Operating with a 3.3-V supply, the TPA301 can deliver 250-mW of continuous power into a BTL 8-Ω load at less than 1% THD+N throughout voice band frequencies. Although this device is characterized out to 20 kHz, its operation was optimized for narrower band applications such as cellular communications. The BTL configuration eliminates the need for external coupling capacitors on the output in most applications, which is particularly important for small battery-powered equipment. This device features a shutdown mode for power-sensitive applications with a quiescent current of 0.15 µA during shutdown. The TPA301 is available in an 8-pin SOIC surface-mount package and the surface-mount PowerPAD MSOP, which reduces board space by 50% and height by 40%.

power amplifier (APA) in a BTL configuration. The TPA301 BTL amplifier consists of two linear amplifiers driving both ends of the load. There are several potential benefits to this differential drive configuration but power to the load should be initially considered. 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).

Bridge-Tied Load Configuration In a typical portable handheld equipment sound channel operating at 3.3 V, bridging raises the power into an 8-Ω speaker from a single-ended (SE, ground reference) limit of 62.5 mW to 250 mW. 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 24. 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 2. 12 POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 TPA301 350-mW MONO AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER SLOS208C – JANUARY1998 – REVISED MARCH 2000 APPLICATION INFORMATION bridge-tied load versus single-ended mode (continued) f (corner) + 2 p R1 C (2) L C 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, eliminating 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) CC RL VO(PP) fc Figure 24. 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 a SE configuration. Internal dissipation versus output power is discussed further in the thermal considerations section. BTL amplifier efficiency Linear amplifiers are notoriously inefficient. 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 values of power in the load and in the amplifier, the current and voltage waveform shapes must first be understood (see Figure 25). IDD VO IDD(RMS) V(LRMS) Figure 25.

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. + P PL Efficiency (3) SUP Where: P L V Lrms + V rms 2 L R L 2 + 2R Vp L + VǸ2P + VDD IDDrms + VDDp R2VP L 2V P I DDrms + pR P SUP L Efficiency of a BTL Configuration p VP + 2V DD + p ǒ Ǔ P LR L 2 ń 1 2 (4) 2V DD Table 1 employs equation 4 to calculate efficiencies for three different output power levels. 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. 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. Table 1.

A final point to remember about linear amplifiers (either SE or BTL) is how to manipulate the terms in the efficiency equation to utmost advantage when possible. Note that in equation 4, VDD is in the denominator. This indicates that as VDD goes down, efficiency goes up. 14 POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 TPA301 350-mW MONO AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER SLOS208C – JANUARY1998 – REVISED MARCH 2000 APPLICATION INFORMATION application schematic Figure 26 is a schematic diagram of a typical handheld audio application circuit, configured for a gain of –10 V/V.

TPA301 Application Circuit The following sections discuss the selection of the components used in Figure 26. component selection gain setting resistors, RF and RI ǒǓ The gain for each audio input of the TPA301 is set by resistors RF and RI according to equation 5 for BTL mode. BTL Gain + AV + * 2 R F R I (5) BTL mode operation brings about the factor 2 in the gain equation due to the inverting amplifier mirroring the voltage swing across the load. Given that the TPA301 is a MOS amplifier, the input impedance is very high, consequently input leakage currents are not generally a concern although noise in the circuit increases as the value of RF increases. In addition, a certain range of RF values are required for proper start-up operation of the amplifier. Taken together 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 in equation 6.

The BTL gain of the amplifier would be –10 V/V, and the effective impedance at the inverting terminal would be 8.3 kΩ, which is well 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, CF, of approximately 5 pF should be placed in parallel with RF when RF is greater than 50 kΩ. This, in effect, creates a low-pass filter network with the cutoff frequency defined in equation 7. –3 dB f co(lowpass) + 2 p R1 C (7) F F fco For example, if RF is 100 kΩ and CF is 5 pF then fco is 318 kHz, which is well outside of 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 8. –3 dB f co(highpass) + 2 p R1 C (8) I I fco The value of CI is important to consider as it directly affects the bass (low frequency) performance of the circuit. Consider the example where RI is 10 kΩ and the specification calls for a flat bass response down to 40 Hz. Equation 8 is reconfigured as equation 9.

A further consideration for this capacitor is the leakage path from the input source through the input network (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. 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. It is important to confirm the capacitor polarity in the application. power supply decoupling, CS The TPA301 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, CB The midrail 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. The capacitor is fed from a 250-kΩ source inside the amplifier. To keep the start-up pop as low as possible, the relationship shown in equation 10 should be maintained, which insures the input capacitor is fully charged before the bypass capacitor is fully charged and the amplifier starts up. ǒ C 10 B 250 kΩ Ǔvǒ R 1 Ǔ ) RI F C (10) I As an example, consider a circuit where CB is 2.2 µF, CI is 0.47 µF, RF is 50 kΩ and RI is 10 kΩ. Inserting these values into the equation 10 we get: 18.2 v 35.5 which satisfies the rule. Bypass capacitor, CB, values of 2.2 µF to 1 µF ceramic or tantalum low-ESR capacitors are recommended for the best THD and noise performance. using low-ESR capacitors Low-ESR capacitors are recommended throughout this application. 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.

This data sheet provides full specifications for 5-V and 3.3-V operation, as these are considered to be the two most common standard voltages. There are no special considerations for 3.3-V versus 5-V operation with respect to supply bypassing, gain setting, or stability. The most important consideration is that of output power. Each amplifier in TPA301 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 to VO(PP) = 4 V at 5 V. The reduced voltage swing subsequently reduces maximum output power into an 8-Ω load before distortion becomes significant. Operation from 3.3-V supplies, as can be shown from the efficiency formula in equation 4, consumes approximately two-thirds the supply power for a given output-power level than operation from 5-V supplies. headroom and thermal considerations Linear 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 headroom to pass the loudest portions without distortion as compared with the average power output. From the TPA301 data sheet, one can see that when the TPA301 is operating from a 5-V supply into a 8-Ω speaker 350 mW peaks are available.

Comparing the absolute worst case, which is 350 mW of continuous power output with 0 dB of headroom, 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, 8-Ω system, the internal dissipation in the TPA301 and maximum ambient temperatures is shown in Table 2. Table 2.
