BIASING AND SVR
As shown by fig. 11, all the TDA7385’s main sec-
tions, such as INPUTS, OUTPUTS AND AC-GND
(pin 16) are internally biased at half Supply Volt-
age level (Vs/2), which is derived from the Supply
Voltage Rejection (SVR) block. In this way no cur-
rent flows through the internal feedback network.
The AC-GND is common to all the 4 amplifiers
and represents the connection point of all the in-
verting inputs.
Both individual inputs and AC-GND are con-
nected to Vs/2 (SVR) by means of 100KΩ resis-
tors.

To ensure proper operation and high supply volt-
age rejection, it is of fundamental importance to
provide a good impedance matching between IN-
PUTS and AC-GROUND terminations. This im-
plies that C1, C2, C3, C4, C5 CAPACITORS HAVE
TO CARRY THE SAME NOMINAL VALUE AND
THEIR TOLERANCE SHOULD NEVER EXCEED
±10 %.
Besides its contribution to the ripple rejection, the
SVR capacitor governs the turn ON/OFF time se-
quence and, consequently, plays an essential role
in the pop optimization during ON/OFF transients.
To conveniently serve both needs, ITS MINIMUM
RECOMMENDED VALUE IS 10µF.
