Electronic – What does “6 V stop-start applications” mean

terminology

I read the following in the NXP TDF8530 leaflet:

this ultra-efficient device supports 6 V stop-start applications and delivers
audiophile sound quality

What does that "6 V stop-start applications" mean?

Best Answer

What it actually says is "... is an ultra-efficient, quad-channel Class-D audio amplifier that supports the 6 V requirement for start-stop vehicles."

Vehicles that stop and restart their engines for short periods of time (e.g., at stoplights) can experience power bus sags. What this brochure is saying is that this chip will be well-behaved even if the power supply sags as low as 6V.
