AD SSM2311-MINI

Filterless High Efficiency
Mono 3 W Class-D Audio Amplifier
SSM2311
The SSM2311 features a high efficiency, low noise modulation
scheme that does not require any external LC output filters. The
modulation continues to provide high efficiency even at low output
power. It operates with 90% efficiency at 1.4 W into 8 Ω or 85%
efficiency at 3 W into 3 Ω from a 5.0 V supply and has an SNR that
is better than 98 dB. Spread-spectrum pulse density modulation
is used to provide lower EMI-radiated emissions compared with
other Class-D architectures.
FEATURES
Filterless Class-D amplifier with Σ-Δ modulation
No sync necessary when using multiple Analog Devices, Inc.,
Class-D amplifiers
3 W into 3 Ω load and 1.4 W into 8 Ω load at 5.0 V supply with
less than 10% total harmonic distortion (THD)
90% efficiency at 5.0 V, 1.4 W into 8 Ω speaker
Better than 98 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
Single-supply operation from 2.5 V to 5.5 V
20 nA ultralow shutdown current
Short-circuit and thermal protection
Available in 9-ball, 1.5 mm × 1.5 mm WLCSP
Pop-and-click suppression
Built-in resistors reduce board component count
Default fixed 18 dB or user-adjustable gain setting
The SSM2311 has a micropower shutdown mode with a typical
shutdown current of 20 nA. Shutdown is enabled by applying a
logic low to the SD pin.
The device also includes pop-and-click suppression circuitry. This
minimizes voltage glitches at the output during turn-on and turnoff, thus reducing audible noise on activation and deactivation.
APPLICATIONS
The fully differential input of the SSM2311 provides excellent
rejection of common-mode noise on the input. Input coupling
capacitors can be omitted if the dc input common-mode voltage
is approximately VDD/2.

MP3 players
Portable gaming
Portable electronics
Educational toys
The default gain of SSM2311 is 18 dB, but users can reduce the gain
by using a pair of external resistors (see the Gain section).
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SSM2311 is a fully integrated, high efficiency, Class-D audio
amplifier. It is designed to maximize performance for mobile
phone applications. The application circuit requires a minimum
of external components and operates from a single 2.5 V to 5.5 V
supply. It is capable of delivering 3 W of continuous output power
with less than 1% THD + N driving a 3 Ω load from a 5.0 V supply.
The SSM2311 is specified over the industrial temperature range
(−40°C to +85°C). It has built-in thermal shutdown and output
short-circuit protection. It is available in a 9-ball, 1.5 mm × 1.5 mm
wafer level chip scale package (WLCSP).

APPLICATION NOTES
The SSM2311 mono Class-D audio amplifier features a filterless
modulation scheme that greatly reduces the external components
count, conserving board space and thus reducing the system’s cost.
The SSM2311 does not require an output filter, but instead relies
on the inherent inductance of the speaker coil and the natural
filtering of the speaker and the human ear to fully recover the audio
component of the square-wave output. While many Class-D amplifiers use some variation of pulse-width modulation (PWM), the
SSM2311 uses Σ-Δ modulation to determine the switching
pattern of the output devices. This provides a number of important
benefits. Σ-Δ modulators do not produce a sharp peak with
many harmonics in the AM frequency band, as pulse-width
modulators often do. Σ-Δ modulation provides the benefits of
reducing the amplitude of spectral components at high frequencies;
that is, reducing EMI emission that might otherwise be radiated
by speakers and long cable traces. Due to the inherent spreadspectrum nature of Σ-Δ modulation, the need for oscillator
synchronization is eliminated for designs incorporating
multiple SSM2311 amplifiers.
The SSM2311 also offers protection circuits for overcurrent and
temperature protection.
GAIN
The SSM2311 has a default gain of 18 dB, but can be reduced by
using a pair of external resistors with a value calculated as follows:
External Gain Settings = 300k/(37.5k + Rext)
track length for lowest DCR, and use 1 oz or 2 oz of copper PCB
traces to further reduce IR drops and inductance. A poor layout
increases voltage drops, consequently affecting efficiency. Use
large traces for the power supply inputs and amplifier outputs to
minimize losses due to parasitic trace resistance.
Proper grounding guidelines help to improve audio
performance, minimize crosstalk between channels, and
prevent switching noise from coupling into the audio signal. To
maintain high output swing and high peak output power, the
PCB traces that connect the output pins to the load and supply
pins should be as wide as possible to maintain the minimum
trace resistances. It is also recommended to use a large-area
ground plane for minimum impedances.
In addition, good PCB layouts isolate critical analog paths from
sources of high interference. High frequency circuits (analog
and digital) should be separated from low frequency ones.
Properly designed multilayer printed circuit boards can reduce
EMI emission and increase immunity to the RF field by a factor of
10 or more compared with double-sided boards. A multilayer
board allows a complete layer to be used for the ground plane,
whereas the ground plane side of a double-sided board is often
disrupted with signal crossover. If the system has separate analog
and digital ground and power planes, the analog ground plane
should be underneath the analog power plane, and, similarly, the
digital ground plane should be underneath the digital power
plane. There should be no overlap between analog and digital
ground planes or analog and digital power planes.
POP-AND-CLICK SUPPRESSION
70
Voltage transients at the output of audio amplifiers can occur when
shutdown is activated or deactivated. Voltage transients as low
as 10 mV can be heard as an audio pop in the speaker. Clicks
and pops can also be classified as undesirable audible transients
generated by the amplifier system and therefore as not coming
from the system input signal. Such transients can be generated
when the amplifier system changes its operating mode. For example,
the following can be sources of audible transients: system power-up/
power-down, mute/unmute, input source change, and sample rate
change. The SSM2311 has a pop-and-click suppression architecture
that reduces these output transients, resulting in noiseless activation
and deactivation.

As output power continues to increase, care needs to be taken to
lay out PCB traces and wires properly between the amplifier,
load, and power supply. A good practice is to use short, wide
PCB tracks to decrease voltage drops and minimize inductance.
Ensure that track widths are at least 200 mil for every inch of

OVERVIEW
SSM2311
INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
PROPER POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING
The SSM2311 does not require input coupling capacitors if the
input signal is biased from 1.0 V to VDD − 1.0 V. Input capacitors
are required if the input signal is not biased within this recommended input dc common-mode voltage range, if high-pass
filtering is needed (Figure 43), or if using a single-ended source
(Figure 44). If high-pass filtering is needed at the input, the input
capacitor along with the input resistor of the SSM2311 forms a
high-pass filter whose corner frequency is determined by the
following equation:
To ensure high efficiency, low THD, and high PSRR, proper power
supply decoupling is necessary. Noise transients on the power
supply lines are short-duration voltage spikes. Although the actual
switching frequency can range from 10 kHz to 100 kHz, these
spikes can contain frequency components that extend into the
hundreds of megahertz. The power supply input needs to be
decoupled with a good quality low ESL, low ESR capacitor—usually
of around 4.7 μF. This capacitor bypasses low frequency noises
to the ground plane. For high frequency transients noises, use a
0.1 μF capacitor as close as possible to the VDD pin of the device.
Placing the decoupling capacitor as close as possible to the SSM2311
helps maintain efficiency performance.
fC = 1/(2π × RIN × CIN)
The input capacitor can significantly affect the performance of
the circuit. Not using input capacitors degrades both the output
offset of the amplifier and the PSRR performance.
