Rev. 02 — 24 October 2008
Product data sheet
1. General description
The SA58671 is a stereo, filter-free class-D audio amplifier which is available in a
16 bump WLCSP (Wafer Level Chip-Size Package).
The SA58671 features independent shutdown controls for each channel. The gain can be
set at 6 dB, 12 dB, 18 dB or 24 dB using G0 and G1 gain select pins. Improved immunity
to noise and RF rectification is increased by high PSRR and differential circuit topology.
Fast start-up time and very small WLCSP package makes it an ideal choice for both
cellular handsets and PDAs.
The SA58671 delivers 1.3 W/channel at 5 V and 720 mW/channel at 3.6 V into 8 Ω. It
delivers 1.2 W/channel at 5 V into 4 Ω. The maximum power efficiency is excellent at
70 % to 74 % into 4 Ω and 84 % to 88 % into 8 Ω. The SA58671 provides thermal and
short-circuit shutdown protection.

11.1 Power supply decoupling considerations
The SA58671 is a stereo class-D audio amplifier that requires proper power supply
decoupling to ensure the rated performance for THD+N and power efficiency. To decouple
high frequency transients, power supply spikes and digital noise on the power bus line, a
low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) capacitor of typically 1 µF is placed as close as
possible to the PVDD pins of the device. It is important to place the decoupling capacitor
at the power pins of the device because any resistance or inductance in the PCB trace
between the device and the capacitor can cause a loss in efficiency. Additional decoupling
using a larger capacitor, 4.7 µF or greater, may be done on the power supply connection
on the PCB to filter low frequency signals. Usually this is not required due to high PSRR of
the device.
11.2 Input capacitor selection
The SA58671 does not require input coupling capacitors when used with a differential
audio source that is biased from 0.5 V to VDD − 0.8 V. In other words, the input signal must
be biased within the common-mode input voltage range. If high pass filtering is required or
if it is driven using a single-ended source, input coupling capacitors are required.
The 3 dB cut-off frequency created by the input coupling capacitor and the input resistors
(see Table 6) is calculated by Equation 1:
1
f –3dB = -----------------------------2π × R i × C i

Since the value of the input decoupling capacitor and the input resistance determined by
the gain setting affects the low frequency performance of the audio amplifier, it is
important to consider this during the system design. Small speakers in wireless and
cellular phones usually do not respond well to low frequency signals, so the 3 dB cut-off
frequency may be increased to block the low frequency signals to the speakers. Not using
input coupling capacitors may increase the output offset voltage.
Equation 1 is solved for Ci:
1
C i = -------------------------------------2π × R i × f –3dB

11.3 PCB layout considerations
Component location is very important for performance of the SA58671. Place all external
components very close to the device. Placing decoupling capacitors directly at the power
supply pins increases efficiency because the resistance and inductance in the trace
between the device power supply pins and the decoupling capacitor causes a loss in
power efficiency.
The trace width and routing are also very important for power output and noise
considerations.
For high current terminals (PVDD, PGND and audio output), the trace widths should be
maximized to ensure proper performance and output power. Use at least 500 µm wide
traces.
For the input pins (INRP, INRN, INLP and INLN), the traces must be symmetrical and run
side-by-side to maximize common-mode cancellation.
11.4 Filter-free operation and ferrite bead filters
A ferrite bead low-pass filter can be used to reduce radio frequency emissions in
applications that have circuits sensitive to frequencies greater than 1 MHz. A ferrite bead
low-pass filter functions well for amplifiers that must pass FCC unintentional radiation
requirements for frequencies greater than 30 MHz. Choose a bead with high-impedance
at high frequencies and very low-impedance at low frequencies. In order to prevent
distortion of the output signal, select a ferrite bead with adequate current rating.
For applications in which there are circuits that are EMI sensitive to low frequency
(< 1 MHz) and there are long leads from amplifier to speaker, it is necessary to use an LC
output filter.

11.5 Efficiency and thermal considerations
The maximum ambient temperature depends on the heat transferring ability of the heat
spreader on the PCB layout. In Table 3 “Limiting values”, power dissipation, the power
derating factor is given as 9.12 mW/K. The device thermal resistance, Rth(j-a) is the
reciprocal of the power derating factor. Convert the power derating factor to Rth(j-a) by
Equation 3:
1
1
R th ( j-a ) = ------------------------------------------ = ------------------- = 110 K /W
derating factor
0.00912
(3)
For a maximum allowable junction temperature, Tj = 150 °C and Rth(j-a) = 110 K/W and a
maximum device dissipation of 0.6 W (300 mW per channel) and for 1.2 W per channel
output power, 4 Ω load, 5 V supply, the maximum ambient temperature is calculated using
Equation 4:
T amb ( max ) = T j ( max ) – ( R th ( j-a ) × P max ) = 150 – ( 110 × 0.60 ) = 84 °C
(4)
The maximum ambient temperature is 84 °C at maximum power dissipation for 5 V supply
and 4 Ω load. If the junction temperature of the SA58671 rises above 150 °C, the thermal
protection circuitry turns the device off; this prevents damage to IC. Using speakers
greater than 4 Ω further enhances thermal performance and battery lifetime by reducing
the output load current and increasing amplifier efficiency.
11.6 Additional thermal information
The SA58671 16 bump WLCSP package ground bumps are soldered directly to the PCB
heat spreader. By the use of thermal vias, the bumps may be soldered directly to a ground
plane or special heat sinking layer designed into the PCB. The thickness and area of the
heat spreader may be maximized to optimize heat transfer and achieve lowest package
thermal resistance.

14. Soldering of WLCSP packages
14.1 Introduction to soldering WLCSP packages
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account
of soldering WLCSP (Wafer Level Chip-Size Packages) can be found in application note
AN10439 “Wafer Level Chip Scale Package” and in application note AN10365 “Surface
mount reflow soldering description”.
Wave soldering is not suitable for this package.
All NXP WLCSP packages are lead-free.
14.2 Board mounting
Board mounting of a WLCSP requires several steps:
1. Solder paste printing on the PCB
2. Component placement with a pick and place machine
3. The reflow soldering itself
14.3 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
• Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 18) than a PbSn process, thus
reducing the process window
• Solder paste printing issues, such as smearing, release, and adjusting the process
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
• Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is
heated to the peak temperature), and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak
temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste
characteristic) while being low enough that the packages and/or boards are not
damaged. The peak temperature of the package depends on package thickness and
volume and is classified in accordance with Table 7
Table 7.

Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all
times.
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow
soldering, see Figure 18.

14.3.1 Stand off
The stand off between the substrate and the chip is determined by:
• The amount of printed solder on the substrate
• The size of the solder land on the substrate
• The bump height on the chip
The higher the stand off, the better the stresses are released due to TEC (Thermal
Expansion Coefficient) differences between substrate and chip.
14.3.2 Quality of solder joint
A flip-chip joint is considered to be a good joint when the entire solder land has been
wetted by the solder from the bump. The surface of the joint should be smooth and the
shape symmetrical. The soldered joints on a chip should be uniform. Voids in the bumps
after reflow can occur during the reflow process in bumps with high ratio of bump diameter
to bump height, i.e. low bumps with large diameter. No failures have been found to be
related to these voids. Solder joint inspection after reflow can be done with X-ray to
monitor defects such as bridging, open circuits and voids.
14.3.3 Rework
In general, rework is not recommended. By rework we mean the process of removing the
chip from the substrate and replacing it with a new chip. If a chip is removed from the
substrate, most solder balls of the chip will be damaged. In that case it is recommended
not to re-use the chip again.

Device removal can be done when the substrate is heated until it is certain that all solder
joints are molten. The chip can then be carefully removed from the substrate without
damaging the tracks and solder lands on the substrate. Removing the device must be
done using plastic tweezers, because metal tweezers can damage the silicon. The
surface of the substrate should be carefully cleaned and all solder and flux residues
and/or underfill removed. When a new chip is placed on the substrate, use the flux
process instead of solder on the solder lands. Apply flux on the bumps at the chip side as
well as on the solder pads on the substrate. Place and align the new chip while viewing
with a microscope. To reflow the solder, use the solder profile shown in application note
AN10365 “Surface mount reflow soldering description”.
14.3.4 Cleaning
Cleaning can be done after reflow soldering.
