FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
D 3 W Into 16 Ω From 12-V Supply
The TPA6030A4 is designed to drive 3 W into 16-Ω
speakers using a surface-mount package without the need
for an external heatsink. These features make it ideal for
15I–17I LCD monitors, small multimedia speakers, and
notebook computers.
D Volume Control for Speakers (BTL) and
Headphones (SE)
D Differential Inputs
To simplify system design, the speaker volume level is
adjusted by applying a dc voltage to the VOLUME
terminal. The delta between speaker volume and
headphone volume can be adjusted by applying a dc
voltage to the SEDIFF terminal. To avoid an unexpected
high volume level through the headphones, a third
terminal, SEMAX, limits the headphone volume level
when a dc voltage is applied. Integrated depop circuitry
and the fully differential design minimize pops, clicks, and
unwanted noise to provide a high level of audio
performance.
D Depop Circuitry
D 1 µA Shutdown Current
D Surface-Mount Package
APPLICATIONS
D LCD Monitors and LCD TVs
The device is available in a 28-pin TSSOP PowerPAD
package. The PowerPAD package is designed to
transfer heat into the ground plane, eliminating the need
for external heat sinks—minimizing solution cost and size.

These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The
leads should be shorted together or the device placed in
conductive foam during storage or handling to prevent
electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
CAUTION:
During normal operation, shorting the outputs together, to
ground, or to VCC may cause permanent damage to the
device.

The volume in single-ended (SE) mode is determined by the following equation:
SE Volume + min [(VOLUME * SEDIFF) or (SEMAX)]*6 dB, where VOLUME is the voltage (expressed in terms
of %VREF) applied to the VOLUME pin, SEDIFF is the voltage (%VREF) applied to the SEDIFF pin, and SEMAX is the
voltage (%VREF) applied to the SEMAX pin. The SE Volume control is integrated into the 32-step volume control. A block

Figure 2. Speakers (BTL) and Headphones (SE) Volume vs %5VREF
Figure 2 illustrates the functionality of the TPA6030A4 volume control. As the voltage applied to the VOLUME control pin
is increased, the volume increases.
Increasing the voltage on the SEDIFF pin increases the delta in volume between speaker (BTL) and headphone (SE)
volume from a minimum of 6 dB to a maximum reduction in headphone volume, resulting in mute.
The SEMAX input limits the maximum output level in headphone mode. The dashed line shows operation with SEMAX
set to 5VREF, which results in maximum output in headphone mode. The horizontal line in Figure 2 shows operation with
SEDIFF set to 0V, and SEMAX set to 67.3% of 5VREF, for a maximum volume in headphone mode of 7.2 dB.
Neither SEMAX nor SEDIFF have any affect on the volume in speaker mode.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
VOLUME, SEDIFF, AND SEMAX OPERATION
The three pins labeled VOLUME, SEDIFF, and SEMAX control the speaker (BTL) volume (VOLUME pin only) and the
headphone (SE) volume. All three of these pins are controlled with a dc voltage. These voltages are a percentage of the
voltage on the 5VREF pin. The 5VREF pin sources up to 5 mA when VCC = 12 V. It is specifically designed to be a reference
voltage supply for the volume control that can be used with analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), resistor divider networks,
and potentiometers.
When driving in BTL mode, the VOLUME pin is the only pin that controls the volume. Table 1 shows the different volumes
and the corresponding voltages applied to the VOLUME pin. When driving in SE mode, all three pins can be used to control
the volume. Table 2 shows the different headphone volumes and the corresponding voltages applied to each pin.
The TPA6030A4 allows the user to specify a difference between the BTL volume and the SE volume. This is desirable
because it allows the user to avoid any listening discomfort when plugging in headphones. The volume in headphone mode
is proportional to that in speaker mode, and is no less than 6 dB lower (refer to the section labeled bridge–tied load versus
single-ended load for an explanation).
The SEDIFF and SEMAX pins control the difference in volume between speaker and headphone modes. As the voltage
on the SEDIFF pin is increased, the difference between the BTL and SE volumes is also increased. Applying a lower voltage
on the SEDIFF pin decreases the volume difference. So, for example, if the speaker volume was set to 36 dB, and SEMAX
was set to 5VREF, one could vary SEDIFF to get a headphone volume from as much as 30 dB to as little as –86 dB, or
mute.
The SEMAX pin can be used to set the maximum possible headphone volume. The greater the voltage applied to this pin,
the higher the maximum volume. If the voltage reaches 5VREF, any volume level set by the VOLUME and SEDIFF pins
passes on through to the headphones. Should the voltage on SEMAX go to 0 V, the headphones would be muted,
regardless of what voltage is applied to the VOLUME and SEDIFF pins. The level set by the SEMAX pin does not affect
headphone volumes below that maximum level. Table 2 shows examples of how these pins interact with each other.

CLOCK PIN
The TPA6030A4 has an internal clock whose frequency is controlled by the value of an external capacitor on pin 20. The
relationship between the capacitor and the clock frequency is seen in Figure 15.
The clock plays a pivotal role in the functionality of the TPA6030A4. It determines how quickly the volume can change.
When a voltage is applied to the VOLUME pin (or if in SE mode, the SEDIFF or SEMAX pins as well), it causes a change
in volume. The volume does not change instantaneously. It moves one step for every sixteen clock cycles. For example,
if the volume is initially at 36 dB in BTL mode, and then a voltage is applied to the VOLUME pin to set the volume to 0.53 dB,
the volume decreases by 14 steps. With a 47-nF capacitor connected to the clock pin, the clock frequency is 390 Hz. The
time it takes for the volume to reach the desired level is 574 ms. See equation 1.

Figure 16 demonstrates how the volume changes with respect to the clock cycles, and how the frequency of the clock
affects the time necessary for each step. The triangular waveform is the voltage on the clock pin, and in this case, the clock
frequency is 390 Hz. Each volume step takes 41 ms, which is consistent with equation 1.

SHUTDOWN
The shutdown function of the TPA6030A4 is designed to bring all the outputs and the BYPASS pin to dc ground. The output
transistors are turned off, and the current consumption of the device drops to less than 3 µA.
In order for the part to go into shutdown, the SHUTDOWN pin must be held at a logic low (0.8 V to 0 V). Once the
SHUTDOWN pin is held at a logic low, the volume must ramp down to mute. The device goes through each volume step
until the output is muted. That is why it takes longer for the device to shut down at higher volume levels (see Figures 17,
18, and 21). The device has to go through more steps. Once the volume is muted, the dc voltage of the outputs go to ground.
The time it takes for this stage of the shutdown process is proportional to the size of the BYPASS capacitor. The smaller
the capacitor, the more quickly the device shuts down. See Figure 21. However, making the BYPASS capacitor too small
likely results in unwanted pop. The recommended range of values are between 0.1 µF to 1 µF.
The start-up time, however, is not dependent upon the volume level. Figures 19 and 20 show that the start-up time for the
TPA6030A4 is not dependent upon the volume level. When the SHUTDOWN pin is held at a logic high (2 V to VCC), the
dc level of the outputs begin to increase. At the same time, the volume control is ramping up until it reaches the desired
volume level.

Figure 22. Typical Application Circuit for an LCD Monitor
Volume Control Description
The circuit shown in Figure 22 automatically switches between headphone outputs and speaker outputs when a
headphone plug is inserted or removed from the headphone jack. Additionally, this circuit uses resistor divider networks
to limit the headphone volume. Resistors R8 and R9 form a divider network that applies 67% of 5VREF to the SEMAX
pin, which results in a maximum output of 7.2 dB. Resistors R2 and R3 form a divider network that applies 18% of 5VREF
to the SEDIFF pin.
16
www.ti.com
SLOS395A – DECEMBER 2002 – REVISED JANUARY 2003
The effect of the resistor dividers can be observed when the output is switched from speaker to headphone mode. If the
voltage on the volume pin is greater than 85% of 5VREF, the resistor divider network around SEMAX limits the headphone
volume to 7.2 dB. If the voltage on the VOLUME pin falls below 85% of 5VREF, SEDIFF limits the headphone volume to
13.6 dB less than the speaker volume. To convert a percentage of 5VREF to volume in dB, refer to the column in Table
1 labeled %5VREF, and find the corresponding speaker volume. That value can then be substituted into the following
equations for VOLUME, SEDIFF, or SEMAX. It is important, however, to find the minimum based on the %5VREF before
converting to dB.
SE Volume + min ƪ(VOLUME * SEDIFF) or (SEMAX)ƫ*6 dB
(2)
When the voltage on the VOLUME pin is > 85% of 5VREF, or at 90% of 5VREF for example, the headphone volume is
determined by the following equation:
SE Volume + min ƪ(90%5VREF * 18%5VREF) or (67%5VREF)ƫ*6 dB +
67%5VREF * 6dB + 13.2 dB*6 dB + 7.2 dB
(3)
When the voltage on the VOLUME pin is < 85% of 5VREF, or at 50% of 5VREF for example, the headphone volume is
determined by the following equation:
SE volume + min ƪ(50%5VREF * 18%5VREF) or (67%5VREF)ƫ*6 dB +
32%5VREF*6 dB + *19.73 dB*6 dB + *25.73 dB
(4)
When the voltage on the VOLUME pin = 85% of 5VREF, both SEMAX and SEDIFF have the same affect on the headphone
volume.
SE Volume + min ƪ(85%5VREF * 18%5VREF) or (67%5VREF)ƫ*6 dB +
67%5VREF*6 dB + 13.2 dB*6 dB + 7.2 dB
(5)
–46 dB is the lowest the SE volume can go without going into mute. So, for example, if the end calculation for the SE volume
was –50 dB, the actual volume would be mute.
It is important to note that the evaluation module (EVM) for the TPA6030A4, SLOP365, does not have fixed resistors for
setting the voltages on the VOLUME, SEDIFF, and SEMAX pins. It has potentiometers in place of the resistor divider
networks for added flexibility. Potentiometers may be used in an application as well.
Another method of controlling the voltage on the SEDIFF and SEMAX pins would be to apply the voltage with an external
controller, using 5VREF as a reference voltage.
Input Capacitor, CI
The input capacitor allows the amplifier to bias the input signal to the proper dc level for proper operation. In this case, the
input capacitor, CI, and the input impedance of the amplifier, RI, form a high-pass filter with the corner frequency determined
in equation 6. Figure 23 shows how the input capacitor and the input resistor within the amplifier interact.

The value of CI is important to consider as it directly affects the low frequency, or bass, performance of the circuit.
Futhermore, the input impedance changes with a change in volume. The higher the volume, the lower the input impedance.

can be determined from Figure 12.

Low leakage tantalum or ceramic capacitors are recommended. 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 VCC/2, which is likely higher
than the source dc level. Note that it is important to confirm the capacitor polarity in each specific application.
Recommended capacitor values are between 0.1 µF and 1 µF.
Power Supply Decoupling, CS
The TPA6030A4 is a high-performance 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 to reduce different types of noise on the power supply leads. For higher frequency transients, spikes, or
digital noise on the power supply, a good low equivalent-series-resistance (ESR) ceramic capacitor, typically 0.1 µF, should
be placed as close as possible to the device VCC pin. For filtering lower frequency noise signals, a larger aluminum
electrolytic capacitor of 10 µF or greater should be placed near the audio power amplifier.
Midrail Bypass Capacitor, C(BYPASS)
The midrail bypass capacitor, C(BYPASS), has several important functions. During start-up or recovery from shutdown mode,
C(BYPASS) determines the rate at which the amplifier starts up. C(BYPASS) also reduces noise coupled into the output signal
by the power supply. Generally, ceramic or tantalum low-ESR capacitors with values ranging from 0.1 µF to 1.0 µF are
recommended for the best THD and noise performance.
Output Coupling Capacitor, CC
In a typical single-supply SE configuration, an output coupling capacitor, CC, is required to block the dc bias at the output
of the amplifier, thus preventing dc currents from flowing through the load. This in turn reduces the current draw of the
amplifier significantly. As with the input coupling capacitor, the output coupling capacitor and impedance of the load form
a high pass filter governed by equation 8.

load varies from 16 Ω, 32 Ω, 10 kΩ, and 47 kΩ. Table 3 summarizes the frequency response characteristics of each of the

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 the 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.
Bridge-Tied Load Versus Single-Ended Mode
Figure 24 shows a Class-AB audio power amplifier (APA) in a bridge-tied-load (BTL) configuration. The TPA6030A4
amplifier consists of two Class-AB differential amplifiers driving both the positive and negative terminals of the load (per
channel). Specifically, differential drive means that as one side amplifier (the positive terminal, for example) is slewing up,
the other side is slewing down, and vice versa. This doubles the voltage swing across the load as opposed to a
ground-referenced load, or a single-ended load. Power is proportional to the square of the voltage. Plugging 2x VO(PP) into
the power equation yields 4X the output power from the same supply rail and load impedance as would have been obtained
with a ground referenced load (see equation 9).

Figure 25. Single-Ended Configuration and Frequency Response
Bridge-tying the outputs in a typical computer audio, or LCD TV or multimedia LCD monitor application drastically increases
output power. For example, if an amplifier in a single-ended configuration was capable of outputting a maximum of 250 mW
for a given load with a supply voltage of 12 V, then that same amplifier would be able to output 1 W of power in a BTL
configuration with the same supply voltage and load. In addition to the increase in output power, the BTL configuration does
not suffer from the same low frequency issues that plague the single-ended configuration. In a BTL configuration, there
is no need for an output capacitor to block dc, so no unwanted filtering occurs. In addition, the BTL configuration saves
money and space, as the dc-blocking capacitors needed for single-ended operation are large and expensive. For example,
with an 8-Ω load in SE operation, the user needs a capacitor of 995 µF to obtain a lower cutoff frequency of 20 Hz. This
capacitor would be very expensive and very large.
Single-Ended Operation
Figure 25 shows a Class-AB audio power amplifier in an SE configuration. In SE mode, the load is driven from the primary
amplifier for each channel (Rout+ and Lout+, terminals 27 and 16 respectively). The amplifier switches from BTL to SE
mode when the SE/BTL pin is held high(1). This puts the negative outputs of the amplifier into a high impedance state, and
reduces the amplifier’s gain according to the voltage applied to SEDIFF and SEMAX.
SE/BTL Operation
The ability of the TPA6030A4 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 an external headphone must be accommodated. The follower amplifiers that drive
Rout– and Lout– (terminals 1 and 14) are controlled by the SE/BTL input (terminal 26). When SE/BTL is held low(1), the
amplifiers are on and the TPA6030A4 is in the BTL mode. When SE/BTL is held high(1), only the positive output amplifiers
are on. The negative outputs enter a high impedance state, which configures the TPA6030A4 as an SE driver from the
Rout+ and Lout+ outputs (terminals 27 and 16). Control of the SE/BTL input can be from a separate voltage source or, more
typically, from a resistor divider network. See Figure 26 for an example of a resistor divider network.
Using a readily available 1/8-in. (3,5 mm) stereo headphone jack, the control switch is closed when no plug is inserted.
When closed, the parallel combination of R5 and R7 (see Figure 22) pulls the SE/BTL pin low(1), causing the device to
operate in BTL mode. When a plug is inserted, the 1-kΩ resistor is disconnected and the SE/BTL input is pulled high(1).
When the input goes high(1), the negative output amplifiers go into a state of high impedance, essentially open circuiting
the speaker. The positive output amplifiers then drive through the output capacitor (CO) into the headphone jack.
IN2/IN1 Operation
The TPA6030A4 has the ability to switch between the two input sources. Those sources are dubbed IN2 and IN1. There
is no functional difference between the two inputs. Both perform equally well with any audio signal (provided that signal
is within the specified limits set forth earlier in this document). However, only one input at a time is allowed through to the
output. IN2/IN1 (terminal 26) controls which input is allowed into the amplifier. As with SE/BTL, IN2/IN1 can be controlled
by either a separate voltage source or, more typically, from a resistor divider network. See Figure 26 for an example of a
resistor divider network.

SLOS395A – DECEMBER 2002 – REVISED JANUARY 2003
Tying the SE/BTL and IN2/IN1 Pins Together
In some applications, it may be desirable to have one input specifically for BTL operation and one input specifically for SE
operation. This is accomplished by tying the SE/BTL and IN2/IN1 pins together and connecting them to a common control
voltage. An example of this type of configuration can be found in Figure 22. The two pins are tied together and are
connected to the resistor divider network. That network is connected to the stereo headphone jack, and is closed when
no plug is inserted. This pulls both the IN2/IN1 and SE/BTL pins low, causing the amplifier to go into BTL mode using the
IN1 (RIN1 and LIN1) inputs. Should a headphone plug be inserted into the headphone jack, both inputs would be pulled
high, and the amplifier would be in SE mode using the IN2 inputs.

THERMAL INFORMATION
Class-AB amplifiers are inefficient. The primary cause of these inefficiencies is a 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 VCC. The internal voltage drop multiplied by the
average value of the supply current, ICCavg, 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 and average values of power in the load and in the amplifier,
the current and voltage waveform shapes must first be understood (see Figure 27).

Figure 27. Voltage and Current Waveforms for BTL Amplifiers
Although the voltages and currents for SE and BTL are sinusoidal in the load, currents from the supply are very different
between SE and BTL configurations. In an SE application the current waveform is a half-wave rectified waveform, 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:

Tables 4 and 5 employ equations 14 and 18 respectively to calculate efficiencies for different output power levels.
Calculating the efficiency for a specific system is the key to proper power supply design. For a stereo 3-W audio system
with 16-Ω loads and a 12-V supply, the maximum draw on the power supply is almost 9.6 W.
A final point to remember about Class-AB amplifiers is how to manipulate the terms in the efficiency equations to the best
advantage when possible. Note that in equations 14 and 18, VCC is in the denominator. This indicates that as VCC goes
down, efficiency goes up. Additionally, RL appears in both the numerator and denominator. Since the more dominant term
is in the numerator, as RL goes up, the efficiency goes up.
A simple formula for calculating the power dissipated, PDISS, is as follows:
PDISS = (1–η)PSUP
The maximum ambient temperature, TA, depends on the heat sinking ability of the PCB system. The derating factor for a
28-pin PWP is shown in the dissipation rating table.

Given ΘJA, the maximum allowable junction temperature, and the maximum internal dissipation, the maximum ambient
temperature can be calculated using equation 21. The maximum recommended junction temperature for the TPA6030A4
is 150°C.
T A Max + T J Max * ΘJA P Diss
(20)
The maximum ambient temperature for the TPA6030A4 operating with a 12-V supply, and driving 3 W into 16-Ω loads
(stereo operation) is:
T A Max + 150 * 27.93 (3.6) + 50.2°C

The derating factor is crucial for proper thermal performance. The higher the derating factor, the more power can be
dissipated from the device. Board layout affects the derating factor, and should be optimized to achieve the best thermal
performance. Using boards with large copper planes that are uncut by signal or power paths help tremendously. Using
heavier copper, 2 oz. as opposed to 1 oz., is also beneficial. Placing the device close to a fan is another way to enhance
thermal performance. Most importantly, the PowerPAD must be properly soldered down. Refer to the PowerPAD Thermally
Enhanced Package application note (SLMA002).
