[sci.electronics] specs for TA7205P

john@frog.UUCP (John Woods) (07/14/90)

Does anyone have the specs for a Toshiba TA7205P?  It is an audio amp chip
used on a board that I am removing parts from.

I tried hounding Toshiba for this datasheet and also the TA7214P which is
the dual amp version. Basically I was passed from division to division
to supplier to division, till finally some Toshiba person recommended
I ring Email Electronics, which was where I was ringing from !!

I gave up in disgust ! Even the service personnel seemed to have difficulty
comprehending what a datasheet was !

I have the "hand traced" circuit I made from the Clarion car deck where the
205P is used, and from that I could work out what most of the pins were.
The TA7205P is supposedly 7.5W. It requires external compensation, bootstrap
capacitor, output coupling capcaitor (delete in a bridge circuit), output
stablisation capacitor, input coupling cap and feedback components. I'm
not sure what the capacitor beween the + rail and the pin next to the 
+ rail was for ? (If you ever find out Please let me know).

Sorry to inflict this tale of woe on you, hope you fare better !

I have a 1987 Toshiba 'AUDIO LINEAR IC'S' (3702D) data book which lists a TA7205AP
5.8W amp, and a TA7241AP 2 x 5.8W amp. I'm not sure about the A suffix,
but this seems like the same device. I can't find it in later data books.
Tandy in the UK will even sell you one, though I don't know about data.

The capacitor attached to pin 2 (shown as 68nF on the application circuit from
Vcc to pin 2, but recommended between pin 2 and ground) is apparently
used to improve PSU ripple rejection. It need not be connected.

This 5.8 watt audio amp has:
Operating voltage - 9-18v
Output impedance -  2-16 ohms
gain - 55 dB
total harmonic distortion- .07%
Cost $3.00 when I last got them. Am not overly crazy about
them though because their performance tends to vary (as do
quite a few Radio Shack parts) 8^) But I just noticed that
the one 7205 chip I still have has Toshiba markings and is
in it's radio shack package.  oh well, good luck.....

The TA7205P crosses to an NTE1155, which is listed as a 5.8 watt audio
power amp for car radios.

Front view, from left to right, pins are
	1 - vcc
	2 - bypass
	3 - bypass
	4 - bypass
	5 - bypass
	6 - input
	7 - rc network
	8 - feedback
	9 - ground
	10- output
there's a notch at the pin-1 end.

There isn't any more info than that in the replacement guide.

The Mouser catalog (800-34-MOUSEr) lists the part at about $11, which is
less than their minimum order of $20.

Hope that helps.

Which has a spec sheet in the Phillips ECG technical manual volume 1.
