2.5-W Stereo Audio Power Amplifier
with Advanced DC Volume Control
DESCRIPTOIN
FEATURES
The EUA6021A is a stereo audio power amplifier that drives
2.5 W/channel of continuous RMS power into a 4-Ω load.
Advanced dc volume control minimizes external components
and allows BTL (speaker) volume control and SE (headphone)
volume control.
The 20-pin DIP package allows for the use of a heatsink
which provides higher output power.
To ensure a smooth transition between active and shutdown
modes, a fade mode ramps the volume up and down.

Application Information
Table 1 . SE/ BTL , and Shutdown Function
VOLUME Operation
The VOLUME pin controls the BTL volume when driving
speakers, and the SE volume when driving headphones.
This pin is controlled with a dc voltage, which should not
exceed VDD.
The output volume increases in discrete steps as the dc
voltage increases and decreases in discrete steps as the dc
voltage decreases. There are a total of 32 discrete gain steps
of the amplifier and range from -85 dB to 20 dB for BTL
operation and -85 dB to 14 dB for SE operation.
A pictorial representation of the typical volume control can
be found in Figure 26.

FADE Operation
For design flexibility, a fade mode is provided to slowly
ramp up the amplifier gain when coming out of shutdown
mode and conversely ramp the gain down when going into
shutdown. This mode provides a smooth transition
between the active and shutdown states and virtually
eliminates any pops or clicks on the outputs.
When the FADE input is a logic low, the device is placed
into fade-on mode. A logic high on this pin places the
amplifier in the fade-off mode. The voltage trip levels for
a logic low (VIL) or logic high (VIH) can be found in the
recommended operating conditions table.
When a logic low is applied to the FADE pin and a logic
low is then applied on the SHUTDOWN pin, the channel
gain steps down from gain step to gain step at a rate of
two clock cycles per step. With a nominal internal clock
frequency of 58HZ,this equates to 34 ms (1/24 Hz) per
step. The gain steps down until the lowest gain step is
reached .The time it takes to reach this step depends on the
gain setting prior to placing the device in shutdown. For
example, if the amplifier is in the highest gain mode of
20dB, the time it takes to ramp down the channel gain is
1.05 seconds. This number is calculated by taking the
number of steps to reach the lowest gain from the highest
gain, or 31 steps , and multiplying by the time per step, or
34 ms.
After the channel gain is stepped down to the lowest gain,
the amplifier begins discharging the bypass capacitor from
the nominal voltage of VDD/2 to ground.
This time is dependent on the value of the bypass
capacitor. For a 0.47-µF capacitor that is used in the
application diagram in Figure 1, the time is approximately
500ms. This time scales linearly with the value of bypass
capacitor. For example, if a 1-µF capacitor is used for
bypass, the time period to discharge the capacitor to
ground is twice that of the 0.47-µF capacitor, or 1 second.
Figure 26. Typical DC Volume Control Operation
Shutdown Modes
The EUA6021A 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 should be 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=20µA. SHUTDOWN should never
be left unconnected because amplifier operation would be
unpredictable.

Amplifier State
12
EUA6021A
When a logic high is placed on the SHUTDOWN pin
and the FADE pin is still held low, the device begins the
start-up process, the bypass capacitor will begin charging.
Once the bypass voltage reaches the final value of
VDD/2 ,the gain increases in2-dB steps from the lowest
gain level to the gain level set by the dc voltage applied to
the VOLUME pins.
In the fade-off mode, the output of the amplifier
immediately drops to VDD/2 and the bypass capacitor
begins a smooth discharge to ground When shutdown is
released, the bypass capacitor charges up to VDD/2 and the
channel gain returns immediately to the value on the
VOLUME terminal.
The power-up sequence is different from the shutdown
sequence and the voltage on the FADE pin does not
change the power-up sequence. Upon a power-up
condition, the EUA6021A begins in the lowest gain
setting and steps up 2 dB every 2 clock cycles until the
final value is reached as determined by the dc voltage
applied to the VOLUME pins.
In a typical computer sound channel operating at 5V,
bridging raises the power into an 8-Ω speaker from a
singled-ended (SE, ground reference) limit of 250 mW to
1W. 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 28.
A coupling capacitor is required to block the dc offset
voltage from reaching the load. These capacitors can be
quite large (approximately 33µF to 1000µF) 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 2.
Bridged-Tied Load Versus Single-Ended Mode
Figure 27 show a Class-AB audio power amplifier (APA)
in a BTL configuration. The EUA6021A 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 1)
For example, a 68µF 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.

Figure 28. 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 and thermal
considerations section.
Single-Ended Operation
In SE mode the load is driven from the primary amplifier
output for each channel. 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 1V/V.

EUA6021A
SE/BTL Operation
The ability of the EUA6021A 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 EUA6021A , two separate amplifiers drive
OUT+ and OUT- .The SE/BTL input control the
operation of the follower amplifier that drives LOUT- and
ROUT-.When SE/BTL is held low, the amplifier is on and
the EUA6021A is in the BTL mode. When SE/BTL is
held high, the OUT- amplifiers are in a high output
impedance state, which configures the EUA6021A as an
SE driver from LOUT+ and ROUT+. 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 29.
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 results, if a
single capacitor is used in the input high-pass filter, the –3
dB or cut-off frequency will also change by over 6 times.
Figure 30. Input Resistor
The-3dB frequency can be calculated using equation
3:
1
---------------------- (3)
f-3dB =
2 π C (R || R i )
If the filter must be more accurate, the value of the
capacitor should be increased while the value of the resistor
to ground should be decreased. In addition, the order of the
filter could be increased.
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, from a high-pass filter with
the corner frequency determined in equation 4.
Figure 29. Resistor divider Network circuit 2
Using a readily available 1/8-in. (3.5mm) 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 (CO) into the headphone jack.

2 π Zi Ci
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 70kΩ and the
specification calls for a flat bass response down to 40Hz.

EUA6021A
In this example, Ci is 56nF so one would likely choose a
value in the range of 56nF to 1µF. 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 VDD/2,
which is likely higher than the source dc level. Note that it
is important to confirm the capacitor polarity in the
application.
Output Coupling Capacitor, (CC)
For general signal-supply SE configuration, the output
coupling capacitor (CC) 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 6.

Decoupling Capacitor, (CS)
The EUA6021A 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 0.1µF placed as close as
possible to the device VDD lead, works best. For filtering
lower-frequency noise signals, a larger aluminum
electrolytic capacitor of 10µF or greater placed near the
audio power amplifier is recommended.
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 CC are required to pass low frequencies
into the load. Consider the example where a
CC of 330µF is chosen and loads vary from 3Ω, 4Ω, 8Ω,
32Ω, 10kΩ, to 47kΩ. Table 2 summarizes the frequency
response characteristics of each configuration.
Bypass Capacitor, (CB)
The bypass capacitor, CB, is the most critical capacitor and
serves several important functions. During start-up or
recovery from shutdown mode, CB 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,
CB, values of 0.47µF to 1µF ceramic or tantalum low-ESR
capacitors are recommended for the best THD and noise
performance.

As Table 2 indicates, most of the bass response is
attenuated into a 4-Ω load and 8-Ω load is adequate,
headphone response is good, and drive into line level
inputs (a home stereo for example) is exceptional.
Using Low- ESR Capacitors
Low- ESR capacitors are recommended throughout this
applications 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.
