The maximum power supply voltage for the TDA2030AH is 36V, but it's recommended to operate it between 12V to 24V for optimal performance.
To ensure the TDA2030AH operates within its SOA, make sure to keep the output power below 14W, the output current below 3.5A, and the junction temperature below 150°C.
The recommended heatsink size for the TDA2030AH depends on the application and ambient temperature. A minimum of 10°C/W thermal resistance is recommended, which translates to a heatsink size of around 20mm x 20mm x 10mm.
No, the TDA2030AH is not designed to be used as a bridge amplifier. It's a single-ended amplifier and should be used in a single-ended configuration.
To protect the TDA2030AH from output overvoltage, use a voltage clamp circuit or a zener diode in parallel with the output to limit the voltage to a safe value.
