maximum allowable power dissipation for a given heatsink size can be derived, or the
required heatsink size can be determined, at a required power dissipation level; see

In a typical stereo single-ended configuration, the TDA8920C is supplied by a symmetrical
supply voltage (e.g. V
configuration, a ‘pumping effect’ can occur. During one switching interval, energy is taken
from one supply (e.g. V
(e.g. V
across the output capacitors of that voltage supply source increases and the supply
voltage is pumped to higher levels. The voltage increase caused by the pumping effect
depends on:
Pumping effects should be minimized to prevent the malfunctioning of the audio amplifier
and/or the voltage supply source. Amplifier malfunction due to the pumping effect can
trigger UVP, OVP or UBP.

The audio signal has a crest factor of 10 (the ratio between peak power and average
power (20 dB)); this means that the average output power is
Thus, the peak RMS output power level is the 0.5 % THD level, i.e. 170 W.
The average power is then
The dissipated power at an output power of 17 W is approximately 7 W.
