Amplifier gain is externally configured by means of two resistors per input channel and does not require external compensation for settings of 1 to 10. THD+N when driving a 16-Ω load from 5 V is 0.03% at 1 kHz, and less than 1% across the audio band of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. For 32-Ω loads, the THD+N is reduced to less than 0.02% at 1 kHz, and is less than 1% across the audio band of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. For 10-kΩ loads, the THD+N performance is 0.005% at 1 kHz, and less than 0.5% across the audio band of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

Gain Rf Ri (1) Given that the TPA6110A2 is a MOS amplifier, the input impedance is very high. Consequently input leakage currents are not generally a concern. However, noise in the circuit increases as the value of Rf increases. In addition, a certain range of Rf values is required for proper start-up operation of the amplifier. Considering these factors, it is recommended that the effective impedance seen by the inverting node of the amplifier be set between 5 kΩ and 20 kΩ. The effective impedance is calculated using Equation 2. Effective Impedance R fR i Rf Ri (2) For example, if the input resistance is 20 kΩ and the feedback resistor is 20 kΩ, the gain of the amplifier is -1, and the effective impedance at the inverting terminal is 10 kΩ, a value within the recommended range. For high performance applications, metal-film resistors are recommended because they tend to have lower noise levels than carbon resistors. For values of Rf above 50 kΩ, the amplifier tends to become unstable due to a pole formed from Rf and the inherent input capacitance of the MOS input structure. For this reason, a small compensation capacitor of approximately 5 pF should be placed in parallel with Rf. This, in effect, creates a low-pass filter network with the cutoff frequency defined by Equation 3. f c(lowpass) 1 2 R f CF (3) For example, if Rf is 100 kΩ and CF is 5 pF then fc(lowpass) is 318 kHz, which is well outside the audio range. 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 Ri form a high-pass filter with the corner frequency determined in Equation 4. 14 1 2 R i Ci (4) The value of Ci directly affects the bass (low frequency) performance of the circuit. Consider the example where Ri is 20 kΩ and the specification calls for a flat bass response down to 20 Hz. Equation 4 is reconfigured as Equation 5. Ci 1 2 R i f c(highpass) (5) In this example, Ci is 0.40 µF, so one would likely choose a value in the range of 0.47 µF to 1 µF. A further consideration for this capacitor is the leakage path from the input source through the input network formed by Ri, Ci, and the feedback resistor (Rf) 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 (gain >10). For this reason a low-leakage tantalum or ceramic capacitor is the best choice. When polarized capacitors are used, connect the positive side of the capacitor to the amplifier input in most applications. The dc level there is held at VDD/2—likely higher than the source dc level. It is important to confirm the capacitor polarity in the application. POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING, C(S) The TPA6110A2 is a high-performance CMOS audio amplifier that requires adequate power-supply decoupling to minimize the output total harmonic distortion (THD). Power-supply decoupling also prevents oscillations when long lead lengths are used 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 power amplifier is recommended. TPA6110A2 www.ti.com SLOS314A – DECEMBER 2000 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2004 MIDRAIL BYPASS CAPACITOR, C(B) The midrail bypass capacitor, C(B), serves several important functions. During start up, C(B) determines the rate at which the amplifier starts up. This helps to push the start-up pop noise into the subaudible range (so low it can not be heard). 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. The capacitor is fed from a 230-kΩ source inside the amplifier. To keep the start-up pop as low as possible, maintain the relationship shown in Equation 6. 1 C(B) 230 kΩ 1 C i R i (6) Consider an example circuit where C(B) is 1 µF, Ci is 1 µF, and Ri is 20 kΩ. Subsitituting these values into the equation 9 results in: 6.25 ≤ 50 which satisfies the rule. Bypass capacitor, C(B), values of 0.1 µF to 1 µF ceramic or tantalum low-ESR capacitors are recommended for the best THD and noise performance. OUTPUT COUPLING CAPACITOR, C(C) In a typical single-supply, single-ended (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 7. fc 1 2 R L C(C) (7) The main disadvantage, from a performance standpoint, is that the typically-small load impedance drives the low-frequency corner higher. Large values of C(C) are required to pass low frequencies into the load. Consider the example where a C(C) of 68 µF is chosen and loads vary from 32 Ω to 47 kΩ. Table 1 summarizes the frequency response characteristics of each configuration. Table 1. Common Load Impedances vs LowFrequency Output Characteristics in SE Mode RL C(C) LOWEST FREQUENCY 32 Ω 68 µF 73 Hz 10,000 Ω 68 µF 0.23 Hz 47,000 Ω 68 µF 0.05 Hz As Table 1 indicates, headphone response is adequate, and drive into line level inputs (a home stereo for example) is very good. The output coupling capacitor required in single-supply SE mode also places additional constraints on the selection of other components in the amplifier circuit. With the rules described earlier still valid, add the following relationship: 1 C(B) 230 kΩ 1 C i R i 1 RLC (C) (8) USING LOW-ESR CAPACITORS Low-ESR capacitors are recommended throughout this application. A real 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. 5-V VERSUS 3.3-V OPERATION The TPA6110A2 was designed for operation over a supply range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V. This data sheet provides full specifications for 5-V and 3.3-V operation, since these are considered to be the two most common supply voltages. There are no special considerations for 3.3-V versus 5-V operation as far as supply bypassing, gain setting, or stability. The most important consideration is that of output power. Each amplifier in theTPA6110A2 can produce a maximum voltage swing of VDD– 1 V. This means, for 3.3-V operation, clipping starts to occur when VO(PP) = 2.3 V as opposed when VO(PP) = 4 V while operating at 5 V. The reduced voltage swing subsequently reduces maximum output power into the load before distortion becomes significant. 15 IMPORTANT NOTICE Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, modifications, enhancements, improvements, and other changes to its products and services at any time and to discontinue any product or service without notice.
