DESCRIPTION
The TPA3107D2 is a 15-W (per channel) efficient,
Class-D audio power amplifier for driving bridged-tied
stereo speakers. The TPA3107D2 can drive stereo
speakers as low as 6 Ω. The high efficiency of the
TPA3107D2, 87%, eliminates the need for an
external heat sink when playing music.
The gain of the amplifier is controlled by two gain
select pins. The gain selections are 20, 26, 32,
36 dB.
The outputs are fully protected against shorts to
GND, VCC, and output-to-output shorts with an auto
recovery feature and monitor output.

Stresses beyond those listed under absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, and functional operations of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under recommended operating
conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
The TPA3107D2 incorporates an exposed thermal pad on the underside of the chip. This acts as a heatsink, and it must be connected
to a thermally dissipating plane for proper power dissipation. Failure to do so may result in the device going into thermal protection
shutdown. See TI Technical Briefs SCBA017D and SLUA271 for more information about using the QFN thermal pad. See TI Technical
Briefs SLMA002 for more information about using the HTQFP thermal pad.

CLASS-D OPERATION
This section focuses on the class-D operation of the TPA3107D2.
Traditional Class-D Modulation Scheme
The traditional class-D modulation scheme, which is used in the TPA032D0x family, has a differential output
where each output is 180 degrees out-of-phase and changes from ground to the supply voltage, VCC. Therefore,
the differential prefiltered output varies between positive and negative VCC, where filtered 50% duty cycle yields
0 V across the load. The traditional class-D modulation scheme with voltage and current waveforms is shown in
Figure 20. Note that even at an average of 0 V across the load (50% duty cycle), the current to the load is high,
causing high loss and thus causing a high supply current.

TPA3107D2 Modulation Scheme
The TPA3107D2 uses a modulation scheme that still has each output switching from 0 to the supply voltage.
However, OUTP and OUTN are now in phase with each other with no input. The duty cycle of OUTP is greater
than 50% and OUTN is less than 50% for positive output voltages. The duty cycle of OUTP is less than 50%
and OUTN is greater than 50% for negative output voltages. The voltage across the load sits at 0 V throughout
most of the switching period, greatly reducing the switching current, which reduces any I2R losses in the load.

Efficiency: LC Filter Required With the Traditional Class-D Modulation Scheme
The main reason that the traditional class-D amplifier needs an output filter is that the switching waveform
results in maximum current flow. This causes more loss in the load, which causes lower efficiency. The ripple
current is large for the traditional modulation scheme, because the ripple current is proportional to voltage
multiplied by the time at that voltage. The differential voltage swing is 2 x VCC, and the time at each voltage is
half the period for the traditional modulation scheme. An ideal LC filter is needed to store the ripple current from
each half cycle for the next half cycle, while any resistance causes power dissipation. The speaker is both
resistive and reactive, whereas an LC filter is almost purely reactive.
The TPA3107D2 modulation scheme has little loss in the load without a filter because the pulses are short and
the change in voltage is VCC instead of 2 x VCC. As the output power increases, the pulses widen, making the
ripple current larger. Ripple current could be filtered with an LC filter for increased efficiency, but for most
applications the filter is not needed.
An LC filter with a cutoff frequency less than the class-D switching frequency allows the switching current to flow
through the filter instead of the load. The filter has less resistance but higher impedance at the switching
frequency than the speaker, which results in less power dissipation, therefore increasing efficiency.
When to Use an Output Filter for EMI Suppression
Design the TPA3107D2 without the filter if the traces from amplifier to speaker are short (< 10 cm). Powered
speakers, where the speaker is in the same enclosure as the amplifier, is a typical application for class-D without
a filter.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
Most applications require a ferrite bead filter. The ferrite filter reduces EMI around 1 MHz and higher (FCC and
CE only test radiated emissions greater than 30 MHz). When selecting a ferrite bead, choose one with high
impedance at high frequencies, but low impedance at low frequencies.
Use an LC output filter if there are low frequency (<1 MHz) EMI-sensitive circuits and/or there are long wires
from the amplifier to the speaker.
When both an LC filter and a ferrite bead filter are used, the LC filter should be placed as close as possible to
the IC followed by the ferrite bead filter.

The Texas Instruments patent-pending adaptive dynamic range control (ADRC) technology removes the notch
inherent in class-D audio power amplifiers when they come out of clipping. This effect is more severe at higher
frequencies as shown in Figure 26.
Gain setting via GAIN0 and GAIN1 inputs
The gain of the TPA3107D2 is set by two input terminals, GAIN0 and GAIN1.
The gains listed in Table 1 are realized by changing the taps on the input resistors and feedback resistors inside
the amplifier. This causes the input impedance (ZI) to be dependent on the gain setting. The actual gain settings
are controlled by ratios of resistors, so the gain variation from part-to-part is small. However, the input
impedance from part-to-part at the same gain may shift by ±20% due to shifts in the actual resistance of the
input resistors.
For design purposes, the input network (discussed in the next section) should be designed assuming an input
impedance of 12.8 kΩ, which is the absolute minimum input impedance of the TPA3107D2. At the lower gain
settings, the input impedance could increase as high as 38.4 kΩ

Changing the gain setting can vary the input resistance of the amplifier from its smallest value, 16 kΩ± 20%, to
the largest value, 32 kΩ± 20%. As a result, if a single capacitor is used in the input high-pass filter, the -3 dB or
cutoff frequency may change when changing gain steps.

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 the input impedance of the amplifier (ZI) form a
high-pass filter with the corner frequency determined in Equation 2.
-3 dB
fc =

2p Zi Ci

(2)
The value of CI is important, as it directly affects the bass (low-frequency) performance of the circuit. Consider
the example where ZI is 20 kΩ and the specification calls for a flat bass response down to 20 Hz. Equation 2 is
reconfigured as Equation 3.
Ci =
1
2p Zi fc
(3)
In this example, CI is 0.4 µF; so, one would likely choose a value of 0.47 µF as this value is commonly used. If
the gain is known and is constant, use ZI from Table 1 to calculate CI. A further consideration for this capacitor is
the leakage path from the input source through the input network (CI) and the feedback network 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 2 V, which is likely higher than the source dc level. Note that it is
important to confirm the capacitor polarity in the application. Additionally, lead-free solder can create dc offset
voltages and it is important to ensure that boards are cleaned properly.
Power Supply Decoupling, CS
The TPA3107D2 is a high-performance CMOS audio amplifier that requires adequate power supply decoupling
to ensure that 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 to 1 µF placed as close as possible to the device VCC lead works best.
For filtering lower frequency noise signals, a larger aluminum electrolytic capacitor of 220 µF or greater placed
near the audio power amplifier is recommended. The 220 µF capacitor also serves as local storage capacitor for
supplying current during large signal transients on the amplifier outputs. The PVCC terminals provide the power
to the output transistors, so a 220 µF or larger capacitor should be placed on each PVCC terminal. A 10 µF
capacitor on the AVCC terminal is adequate.

Bootstrap Capacitors
The full H-bridge output stages use only NMOS transistors. Therefore, they require bootstrap capacitors for the
high side of each output to turn on correctly. A 220-nF ceramic capacitor, rated for at least 25 V, must be
connected from each output to its corresponding bootstrap input. Specifically, one 220-nF capacitor must be
connected from xOUTP to BSxx, and one 220-nF capacitor must be connected from xOUTN to BSxx. (See the
application circuit diagram in Figure 19.)
The bootstrap capacitors connected between the BSxx pins and corresponding output function as a floating
power supply for the high-side N-channel power MOSFET gate drive circuitry. During each high-side switching
cycle, the bootstrap capacitors hold the gate-to-source voltage high enough to keep the high-side MOSFETs
turned on.
VCLAMP Capacitors
To ensure that the maximum gate-to-source voltage for the NMOS output transistors is not exceeded, two
internal regulators clamp the gate voltage. Two 1-µF capacitors must be connected from VCLAMPL (pin 40) and
VCLAMPR (pin 41) to ground and must be rated for at least 16 V. The voltages at the VCLAMPx terminals may
vary with VCC and may not be used for powering any other circuitry.
Internal Regulated 4-V Supply (VREG)
The VREG terminal (pin 19) is the output of an internally generated 4-V supply, used for the oscillator,
preamplifier, and gain control circuitry. It requires a 10-nF capacitor, placed close to the pin, to keep the
regulator stable.
This regulated voltage can be used to control GAIN0, GAIN1, MSTR/SLV, and MUTE terminals, but should not
be used to drive external circuitry.
VBYP Capacitor Selection
The internal bias generator (VBYP) nominally provides a 1.25-V internal bias for the preamplifier stages. The
external input capacitors and this internal reference allow the inputs to be biased within the optimal
common-mode range of the input preamplifiers.
The selection of the capacitor value on the VBYP terminal is critical for achieving the best device performance.
During power up or recovery from the shutdown state, the VBYP capacitor determines the rate at which the
amplifier starts up. When the voltage on the VBYP capacitor equals VBYP, the device starts a 16.4-ms timer.
When this timer completes, the outputs start switching. The charge rate of the capacitor is calculated using the
standard charging formula for a capacitor, I = C x dV/dT. The charge current is nominally equal to 250µA and dV
is equal to VBYP. For example, a 1-µF capacitor on VBYP would take 5 ms to reach the value of VBYP and
begin a 16.4-ms count before the outputs turn on. This equates to a turn-on time of <30 ms for a 1-µF capacitor
on the VBYP terminal.
A secondary function of the VBYP capacitor is to filter high-frequency noise on the internal 1.25-V bias
generator. A value of at least 0.47µF is recommended for the VBYP capacitor. For the best power-up and
shutdown pop performance, the VBYP capacitor should be greater than or equal to the input capacitors.
ROSC Resistor Selection
The resistor connected to the ROSC terminal controls the class-D output switching frequency using Equation 4:
1
FOSC =
2 x ROSC x COSC
(4)
COSC is an internal capacitor that is nominally equal to 20 pF. Variation over process and temperature can
result in a ±15% change in this capacitor value.
For example, if ROSC is fixed at 100 kΩ, the frequency from device to device with this fixed resistance could
vary from 217 kHz to 294 kHz with a 15% variation in the internal COSC capacitor. The tolerance of the ROSC
resistor should also be considered to determine the range of expected switching frequencies from device to
device. It is recommended that 1% tolerance resistors be used.

Differential Input
The differential input stage of the amplifier cancels any noise that appears on both input lines of the channel. To
use the TPA3107D2 with a differential source, connect the positive lead of the audio source to the INP input and
the negative lead from the audio source to the INN input. To use the TPA3107D2 with a single-ended source, ac
ground the INP or INN input through a capacitor equal in value to the input capacitor on INN or INP and apply
the audio source to either input. In a single-ended input application, the unused input should be ac grounded at
the audio source instead of at the device input for best noise performance.
SHUTDOWN OPERATION
The TPA3107D2 employs a shutdown mode of operation designed to reduce supply current (ICC) to the absolute
minimum level during periods of nonuse for power conservation. The SHUTDOWN input terminal should be held
high (see specification table for trip point) during normal operation when the amplifier is in use. Pulling
SHUTDOWN low causes the outputs to mute and the amplifier to enter a low-current state. Never leave
SHUTDOWN unconnected, because amplifier operation would be unpredictable.
For the best power-off pop performance, place the amplifier in the shutdown or mute mode prior to removing the
power supply voltage.
MUTE Operation
The MUTE pin is an input for controlling the output state of the TPA3107D2. A logic high on this terminal
disables the outputs. A logic low on this pin enables the outputs. This terminal may be used as a quick
disable/enable of outputs when changing channels on a television or transitioning between different audio
sources.
The MUTE terminal should never be left floating. For power conservation, the SHUTDOWN terminal should be
used to reduce the quiescent current to the absolute minimum level.
The MUTE terminal can also be used with the FAULT output to automatically recover from a short-circuit event.
When a short-circuit event occurs, the FAULT terminal transitions high indicating a short-circuit has been
detected. When directly connected to MUTE, the MUTE terminal transitions high, and clears the internal fault
flag. This causes the FAULT terminal to cycle low, and normal device operation resumes if the short-circuit is
removed from the output. If a short remains at the output, the cycle continues until the short is removed.
If external MUTE control is desired, and automatic recovery from a short-circuit event is also desired, an OR
gate can be used to combine the functionality of the FAULT output and external MUTE control, see Figure 27.

MSTR/SLV and SYNC operation
The MSTR/SLV and SYNC terminals can be used to synchronize the frequency of the class-D output switching.
When the MSTR/SLV terminal is high, the output switching frequency is determined by the selection of the
resistor connected to the ROSC terminal (see ROSC Resistor Selection). The SYNC terminal becomes an
output in this mode, and the frequency of this output is also determined by the selection of the ROSC resistor.
This TTL compatible, push-pull output can be connected to another TPA3107D2, configured in the slave mode.
The output switching is synchronized to avoid any beat frequencies that could occur in the audio band when two
class-D amplifiers in the same system are switching at slightly different frequencies.
When the MSTR/SLV terminal is low, the output switching frequency is determined by the incoming square wave
on the SYNC input. The SYNC terminal becomes an input in this mode and accepts a TTL compatible square
wave from another TPA3107D2 configured in the master mode or from an external GPIO. If connecting to an
external GPIO, recommended frequencies are 200 kHz to 300 kHz for proper device operation, and the
maximum amplitude is 4 V.
USING LOW-ESR CAPACITORS
Low-ESR capacitors are recommended throughout this application 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.
SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION AND AUTOMATIC RECOVERY FEATURE
The TPA3107D2 has short-circuit protection circuitry on the outputs that prevents damage to the device during
output-to-output shorts, output-to-GND shorts, and output-to-VCC shorts. When a short circuit is detected on the
outputs, the part immediately disables the output drive. This is a latched fault and must be reset by cycling the
voltage on the SHUTDOWN pin or MUTE pin. This clears the short-circuit flag and allows for normal operation if
the short was removed. If the short was not removed, the protection circuitry again activates.
The FAULT terminal can be used for automatic recovery from a short-circuit event, or used to monitor the status
with an external GPIO. For automatic recovery from a short-circuit event, connect the FAULT terminal directly to
the MUTE terminal. When a short-circuit event occurs, the FAULT terminal transitions high indicating a
short-circuit has been detected. When directly connected to MUTE, the MUTE terminal transitions high, and
clears the internal fault flag. This causes the FAULT terminal to cycle low, and normal device operation resumes
if the short-circuit is removed from the output. If a short remains at the output, the cycle continues until the short
is removed. If external MUTE control is desired, and automatic recovery from a short-circuit event is also
desired, an OR gate can be used to combine the functionality of the FAULT output and external MUTE control,
see Figure 27.
THERMAL PROTECTION
Thermal protection on the TPA3107D2 prevents damage to the device when the internal die temperature
exceeds 150°C. There is a ±15°C tolerance on this trip point from device to device. Once the die temperature
exceeds the thermal set point, the device enters into the shutdown state and the outputs are disabled. This is
not a latched fault. The thermal fault is cleared once the temperature of the die is reduced by 30°C. The device
begins normal operation at this point with no external system interaction.

PRINTED-CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB) LAYOUT GENERAL GUIDELINES
Because the TPA3107D2 is a class-D amplifier that switches at a high frequency, the layout of the printed-circuit
board (PCB) should be optimized according to the following guidelines for the best possible performance.
• Decoupling capacitors—The high-frequency 1-µF decoupling capacitors should be placed as close to the
PVCC and AVCC terminals as possible. The VBYP capacitor, VREG capacitor, and VCLAMP capacitor
should also be placed as close to the device as possible. Large bulk power supply decoupling capacitors
should be placed near the TPA3107D2 on the PVCCL, PVCCR, and AVCC terminals.
• Grounding—The AVCC decoupling capacitor, VREG capacitor, VBYP capacitor, and ROSC resistor should
each be grounded to analog ground. The PVCC decoupling capacitors and VCLAMP capacitors should each
be grounded to power ground. Analog ground and power ground should be connected at the thermal pad,
which should be used as a central ground connection or star ground for the TPA3107D2.
• Output filter—The ferrite EMI filter should be placed as close to the output terminals as possible for the best
EMI performance. The LC filter should be placed close to the outputs.
For an example layout, see the TPA3107D2 Evaluation Module User Manual, (SLOU190). Both the EVM user
manual and the thermal pad application note are available on the TI Web site at http://www.ti.com.
BASIC MEASUREMENT SYSTEM
This application note focuses on methods that use the basic equipment listed below:
• Audio analyzer or spectrum analyzer
• Digital multimeter (DMM)
• Oscilloscope
• Twisted-pair wires
• Signal generator
• Power resistor(s)
• Linear regulated power supply
• Filter components
• EVM or other complete audio circuit
Figure 28 shows the block diagrams of basic measurement systems for class-AB and class-D amplifiers. A sine
wave is normally used as the input signal because it consists of the fundamental frequency only (no other
harmonics are present). An analyzer is then connected to the APA output to measure the voltage output. The
analyzer must be capable of measuring the entire audio bandwidth. A regulated dc power supply is used to
reduce the noise and distortion injected into the APA through the power pins. A System Two audio
measurement system (AP-II) (Reference 1) by Audio Precision includes the signal generator and analyzer in one
package.
The generator output and amplifier input must be ac-coupled. However, the EVMs already have the ac-coupling
capacitors, (CIN), so no additional coupling is required. The generator output impedance should be low to avoid
attenuating the test signal, and is important because the input resistance of APAs is not high. Conversely, the
analyzer-input impedance should be high. The output resistance, ROUT, of the APA is normally in the hundreds
of milliohms and can be ignored for all but the power-related calculations.
Figure 28(a) shows a class-AB amplifier system. It takes an analog signal input and produces an analog signal
output. This amplifier circuit can be directly connected to the AP-II or other analyzer input.
This is not true of the class-D amplifier system shown in Figure 28(b), which requires low-pass filters in most
cases in order to measure the audio output waveforms. This is because it takes an analog input signal and
converts it into a pulse-width modulated (PWM) output signal that is not accurately processed by some
analyzers.

Figure 28. Audio Measurement Systems
The TPA31071D2 uses a modulation scheme that does not require an output filter for operation, but they do
sometimes require an RC low-pass filter when making measurements. This is because some analyzer inputs
cannot accurately process the rapidly changing square-wave output and therefore record an extremely high level
of distortion. The RC low-pass measurement filter is used to remove the modulated waveforms so the analyzer
can measure the output sine wave.
DIFFERENTIAL INPUT AND BTL OUTPUT
All of the class-D APAs and many class-AB APAs have differential inputs and bridge-tied load (BTL) outputs.
Differential inputs have two input pins per channel and amplify the difference in voltage between the pins.
Differential inputs reduce the common-mode noise and distortion of the input circuit. BTL is a term commonly
used in audio to describe differential outputs. BTL outputs have two output pins providing voltages that are 180
degrees out of phase. The load is connected between these pins. This has the added benefits of quadrupling
the output power to the load and eliminating a dc blocking capacitor.
A block diagram of the measurement circuit is shown in Figure 29. The differential input is a balanced input,
meaning the positive (+) and negative (-) pins have the same impedance to ground. Similarly, the BTL output
equates to a balanced output.

Figure 29. Differential Input, BTL Output Measurement Circuit
The generator should have balanced outputs, and the signal should be balanced for best results. An unbalanced
output can be used, but it may create a ground loop that affects the measurement accuracy. The analyzer must
also have balanced inputs for the system to be fully balanced, thereby cancelling out any common-mode noise
in the circuit and providing the most accurate measurement.
The following general rules should be followed when connecting to APAs with differential inputs and BTL
outputs:
• Use a balanced source to supply the input signal.
• Use an analyzer with balanced inputs.
• Use twisted-pair wire for all connections.
• Use shielding when the system environment is noisy.
• Ensure that the cables from the power supply to the APA, and from the APA to the load, can handle the
large currents (see Table 2).
Table 2 shows the recommended wire size for the power supply and load cables of the APA system. The real
concern is the dc or ac power loss that occurs as the current flows through the cable. These recommendations
are based on 12-inch long wire with a 20-kHz sine-wave signal at 25°C.

CLASS-D RC LOW-PASS FILTER
An RC filter is used to reduce the square-wave output when the analyzer inputs cannot process the pulse-width
modulated class-D output waveform. This filter has little effect on the measurement accuracy because the cutoff
frequency is set above the audio band. The high frequency of the square wave has negligible impact on
measurement accuracy because it is well above the audible frequency range, and the speaker cone cannot
respond at such a fast rate. The RC filter is not required when an LC low-pass filter is used, such as with the
class-D APAs that employ the traditional modulation scheme (TPA032D0x, TPA005Dxx).
The component values of the RC filter are selected using the equivalent output circuit as shown in Figure 30. RL
is the load impedance that the APA is driving for the test. The analyzer input impedance specifications should be
available and substituted for RANA and CANA. The filter components, RFILT and CFILT, can then be derived for the
system. The filter should be grounded to the APA near the output ground pins or at the power supply ground pin
to minimize ground loops.

Figure 30. Measurement Low-Pass Filter Derivation Circuit-Class-D APAs
The transfer function for this circuit is shown in Equation 5 where ωO = REQCEQ, REQ = RFILT || RANA and
CEQ = (CFILT + CANA). The filter frequency should be set above fMAX, the highest frequency of the measurement
bandwidth, to avoid attenuating the audio signal. Equation 6 provides this cutoff frequency, fC. The value of RFILT
must be chosen large enough to minimize current that is shunted from the load, yet small enough to minimize
the attenuation of the analyzer-input voltage through the voltage divider formed by RFILT and RANA. A general
rule is that RFILT should be small (~100 Ω) for most measurements. This reduces the measurement error to less
than 1% for RANA ≥ 10 kΩ.

An exception occurs with the efficiency measurements, where RFILT must be increased by a factor of ten to
reduce the current shunted through the filter. CFILT must be decreased by a factor of ten to maintain the same
cutoff frequency. See Table 3 for the recommended filter component values.
Once fC is determined and RFILT is selected, the filter capacitance is calculated using . When the calculated
value is not available, it is better to choose a smaller capacitance value to keep fC above the minimum desired
value calculated in Equation 7.

Table 3 shows recommended values of RFILT and CFILT based on common component values. The value of fC
was originally calculated to be 28 kHz for an fMAX of 20 kHz. CFILT, however, was calculated to be 57,000 pF, but
the nearest values of 56,000 pF and 51,000 pF were not available. A 47,000-pF capacitor was used instead,
and fC is 34 kHz, which is above the desired value of 28 kHz.
