AN1766 Application note TS4990 low voltage audio power amplifier Evaluation board user guidelines TS4990 features ■ TS4990 low voltage audio power amplifier with active low standby mode ■ Operating from VCC=2.2V to 5.5V ■ 1.2W output power @ VCC=5V, THD=1%, F=1kHz, with 8Ω load ■ Ultra low power consumption in standby mode (10nA) ■ 62dB PSRR @ 217Hz in grounded mode (Av=2V/V) ■ Near zero pop & click ■ Ultra low distortion (0.1%) ■ Module gain set at 2V/V ■ Thermal and short circuit protection Description The DEMO TS4990 is an evaluation board designed for the TS4990 low power audio amplifier. The micropackage DFN8 (dual flat non leaded 8 pins) allows space saving and good thermal dissipation. The BTL gain is set at 2V/V and can be adapted if necessary with a modification of R1 or R2 values. On the board, R3 and C3 component locations are empty to allow you to modify the input configuration from single ended to differential. For differential mode, R4 must be modified. The C1 component location is also empty so that you can add a low pass filter if required. More information about component calculations is available in the TS4990 datasheet. November 2006 Rev 3 1/5 www.st.com Connector configuration AN1766 Connector configuration Caution: When you apply power supply through Cn1, DO NOT invert the polarity because it would destroy the amplifier U1. Connector Cn1 Power connector (VCC and GND). Power supply voltage from 2.2V to 5.5V. Cn2 and Cn3 Input signal connector (GND and active input signal). Cn4 Output signal connector (Vout1 and Vout2). Cn5 Standby control connector (VCC, standby, GND). A short-circuit between VCC and standby puts U1 in operation mode. A short-circuit between GND and Standby puts U1 in standby mode.
