Alpine MRX-M110

Anyone know what the part number is for the driver IC's in this ?

All of the outputs are shorted IRFB5615

The drivers IC's are marked

ANAVIEW.COM C1
047P
C B6W5

They are a 16 pin IC and there are 2 of them Not sue on the part number for theese

Anyone know what the part number is or what replacement IC'S will work in this amp?
 
This amp uses 8 outputs 3 were defective out of. 8

I removed the 3 defective ones and tested the remaining 5 for shorts or leaking..

All tested good I checked all resistors and solder connections all seem fine

I put the. 5 back in the amp and powers it up and it keeps blowing outputs so I'm assuming the driver ic's are defective
 
Using a current limiter and having the FETs clamped should have prevented blowing the FETs.

Pacparts doesn't have the ICs listed. Contact them to get a price. If they're expensive, I'd spend time checking the ICs more thoroughly (finding the high and low-side supply pins and checking continuity between those pins and the corresponding output pins for the IC).

I've also seen FETs (that were in an amp where other FETs failed) check OK with a meter but fail when driven at high frequency. If the ICs are expensive and they check OK after you find the pins listed above, I'd try a set of new FETs.
 
PacParts sells what looks to be the driver IC for nearly $28 USD plus shipping.

Assuming it's similar to the MRV-M500's I've been fixing- you can expect a bad driver IC on any bank with failed outputs in addition to bad resistors, transistors and maybe even a diode between the drive IC and outputs. I've had two with failed 12v zener diodes that kept the low side drive pulled low even with a good IC.

If it's not similar, feel free to disregard all of the above. I couldn't find any pictures or drawings to compare with.

I got this same amp doing the exact same thing as this thread is listing. I have a service manual for an MRX-M100 which appears to be relatively the same. That diagram you've posted is similar to what I have.

I'm also finding three outputs that are short. The driver IC's are suspect as the service manual I have lists all the voltages for all the pins and what I've got for outputs on the pins are massively out of spec.

The whole thing is SMD and a lot of the parts are soo small. My next step at this point is to inject audio and start following it. I'm just wondering at this point for this threads repair, which sections of the amp needed the most attention. FETS, drivers, gate resistors, and ?

However, I will check the zener diodes between the driver section and the outputs.
