 Unique
Operating in a single 5V supply, LPA8302 is capable of
driving 4Ω speaker load at a continuous average output
of 3W/10% THD+N or 2W/1% THD+N. The LPA8302

Application Information
The LPA8302 is a fully differential amplifier with differential
inputs and outputs. The fully differential amplifier consists of a
differential amplifier and a common-mode amplifier. The
differential amplifier ensures that the amplifier outputs a
differential voltage on the output that is equal to the differential
input times the gain. The common-mode feedback ensures that

kΩ) gives a high-pass corner frequency of 321 Hz.
the common-mode voltage at the output is biased around
VDD/2 regardless of the common-mode voltage at the input.
The fully differential LPA8302 can still be used with a
single-ended input; however, the LPA8302 should be used with
differential inputs when in a noisy environment, like a wireless
handset, to ensure maximum noise rejection.
Advantages of Fully Differential Amplifiers
Input-coupling capacitors not required:
The fully differential amplifier allows the inputs to be biased at
voltage other than mid-supply. For example, if a codec has a
middle supply lower than the middle supply of the LPA8302, the
common-mode feedback circuit will adjust, and the LPA8302

outputs will still be biased at middle supply of the LPA8302. The
inputs of the LPA8302 can be biased from 0.5V toVDD-0.8 V. If
the inputs are biased outside of that range, input-coupling
capacitors are required.
Middle supply bypass capacitor, C(BYPASS), not required:
The fully differential amplifier does not require a bypass
capacitor. This is because any shift in the middle supply affects
both positive and negative channels equally and cancels at the
differential output.

Layout Considerations
As output power increases, interconnect resistance (PCB traces and wires) between the amplifiers, load and power supply create a
voltage drop. The voltage loss on the traces between the LPA8302 and the load results is lower output power and decreased efficiency.
Higher trace resistance between the supply and the LPA8302 has the same effect as a poorly regulated supply, increase ripple on the
supply line also reducing the peak output power. The effects of residual trace resistance increases as output current increases due to
higher output power, decreased load impedance or both. To maintain the highest output voltage swing and corresponding peak output
power, the PCB traces that connect the output pins to the load and the supply pins to the power supply should be as wide as
possible to minimize trace resistance.
The use of power and ground planes will give the best THD+N performance. While reducing trace resistance, the use of power planes
also creates parasite capacitors that help to filter the power supply line.
The inductive nature of the transducer load can also result in overshoot on one or both edges, clamped by the parasitic diodes to

each case. From an EMI stand- point, this is an aggressive waveform that can radiate or conduct to other components in
the system and cause interference. It is essential to keep the power and output traces short and well shielded if possible. Use of ground
planes, beads, and micro-strip layout techniques are all useful in preventing unwanted interference.
As the distance from the LPA8302 and the speaker increase, the amount of EMI radiation will increase since the output wires or traces
acting as antenna become more efficient with length. What is acceptable EMI is highly application specific.
Ferrite chip inductors placed close to the LPA8302 may be needed to reduce EMI radiation. The value of the ferrite chip is very
application specific.
