This device minimizes the number of external components needed, which simplifies the design and frees up board space for other features. When driving 1 W into 8-Ω speakers, the TPA0252 has less than 0.3% THD+N across its specified frequency range. Included within this device is integrated depop circuitry that virtually eliminates transients that cause noise in the speakers. Amplifier gain is controlled by two terminals, UP and DOWN. There are 31 discrete steps covering the range of 20 dB (maximum volume setting) to –40 dB (minimum volume setting) in 2 dB steps. By pressing either button momentarily, the volume steps up or down 2 dB. By continuing to hold the button down, the device starts stepping through volume settings at a rate determined by the capacitor on the CLK terminal. An internal input MUX, controlled by the HP/LINE pin, allows two sets of stereo inputs to the amplifier. In notebook applications, where internal speakers are driven as BTL and the line outputs (often headphone drive) are required to be SE, the TPA0252 automatically switches into SE mode when the SE/BTL input is activated. This effectively reduces the gain by 6 dB. The TPA0252 includes a VAUX terminal that is used to power the volume-setting registers when the device is in SHUTDOWN, and even if the main VDD power supply is removed. As long as the VAUX terminal is held above 3 V, the registers are maintained. If the VAUX terminal is allowed to go below 3 V, then the data in the registers is lost, and the default gain of –10 dB is loaded into the registers. The TPA0252 consumes only 9 mA of supply current during normal operation. A miserly shutdown mode reduces the supply current to less than 150 µA. The PowerPAD package (PWP) delivers a level of thermal performance that was previously achievable only in TO-220-type packages. Thermal impedances of approximately 35°C/W are truly realized in multilayer PCB applications. This allows the TPA0252 to operate at full power into 8-Ω loads at ambient temperatures of 85°C.

The volume is increased in 2-dB steps by pulling the voltage low on terminal UP. The volume is decreased in 2-dB steps by pulling the voltage low on terminal DOWN. If UP and DOWN are held low at the same time, the device is muted, and the volume returns to its previous setting after UP and DOWN are pulled high. Table 1.

The formula for calculating the clock frequency if using a cap to generate the clock is shown below: f CLK + 4.7C 10 –6 (1) CLK Note: This equation is an approximation, fCLK will vary. When the desired line is pulled low for four clock cycles, the volume increments by one step, followed by a short delay. This delay decreases the longer the line is held low, eventually reaching a delay of zero. The delay allows the user to pull the UP or DOWN terminal low once for one volume change, or hold down to ramp several volume changes. The delay is optimally configured for push button volume control. Holding either UP or DOWN low continuously causes the volume to change at an exponentially increasing rate. When fCLK = 100 Hz, the first change in the volume occurs approximately 40 ms after either pin is initially pulled low. If the pin stays low for approximately 400 more ms, the volume changes again. The next change occurs 200 ms after this change. The fourth change occurs 120 ms after the third change. The fifth volume change occurs 80 ms after the fourth change. Thereafter, the volume changes at 1/4 the rate of the clock (every 40 ms). Each cycle is registered on the rising clock edge and the volume is changed after the rising edge. The figure below shows increasing volume using UP, however, the volume is decreased using DOWN with the same timing. UP CLK VOLUME 40 Cycles 20 Cycles 12 Cycles 8 Cycles 4 Cycles per Step 4 Cycles Figure 32. Internal Clock Timing Diagram POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 17 TPA0252 2-W STEREO AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER WITH DIGITAL VOLUME CONTROL SLOS288A – JUNE 2000 – REVISED APRIL 2001 APPLICATION INFORMATION changing volume when using the external clock (microprocessor mode) The user may remove the capacitor and run the external clock directly into the clock pin to override the internal clock generator. The maximum clock frequency is 10 kHz if using an external clock; however, it is recommended that the clock frequency be less than 200 Hz in normal operation so the gain does not change too quickly causing a pop at the output. A 5-V clock must be used because the trip levels are 0.5 V and 4.5 V. The clock needs to have 50% duty cycle. The recommended way to adjust the volume is to use a gated clock and hold UP or DOWN low and cycle the clock pin four times. The volume change is clocked in at the rising edge. CLK is held low when not changing volume. No delay is added when using an external clock, so it is very important to only input four clock cycles per volume change. Any additional clock cycles per volume change is added to the next volume change. For example, if five clock cycles are input while UP is held low the first volume change, the volume change occurs after the third clock cycle the next time UP is held low. The figure below shows how volume increases with UP when an external clock is used. The sample and hold times for UP and DOWN are 100 ns. The same timing applies if using an external clock and decreasing the volume with DOWN. UP CLK VOLUME 4 Cycles per Step Figure 33. External Clock (4 Cycles per Volume Change) VAUX VAUX is used to keep power to the volume control memory. As long as the voltage at the VAUX pin is greater than 3 V, the device remembers what volume setting it was in, even when shut-down or powered down. The amplifier then returns to that volume setting after being powered up. If VAUX is pulled low, the device resets to a volume setting of –10 dB in BTL and –16 dB in SE mode. If VAUX is pulled below ground, the device could be damaged. Even if VAUX is connected to just one voltage, it must be connected through a diode so VAUX is not pulled below ground. The recommended circuit to keep VAUX high when power down is shown below. V DD System V AUX 9 VAUX C VAUX Figure 34.

This circuit allows VAUX to remain high even when VDD and system VAUX are removed. The formula for calculating how long the volume is remembered if VDD and system VAUX is removed or pulled low is shown below. The diode used in the example has a forward voltage, VF of 0.7 V and 25 nA of leakage current, IR. tdecay = CVAUX × ((VDD or system VAUX) – VF – VAUXmin) / (2 × IR + IDD(VAUX)) tdecay = 0.47 µF × (5V – 0.7 V – 3V)/(25 nA × 2 + 0.7 nA) tdecay = 12 seconds input resistance Each gain setting is achieved by varying the input resistance of the amplifier, which can range from its smallest value to over 6 times that value. As a result, if a single capacitor is used in the input high-pass filter, the –3 dB or cutoff frequency also changes by over 6 times. Rf C Input Signal IN RI The input resistance at each gain setting is given in Figure 28. The –3 dB frequency can be calculated using equation 2. f –3 dB + 2p 1R C (2) I 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 3. POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 19 TPA0252 2-W STEREO AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER WITH DIGITAL VOLUME CONTROL SLOS288A – JUNE 2000 – REVISED APRIL 2001 APPLICATION INFORMATION input capacitor, Ci (continued) –3 dB f + 2 p Z1 C c(highpass) (3) i i fc The value of Ci is important to consider as it directly affects the bass (low frequency) performance of the circuit. Consider the example where Zi is 15 kΩ (from Figure 28) and the specification calls for a flat bass response down to 40 Hz. Equation 3 is reconfigured as equation 4. C i + 2 p1Z fc (4) i In this example, Ci is 0.27 µF, so one would likely choose a value in the range of 0.27 µF to 1 µF. 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 faces 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. Note that it is important to confirm the capacitor polarity in the application. power supply decoupling, C(S) The TPA0252 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, C(BYP) The midrail bypass capacitor, C(BYP), is the most critical capacitor and serves several important functions. During start-up or recovery from shutdown mode, C(BYP) 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. Bypass capacitor, C(BYP), values of 0.47 µF to 1 µF ceramic or tantalum low-ESR capacitors are recommended for the best THD and noise performance. 20 POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 TPA0252 2-W STEREO AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER WITH DIGITAL VOLUME CONTROL SLOS288A – JUNE 2000 – REVISED APRIL 2001 APPLICATION INFORMATION output coupling capacitor, C(C) In the typical single-supply SE configuration, an output coupling capacitor (C(C)) is required to block the dc bias at the output of the amplifier, thus preventing dc currents in the load. As with the input coupling capacitor, the output coupling capacitor and impedance of the load form a high-pass filter governed by equation 5. –3 dB f c(high) + 2 p R 1C (5) L (C) fc The main disadvantage, from a performance standpoint, is the load impedances are typically small, which drives the low-frequency corner higher degrading the bass response. Large values of C(C) are required to pass low frequencies into the load. Consider the example where a C(C) of 330 µF is chosen and loads vary from 3 Ω, 4 Ω, 8 Ω, 32 Ω, 10 kΩ, and 47 kΩ. Table 2 summarizes the frequency response characteristics of each configuration. Table 2.

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.

The TPA0252 BTL amplifier consists of two class-AB 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 6).

Bridge-Tied Load Configuration In a typical computer sound channel operating at 5 V, bridging raises the power into an 8-Ω speaker from a singled-ended (SE, ground reference) limit of 250 mW to 1 W. 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 36. 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 7. 1 (7) fc 2 p R L C (C) + 22 POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 TPA0252 2-W STEREO AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER WITH DIGITAL VOLUME CONTROL SLOS288A – JUNE 2000 – REVISED APRIL 2001 APPLICATION INFORMATION bridged-tied load versus single-ended mode (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. VDD –3 dB VO(PP) C(C) RL VO(PP) fc Figure 36. Single-Ended Configuration and Frequency Response 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 the SE configuration. Internal dissipation versus output power is discussed further in the crest factor section. single-ended operation In SE mode (see Figure 36), the load is driven from the primary amplifier output for each channel (OUT+, terminals 21 and 4). The amplifier switches single-ended operation when the SE/BTL terminal is held high. This puts the negative outputs in a high-impedance state, and reduces the amplifier’s gain to 1 V/V.

The primary cause of these 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 as being equal to the ratio of power from the power supply to the power delivered to the load. To accurately calculate the RMS and average values of power in the load and in the amplifier, the current and voltage waveform shapes must first be understood (see Figure 37). IDD VO IDD(avg) V(LRMS) Figure 37. Voltage and Current Waveforms for BTL Amplifiers 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.

Note that 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. Note that 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. For a stereo 1-W audio system with 8-Ω loads and a 5-V supply, the maximum draw on the power supply is almost 3.25 W. Table 3.

A final point to remember about class-AB amplifiers (either SE or BTL) is how to manipulate the terms in the efficiency equation to utmost advantage when possible. Note that in equation 9, VDD is in the denominator. This indicates that as VDD goes down, efficiency goes up. POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 25 TPA0252 2-W STEREO AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER WITH DIGITAL VOLUME CONTROL SLOS288A – JUNE 2000 – REVISED APRIL 2001 APPLICATION INFORMATION crest factor and thermal considerations Class-AB 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 range, or headroom above the average power output, to pass the loudest portions of the signal without distortion. In other words, music typically has a crest factor between 12 dB and 15 dB. When determining the optimal ambient operating temperature the internal dissipated power at the average output power level must be used. From the TPA0252 data sheet, one can see that when the TPA0252 is operating from a 5-V supply into a 3-Ω speaker, 4-W peaks are available. Converting watts to dB: P dB + 10 Log ǒǓ PW P ref ǒ Ǔ + 10Log 4W + 6 dB 1W (10) Subtracting the headroom restriction to obtain the average listening level without distortion yields: 6 dB – 15 dB = –9 dB (15-dB crest factor) 6 dB – 12 dB = –6 dB (12-dB crest factor) 6 dB – 9 dB = –3 dB (9-dB crest factor) 6 dB – 6 dB = 0 dB (6-dB crest factor) 6 dB – 3 dB = 3 dB (3-dB crest factor) Converting dB back into watts: PW + 10PdBń10 Pref + 63 mW (18-dB crest factor) + 125 mW (15-dB crest factor) + 250 mW (9-dB crest factor) + 500 mW (6-dB crest factor) + 1000 mW (3-dB crest factor) + 2000 mW (15-dB crest factor) (11) 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 2 W of continuous power output with a 3-dB crest factor, 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, 3-Ω system, the internal dissipation in the TPA0252 and maximum ambient temperatures are shown in Table 4. Table 4.

As a result, this simple formula for calculating PDmax may be used for an 8-Ω application: 2V 2 P Dmax + p2RDD (12) L However, in the case of a 3-Ω load, the PDmax occurs at a point well above the normal operating power level. The amplifier may therefore be operated at a higher ambient temperature than required by the PDmax formula for a 3-Ω load. The maximum ambient temperature depends on the heat sinking ability of the PCB system. The derating factor for the PWP package is shown in the dissipation rating table on page 4. Converting this to ΘJA: Θ JA 1 + 45°CńW + Derating1 Factor + 0.022 (13) To calculate maximum ambient temperatures, first consider that the numbers from the dissipation graphs are per channel, so the dissipated power needs to be doubled for two-channel operation. Given ΘJA, the maximum allowable junction temperature, and the total internal dissipation, the maximum ambient temperature can be calculated with the following equation. The maximum recommended junction temperature for the TPA0252 is 150°C. The internal dissipation figures are taken from the Power Dissipation vs Output Power graphs. T A Max + TJ Max * ΘJA PD + 150 * 45 (0.6 2) + 96°C (15-dB crest factor) (14) NOTE: Internal dissipation of 0.6 W is estimated for a 2-W system with 15-dB crest factor per channel. Tables 4 and 5 show that for some applications no airflow is required to keep junction temperatures in the specified range. The TPA0252 is designed with thermal protection that turns the device off when the junction temperature surpasses 150°C to prevent damage to the IC. Tables 4 and 5 are calculated for maximum listening volume without distortion. When the output level is reduced, the numbers in the table change significantly. Also, using 8-Ω speakers significantly increases the thermal performance by increasing amplifier efficiency.

The input is activated automatically. When the PC-BEEP input is active, both of the LINEIN and HPIN inputs are deselected and both the left and right channels are driven in BTL mode with the signal from PC-BEEP. The gain from the PC-BEEP input to the speakers is fixed at 0.3 V/V and is independent of the volume setting. When the PC-BEEP input is deselected, the amplifier returns to the previous operating mode and volume setting. Furthermore, if the amplifier is in shutdown mode, activating PC-BEEP takes the device out of shutdown and output the PC-BEEP signal, then return the amplifier to shutdown mode. The amplifier automatically switches to PC-BEEP mode after detecting a valid signal at the PC-BEEP input. The preferred input signal is a square wave or pulse train with an amplitude of 1 Vpp or greater. To be accurately detected, the signal must have a minimum of 1 Vpp amplitude, rise and fall times of less than 0.1 µs and a minimum of 8 rising edges. When the signal is no longer detected, the amplifier returns to its previous operating mode and volume setting. If it is desired to ac-couple the PC-BEEP input, the value of the coupling capacitor is chosen to satisfy the following equation: C PCB w 2p ƒ 1 PCB (100 kW) (15) The PC-BEEP input can also be dc-coupled to avoid using this coupling capacitor. The pin normally sits at midrail when no signal is present. 28 POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 TPA0252 2-W STEREO AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER WITH DIGITAL VOLUME CONTROL SLOS288A – JUNE 2000 – REVISED APRIL 2001 APPLICATION INFORMATION SE/BTL operation The ability of the TPA0252 to easily switch between BTL and SE modes is one of its most important cost saving features. This feature eliminates the requirement for an additional headphone amplifier in applications where internal stereo speakers are driven in BTL mode but external headphone or speakers must be accommodated. Internal to the TPA0252, two separate amplifiers drive OUT+ and OUT–. The SE/BTL input (terminal 22) controls the operation of the follower amplifier that drives LOUT– and ROUT– (terminals 1 and 11). When SE/BTL is held low, the amplifier is on and the TPA0252 is in the BTL mode. When SE/BTL is held high, the OUT– amplifiers are in a high output impedance state, which configures the TPA0252 as an SE driver from LOUT+ and ROUT+ (terminals 23 and 13). IDD is reduced by approximately one-half in SE mode. Control of the SE/BTL input can be from a logic-level CMOS source or, more typically, from a resistor divider network as shown in Figure 38. 17 RHPIN 16 RLINEIN R MUX – + 15 ROUT+ 13 RIN COUTR 330 µF VDD 1 kΩ – + ROUT– 11 SE/BTL 22 100 kΩ 100 kΩ HP/LINE 14 Figure 38. TPA0252 Resistor Divider Network Circuit Using a readily available 1/8-in. (3.5 mm) stereo headphone jack, the control switch is closed when no plug is inserted. When closed, the 100-kΩ/1-kΩ divider pulls the SE/BTL input low. When a plug is inserted, the 1-kΩ resistor is disconnected and the SE/BTL input is pulled high. When the input goes high, the OUT– amplifier is shut down causing the speaker to mute (virtually open-circuits the speaker). The OUT+ amplifier then drives through the output capacitor (COUT) into the headphone jack.

TPA0252 Example Input MUX Circuit The TPA0252 gives the option of using separate headphone inputs (RHPIN, LHPIN) and line inputs (RLINEIN, LLINEIN). The inputs can be different if the input signal is single-ended. If using a differential input signal, the inputs must be the same, because the inputs share a common RIN, LIN. The typical application shows the input mux control signal HP/LINE tied to SE/BTL, but that is not required. The input mux could be used to select between two inputs that are used in both SE and BTL modes. If using the TPA0252 with a single-ended input, the RIN and LIN terminals must be tied through a capacitor to ground. RIN and LIN must not be tied to bypass or an offset occurs on the output causing the device to pop when turning on and off. Input coupling capacitors could be eliminated if using differential inputs but is used to get maximum output power. If the input capacitors are eliminated, the dc offset must match the voltage on BYPASS or the output power is limited. 30 POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 TPA0252 2-W STEREO AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER WITH DIGITAL VOLUME CONTROL SLOS288A – JUNE 2000 – REVISED APRIL 2001 APPLICATION INFORMATION shutdown modes The TPA0252 employs a shutdown mode of operation designed to reduce supply current, IDD, to the absolute minimum level during periods of nonuse for battery-power conservation. The SHUTDOWN input terminal is held high 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, IDD = 150 µA. SHUTDOWN must never be left unconnected because amplifier operation would be unpredictable. Table 6.
