Note 4: These supply voltages are calculated using the IVPPSENSE values shown in the Electrical Characteristics
table. The typical voltage values shown are calculated using a RVPPSENSE value of 187kohm without any
tolerance variation. The minimum and maximum voltage limits shown include either a +1% or –1% (+1% for
Over-voltage turn on and Under-voltage turn off, -1% for Over-voltage turn off and Under-voltage turn on)
variation of RVPPSENSE off the nominal value. These voltage specifications are examples to show both
typical and worst case voltage ranges for a given RVPPSENSE resistor values of 187kohm. Please refer to
the Application Information section for a more detailed description of how to calculate the over and under
voltage trip voltages for a given resistor value.
Note 5: The fact that the over-voltage turn on specifications exceed the absolute maximum of 26V for the TK2019
does not imply that the part will work at these elevated supply voltages. It also does not imply that the
TK2019 is tested or guaranteed at these supply voltages. The supply voltages are simply a calculation based
on the process spread of the IVPPSENSE currents (see note 7). The supply voltage must be maintained
below the absolute maximum of 26V or permanent damage to the TK2019 may occur.

Description
Inverting input resistance to provide AC gain in conjunction with RF. This input is
biased at the BIASCAP voltage (approximately 2.5VDC).
Feedback resistor to set AC gain in conjunction with RI. Please refer to the Amplifier
Gain paragraph, in the Application Information section.
AC input coupling capacitor, which, in conjunction with RI, forms a high pass filter at
fC = 1 (2πRICI ) .
Feedback divider resistor connected to AGND. The value of this resistor depends
on the supply voltage setting and helps set the TK2019 gain in conjunction with RI,
RF, RFBA, and RFBC. Please see the Modulator Feedback Design paragraphs in the
Application Information Section.
Feedback resistor connected from either the OUT1A/OUT2A to
FBKOUT1/FBKOUT2 or OUT1B/OUT2B to FBKGND1/FBKGND2. The value of this
resistor depends on the supply voltage setting and helps set the TK2019 gain in
conjunction with RI, RF, RFBA, and RFBB. It should be noted that the resistor from
OUT1/OUT2 to FBKOUT1/FBKOUT2 must have a power rating of greater than
PDISS = VPP2 (2RFBC) . Please see the Modulator Feedback Design paragraphs in the
Application Information Section.
Feedback delay capacitor that both lowers the idle switching frequency and filters
high frequency noise from the feedback signal, which improves amplifier
performance. The value of CFB should be offset between channel 1 and channel 2
so that the idle switching difference is greater than 40kHz. Please refer to the
Application / Test Circuit.
Potentiometer used to manually trim the DC offset on the output of the TK2019.
Resistor that limits the manual DC offset trim range and allows for more precise
adjustment.
Bias resistor. Locate close to pin 15 and ground at pin 20.
Supply decoupling for the power supply pins. For optimum performance, these
components should be located close to the TC2001/TPS1035 and returned to their
respective ground as shown in the Application/Test Circuit.
Zobel capacitor, which in conjunction with RZ, terminates the output filter at high
frequencies. Use a high quality film capacitor capable of sustaining the ripple current
caused by the switching outputs.
Zobel resistor, which in conjunction with CZ, terminates the output filter at high
frequencies. The combination of RZ and CZ minimizes peaking of the output filter
under both no load conditions or with real world loads, including loudspeakers which
usually exhibit a rising impedance with increasing frequency. The recommended
power rating is 1 Watt.
Output inductor, which in conjunction with CO, demodulates (filters) the switching
waveform into an audio signal. Forms a second order filter with a cutoff frequency
of f C = 1 ( 2 π L O C O ) and a quality factor of Q = R L C O L O C O .
Output capacitor, which, in conjunction with LO, demodulates (filters) the switching
waveform into an audio signal. Forms a second order low-pass filter with a cutoff
frequency of f C = 1 ( 2 π L O C O ) and a quality factor of Q = R L C O L O C O . Use
a high quality film capacitor capable of sustaining the ripple current caused by the
switching outputs. Electrolytic capacitors should not be used.
High-frequency bypass capacitor for VDD – GND on each supply pin. A 35V rating is
required for this component.
Boot strap capacitor that enables the charge pump for the high side gate drive for
the internal H-bridge.
Bootstrap diode. This diode charges up the bootstrap capacitor when the output is
at ground to drive the high side gate circuitry. A fast or ultra fast recovery diode is
recommended for the bootstrap circuitry. In addition, the bootstrap diode must be
able to sustain the entire VDD voltage. Thus a 50V (or greater) diode should be
used.
Differential mode capacitor that reduces residual switching noise.

Bypass capacitor for the internal regulator that powers the gate drive circuitry.
MOSFET protection diode. This diode absorbs any high frequency overshoots or
undershoots caused by the output inductor LO during high output current conditions.
In order for this diode to be effective it must be connected directly to the drain of the
topside MOSFET (pin 2) and the output (pin 3) and source of bottom side MOSFET
(pin 4) and the output (pin 3). An ultra fast recovery diode that can sustain the entire
VCC voltage should be used here. Thus a 50V or greater diode must be used.
Overvoltage and undervoltage sense resistor for the positive supply (VDD). Please
refer to the Electrical Characteristics Section for the trip points as well as the
hysteresis band. Also, please refer to the Over / Under-voltage Protection section in
the Application Information for a detailed discussion of the internal circuit operation
and external component selection.
Secondary overvoltage and undervoltage sense resistor for the positive supply
(VDD). This resistor accounts for the internal VPPSENSE bias of 2.5V. Nominal
resistor value should be equal to that of RVPP1. Please refer to the Over / Undervoltage Protection section in the Application Information for a detailed discussion of
the internal circuit operation and external component selection.
Not used on TK2019. Connect this pin to AGND through a 10kΩ resistor.
BIASCAP decoupling capacitor. Should be located close to pin 1 of the TC2001 and
grounded at pin 20 of the TC2001.
Base resistor to limit the current output from the HMUTE pin.
Diode to keep the Bypass pin (pin 7) of the TPS1035 charged to 5V while HMUTE is
high. This diode should be a Schottky diode.
PNP transistor to keep the Bypass pin (pin 7) of the TPS1035 charged to 5V
whenever the HMUTE is high.
PNP transistor to keep HMUTE high and mute the amplifier if the 5V supply is
turned off before the 24V supply. If the amplifier is not muted and the 5V supply is
turned off before the 24V supply, the amplifier will have an audible pop.
Base resistor for limiting the current entering the base for Q2.
Pull down resistor to pull the collector of Q2 to ground if both the 5V supply and the
24V supply is on and Q2 is off.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
TK2019 Basic Amplifier Operation
The TC2001 is a 5V CMOS signal processor that amplifies the audio input signal and converts the
audio signal to a switching pattern. This switching pattern is spread spectrum with a typical idle
switching frequency of about 700kHz. The switching patterns for the two channels are not
synchronized and the idle switching frequencies should differ by at least 40kHz to avoid increasing
the audio band noise floor. The idle frequency difference can be accomplished by offsetting the value
of CFB for each channel. Typical values of CFB are 390pF for channel 1 and 560pF for channel 2.
The TPS1035 is a MOSFET output stage that level-shifts the signal processor’s 5V switching patterns
to the power supply voltages and drives the power MOSFETs. The power MOSFETs are N-channel
devices configured in half-bridges and are used to supply power to the output load. The outputs of
the power MOSFETs must be low pass filtered to remove the high frequency switching pattern. A
residual voltage from the switching pattern will remain on the speaker outputs when the
recommended output LC filter is used, but this signal is outside of the audio band and will not affect
audio performance.
Circuit Board Layout
The TK2019 is a power (high current) amplifier that operates at relatively high switching frequencies.
The output of the amplifier switches between VDD and GND at high speeds while driving large
currents. This high-frequency digital signal is passed through an LC low-pass filter to recover the
amplified audio signal. Since the amplifier must drive the inductive LC output filter and speaker loads,
the amplifier outputs can be pulled above the supply voltage and below ground by the energy in the
output inductanor. To avoid subjecting the TK2019 to potentially damaging voltage stress, it is critical
to have a good printed circuit board layout. It is recommended that Tripath’s layout and application
circuit be used for all applications and only be deviated from after careful analysis of the effects of any
changes.
The following components are important to place near their associated TC2001/TPS1035 pins and
are ranked in order of layout importance, either for proper device operation or performance
considerations.
-
The capacitors CHBR provide high frequency bypassing of the amplifier power supplies and
will serve to reduce spikes across the supply rails. CHBR should be kept within 1/8” (3mm)
of the VCC pins. Please note that the four VDD pins must be decoupled separately. In
addition, the voltage rating for CHBR should be 35V as this capacitor is exposed to the full
supply range.
-
CFB removes very high frequency components from the amplifier feedback signals and
lowers the output switching frequency by delaying the feedback signals. In addition, the
value of CFB is different for channel 1 and channel 2 to keep the average switching
frequency difference greater than 40kHz. This minimizes in-band audio noise.
-
To minimize noise pickup and minimize THD+N, RFBC should be located as close to the
TC2001 as possible. Make sure that the routing of the high voltage feedback lines is kept
far away from the input op amps or significant noise coupling may occur. It is best to shield
the high voltage feedback lines by using a ground plane around these traces as well as the
input section.
In general, to enable placement as close to the TC2001/TPS1035, and minimize PCB parasitics, the
capacitors listed above (with the exception of the bulk capacitors) should be surface mount types.
11
TK2019 – MC/2.1/10-03
Tr i path Technol ogy, I nc. - Techni cal I nfor m ati on
Some components are not sensitive to location but are very sensitive to layout and trace routing.
-
To maximize the damping factor and reduce distortion and noise, the modulator feedback
connections should be routed directly to the pins of the output inductors, LO.
-
The modulator feedback resistors should all be grounded together through a direct
connection to pin 20 on the TC2001.
TK2019 Grounding
Proper grounding techniques are required to maximize TK2019 functionality and performance.
Parametric parameters such as THD+N, noise floor and cross talk can be adversely affected if proper
grounding techniques are not implemented on the PCB layout. The following discussion highlights
some recommendations about grounding both with respect to the TK2019 as well as general “audio
system” design rules.
The TK2019 is divided into two sections: the input section, and the output (high power) section. On
the TK2019 evaluation board, the ground is also divided into distinct sections, one for the input and
one for the output. To minimize ground loops and keep the audio noise floor as low as possible, the
input and output ground must be only connected at a single point. Depending on the system design,
the single point connection may be in the form of a ferrite bead or a PCB trace.
Modulator Feedback Design
The modulator converts the signal from the input stage to the high-voltage output signal. The
optimum gain of the modulator is determined from the maximum allowable feedback level for the
modulator and maximum supply voltage for the power stage. Depending on the maximum supply
voltage, the feedback ratio will need to be adjusted to maximize performance. The values of RFBB
and RFBC (see explanation below) define the gain of the modulator. Once these values are chosen,
based on the maximum supply voltage, the gain of the modulator will be fixed even with as the supply
voltage fluctuates due to current draw.
For the best signal-to-noise ratio and lowest distortion, the maximum modulator feedback voltage
should be approximately 4Vpp. This will keep the gain of the modulator as low as possible and still
allow headroom so that the feedback signal does not clip the modulator feedback stage.
The modulator feedback resistors are:

The TC2001 input stage is configured as an inverting amplifier, allowing the system designer flexibility
in setting the input stage gain and frequency response. Figure 2 shows a typical application where
the input stage is a constant gain inverting amplifier. The input stage gain should be set so that the
maximum input signal level will drive the input stage output to 4Vpp.

Mute Control
When a logic high signal is supplied to MUTE, both amplifier channels are muted (both high- and lowside transistors are turned off). When a logic level low is supplied to MUTE, both amplifiers are fully
operational. There is a delay of approximately 200 milliseconds between the de-assertion of MUTE
and the un-muting of the TK2019.
To ensure proper device operation, including minimization of turn on/off transients that can result in
undesirable audio artifacts, Tripath recommends that the TK2019 device be muted prior to power up
or power down of the 5V supply. The “sensing” of the V5 supply can be easily accomplished by using
a “microcontroller supervisor” or equivalent to drive the TC2001 mute pin high when the V5 voltage is
below 4.5V. This will ensure proper operation of the TK2019 input circuitry. A micro-controller
supervisor such as the MCP101-450 from Microchip Corporation has been used by Tripath to
implement clean power up/down operation.
If turn-on and/or turn-off noise is still present with a TK2019 amplifier, the cause may be other
circuitry external to the TK2019. While the TK2019 has circuitry to suppress turn-on and turn-off
transients, the combination of power supply and other audio circuitry with the TK2019 in a particular
application may exhibit audible transients. One solution that will completely eliminate turn-on and
turn-off pops and clicks is to use a relay to connect/disconnect that amplifier from the speakers with
the appropriate timing during power on/off.
Output Voltage Offset
The TK2019 does not have internal compensation for DC offset. The output offset voltage must be
trimmed with a potentiometer at the INV1/INV2 pins of the TC2001. If the output offset voltage is not
trimmed the output power of the TK2019 will be reduced. Trimming the output offset voltage also
reduces the turn on pop. The output offset voltage should be measured before the load on the
positive terminal of the output capacitor COUT. This voltage should be trimmed to VDD/2.
Output Filter Design
Tripath amplifiers generally have a higher switching frequency than PWM implementations, allowing
the use of higher cutoff frequency filters and reducing the load dependent peaking/drooping in the
20kHz audio band. This is especially important for applications where the end customer may attach
any speaker to the amplifier (as opposed to a system where speakers are shipped with the amplifier),
since speakers are not purely resistive loads and the impedance they present changes over
frequency and from speaker model to speaker model. An RC network, or “Zobel” (RZ, CZ) should be
placed at the filter output to control the impedance “seen” by the TPS1035 when not attached to a
speaker load. The TK2019 works well with a 2nd order, 80kHz LC filter with LO = 10uH and CO =
0.22uF and RZ = 20 Ohm/1W and CZ = 0.22uF.
Output inductor selection is a critical design step. The core material and geometry of the output filter
inductor affects the TK2019 distortion levels, efficiency, power dissipation and EMI output.
Wound iron powder toroidal cores are the recommended inductor choice for the TK2019. Toroidal
cores have less flux leakage compared to shielded bobbin or shielded SMD inductors, resulting in
reduced EMI and improved channel separation. For typical applications we recommend the
Micrometals Type-2 iron powder (Carbonyl-E) core. This core material has low permeability metal
powder and a distributed air gap for increased energy storage capability. This allows for a small
footprint with high peak current capability.
Minimum and Maximum Supply Voltage Operating Range
The TK2019 can operate over a wide range of power supply voltages from +7.5V to +25V. In order to
optimize operation for either the low or high range, the user must select the proper values for RFBB,
and RFBC as well as RVPP1 and RVPP2.

Over- and Under-Voltage Protection
The TC2001 senses the power rails through external resistor networks connected to VPPSENSE.
The over- and under-voltage limits are determined by the values of the resistors in the networks, as
described in the table “Test/Application Circuit Component Values”. If the supply voltage falls outside
the upper and lower limits determined by the resistor networks, the TC2001 shuts off the TPS1035
output stage. The removal of the over-voltage or under-voltage condition returns the TK2019 to
normal operation. Please note that trip points specified in the Electrical Characteristics table are at
25°C and may change over temperature.
The TC2001 has built-in over and under voltage protection for both the VPP and VNN supply rails.
The nominal operating voltage will typically be chosen as the supply “center point.” This allows the
supply voltage to fluctuate, both above and below, the nominal supply voltage. For the TK2019 only
the VPP (VDD) supply rail will be sensed and the VNN sensing will not be used so pin 17 of the
TC2001 will be shorted to ground.
VPPSENSE (pin 19) performs the over and undervoltage sensing for the positive supply, VPP. When
the current through RVPPSENSE goes below or above the values shown in the Electrical Characteristics
section (caused by changing the power supply voltage), the TK2019 will be muted. VPPSENSE (pin
19) is internally biased at 2.5V.
Once the supply comes back into the supply voltage operating range (as defined by the supply sense
resistors), the TK2019 will automatically be unmuted and will begin to amplify. There is a hysteresis
range on both the VPPSENSE and VNNSENSE pins. If the amplifier is powered up in the hysteresis
band the TK2019 will be muted. Thus, the usable supply range is the difference between the overvoltage turn-off and under-voltage turn-off for both the VPP supply. It should be noted that there is a
timer of approximately 200mS with respect to the over and under voltage sensing circuit. Thus, the
supply voltage must be outside of the user defined supply range for greater than 200mS for the
TK2019 to be muted.
The equation for calculating RVPP1 is as follows:
R VPP1 =
VPP
I VPPSENSE
Set R VPP2 = R VPP1 .
IVPPSENSE can be any of the currents shown in the Electrical Characteristics table for
VPPSENSE.
The two resistors, RVPP2 and RVNN2 compensate for the internal bias points. Thus, RVPP1 and RVNN1
can be used for the direct calculation of the actual VPP and VNN trip voltages without considering the
effect of RVPP2 and RVNN2.
Using the resistor values from above, the actual minimum over voltage turn off points will be:
VPP MIN_OV_TUR
N_OFF
= R VPP1 × I VPPSENSE
(MIN_OV_TU RN_OFF)
The other three trip points can be calculated using the same formula but inserting the appropriate
IVPPSENSE current value. As stated earlier, the usable supply range is the difference between the
minimum overvoltage turn off and maximum under voltage turn-off for the VPP supply.
VPP RANGE = VPP MIN_OV_TUR

Figure 3 shows an overcurrent detection circuit that will mute the amplifier whenever the TPS1035
detects an overcurrent condition. The fault pin (pin 8 of the TPS1035) is an overcurrent indicator and
is normally high (approximately 5.4V). When an overcurrent condition is detected this pin will go low
(0V). When the fault pin goes low Q2 will turn on and pull the Mute pin of the TC2001 to 5V (if the
switch is closed). This is due to the fact that the emitter voltage of Q2 is controlled by the HMUTE pin
of the TC2001 through Q1. If HMUTE is low the emitter voltage of Q2 will be connected to the 5V line.
If HMUTE is high Q2 is disabled and the mute pin will be pulled low through the 20kΩ resistor. In this
circuit, whenever the switch is open the Mute pin will be pulled up to 5V and the amplifier will be
muted.
Whenever the MUTE pin on the TC2001 is high (or enabled) the HMUTE pin will also switch high.
The sleep pin of the TPS1035 is controlled by HMUTE of the TC2001 so that during any mute or
overcurrent condition the TPS1035 is placed in sleep mode. Whenever SLEEP is enabled, the
FAULT pin is low and mutes the TC2001. Q1 controls the emitter voltage of Q2 through HMUTE so
that whenever the SLEEP is enabled the TC2001 can become unmuted again.
Over-temperature Protection
An over-temperature fault occurs if the junction temperature of the TPS1035 exceeds approximately
165°C. The thermal hysteresis of the part is approximately 30°C, therefore the fault will automatically
clear when the junction temperature drops below 135°C.
HMUTE
The HMUTE pin on the TC2001 is a 5V logic output that indicates various fault conditions within the
device. These conditions include: over-current, overvoltage and undervoltage. The HMUTE output is
high whenever a fault condition occurs or mute is enabled. The HMUTE pin is capable of directly
driving an LED through a series 2kΩ resistor.

OVRLDB
The OVRLDB pin is a 5V logic output that is asserted just at the onset of clipping. When low, it
indicates that the level of the input signal has overloaded the amplifier resulting in increased distortion
at the output. The OVRLDB signal can be used to control a distortion indicator light or LED through a
transistor, as the OVRLDB cannot drive an LED directly. There is a 20K resistor on chip in series with
the OVRLDB output.
Performance Measurements of the TK2019
The TK2019 operates by generating a high frequency switching signal based on the audio input. This
signal is sent through a low-pass filter (external to the Tripath amplifier) that recovers an amplified
version of the audio input. The frequency of the switching pattern is spread spectrum in nature and
typically varies between 100kHz and 1MHz, which is well above the 20Hz – 20kHz audio band. The
pattern itself does not alter or distort the audio input signal, but it does introduce some inaudible
components.
The measurements of certain performance parameters, particularly noise related specifications such
as THD+N, are significantly affected by the design of the low-pass filter used on the output as well as
the bandwidth setting of the measurement instrument used. Unless the filter has a very sharp roll-off
just beyond the audio band or the bandwidth of the measurement instrument is limited, some of the
inaudible noise components introduced by the TK2019 amplifier switching pattern will degrade the
measurement.
One feature of the TK2019 is that it does not require large multi-pole filters to achieve excellent
performance in listening tests, usually a more critical factor than performance measurements.
Though using a multi-pole filter may remove high-frequency noise and improve THD+N type
measurements (when they are made with wide-bandwidth measuring equipment), these same filters
degrade frequency response. The TK2019 Reference Board uses the Application/Test Circuit of this
data sheet, which has a simple two-pole output filter and excellent performance in listening tests.
Measurements in this data sheet were taken using this same circuit with a limited bandwidth setting in
the measurement instrument.
