FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
POWER REQUIREMENT
Operating voltage range of the PT2831 is from 4.5V to 16V, all of PVDD pins should add bypass cap to absorb ripples
and noises, using a 0.1μF+10μF capacitors for bypassing is recommended.
The power supply monitor (UV/OV) block will always monitor the supply voltage. It have 2 window limits; one for the
under voltage (UV) and another one for over voltage (OV), refer to electric spec for detail specifications. When supply
voltage variation exceeds the window, the amplifier will be muted to eliminate pop-noise. Built-in 5V regulator provides a
clean, filtered DC power source to the analog and control logic circuitry to improve PSRR.
The STBY pin is use to cut-off current consumption of whole chip. Total supply current will drop under 20uA typically
when shutdown is active even PVDD is still powered.
CLASS-D GAIN SETTING
The gain of the PT2831 is set by the two inputs, GAIN0 (pin 24) and GAIN1 (pin 25). Internally, the gain is set by
changing the feedback resistors of the amplifier.

INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL CLOCKS
The clock of the class-D amplifier can be generated internally or can be driven by an external source. If two or more
class-D amplifiers are used in the same system, it is recommended that all devices operate at the same clock
frequency. This can be implemented by using one PT2831 as master clock, while the other devices are in slave mode
(that is, externally clocked). The clock interconnect is via pin SYNCLK of each device. As explained below,
SYNCLK is an output in master mode and an input in slave mode.
MASTER MODE (INTERNAL CLOCK)
Using the internal oscillator, the output switching frequency, fSW, is controlled by the resistor, ROSC, connected to pin
ROSC.
In master mode, pin SYNCLK is used as a clock output pin, whose frequency is:
fSYNCLK = 2 * fSW
For master mode to operate correctly then resistor ROSC must be less than 60kΩ.
SLAVE MODE (EXTERNAL CLOCK)
In order to accept an external clock input the pin ROSC must be left open, that is, floating.
This force pin SYNCLK to be internally configured. The output switching frequency of the slave devices is:
fSW = fSYNCLK / 2

MODE SELECTION
STANDBY MODE
All of circuits are turned off, very low current consumption.
MUTE MODE:
Pull Mute pin to GND, the class-D output PWM waveform will stay on 50% duty cycle but the output audio signal was
muted.
NORMAL MODE:
The amplifiers are active. The OE has internally pull up resistance to 5V supply, in general condition connect a cap on
OE pin could help delay the turn on time to prevent pop noise.
PROTECTION MODE:
During power-on period---OE stay “Logic Low”, OV/UV, OC, & OT, there would be no output.

MONO MODE (PBTL)
The PT2831 family can be connected in MONO mode enabling up to 28W output power. This is done by:
• Connect INPB and INNB directly to Ground (without capacitors) this sets the device in Mono mode during power up.
• Connect OUTPA and OUTNA together for the positive speaker terminal and OUTNB and OUTPB together for the
negative terminal
• Analog input signal is applied to INPA and INNA

PROTECTION FUNCTION
The PT2831 is fully protected against over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current and thermal overload.
OVER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION (OVP)
If the supply voltage exceeds the value for VOVP, the over-voltage protection is activated which forces the outputs to the
high-impedance state. When the supply voltage drops to below the threshold value the device restarts.
UNDER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION (UVP)
If the supply voltage drops below the value for VUVP, the under-voltage protection is activated which forces the outputs to
the high-impedance state. When the supply voltage recovers the device restarts.
OVER-CURRENT PROTECTION (OCP)
If the output current exceeds the value for IOCP, the over-current protection is activated which forces the outputs to the
high-impedance state. Periodically, the device attempts to restart. If the over-current condition is still present then the
OCP remains active. The restart time, TOC, is determined by the Capacitor components connected to pin OE.
THERMAL PROTECTION (OTP)
If the junction temperature, Tj, reaches 145°C (nominal), the device goes to mute mode and the positive and negative
PWM outputs are forced to 50% duty cycle. If the junction temperature reaches the value for Tj, the device shuts down
and the output is forced to the high impedance state. When the device cools sufficiently the device restarts.

PCB LAYOUT
The heat dissipation of the PT2831 is summed up by the following factors: supply voltage, load Impedance, and type of
input signal. Because of the amplitude and frequency of the audio signals is not a fixed value during general music
broadcasts; thus, the accumulated heat will be less than a continuous sine wave power output. In brief, because the
amplitude and frequency of audio signals varies, the average power output is lower than that of a fixed continuous sine
wave. Thus, the heat caused by a normal sine wave will accumulate faster because of a higher average power output.
Sometimes when testing continuously may activate the overheat protection. The activation of the overheat protection
depends on the heat dissipation condition. The larger copper foil area on the PCB, the better heat is dissipated. Please
refer to the list below when designing the PCB layout.
1. Large (1000μF or greater) bulk power supply decoupling capacitors should be placed near the PT2831 on the PVCC
supplies. The high-frequency bypass capacitors (0.1uF) should be placed as close to the PVCCA/PVCCB pins as
possible. These caps can be connected to the IC GND pad directly for an excellent ground connection.
2. Keep the current loop from each of the outputs through the inductor and the small filter cap and back to GND as
small and tight as possible. The size of this current loop determines its effectiveness as an antenna.
3. The copper foil on the PCB must have at least 1.oz thickness.
4. The PCB should 2 layers board is recommended.
5. PCB must have enough via holes below the thermal pad; it is recommended to have 18 holes, the holes diameter is
0.5mm.
6. The copper foil connected with thermal pad should be connected to ground plate and do not connected to any others
Voltage LEVEL. The copper foil must be plated in broad and continuously and do not cut off from the midway as
possible.
