With the built in temp comp diodes, 1 silicon in the N type and 5 Schotky in the P and mirror-reversed pinning . Owner put a short across one speaker line, magic smoke but other channel is normal. Internal emitter resistor .22R of the p type is now not .22R. I intend removing both , of the failed channel , to check out of circuit, but anyone jumpered in an external .2R in these circumstances and no further problems from cracked die etc as this R is part of the die? The datasheet I think , in fractured English, says the thermal safe operating over-current zone, for the built in .22R is deliberately lower than the Darlington itself. Anyone ever disentangled the "English" referring to deliberately? destroying the internal R so as to use an external emitter R,or is it just referring to doubling-up ? datasheet
