the ability to sense current bidirectionally.
