The first stage's gain is externally con-figurable, while the second stage's is internally fixed in a fixed-gain, inverting configuration. The closed-loop gain of the first stage is set by selecting the ratio of Rf to Ri while NEW PRODUCT the second stage's gain is fixed at 2x. Consequently, the differential gain for the IC is AVD=20*log [2*(Rf/Ri)] The PAM8408 sets maximum Rf=218kΩ and minimum Ri=27kΩ, thus the maximum closed-gain is 24dB. UP/DOWN Volume Control (DVC) The PAM8408 features a UP/DOWN volume control which consists of the UP and DOWN pins. An internal clock is used where the clock frequency value is determined from the following formula: 13 fCLK = fOSC / 2 The oscillator frequency fOSC value is 250kHz typical with ±20% tolerance. The DVC’s clock frequency is 30Hz (cycle time 33ms) typical. Volume changes are then effected by toggling either the UP or DOWN pins with a logic low. After a period of 1 cycle pulses with either the UP or DOWN pins held low, the volume will change to the next specified step, either UP or DOWN, and 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. If either the UP or DOWN pin remains low after the first volume transition the volume will change again, but this time after 10 cycles. The followed transition occurs at 4 cycles for each volume transition. This is intended to provide the user with a volume control that pauses briefly after initial application, and then slowly increases the rate of volume change as it is continuously applied. This cycle is shown in the timing diagram shown in figure 1. There are 32 discrete gain settings ranging from +24dB as maximum to -80dB as minimum. Upon device power on, the amplifier's gain is set to a default value of 12dB, and the gain will remain when applied a logic low to the SD pin, Volume levels for each step vary and are specified in Gain Setting table on page 7. If both the UP and DOWN pins are held high, no volume change will occur. Trigger points for the UP and DOWN pins are at 70% of VDD minimum for a logic high, and 20% of VDD maximum for a logic low. It is recommended, however, to toggle UP and DOWN between VDD and GND for best performance.

This shutdown feature turns the amplifier off when logic low is placed on the SD pin. By switching the SD pin connected to GND, the PAM8408 supply current draw will be minimized in idle mode. The SD pin cannot be left floating due to the pull-down internal. Power Supply decoupling The PAM8408 is a high performance CMOS audio amplifier that requires adequate power supply decoupling to ensure the output THD and PSRR are as low as possible. Power supply decoupling is affecting low frequency response. 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 1.0µF, placed as close as possible to the device VDD terminal works best. For filtering lower-frequency noise signals, a larger capacitor of 10µF (ceramic) or greater placed near the audio power amplifier is recommended. PAM8408 Document number: DS36992 Rev. 1 - 2 7 of 11 www.diodes.com June 2014 © Diodes Incorporated A PRODUCT LINE OF DIODES INCORPORATED PAM8408 Application Information (cont.) Input Capacitor (Ci) Large input capacitors are both expensive and space hungry for portable designs. Clearly, a certain sized capacitor is needed to couple in low frequencies without severe attenu-ation. But in many cases the speakers used in portable systems, whether internal or external, have little ability NEW PRODUCT to reproduce signals below 100Hz to 150Hz. Thus, using a large input capacitor may not increase actual system perfor-mance. In this case, input capacitor (Ci) and input resistance (Ri) of the amplifier form a high-pass filter with the corner frequency determined equation below, fC= 1 2πRiCi In addition to system cost and size, click and pop perfor-mance is affected by the size of the input coupling capacitor, Ci. A larger input coupling capacitor requires more charge to reach its quiescent DC voltage (nominally 1/2 VDD). This charge comes from the internal circuit via the feedback and is apt to create pops upon device enable. Thus, by minimizing the capacitor size based on necessary low frequency response, turnon pops can be minimized. Under Voltage Lock-Out (UVLO) The PAM8408 incorporates circuitry designed to detect when the supply voltage is low. When the supply voltage drops to 2.4V or below, the PAM8408 outputs are disable, and the device comes out of this state and starts to normal functional when the supply voltage increases. Short Circuit Protection (SCP) The PAM8408 has short circuit protection circuitry on the outputs that prevents damage to the device during output-to-output and output-to-GND short. When a short circuit is detected on the outputs, the outputs are disable immediately. If the short was removed, the device activates again. Over Temperature Protection Thermal protection on the PAM8408 prevents damage to the device when the internal die temperature exceeds 150°C. There is a 15 degree tolerance on this trip point from device to device. Once the die temperature exceeds the thermal set point, the device outputs are disabled. This is not a latched fault. The thermal fault is cleared once the temperature of the die is reduced by 60°C. This large hysteresis will prevent motor boating sound well and the device begins normal operation at this point with no external system interaction. How to Reduce EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) A simple solution is to put an additional capacitor 1000µF at power supply terminal for power line coupling if the traces from amplifier to speakers are short (<20cm). Most applications require a ferrite bead filter which shows at Figure 3. The ferrite filter reduces EMI around 1 MHz and higher. When selecting a ferrite bead, choose one with high impedance at high frequencies, but low impedance at low frequencies.

PCB Layout Guidelines Grounding At this stage it is paramount that we acknowledge the need for separate grounds. Noise currents in the output power stage need to be returned to NEW PRODUCT output noise ground and nowhere else. Were these currents to circulate elsewhere, they may get into the power supply, the signal ground, etc, worse yet, they may form a loop and radiate noise. Any of these instances results in degraded amplifier performance. The logical returns for the output noise currents associated with Class D switching are the respective PGND pins for each channel. The switch state diagram illustrates that PGND is instrumental in nearly every switch state. This is the perfect point to which the output noise ground trace should return. Also note that output noise ground is channel specific. A two channels amplifier has two mutually exclusive channels and consequently must have two mutually exclusive output noise ground traces. The layout of the PAM8408 offers separate PGND connections for each channel and in some cases each side of the bridge. Output noise grounds must tie to system ground at the power in exclusively. Signal currents for the inputs, reference, etc need to be returned to quite ground. This ground only ties to the signal components and the GND pin. GND then ties to system ground. Power Supply Line As same to the ground, VDD and each channel PVDD need to be separated and tied together at the system power supply. Recommend that all the trace could be routed as short and thick as possible. For the power line layout, just imagine water stream, any barricade placed in the trace (shows in figure 4) could result in the bad performance of the amplifier. Figure 4 Components Placement The power supply decoupling capacitors need to be placed as close to VDD pins as possible. The inputs need to be routed away from the noisy trace.
