Saving space and cost in eCall and Telematics systems.
The FDA803S / FDA903S, using a compact 5x5 mm QFN slug-down package, are the perfect fit for platforms that require an audio channel to reproduce human voice, sound or warning messages, in an extremely compact, heatsink-less solution. They also embed an advanced speaker diagnostic matrix, that helps user to comply with automotive standards.
The additional low sampling rate frequencies (from 8kHz up to 32kHz) make FDA803S / FDA903S suitable for Telematics, requiring less memory occupation, reducing the overall system’s cost.
To control loudspeaker misconnections, a full-load diagnostic algorithm performs standard diagnostic checks even when in Play mode.
Moreover, the FDA903S, integrating a digital admittance meter and real-time load-current, is aligned with the most advanced audio amplifiers safety standards supporting ASIL A system compliance.
