Abstract
This application note describes a stereo Switched Mode Amplifier (SMA)
for audio, based on either the TDA8932B or TDA8933(B) Class-D audio
amplifier device of NXP Semiconductors, which has been designed for
Flat TV applications.
The TDA8932B device is the high-power version that delivers an output
power of 2 × 10 WRMS to 2 × 25 WRMS in a Single Ended (SE)
configuration or 10 WRMS to 50 WRMS in a Bridge Tied Load (BTL)
configuration.
The TDA8933(B) device is the low-power version that delivers an output
power of 2 × 5 WRMS to 2 × 15 WRMS in a SE configuration or
10 WRMS to 30 WRMS in a BTL configuration.
This high efficiency SMA device has been designed to operate without a
heat sink and has the flexibility to operate from either an asymmetrical
supply or a symmetrical supply with a wide range (10 V to 36 V or
±5 V to ±18 V).
The TDA8932B/33(B) device utilizes two advanced features, the Thermal
Foldback (TF) and the cycle-by-cycle current limiting to avoid audio holes
(interruptions) during normal operation.
In addition, the TDA8932B/33(B) utilizes integrated
Half Supply Voltage (HVP) buffers to simplify the design for an
asymmetrical supply in the SE configuration. Control logic is integrated for
a pop free transition between on/off. A SLEEP mode is incorporated to
comply with the power saving regulations.
An application designed around the TDA8932B/33(B) device is very robust
because of the internal protection features, such as a number of voltage
protections, OverCurrent Protection (OCP) and OverTemperature
Protection (OTP).

1. Introduction
This application note describes a reference design of a Switched Mode Amplifier (SMA)
for audio, based on the TDA8932B or TDA8933(B) device of NXP Semiconductors
operating from an asymmetrical supply.
The TDA8932B device and the TDA8933(B) device are pin-to-pin compatible and can be
used in either a stereo SE configuration or a mono BTL configuration. The TDA8932B is
the high-power version and the TDA8933(B) is the low-power version. Together they
cover a wide power range per channel of 5 WRMS to 50 WRMS. The two versions are
available in the SO32 package (TDA8932BT, TDA8933T) and the HTSSOP32 package
(TDA8932BTW, TDA8933BTW). The TDA8932B/33(B) Class-D amplifier is intended for:

1.2 Fixed frequency pulse width modulated Class-D concept
The TDA8932B/33(B) device is a closed loop fixed frequency pulse width modulated
Class-D amplifier with two differential analog inputs, each driving an independent power
stage (see Figure 2). The power stage consists out of a low side and a high side
N-channel MOSFET.

TDA8932B/33(B) Class-D audio amplifier
The TDA8932B/33(B) can be configured for use in either SE or BTL. The major benefits of
an SE configuration compared to a BTL configuration are cost and efficiency. This is
because:
• Only one pair of power switches is required for each channel.
• Only one LP filter (inductor and film capacitor) is required for each channel.
• Only two power stages for stereo in one package, therefore no heat sink required.

Fig 2. TDA8932B/33(B) in SE configuration
An internal feedback network has a fixed closed loop gain of 30 dB in the SE configuration
(36 dB in the BTL configuration).
The Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) output signal has a oscillator frequency that is fixed
by either:
• An internal oscillator when configured as master.
• An external oscillator when configured as slave.
The pulse width will be modulated according to the input signal.
Section 3 describes the complete application design of the TDA8932B/33(B) and includes
the dimensioning of the LP output filter.
1.3 Typical application circuits (simplified)
1.3.1 Asymmetrical supply stereo SE configuration
The simplified application circuit of the TDA8932B/33(B) device when operated from an
asymmetrical supply (single supply) can be seen in Figure 3. The TDA8932B/33(B)
incorporates three integrated half supply voltage buffers to simplify the design for an
asymmetrical supply in SE configuration. One buffer is for the reference decoupling
capacitor (CHVPREF) on HVPREF (pin 11) and two other buffers are for the two AC-couple
capacitors (CSE) in series with the speaker.

(1) The TDA8933T device requires a 1 MΩ resistor in parallel with the bootstrap capacitor Cbo. TDA8932BT, TDA8932BTW
and TDA8933BTW devices do not require a 1 MΩ resistor.
Fig 4. Simplified SE application TDA8932B/33(B) (symmetrical supply)
A symmetrical supply has some benefits compared to an asymmetrical supply. First, the
power bandwidth is not limited by the size of the SE capacitor. Therefore, for a full
bandwidth (20 Hz to 20 kHz) amplifier, a symmetrical supply should be considered to
avoid a large value SE capacitor. Secondly, when the supply is either unregulated and/or
weak (e.g., a 50 Hz / 60 Hz transformer), the output signal will not suffer from
asymmetrical clipping (see Section 4.4).
1.3.3 Asymmetrical supply mono BTL configuration
The TDA8932B/33(B) can operate in BTL configuration when a high output power is
required at a low supply voltage (e.g., for driving a subwoofer in a 2.1 system). See
Figure 5.

This chapter briefly describes the main functionality of the TDA8932B/33(B) device and
the different modes. It also describes the different features and the protections
implemented in the TDA8932B/33(B). Table 3 in Section 2.8 in gives a description of each
pin.
2.1 Control inputs
The TDA8932B/33(B) is controlled by two inputs, POWERUP (pin 6) and
ENGAGE (pin 5). The POWERUP is a two-level high impedance input. The ENGAGE
input has an internal pull-up current source and an internal pull-down resistor of
100 kΩ (typical). The internal pull-up current source is enabled after the power stages are

enabled. The DIAG pin is an I/O indicating FAULT mode and it can be used to switch the
amplifier in FAULT mode by means of an external pull-down to CGND. The DIAG has an
internal pull-up current source.

See Section 3.3 for the recommended control circuitry of the POWERUP, ENGAGE and
DIAG.
Remark: Do not use an external pull-up resistor at the ENGAGE input, as it has its own
internal pull-up current source.
2.1.1 Mode description
• SLEEP mode:
The SLEEP mode is incorporated to reduce the power consumption in system idle
mode. In SLEEP mode, the internal 5 V stabilizer (DREF), the 11 V stabilizers
(STAB1, STAB2) and the half supply voltage buffers (HVPREF, HVP1, HVP2) are
disabled to reduce supply current consumption.
• MUTE mode:
In MUTE mode, the 5 V (DREF) and the 11 V (STAB1, STAB2) stabilizers will be
enabled (internal logic biased) and the half supply voltage buffers will charge
respectively the reference decouple capacitor (CHVPREF) and the AC-couple
capacitors (CSE) in series with the speaker. The power stage is enabled (starts
switching) after the SE capacitors are charged completely.
• OPERATING mode:
In the OPERATING mode, the gain of the device is increased gradually to 30 dB per
output stage to avoid pop noise. The complete start-up sequence will take about
500 ms in a typical SE application.
• FAULT mode:
The FAULT mode is entered when one of the internal protections is triggered (see
Section 2.6) and as a consequence the DIAG (pin 4) is set to low. The internal pull-up
current source of the ENGAGE pin is disabled in FAULT mode. Therefore, the
external capacitor will be discharged by means of the internal pull-down resistor.
The FAULT mode can be entered also by means of an external pull-down to CGND.
Table 2 shows an overview of the internal protections.

2.2 Half Supply Voltage (HVP) chargers
The internal HVPREF, HVP1 and HVP2 buffers will quickly charge the reference capacitor
(CHVPREF) and the SE capacitors (CSE) before the power stage is enabled. The typical
charge current of the HVP1 (pin 30) and the HVP2 (pin 19) buffers is 80 mA (dependent
on the junction temperature). The charge time of the SE capacitor can be estimated as
follows:
C SE ⋅ 0.5 ⋅ ( V DDA – V SSA )
t = ------------------------------------------------------------I
(1)
Where:
CSE = single ended capacitor (F)
VDDA = analog supply voltage (V)
VSSA = negative analog supply voltage (V)
I = typical charge current (A)
Example:
Charging an SE capacitor of 1000 μF at a supply voltage of 22 V takes about 138 ms.
Remark: The half supply voltage buffers are short circuit protected.
2.3 Pop free power supply on/off cycling
2.3.1 Supply turn-on
Internal logic will delay the operation (regardless of the control voltages) until the
HVPREF, HVP1 and HVP2 buffers are settled at ½(VDDA − VSSA) to avoid pop noise. For
an optimum pop performance, a capacitor of 470 nF should be attached to the
ENGAGE (pin 5). This will make sure the gain and therefore the offset will be increased
gradually to avoid pop sound (see Figure 21).
2.3.2 Supply turn-off
Either the UnBalance Protection (UBP) or the UnderVoltage Protection (UVP) will avoid
pop noise when the power supply is turned off. The power stage is disabled when either
VDDA drops more than 20 % (see Section 2.6.6 for more detail) or the UVP threshold level
(9.5 V typical) is reached.
Remark: During power supply on/off cycling, an unwanted input signal from the audio
source can still cause a pop noise. To prevent this the ENGAGE pin should be pulled
down to CGND to mute any unwanted signal.
2.4 Oscillator frequency
An external resistor connected between the OSCREF (pin 10) and VSSA sets the oscillator
frequency of the PWM output. The oscillator frequency can be estimated with this
equation:
⋅ 10 9
f osc = 12.45

Where:
Rosc = resistor to set the oscillator frequency.
The oscillator frequency can be set between 250 kHz and 500 kHz.
Example:
The use of a 39 kΩ resistor will result in a oscillator frequency of about 320 kHz.
Remark: A decouple capacitor of 100 nF should be connected across Rosc for noise
reduction.
Remark: Synchronization is recommended when two or more TDA8932B/33(B) devices
are used in the same application (see Section 2.5).
2.5 Device synchronization
Synchronization is recommended to avoid possible audible beat tones from the speakers
when two or more TDA8932B/33(B) devices are used in the same application.
Synchronization can be achieved by connecting all OSCIOs (pin 31) together and
configuring one of the devices as master, while the other TDA8932B/33(B) device is
configured as slave (see Figure 7).
A device is configured as master when a resistor is connected between OSCREF (pin 10)
and VSSA to set the oscillator frequency. The OSCIO (pin 31) of the master is then
configured as an oscillator output for synchronization. The OSCREF (pin 10) of the slave
devices should be shortened to VSSA to configure the OSCIO as an input.

TDA8932B/33(B) Class-D audio amplifier
2.6 Limiting and protection features
The TDA8932B/33(B) device utilizes two advanced limiting features, the thermal foldback
and the cycle-by-cycle current limiting, to avoid audio holes (interruptions) during normal
operation.
In addition to these limiting features the device has several protection features that make
the TDA8932B/33(B) very robust during a fault condition. The following protections are
incorporated:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Window Protection (WP)
UnderVoltage Protections (UVP)
OverVoltage Protection (OVP)
UnBalance Protection (UBP)
OverCurrent Protection (OCP)
OverTemperature Protection (OTP)
When one of the above protections is triggered, the device will enter the FAULT mode and
the power stage is disabled immediately (floating). Furthermore, an internal timer of about
100 ms is started and the DIAG (pin 4), referenced to CGND, is set low for the first 50 ms
of the timer to indicate this protection status (FAULT mode). In addition the internal pull-up
current of the ENGAGE pin is disabled in the FAULT mode, so the external capacitor will
be discharged by means of the internal pull-down resistor (100 kΩ). After about 100 ms
the device will restart (self-recovering), but only when the fault condition has been
resolved.
A microcontroller can use the diagnostic signal (DIAG) to, e.g., shut down either the
amplifier or the power supply.

2.6.1 Thermal Foldback (TF)
When the junction of the TDA8932B/33(B) exceeds 140 °C, the TF will gradually reduce
the gain, limiting the power dissipation. This means that the device will not switch off, but
will continue to operate at a slightly lower gain, causing no audio holes (interruptions). The
maximum junction temperature will not go beyond the absolute maximum temperature.
Therefore, a heat sink is not required and the thermal design becomes less critical and
less temperature head room requires to be taken into account since audio holes will not
occur and the device will always stay within the Safe Operating Area (SOA).
2.6.2 Cycle-by-cycle current limiting
When the output current of the device exceeds either 4 A (TDA8932B) or
2 A (TDA8933(B)), the cycle-by-cycle current limitation becomes active. This means the
device will not switch off, but continue to operate while limiting the current without causing
audio holes (interruptions). The maximum output current will not go beyond the absolute
maximum current.
Remark: When the cycle-by-cycle current limiting becomes active, it will cause distortion.
See Section 3.2 for information on how to calculate the peak output current, depending on
the supply voltage and the speaker impedance.
2.6.3 Window Protection (WP)
WP checks the voltage at the PWM outputs (OUT1 pin 27 and OUT2 pin 22) before the
power stage is enabled (transition from SLEEP mode to MUTE / OPERATING mode). To
avoid large currents flowing, the WP is activated (power stage stays floating) in the event
of a short from the PWM output to either VDD or VSS. The DIAG is set to low for at least
50 ms.
The PWM output voltage where the WP becomes active at an asymmetrical supply can be
calculated as follows:
Low threshold level:
11
V O ( wp )l = ------ ⋅ V DDA
32

TDA8932B/33(B) Class-D audio amplifier
High threshold level:
21
V O ( wp )h = ------ ⋅ V DDA
32
(4)
Where:
VO(wp) = window protection output voltage (low or high). Referenced to VSSA (V).
VDDA = analog supply voltage (V).
The TDA8932B/33(B) will recover when the output voltage at OUT1 and OUT2 is within
(21/32) VDDA > Vo > (11/32) VDDA.
2.6.4 UnderVoltage Protection (UVP)
The TDA8932B/33(B) requires a minimum supply voltage for proper operation. When the
supply voltage drops below the UVP threshold level of 9.5 V (typical VDDA − VSSA), the
power stage becomes floating and the DIAG is set low for at least 50 ms.
2.6.5 OverVoltage Protection (OVP)
An OVP is incorporated because an SE Class-D amplifier is able to increase the supply
voltage when it is driven at low audio frequencies. This phenomenon is better known as
"supply pumping" (see also Section 4.3). The OVP prevents that supply pumping exceeds
the absolute maximum supply voltage rating of the TDA8932B/33(B). This is a protection
against self-destruction. The OVP threshold level is an internal fixed level at 38.5 V
(typical VDDA − VSSA). Beyond this OVP threshold level the power stage will become
floating and the DIAG is set low for at least 50 ms.
Remark: The OVP will neither prevent nor limit an overvoltage caused by the power
supply.
2.6.6 UnBalance Protection (UBP)
The UBP senses the supply voltage unbalance between the analog supply voltages VDDA
and VSSA with respect to the HVPREF voltage at pin 11. The UBP is triggered when the
unbalance exceeds a certain level to avoid improper biasing resulting in e.g. pop. The
DIAG is set low and remains low for at least 50 ms.
The supply voltage where the UBP becomes active with an asymmetrical supply can be
estimated as follows:
Low threshold level:
8
V P ( ubp )l = --- ⋅ V HVPREF
5
(5)
High threshold level:
8
V P ( ubp )h = --- ⋅ V HVPREF
3
(6)
Where:
VP(ubp) = unbalance protection supply voltage (low and high). VDDA (pin 8) referenced to
VSSA (V).

TDA8932B/33(B) Class-D audio amplifier
VHVPREF = half supply voltage reference (pin 11) referenced to VSSA (V)
The TDA8932B/33(B) will recover when the supply voltage is within
(8/5) VHVPREF > VP > (8/3) VHVPREF.
The supply voltage at which the UBP becomes active with a symmetrical supply can be
estimated as follows:
Low threshold level:
3
V DDA ( ubp )l = --- ⋅ V SSA
5
(7)
High threshold level:
5
V DDA ( ubp )h = --- ⋅ V SSA
3
(8)
Where:
VDDA(ubp) = unbalance protection analog supply voltage. VDDA (pin 8) referenced to
VHVPREF (V), HVPREF is connected to GND.
VSSA = negative analog supply voltage (pin 9) referenced to VHVPREF (V)
Example asymmetrical supply (use Equation 5 and Equation 6):
At a supply voltage of 22 V, the voltage on HVPREF is equal to VHVPREF = 11 V. The
HVPREF voltage is buffered so the level will change only very slowly. When the supply
voltage drops quickly (dV/dt > 4 V/s), the UBP is triggered below 17.6 V. When the supply
voltage increases quickly, the UBP is triggered above 29.3 V.
Remark: With either an unregulated or a weak power supply, it might happen that this
UBP is triggered, e.g., because of a voltage drop during a transient from no load to full
load condition. See Section 4.4 for more detail.
2.6.7 OverCurrent Protection (OCP)
The OCP is activated only in a fault condition when the current exceeds 4 A (TDA8932B)
or 2 A (TDA8933(B)) because of either a low ohmic short across the load or a low ohmic
short from the demodulated output (after the inductor) to either VSS or VDD. The DIAG is
set low for 50 ms and the internal timer of 100 ms is started. The timer or the WP will keep
the power stage disabled for at least 100 ms. As long as the short remains across the
load, this cycle will repeat. The average power dissipation in the TDA8932B/33(B) will be
low because the short circuit current will flow only during a very small part of the timer
cycle of 100 ms.
When the current exceeds 4 A (TDA8932B) or 2 A (TDA8933(B)) during normal operation,
only the cycle-by-cycle current limiting is active without causing any audio holes
(interruptions). See also Section 2.6.2.

2.6.8 OverTemperature Protection (OTP)
The OTP is activated only in a fault condition when the junction temperature exceeds
155 °C (typical) e.g. during a short across the SE capacitor. The DIAG output is set low for
at least 50 ms and an internal timer of 100 ms is started. The timer will keep the power
stage disabled for at least 100 ms.
When the junction temperature exceeds 140 °C during normal operation, the thermal
foldback is active without causing any audio holes (interruptions). See also Section 2.6.1.

3. Design 2 x 5 W - 25 W audio amplifier (asymmetrical supply)
This chapter describes a stereo amplifier reference design that is based on the
TDA8932BT or the TDA8933(B)T device of NXP Semiconductors (see the schematic
Section 3.10). This low-cost stereo Single Ended (SE) amplifier design operates with an
asymmetrical supply (10 V to 36 V). The TDA8932BT and the TDA8933(B)T devices are
pin-to-pin compatible.
The reference PCB, when mounted with TDA8932BT (high-power version), can deliver a
continuous time output power of 2 × 15 WRMS into 4 Ω (VP = 22 V) without a heat sink. The
maximum short time output power is equal to 2 × 25 WRMS into 4 Ω (VP = 29 V).
The reference PCB, when mounted with TDA8933(B)T (low-power version), can deliver a
continuous time output power of 2 × 15 WRMS into 8 Ω (VP = 31 V) without a heat sink. The
maximum short time output power is equal to 2 × 18 WRMS into 8 Ω (VP = 34 V).
This chapter shows the most important equations that can be used as a guideline for any
design based on the TDA8932B/33(B).
3.1 Output power estimation
The output power for the SE and the BTL configuration, just before clipping, can be
estimated through the use of these equations:
SE: P o(0.5%)

⎛ ⎛ ---------------------------------------------------------⎞ ⋅ ( 1 – t W ( min ) ⋅ f osc ) ⋅ V P⎞
⎝ ⎝ R L + R DSon + R s + R ESR⎠

fosc = oscillator frequency (Hz) (320 kHz typical R7 = 39 kΩ)
Remark: Equation 9 and Equation 10 are valid only when:
Peak output current ≤ 4 A for TDA8932B (see Section 3.2).
Peak output current ≤ 2 A for TDA8933(B).
The output power at 10 % THD can be estimated as follows:
P o(10%) = 1.25 ⋅ P o(0.5%)

3.2 Peak output current estimation
The most important benefit of cycle-by-cycle current limiting is the loss of audio holes
without requiring a lot of head room towards the maximum peak output current of the
TDA8932B/33(B). The peak output current is limited internally above:
• 4 A minimum for the TDA8932B.
• 2 A minimum for the TDA8933(B).
During normal operation, the output current should not exceed the threshold level of
IO(ocp) = 4 A minimum (TDA8932B) or IO(ocp) = 2 A minimum (TDA8933(B)) because it will
cause distortion. The peak output current in either SE or BTL can be estimated through
the use of these equations:
0.5 ⋅ V P
SE: I O ( peak ) ≤ ---------------------------------------------------------R L + R DSon + R s + R ESR
(12)
Vp
BTL: I O ( peak ) ≤ ---------------------------------------------------R L + 2 ⋅ ( R DSon + R s )
(13)
Where:
VP = supply voltage (V) (VDDP-VSSP)
RL = load impedance (Ω)
RDSon = on-resistance power switch (Ω)
Rs = series resistance output inductor (Ω)
RESR = equivalent series resistance of SE capacitance (Ω)
Example TDA8932B (IO(ocp) = 4 A minimum):
A 4 Ω speaker in the SE configuration can be used until a supply voltage of 33 V (approx.)
without running into current limiting.
A 4 Ω speaker in the BTL configuration can be used until a supply voltage of
17.5 V (approx.) without running into current limiting.
3.3 Control circuit
The recommended POWERUP circuit is a resistor divider between the supply voltage and
CGND of the amplifier. Optionally a transistor can be used to enter SLEEP mode to
reduce the power consumption in e.g., system idle mode.

An external capacitor of 470 nF is recommended at the ENGAGE pin. The switch in series

gradually increased depending on the capacitor value (dV/dt) attached to the ENGAGE
pin avoiding pop noise due to DC offset.

pull-down resistance Rpd ≈ 1 kΩ when set low).

3.4 Analog audio input
The input signal is applied to the differential input of the TDA8932B/33(B) by means of
AC-couple capacitors (see Figure 23). AC-couple capacitors are required for DC-blocking
because the inputs (IN1P, IN1N, IN2P and IN2N) are biased at a voltage level of
approximately +2.2 V (with respect to VSS) when operating from an asymmetrical supply.
At symmetrical supply, the inputs are biased at a voltage level of approximately −2.2 V
(with respect to HVPREF). The bias voltage is equal to the INREF voltage (pin 12).
Remark: The input should be grounded close to the audio source (not at the amplifier
side) to avoid a common ground with the power supply ground.

3.4.1 Input impedance
The input impedance of the TDA832B/33(B) device is equal to Ri = 100 kΩ. A low pass
RC filter (R2, R3 and C6) is applied to reduce the sensitivity for out-of-band disturbances.
0 dB
f−3dB(l)
f−3dB(h)
010aaa012
Fig 24. Input transfer function
The closed loop voltage gain at 1 kHz is equal to:
Ri
G v ( cl ) = 20 log ⎛ -------------------------------⎞
⎝ R2 + R3 + R i⎠
(14)
The cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter is equal to:
1
f – 3dB ( h ) = --------------------------------------------------------( R2 + R3 ) ⋅ R i
2π ⋅ ---------------------------------- ⋅ C6
R2 + R3 + R i
(15)
The AC couple capacitors form a high-pass filter, with the total input impedance
(R2 + R3 + Ri). The cut-off frequency of the high-pass filter is equal to:
1
f – 3dB ( l ) = ----------------------------------------------------------------------------C5 ⋅ C7
2π ⋅ ( R2 + R3 + R i ) ⋅ ⎛ -------------------⎞
⎝ C5 ⋅ C7⎠
(16)
Example:
Substituting R2, R3 = 4.7 kΩ and the AC-couple capacitors of C5, C7 = 470 nF in
Equation 16 results in a cut-off frequency of 6 Hz, well below 20 Hz.
Substituting R2, R3 = 4.7 kΩ and C6 = 330 pF in Equation 15 results in a cut-off
frequency of 56 kHz, well above 20 kHz.
3.4.2 Gain reduction
The gain of the TDA8932B/33(B) is fixed internally at 30 dB for SE configuration (or 36 dB
BTL configuration). The gain can be reduced by a resistive voltage divider at the input
(see Figure 25).

Fig 25. Resistive voltage divider at the input
The closed-loop voltage gain Gv(cl) when applying a resistive divider can be calculated
through the use of this equation:
R EQ
G v ( tot ) = G v ( cl ) + 20 log ⎛ -----------------------------------------⎞
⎝ R EQ + ( R2 + R3 )⎠
(17)
Rp ⋅ Ri
R EQ = ---------------Rp + Ri
(18)
Where:
REQ = equivalent resistance (Ω)
Rp = parallel resistor (Ω)
Ri = 100 kΩ internal input resistance (Ω)
R2, R3 = series resistors (Ω)
Gv(cl) = closed-loop voltage gain 30 dB for SE and 36 dB for BTL (dB)
Example:
Substituting R2 = R3 = 4.7 kΩ and RP = 22 kΩ in Equation 17 and Equation 18 results in
a gain of Gv(tot) = 26.3 dB.
Remark: Applying a parallel resistance to reduce the gain will affect the cut-off
frequencies of the input circuitry. It is required to compensate for this when requiring a
20 Hz to 20 kHz bandwidth.
3.4.3 Reference decoupling (HVPREF)
The HVPREF voltage (equal to ½(VDDA − VSSA)) is the reference for the output. The
HVPREF is created internally by a resistor divider (2 × 90 kΩ) located between VDDA and
VSSA. Proper decoupling with 47 μF and 100 nF is necessary to assure a good SVRR in
the SE configuration. For the BTL configuration, there is a requirement only for a 100 nF
capacitor since any ripple on the HVPREF is common for both output stages.
3.5 Speaker configuration and impedance
For a flat frequency response (second order Butterworth filter), it is necessary to change
the low pass filter components L2 / L3 and C14 / C23 according to the speaker
configuration and impedance. See Figure 35 for more information.
Table 4 shows the required component values for speaker impedances of 4 Ω, 6 Ω or 8 Ω.

3.5.1 Filter inductor
There are two main types of inductors:
• Air coil, current independent inductance and no saturation effect.
• Inductor with a magnetic core (ferrite or iron powder):
– Magnetically unshielded version (pot core).
– Magnetically shielded version (pot core or toroidal core).
An air coil is used often in HiFi audio equipment, but is not very useful in mainstream
audio because of the physical size.
The major benefit of an unshielded inductor is cost. However, the magnetic stray field can
cause either crosstalk issues or interference with other sensitive parts inside an audio or
TV system (AM-receiver, picture interference, etc.).
The benefit of the shielded magnetic inductor is that the magnetic field is captured inside
the core, reducing the magnetic stray field.
The most important parameters of an inductor are:
• DC current rating to avoid magnetic saturation, causing an increase in audio
distortion.
• Linearity of the inductor, causing an increase in audio distortion (especially above
1 kHz).
• DC resistance having a direct impact on efficiency.
The DC current capability needs to be high enough to avoid magnetic saturation. High
peak currents are a result of saturation because the inductor tends to acts like a short.
Therefore, for a proper inductor selection it is important to consider the maximum current
delivered by the amplifier, and the temperature of the inductor (higher inductor
temperature will decrease the saturation level). The maximum current occurs at voltage
clipping and can be calculated through the use of either Equation 12 for SE configuration
or Equation 13 for BTL configuration.
Example:
For a 2 × 15 W SE amplifier operating at 22 V the maximum output current is equal to
2.1 A (RDSon = 0.15 Ω and Rs = 0.05 Ω and RESR = 0.06 Ω). Therefore, it is recommended
to select an inductor that retains still at least 80 % of the nominal inductance at the
maximum current of 2.1 A.

Remark: For EMC purposes, it is important that the inner layer (for a multiple layer
winding) is attached to the switching output to minimize electrical stray fields. The inner
layer (start of the winding) is indicated with a dot mark on the inductor. In this way the
outside layer acts like an electrical shielding for the inner layer attached to the output with
fast alternating voltages.
3.5.2 Filter capacitor
A film capacitor is the best choice for audio performance. However, in most cases a
ceramic SMD capacitor (NPO or X7R) will also give a satisfying performance. The voltage
rating of the filter capacitor should be 25 % higher than the maximum supply voltage VP in
an asymmetrical application. In a symmetrical application the voltage rating should be
25 % higher than the half the maximum supply voltage (VDDP − VSSP).
3.5.3 Zobel damping network
A zobel network is recommended in every Class-D amplifier application to damp the filter
resonance (See in Figure 26 RZ and CZ). Filter resonance will occur due to the inductive
behavior (LE) of the speaker voice coil.

This zobel damping network is quite effective for a voice coil inductance LE < 10 LLC. The
zobel damping network will lower the resonance peak current in the filter inductor by at
least 15 % to 40 % lowering the risk of unwanted inductor saturation.
Remark: Besides inductor saturation a tweeter might also benefit from a zobel network
since filter resonance can overstress the tweeter.

A minimum zobel damping network CZ = 47 nF and RZ = 82 Ω is strongly recommended.
The optimum damping resistors are equal for 6 Ω and 8 Ω speakers when using the filter
component values from Table 4, which are calculated based on fo = 40 kHz.
The resistor (RZ) should be able to at least dissipate the power when driving the amplifier
with a 20 kHz unclipped sine wave.

TDA8932B/33(B) Class-D audio amplifier
Remark: If the amplifier is driven at the resonance frequency (fo = 40 kHz) of the filter, the
power dissipation in the resistor will rise causing the resistor to overheat.
3.5.4 Voltage clamp diodes
For a voice coil inductance LE greater than 10 times the filter inductance (LLC) the
effectiveness of the zobel damping network is limited and the power dissipation in the
resistor grows high, requiring bulky power resistors. In general, mostly subwoofer voice
coils and HIFI multi-way speakers have such a high inductance.
Remark: Applications for which the end user is able to disconnect the speaker and
operate the amplifier without speaker, might also suffer from issues of robustness
because of the inductor saturation.
To avoid inductor saturation in case of high inductive load or no load, it is recommended to
apply voltage clamp diodes at the output to the supply rails (see Figure 28).

Fig 28. Voltage clamp diodes
Relatively cheap general purpose diodes, like the 1N4001 (VR = 50 V) or the
1N4002 (VR = 100 V) can be used for this purpose. The reverse voltage of the diode
should be at least 1.2 times the supply voltage and the repetitive peak current should be
1.2 times the maximum current of the amplifier.
3.6 Single ended capacitor
A single ended amplifier (Class-AB or Class-D) operating at an asymmetrical supply
voltage will require an AC couple capacitor (SE capacitor) in series with the speaker.
Especially for a low output power (< 25 W) it is a very cost effective solution compared to
a BTL configuration. It should be noted, the SE capacitor has no major drawback on THD
and audio performance in general.
The SE capacitor forms a high-pass filter with the speaker impedance. Therefore, the
frequency response will roll off with 20 dB per decade below the cut-off frequency f−3dB.
The cut-off frequency is equal to:
1
f – 3dB = ------------------------------2π ⋅ R L ⋅ C15
(19)
Where:
RL = load impedance (Ω).
C15 (C24) = Single Ended capacitance (F) (see schematic Section 3.10).

3.6.1 Voltage rating
The voltage rating of the SE capacitor should be at least equal to the nominal supply
voltage VP in the application. This because the voltage at the SE capacitor can be
modulated heavily when the amplifier is driven at either a low frequency or during an
overload (a short circuit across the load or to VP). In these situations the peak voltage at
the SE capacitor can be almost equal to the supply voltage.
3.6.2 Lifetime
The ambient temperature and the ripple current have the greatest effect on the lifetime of
the aluminium electrolytic capacitors. For lifetime considerations the SE capacitance must
be able to at least handle the ripple current that is equal to the load current at ¼ rated
output power. Only ¼ of the rated output power is taken into account, because it is not
likely that an audio amplifier is driven continuously at rated output power over a lifetime.
The ripple current at ¼ Prated is equal to:
1 ⁄ 2 ⋅ VP 1
I = --------------------- ⋅ --2 ⋅ RL 4
(20)
Where:
RL = load impedance (Ω)
VP = supply voltage (V) (VDDP − VSSP)
Example:
The ripple current of an amplifier that operates at 22 V with a 4 Ω load (Prated = 15 W) is
approximately 486 mA. This ripple current can be used to determine the expected lifetime
of the SE capacitor. Most general purpose electrolytic capacitors (85 °C type) are capable
already of handling a 486 mA ripple current.
Both the ripple current and the voltage rating must be considered to prevent the capacitor
from failing.
3.7 Bootstrap capacitor
A 15 nF SMD capacitor (NPO or X7R) is required to drive the high side N-channel
MOSFET. The bootstrap capacitor is charged by means of an internal diode between the
STAB1 (pin 25) and the BOOT1 (pin 28) at the moment that the low side MOSFET is on.

AN10436
NXP Semiconductors
TDA8932B/33(B) Class-D audio amplifier
The voltage across the bootstrap capacitor is equal to VSTAB1 − VF (forward voltage drop
internal diode). Therefore a voltage rating of 16 V is sufficient for the two bootstrap
capacitors.
Remark: Only the TDA8933T device requires a 1 MΩ across both bootstrap capacitors
for discharging when the power stage becomes floating.
3.8 Output RC snubber network
An RC snubber network (see schematic Section 3.10) reduces the voltage ringing at the
power stage output (pin 22 and pin 27) after a voltage transition. A proper implementation
of this RC snubber will improve the EMC performance (see Figure 33).
The worst case power dissipation in the snubber resistor R5 (R12) is equal to:
P = 1 ⁄ 2 ⋅ C9 ⋅ ( V P ) 2 ⋅ 2 ⋅ f osc
(21)
Where:
C9 (C29) = snubber capacitor (F)
VP = supply voltage (V) (VDDP − VSSP)
fosc = oscillator frequency (Hz)
Example:
Substituting C9 = 470 pF, VP = 22 V and fosc = 320 kHz in Equation 21, results in a power
dissipation of 73 mW, requiring an 0805 SMD.
The voltage rating of the snubber capacitors (C9 and C26) should be 25 % higher than the
maximum supply voltage in the application.
3.9 Layout recommendations
The PCB design of an SMA is probably the most difficult part of the design, because it
might affect the audio performance, the EMC performance, the thermal performance, or
even the functionality of the TDA8932B/33(B).
3.9.1 EMC considerations
A double-sided PCB with plated through holes and 35 μm copper is recommended, but a
single layer is feasible as well.
Figure 29 shows a proposed floor plan of the critical components that contribute to a good
audio and EMC performance. The top side of this reference board is used to place the
leaded components and the copper plane for thermal reasons. For more information on
thermal considerations refer to Section 3.9.2.
The bottom side of the double-layer PCB is used to place the SMD components, including
the TDA8932B/33(B) and the majority of the signal tracks (see Figure 30 to Figure 33).

TDA8932B/33(B) Class-D audio amplifier
In general:
• Minimizing the current loops that carry fast alternating currents will reduce magnetic
radiation.
• Minimizing the length / size of the PWM output track (fast alternating voltages) as
much as possible, will prevent capacitive coupling to the environment. Otherwise this
could lead to disturbances of high impedance inputs.
3.9.2 Thermal considerations
The thermal resistance is determined by the selected SMD package, the PCB layout
implementation and the airflow inside the final enclosure of the amplifier.
The TDA8932B/33(B) is available in two different thermally enhanced SMD packages:
• TDA8932BT/33T in SO32 (SOT287-1) package for reflow and wave solder process.
• TDA8932BTW/33BTW in an HTSSOP32 (SOT549-1) package for reflow solder
process only.
Thermal resistance SO32 package
The SO32 package has special thermal corner leads, pins 1, 16, 17 and 32, increasing
the power capability (reducing the overall Rth(j-a)) when soldered to a thermal copper plane
at VSSA level. The SO package is very suitable for single layer PCB designs or PCB
designs with limited space for a thermal plane. Due to the package size the SO32 is able
to radiate a significant part of the heat directly into the air (thermal resistance is less
depending on the heat transfer via the PCB).
The thermal resistance of a S032 package will range from about 35 K/W to 50 K/W when
mounted on a single or two layer PCB (free air natural convection). Mounting a heat sink
can further decrease the thermal resistance with another 15 % to 25 %.
The thermal resistance measured at the compact reference PCB (55 mm × 45 mm) with
S032 package can be found in Section 5.3.
Thermal resistance HTSSOP32 package
The HTSSOP32 package has an exposed die-pad that only reduces the overall Rth(j-a)
significantly when soldered to a thermal copper plane at VSSA level (thermal resistance is
strongly depending on the size and the number of copper planes). This makes the
HTSSOP package very suitable for multilayer PCB designs with sufficient space for two or
three thermal copper planes. When applying three thermal copper planes it is even
possible to reach a continuous time output power of 2 × 25 W without a heat sink.
The thermal resistance of a HTSSOP32 package will range from about 25 K/W to 55 K/W
when mounted on a multilayer PCB without heat sink (free air natural convection).
Increasing the area of the thermal copper planes, the number of planes, or the copper
thickness will further reduce the thermal resistance Rth(j-a) of both packages.

TDA8932B/33(B) Class-D audio amplifier
Airflow inside enclosure
At a set level the airflow inside the enclosure will be limited compared to the situation in
free air natural convection. The airflow and other heat sources close to the amplifier will
influence the temperature significantly. Therefore it is always recommended (and the
responsibility of the set maker) to check the temperature behavior in the final environment
of the amplifier.
Remark: The TDA8932B/33(B) amplifier with the thermal foldback feature will never
cause audio interruption (audio holes) due to the limited airflow and the limited presence
of other heat sources close to the amplifier. Therefore this thermal foldback feature will
improve the reliable of the amplifier application under extreme temperature conditions
because the device itself will always stay within the Safe Operating Area (SOA).
Thermal resistance
Measured thermal resistance of both the SO32 and the HTSSOP32 reference design can
be found in Section 5.3.
Thermal via’s
Thermal via’s should be applied for an optimum heat flow to other layers of the PCB to
reduce the Rth(j−a). The thermal via’s should be placed close to corner leads and beyond
the package for the SO32 package (see PCB layout Section 3.12).
Remark: Do not use via’s with web construction, as they will have a high thermal
resistance.
Thermal calculations
To estimate the maximum junction temperature, Equation 22 can be used:
T j ( max ) ≈ T amb + R th ( j – a ) ⋅ P
(22)
Where:
Tamb = ambient temperature (°C)
P = power dissipation in U1 (W) (see Figure 50 or Figure 61, P versus PO)
Rth(j−a) = thermal resistance junction ambient (K/W)
Example:
Estimation of the junction temperature at Prated (for FTC requirements).
Power dissipation P = 2.5 W (see Figure 47) at Prated = 2 × 15 W in 4 Ω. The estimated
junction temperature at Tamb = 25 °C and Rth(j−a) = 44 K/W, will be Tj(max) = 135 °C
(approx.) (Equation 22), staying below the TF threshold level of 140 °C.
At a Prated = 2 × 25 W in 4 Ω the TF becomes active. The TF will gradually reduce the gain
and therefore reduce the long-term output power. See Section 5.3 for the output power as
a function of time, when the TF becomes active. The major benefit of the TF feature is that
the amplifier is not switched off when it reaches the maximum junction temperature.
Remark: Lifetime is guaranteed because the TDA8932B/33(B) stays within the safe
operating area due to the TF feature.

TDA8932B/33(B) Class-D audio amplifier
Remark: For thermal reliability and/or quality requirements on set level, an average music
power of ¼ Prated is assumed. This assumption can be made because audio amplifiers are
not driven continuously at the rated output power. Taking this into account, shows the
major benefit of Class-D as compared to Class-AB. Class-D dissipates less at ¼ Prated
and that makes it possible to comply easily with the thermal reliability and/or quality
regulations with a cheap SO32 or HTSSOP32 package without a heat sink.

4. Power supply
4.1 Supply filtering
A CLC phi filter (C1, L1 and C2) is used to keep the High Frequency (HF) currents locally
around the amplifier (see Figure 38). Two 100 nF SMD capacitors (C8 and C25) and an
electrolytic buffer capacitor (C1) should be placed close to the amplifier to minimize the
area of the HF current loops to avoid emission. The ferrite bead (L1) will avoid the flow of
HF currents in (mostly) large supply voltage loops. The analog voltage (VDDA) of the
TDA8932B/33(B) requires an RC filter of 10 Ω (R1) and 100 nF (C3) to avoid the HF noise
entering the analog controller part of the device.

4.1.1 Lifetime electrolytic capacitor
The ambient temperature and the ripple current have the greatest effect on the lifetime of
the aluminium electrolytic capacitors. The output power of an amplifier is assumed often to
be ¼ of the total rated output power. At a power rating of 2 × 3.75 W (¼ × 15 W) the
lifetime is not an issue when general-purpose electrolytic capacitors (with a value of at
least 220 μF) are used.
4.2 Supply GND connection
The best practice to avoid any common ground path with the power supply is to leave the
supply floating. The power supply should be attached to GND at the amplifier side. The
differential input should be grounded at the sound processor and not at the amplifier side.

4.3 Low frequency supply pumping effect
A Single Ended (SE) Class-D amplifier will deliver energy back to the supply line (VP)
during the negative part of the audio signal. Because most power supplies are not capable
of sinking energy, the supply voltage will increase especially when driving the amplifier at
low audio frequencies. This phenomenon is often called the pumping effect.
The voltage increase caused by the pumping effect depends on:
•
•
•
•
•
The speaker impedance.
The supply voltage.
The audio signal frequency.
The capacitance value of the supply line.
The source/sink current of other channels (including the quiescent current of the
amplifier).
• The current drawn from other circuits attached to the same supply line.
This voltage increase might trigger the OVP of the audio amplifier and/or cause incorrect
control behavior of the regulated power supply.
The most effective way to overcome the pumping effect in a stereo SE application is to
apply one of the input signals to the negative input to invert the phase of that particular
output (see Figure 40).

Fig 40. Inverting the phase of one output and input (of channel 2)
With this method, OUT1 and OUT2 are out of phase to minimize the pumping effect. The
inversion of one of the outputs will also halve the peak current drawn from the power
supply at a low audio frequency.
Remark: Do not forget to change the polarity of the speaker connection of channel 2 to
get the original phase of the signal from the speaker.
4.4 Unregulated or weak power supply
The voltage ripple of an unregulated power supply can be quite significant, due to:
• The output impedance (load regulation).
• A variation on the AC mains (line regulation).
• A cross regulation in a multiple output SMPS.
Therefore, when operating from an asymmetrical supply, this voltage ripple will cause
asymmetrical clipping. This might trigger also the UBP (UnBalance Protection) when the
voltage ripple exceeds either −20 % or +33 % of the nominal supply voltage (see also
Section 2.6.6). Therefore, any unregulated power supply (an auxiliary voltage from either
an SMPS or a 50 Hz / 60 Hz transformer) might need some attention to minimize the load,
the line and the cross regulation.
The voltage dip during a transient from no load condition to full load condition should be
considered. The average supply current in full load for a stereo amplifier can be estimated
as follows:
2 ⋅ Po
SE: I P(avg) = ------------------η po ⋅ V P
(23)
Po
BTL: I P(avg) = ------------------η po ⋅ V P
(24)
Where:
Po = RMS output power per channel (W)
ηpo = output power efficiency, audio amplifier

Example:
A 2 × 15 W amplifier at 22 V and 89 % efficiency will draw an average supply current of
1.53 A.
Remark: For either a 50 Hz / 60 Hz transformer or a weak auxiliary supply, it might be
worthwhile to consider the use of a symmetrical supply to avoid asymmetrical clipping
(early clipping of the positive output voltage).

5.3 Thermal characterization
The measured thermal resistance of the reference design with an SO32 package, a
double-sided FR4 PCB (55 mm × 45 mm) and 35 μm copper, is equal to 44 K/W (free air
and natural convection).
When the junction temperature reaches the threshold level of the Thermal Foldback
(140 °C to 150 °C), it starts to reduce gradually the output power so the maximum
temperature will stay always within the Safe Operating Area.
Figure 62 and Figure 63 show the TDA8932BT (S032) output power as a function of time
at different supply voltages. The total output power of the device is 2 × Po, because the
measurement is performed at SE configuration.
