Mono/Stereo High-Power Class D Amplifier

9-38; Rev ; /8 EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE Mono/Stereo High-Power Class D Amplifier General Description The A/B Class D amplifiers provide high-performance, thermally efficient amplifier solutions. The A delivers 2 x W into 8Ω loads, or x 3W into a Ω load. The B delivers 2 x 6W into 8Ω loads or x 2W into a Ω load. These devices are pinfor-pin compatible, allowing a single audio design to work across a broad range of platforms, simplifying design efforts, and reducing PCB inventory. Both devices operate from 8V to 28V and provide a high PSRR, eliminating the need for a regulated power supply. The offers up to 88% efficiency at 2V supply. Pin-selectable modulation schemes select between filterless modulation and classic PWM modulation. Filterless modulation allows the to pass CE EMI limits with m cables using only a low-cost ferrite bead and capacitor on each output. Classic PWM modulation is optimized for best audio performance when using a full LC filter. A pin-selectable stereo/mono mode allows stereo operation into 8Ω loads or mono operation into Ω loads. In mono mode, the right input op amp becomes available as a spare device, allowing flexibility in system design. Comprehensive click-and-pop reduction circuitry minimizes noise coming into and out of shutdown or mute. Input op amps allow the user to create summing amplifiers, lowpass or highpass filters, and select an optimal gain. The A/B are available in 32-pin TQFN packages and specified over the - C to +8 C temperature range.

Detailed Description The A/B filterless, stereo Class D audio power amplifiers offer Class AB performance and Class D efficiency with minimal board space. The A outputs 2xW in stereo mode and 3W in mono mode. The B outputs 2x6W in stereo mode and 2W in mono mode. These devices operate from an 8V to 28V supply range. The features a filterless, spread-spectrum switching mode (MOD = high) or a classic PWM fixedfrequency switching mode (MOD = low). The features externally set gain and a lowpower shutdown mode that reduces supply current to less than µa. Comprehensive click-and-pop circuitry minimizes noise into and out of shutdown or mute. Operating Modes Filterless Modulation/PWM Modulation The features two output modulation schemes, filterless modulation (MOD = high) or classic PWM (MOD = low). Maxim s unique, filterless modulation scheme eliminates the LC filter required by traditional Class D amplifiers, reducing component count, conserving board space, and reducing system cost. Configure for classic PWM output when using a full LC filter. Click-and-pop protection does not apply when the output is switching between modulation schemes. To maintain click-and-pop protection when switching between output schemes the device must enter shutdown mode and be configured to the new output scheme before the startup sequence is finished. Spread-Spectrum Mode The features a unique, patented spread-spectrum mode that flattens the wideband spectral components, improving EMI radiated by the speaker and cables. The switching frequency of the Class D amplifier varies randomly by ± around the 3kHz center frequency. Instead of a large amount of spectral energy present at multiples of the switching frequency, the energy is spread over a bandwidth that increases with frequency. Above a few megahertz, the wideband spectrum looks like white noise for EMI purposes. A proprietary amplifier topology ensures this white noise does not corrupt the noise floor in the audio bandwidth. The spreadspectrum mode is enabled only with filterless modulation. Efficiency The high efficiency of a Class D amplifier is due to the switching operation of the output stage transistors. In a Class D amplifier, the output transistors act as switches and consume negligible power. Power loss associated with the Class D output stage is due to the I 2 R loss of the MOSFET on-resistance, various switching losses, and quiescent current overhead. The theoretical best efficiency of a linear amplifier is 78% at peak output power. Under typical music reproduction levels, the efficiency falls below 3%, whereas the exhibits > 8% efficiency under the same conditions (Figure ). Shutdown The features a shutdown mode that reduces power consumption and extends battery life in portable applications. The shutdown mode reduces supply current to µa (typ). Drive SHDN high for normal operation. Drive SHDN low to place the device in low-power shutdown mode. In shutdown mode, the outputs are high impedance; and the common-mode voltage at the output decays to zero. In shutdown mode, connect REGEN low to minimize current consumption. Mute Function The features a clickless-and-popless mute mode. When the device is muted, the signal is attenuated at the speaker and the outputs stop switching. To mute the, drive MUTE low. Hold MUTE low during system power-up and power-down to ensure that clicks and pops caused by circuits before the are suppressed. (%) 9 8 7 6 3 2 vs. TOTAL OUTPUT POWER A CLASS AB 2 TOTAL fig Figure. A Efficiency vs. Class AB Efficiency 3

Click-and-Pop Suppression The features comprehensive click-and-pop suppression that minimizes audible transients on startup and shutdown. While in shutdown, the H-bridge is in a high-impedance state. Mono Configuration The features a mono mode that allows the right and left channels to operate in parallel, achieving up to 3W (A) of output power. Apply a logichigh to MONO to enable mono mode. In mono mode, an audio signal applied to the left channel (INL) is routed to the H-bridges of both channels. Also in mono mode, the right-channel preamplifier becomes an uncommitted operational amplifier, allowing for flexibility in system design. Connect OUTL+ to OUTR+ and OUTL- to OUTR- using heavy PCB traces as close as possible to the device. Driving MONO low (stereo mode) while the outputs are wired together in mono mode can trigger the short-circuit or thermal-overload protection or both. Current Limit When the output current reaches the current limit,.6a (typ), the disables the outputs and initiates a µs startup sequence. The shutdown and startup sequence is repeated until the output fault is removed. Properly designed applications do not enter currentlimit mode unless the output is short circuited or connected incorrectly. Thermal Shutdown When the die temperature reaches the thermal shutdown threshold, +6 C (typ), the outputs are disabled. When the die temperature decreases by 3 C, normal operation resumes. Some causes of thermal shutdown are excessively low load impedance, poor thermal contact between the s exposed pad and the PCB, elevated ambient temperature, or poor PCB layout and assembly. Applications Information Filterless Class D Operation The meets EN22B EMC radiation limits with an inexpensive ferrite bead and capacitor filter when the speaker leads are less than or equal to m. Select a ferrite bead with Ω to 6Ω impedance and rated for at least 2A. The capacitor value varies based on the ferrite bead chosen and the speaker lead length.

When evaluating with a load speaker, no series inductor is required. Inductor-Based Output Filters Some applications use the with a full inductor-/capacitor-based (LC) output filter. Select the PWM output mode for best audio performance. See Figure for the correct connections of these components. The load impedance of the speaker determines the filter component selection (see Table ). Inductors L and L2, and capacitor C form the primary output filter. Capacitors C2 and C3 provide commonmode filtering to reduce radiated emissions. Capacitors C and C, plus resistors R and R2, form a Zobel at the output. A Zobel corrects the output loading to compensate for the rising impedance of the loudspeaker. Without a Zobel the filter exhibits a peak response near the cutoff frequency. Component Selection Gain-Setting Resistors External feedback resistors set the gain of the. The output stage provides a fixed internal gain in addition to the externally set input stage gain. For the A, the fixed output-stage gain is set at 7dB (7V/V). For the B, the fixed output-stage gain is set at 3.6dB (.8V/V). Set overall gain by using resistors R F and R IN (Figure ) as follows: R MAX A A F 9736 : V = 7. V/ V R IN R MAX B A F 9736 : V =. 8 V/ V R IN where A V is the desired voltage gain. Choose R F between kω and kω. The FB terminal is an op amp output and the IN terminal is the op amp inverting input, allowing the to be configured as a summing amplifier, a filter, or an equalizer. Input Capacitor An input capacitor, C IN, in conjunction with the input resistor, R IN, of the forms a highpass filter that removes the DC bias from an incoming signal. The AC-coupling capacitor allows the amplifier to automatically bias the signal to an optimum DC level. Assuming zero-source impedance, the -3dB point of the highpass filter is given by: f 3dB = 2πRINCIN Choose C IN so that f -3dB is well below the lowest frequency of interest. Use capacitors whose dielectrics have low voltage coefficients. Capacitors with high-voltage coefficients cause increased distortion close to f -3dB. COM Capacitor COM is the output of the internally generated DC bias voltage. Bypass COM with a µf capacitor to AGND. Power Supplies The features separate supplies for signal and power portions of the device, allowing for the optimum combination of headroom, power dissipation, and noise immunity. The speaker amplifiers are powered from PVDD and can range from 8V to 28V. The remainder of the is powered by VS. Power-Supply Sequencing During power-up and power-down, VS must not exceed PVDD. VS greater than PVDD will damage the device. AUDIO INPUT C IN R IN C COM R F FB_ IN_ COM OUT_+ OUT_- Figure. Setting Gain

Internal Regulator The features an internal V regulator, VS, powered from PVDD. Connect REGEN to SHDN so that the internal V regulator is enabled/disabled when the is enabled/disabled. If an external V supply is available, drive REGEN low and connect external V supply to VS to minimize the power dissipation of the. Supply Bypassing, Layout, and Grounding Proper layout and grounding are essential for optimum performance. Use wide traces for the power-supply inputs and amplifier outputs to minimize losses due to parasitic trace resistance. Proper grounding improves audio performance, minimizes crosstalk between channels, and prevents switching noise from coupling into the audio signal. Connect PGND and AGND together at a single point on the PCB. Route all traces that carry switching transients away from AGND and the traces/components in the audio signal path. Bypass each PVDD pin with a.µf capacitor to PGND. Place the bypass capacitors as close as possible to the. Place a 22µF capacitor between PVDD and PGND. Bypass VS with a µf capacitor to AGND. Use wide, low-resistance output traces. Current drawn from the outputs increases as load impedance decreases. High-output trace resistance decreases the power delivered to the load. The TQFN package features an exposed thermal paddle on its underside. This paddle lowers the package s thermal resistance by providing a heat conduction path from the die to the PCB. Connect the exposed thermal pad to PGND by using a large pad and multiple vias to the PGND plane. 6
