Preliminary data sheet
13.5 Heatsink requirements
If two or more class-D amplifiers are used in the same audio application, it is strongly
recommended that all devices run at the same switching frequency. This can be realized
by connecting all OSC pins together and feed them from an external central oscillator.
Using an external oscillator it is necessary to force pin OSC to a DC-level above SGND for
switching from the internal to an external oscillator. In this case the internal oscillator is
disabled and the PWM will be switched on the external frequency. The frequency range of
the external oscillator must be in the range as specified in the switching characteristics;

In an application circuit:
In some applications it may be necessary to connect an external heatsink to the
TDA8920B. Limiting factor is the 150 C maximum junction temperature T
cannot be exceeded. The expression below shows the relationship between the maximum
allowable power dissipation and the total thermal resistance from junction to ambient:
