description
The TPA731 is a bridge-tied load (BTL) audio power amplifier developed especially for low-voltage applications
where internal speakers are required. Operating with a 3.3-V supply, the TPA731 can deliver 250-mW of
continuous power into a BTL 8-Ω load at less than 0.6% THD+N throughout voice band frequencies. Although
this device is characterized out to 20 kHz, its operation is optimized for narrower band applications such as
wireless communications. The BTL configuration eliminates the need for external coupling capacitors on the
output in most applications, which is particularly important for small battery-powered equipment. This device
features a shutdown mode for power-sensitive applications with a supply current of 1.5 nA during shutdown.
The TPA731 is available in an 8-pin SOIC surface-mount package and the surface-mount PowerPAD MSOP,
which reduces board space by 50% and height by 40%.

bridged-tied load
Figure 23 shows a linear audio power amplifier (APA) in a BTL configuration. The TPA731 BTL amplifier consists
of two linear amplifiers driving both ends of the load. There are several potential benefits to this differential drive
configuration but initially consider power to the load. The differential drive to the speaker means that as one side
is slewing up, the other side is slewing down, and vice versa. This, in effect, doubles the voltage swing on the
load as compared to a ground referenced load. Plugging 2 × VO(PP) into the power equation, where voltage is
squared, yields 4× the output power from the same supply rail and load impedance (see equation 1).

Figure 23. Bridge-Tied Load Configuration
In a typical portable handheld equipment sound channel operating at 3.3 V, bridging raises the power into an
8-Ω speaker from a singled-ended (SE, ground reference) limit of 62.5 mW to 250 mW. In sound power that is
a 6-dB improvement, which is loudness that can be heard. In addition to increased power, there are frequency
response concerns. Consider the single-supply SE configuration shown in Figure 24. A coupling capacitor is
required to block the dc offset voltage from reaching the load. These capacitors can be quite large
(approximately 33 µF to 1000 µF) so they tend to be expensive, heavy, occupy valuable PCB area, and have
the additional drawback of limiting low-frequency performance of the system. This frequency-limiting effect is
due to the high pass filter network created with the speaker impedance and the coupling capacitance and is
calculated with equation 2.

bridged-tied load (continued)
For example, a 68-µF capacitor with an 8-Ω speaker would attenuate low frequencies below 293 Hz. The BTL
configuration cancels the dc offsets, which eliminates the need for the blocking capacitors. Low-frequency
performance is then limited only by the input network and speaker response. Cost and PCB space are also
minimized by eliminating the bulky coupling capacitor.

Increasing power to the load does carry a penalty of increased internal power dissipation. The increased
dissipation is understandable considering that the BTL configuration produces 4× the output power of a SE
configuration. Internal dissipation versus output power is discussed further in the thermal considerations
section.
BTL amplifier efficiency
The primary cause of linear amplifiers inefficiencies is voltage drop across the output stage transistors. There
are two components of the internal voltage drop. One is the headroom or dc voltage drop that varies inversely
to output power. The second component is due to the sinewave nature of the output. The total voltage drop can
be calculated by subtracting the RMS value of the output voltage from VDD. The internal voltage drop multiplied
by the RMS value of the supply current, IDDrms, determines the internal power dissipation of the amplifier.
An easy-to-use equation to calculate efficiency starts out being equal to the ratio of power from the power supply
to the power delivered to the load. To accurately calculate the RMS values of power in the load and in the
amplifier, the current and voltage waveform shapes must first be understood (see Figure 25).

BTL amplifier efficiency (continued)
Although the voltages and currents for SE and BTL are sinusoidal in the load, currents from the supply are very
different between SE and BTL configurations. In an SE application the current waveform is a half-wave rectified
shape, whereas in BTL it is a full-wave rectified waveform. This means RMS conversion factors are different.
Keep in mind that for most of the waveform both the push and pull transistors are not on at the same time, which
supports the fact that each amplifier in the BTL device only draws current from the supply for half the waveform.
The following equations are the basis for calculating amplifier efficiency.

Table 1 employs equation 4 to calculate efficiencies for three different output power levels. The efficiency of the
amplifier is quite low for lower power levels and rises sharply as power to the load is increased, resulting in a
nearly flat internal power dissipation over the normal operating range. The internal dissipation at full output
power is less than in the half power range. Calculating the efficiency for a specific system is the key to proper
power supply design.

A final point to remember about linear amplifiers (either SE or BTL) is how to manipulate the terms in the
efficiency equation to utmost advantage when possible. In equation 4, VDD is in the denominator. This indicates
that as VDD goes down, efficiency goes up.

application schematics (continued)
It is important to note that using the additional RF resistor connected between IN+ and BYPASS causes VDD/2
to shift slightly, which could influence the THD+N performance of the amplifier. Although an additional external
op-amp could be used to buffer BYPASS from RF, tests in the lab have shown that the THD+N performance is
only minimally affected by operating in the fully differential mode as shown in Figure 27. The following sections
discuss the selection of the components used in Figures 26 and 27.

BTL mode operation brings about the factor 2 in the gain equation due to the inverting amplifier mirroring the
voltage swing across the load. Given that the TPA731 is a MOS amplifier, the input impedance is very high;
consequently input leakage currents are not generally a concern, although noise in the circuit increases as the
value of RF increases. In addition, a certain range of RF values is required for proper start-up operation of the
amplifier. Taken together it is recommended that the effective impedance seen by the inverting node of the
amplifier be set between 5 kΩ and 20 kΩ. The effective impedance is calculated in equation 6.

As an example consider an input resistance of 10 kΩ and a feedback resistor of 50 kΩ. The BTL gain of the
amplifier would be −10 V/V and the effective impedance at the inverting terminal would be 8.3 kΩ, which is well
within the recommended range.
For high performance applications, metal film resistors are recommended because they tend to have lower
noise levels than carbon resistors. For values of RF above 50 kΩ, the amplifier tends to become unstable due
to a pole formed from RF and the inherent input capacitance of the MOS input structure. For this reason, a small
compensation capacitor of approximately 5 pF should be placed in parallel with RF when RF is greater than
50 kΩ. This, in effect, creates a low-pass filter network with the cutoff frequency defined in equation 7.

input capacitor, CI
In the typical application an input capacitor, CI, is required to allow the amplifier to bias the input signal to the
proper dc level for optimum operation. In this case, CI and RI form a high-pass filter with the corner frequency
determined in equation 8.

The value of CI is important to consider as it directly affects the bass (low frequency) performance of the circuit.

In this example, CI is 0.40 µF, so one would likely choose a value in the range of 0.47 µF to 1 µF. A further
consideration for this capacitor is the leakage path from the input source through the input network (RI, CI) and
the feedback resistor (RF) to the load. This leakage current creates a dc offset voltage at the input to the amplifier
that reduces useful headroom, especially in high gain applications. For this reason a low-leakage tantalum or
ceramic capacitor is the best choice. When polarized capacitors are used, the positive side of the capacitor
should face the amplifier input in most applications, as the dc level there is held at VDD/2, which is likely higher
than the source dc level. It is important to confirm the capacitor polarity in the application.
power supply decoupling, CS
The TPA731 is a high-performance CMOS audio amplifier that requires adequate power supply decoupling to
ensure the output total harmonic distortion (THD) is as low as possible. Power supply decoupling also prevents
oscillations for long lead lengths between the amplifier and the speaker. The optimum decoupling is achieved
by using two capacitors of different types that target different types of noise on the power supply leads. For
higher frequency transients, spikes, or digital hash on the line, a good low equivalent-series-resistance (ESR)
ceramic capacitor, typically 0.1 µF, placed as close as possible to the device VDD lead works best. For filtering
lower-frequency noise signals, a larger aluminum electrolytic capacitor of 10 µF or greater placed near the audio
power amplifier is recommended.

midrail bypass capacitor, CB
The midrail bypass capacitor, CB, is the most critical capacitor and serves several important functions. During
start-up or recovery from shutdown mode, CB determines the rate at which the amplifier starts up. The second
function is to reduce noise produced by the power supply caused by coupling into the output drive signal. This
noise is from the midrail generation circuit internal to the amplifier, which appears as degraded PSRR and
THD + N. The capacitor is fed from a 250-kΩ source inside the amplifier. To keep the start-up pop as low as
possible, the relationship shown in equation 10 should be maintained. This insures the input capacitor is fully
charged before the bypass capacitor is fully charged and the amplifier starts up.

As an example, consider a circuit where CB is 2.2 µF, CI is 0.47 µF, RF is 50 kΩ, and RI is 10 kΩ. Inserting these
values into the equation 10 we get:
18.2 v 35.5
which satisfies the rule. Bypass capacitor, CB, values of 0.1 µF to 2.2 µF ceramic or tantalum low-ESR capacitors
are recommended for the best THD and noise performance.
using low-ESR capacitors
Low-ESR capacitors are recommended throughout this applications section. A real (as opposed to ideal)
capacitor can be modeled simply as a resistor in series with an ideal capacitor. The voltage drop across this
resistor minimizes the beneficial effects of the capacitor in the circuit. The lower the equivalent value of this
resistance, the more the real capacitor behaves like an ideal capacitor.
5-V versus 3.3-V operation
The TPA731 operates over a supply range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V. This data sheet provides full specifications for 5-V
and 3.3-V operation, as these are considered to be the two most common standard voltages. There are no
special considerations for 3.3-V versus 5-V operation with respect to supply bypassing, gain setting, or stability.
The most important consideration is that of output power. Each amplifier in TPA731 can produce a maximum
voltage swing of VDD − 1 V. This means, for 3.3-V operation, clipping starts to occur when VO(PP) = 2.3 V as
opposed to VO(PP) = 4 V at 5 V. The reduced voltage swing subsequently reduces maximum output power into
an 8-Ω load before distortion becomes significant.
Operation from 3.3-V supplies, as can be shown from the efficiency formula in equation 4, consumes
approximately two-thirds the supply power of operation from 5-V supplies for a given output-power level.

headroom and thermal considerations
Linear power amplifiers dissipate a significant amount of heat in the package under normal operating conditions.
A typical music CD requires 12 dB to 15 dB of dynamic headroom to pass the loudest portions without distortion
as compared with the average power output. From the TPA731 data sheet, one can see that when the TPA731
is operating from a 5-V supply into an 8-Ω speaker that 700 mW peaks are available. Converting watts to dB:

Subtracting the headroom restriction to obtain the average listening level without distortion yields:
−1.5 dB − 15 dB = −16.5 (15 dB headroom)
−1.5 dB − 12 dB = −13.5 (12 dB headroom)
−1.5 dB − 9 dB = −10.5 (9 dB headroom)
−1.5 dB − 6 dB = −7.5 (6 dB headroom)
−1.5 dB − 3 dB = −4.5 (3 dB headroom)
Converting dB back into watts:

This is valuable information to consider when attempting to estimate the heat dissipation requirements for the
amplifier system. Comparing the absolute worst case, which is 700 mW of continuous power output with 0 dB
of headroom, against 12 dB and 15 dB applications drastically affects maximum ambient temperature ratings
for the system. Using the power dissipation curves for a 5-V, 8-Ω system, the internal dissipation in the TPA731
and maximum ambient temperatures is shown in Table 2.
