4 Control and Readout specification

4.1 Control pins

Mute – When muting the S-PRO2 module, the amplifier outputs will be disabled. It typically takes 1 ms to
disable and only 2 ms to enable the amplifier. The mute function may be used with an external wake-on-
music circuitry to lower the mains power consumption when the module is unused, but still with the module
ready to play in typically 2 ms – making it unnoticeable for the user.

Standby – With the S-PRO2 module in standby the mains power consumption is put to a minimum. In
standby it is possible to comply to the ErP (1275/2008/EC) with a total power consumption of less than 0.5W.
This includes a current draw of up to 25 mA on the +7.5V supply for external standby control circuitry.

4Ω BTL Mode – Out-of-the-box the S-PRO2 module is optimized for loads from 4 ohm SE (8 ohm BTL) and
up. Still it is possible to use the S-PRO2 module with a 4Ω speaker in BTL operation by setting the module
into “4Ω BTL Mode”.

Temp/Vac select – By toggling the Temp/Vac select pin it is possible to read both the mains voltage and
amplifier temperature real-time. By default the amplifier temperature is selected.

4.2 Readouts
The S-PRO2 has various readouts to monitor the state of the module.

• Amplifier temperature or mains voltage readout – By toggling a control-pin, both mains voltage
and amplifier temperature can be read real-time.

o Amplifier temperature – The output stage temperature from 0-100° is expressed as a DC

voltage from 0-3.3V. When the module enters thermal protection at 85° equivalent to 2.805V
the voltage will jump to 3.3 V indicating thermal protection is active. This makes it possible to
both read the live temperature and read when the module is disabled due to thermal
protection. The module exits thermal protection when the temperature drops below 80° and
the voltage will return to a live readout of the actual module temperature.

o Mains voltage – The AC mains voltage from 85-265VAC is expressed as a DC voltage from
0-3.3V. This readout may be used to adjust external limiters to match the mains voltage
dependent output power.

• Amplifier Output Voltage readout – There are two amplifier output voltage readouts - one for each
channel. These readouts are voltage divisions of the output signals in the range of ±10 Vp
corresponding to ±70Vp at the output. This may be used for signal presence indication.

• Amplifier Clip readout – There are two amplifier clip readouts - one for each channel. These
readouts are open-collector outputs. The readout pins will be pulled low if the audio output voltage
becomes too high, compared to the internal rail voltages, or if the amplifier reaches internal current
protection. These readouts may be used for signal clip/limiting indications.

• Disable/Protect readout – This readout is an open-collector output which will be pulled low when
the module is either muted or has entered an internal protection.

For further details see the S-PRO2 Application Manual.

S-PRO2 Datasheet v. 1.20 Page 10 of 12

5 Protection features
The S-PRO2 has built-in protection features which protect the module and speaker from malfunctioning.

• Clip limiter – The clip limiter prevents excessive clipping of the output stage by limiting the input
signal.

• Temperature – Temperature protection of the power supply and amplifiers is implemented to

prevent the module from thermal runaway. When thermal protection is engaged both amplifiers are
muted until the temperature has dropped 5°C.

• Over Current – If an amplifier output is shorted or reaches its current limit, the built-in clip limiter will
try to limit the input signal. If the limiter isn’t capable of limiting the signal the module will enter over-
current protection and mute the outputs until the over-current is no longer present and the internal
protection timing allows the module to re-enable.

• DC Protection – In case of a DC at one of the outputs the amplifiers are first muted. If the DC is still
present, after 3 cycles, the module is switched off and requires an AC re-cycling to reset.

• HF Protection – A high frequency protection is implemented in order to protect the output filter
components from overload above 35 kHz. If a high frequency signal is present for a longer period of
time the module will enter HF protection and mute the outputs until the high frequency signal is no
longer present and the internal protection timing allows the module to re-enable.

For further details see the S-PRO2 Application Manual.
