For optimum performance, these components should be located close to the pin and returned to their respective ground as shown in the Application/Test Circuit. Supply decoupling for the high current H-Bridge supply pins. These components must be located as close to the device as possible to minimize supply overshoot and maximize device reliability.

Panasonic HFQ or FC capacitors are ideal for the bulk capacitor. Zobel capacitor, which in conjunction with RZ, terminates the output filter at high frequencies Zobel resistor, which in conjunction with CZ, terminates the output filter at high frequencies.

Depending on the program material, the power rating of RZ may need to be adjusted. The typical value is ½ watt.

The outputs of the amplifier switch between the supply voltage and ground at high speeds while driving high currents. This high-frequency digital signal is passed through an LC lowpass 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 inductance. To avoid subjecting the TA2020-020 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 figures below are the Tripath TA2020-020 evaluation board. Some of the most critical components on the board are the power supply decoupling capacitors. C674 and C451 must be placed right next to pins 22 and 19 as shown. C673 and C451B must be placed right next to pins 25 and 28 as shown. These power supply decoupling capacitors from the output stage not only help reject power supply noise, but they also absorb voltage spikes on the VDD pins caused by overshoots of the outputs of the amplifiers. Voltage overshoots can also be caused by output inductor flyback during high current switching events such as shorted outputs or driving low impedances at high levels. If these capacitors are not close enough to the pins, electrical overstress to the part can occur, possibly resulting in permanent damage to the TA2020-020. 8 of 13 TA2020-020, Rev. 4.0, 09.00 TECHNICAL INFORMATION B Amplifier Gain The gain of the TA2020-020 is set by the ratio of two external resistors, RI and RF, and is given by the following formula: VO R = 12 F VI RI where VI is the input signal level and VO is the differential output signal level across the speaker. 20 watts of RMS output power results from an 8.944 V RMS signal across a four-ohm speaker load. If RF = RI, then 20 Watts will be achieved with 0.745 V RMS of input signal. 8.944 VRMS = (R L ∗ PO ) = ( 4Ω ∗ 20 W ) Protection Circuits The TA2020-020 is guarded against over-temperature and over-current conditions. When the device goes into an over-temperature or over-current state, the FAULT pin goes to a logic HIGH state indicating a fault condition. When this occurs, the amplifier is muted, all outputs are TRISTATED, and will float to 1/2 of VDD. Over-temperature Protection An over-temperature fault occurs if the junction temperature of the part exceeds approximately 155°C. The thermal hysteresis of the part is approximately 45°C, therefore the fault will automatically clear when the junction temperature drops below 110°C. Over-current Protection An over-current fault occurs if more than approximately 7 amps of current flows from any of the amplifier output pins. This can occur if the speaker wires are shorted together or if one side of the speaker is shorted to ground. An over-current fault sets an internal latch that can only be cleared if the MUTE pin is toggled or if the part is powered down. Alternately, if the MUTE pin is connected to the FAULT pin, the HIGH output of the FAULT pin will toggle the MUTE pin and automatically reset the fault condition. Overload The OVERLOADB pin is a 5V logic output. When low, it indicates that the level of the input signal has overloaded the amplifier resulting in increased distortion at the output. The OVERLOADB signal can be used to control a distortion indicator light or LED through a simple buffer circuit. Sleep Pin The SLEEP pin is a 5V logic input that when pulled high (>3.5V) puts the part into a low quiescent current mode. This pin is internally clamped by a zener diode to approximately 6V thus allowing the TA2020-020, Rev. 4.0, 09.00 9 of 13 B TECHNICAL INFORMATION pin to be pulled up through a large valued resistor (1MΩ recommended) to VDD. To disable SLEEP mode, the sleep pin should be grounded. Fault Pin The FAULT pin is a 5V logic output that indicates various fault conditions within the device. These conditions include: low supply voltage, low charge pump voltage, low 5V regulator voltage, over current at any output, and junction temperature greater than approximately 155°C. The FAULT output is capable of directly driving an LED through a series 200Ω. The FAULT output is capable of directly driving an LED through a series 200Ω resistor. If the FAULT pin is connected directly to the MUTE input an automatic reset will occur in the event of an over-current condition. Heat Sink Requirements In some applications it may be necessary to fasten the TA2020-020 to a heat sink. The determining factor is that the 150°C maximum junction temperature, TJ(max) cannot be exceeded, as specified by the following equation: PDISS = (T J ( MAX ) − TA ) θ JA where… PDISS = maximum power dissipation TJMAX = maximum junction temperature of TA2020-020 TA = operating ambient temperature θJC = junction-to-case thermal resistance of TA2020-020 Example: What size heat sink is required to operate the TA2020-020 at 20W per channel continuously in a 70ºC ambient temperature? PDISS is determined by: Efficiency = η = POUT POUT = PIN POUT − PDISS PDISS (per channel) = POUT 20 − POUT = − 20 = 5 W 0 .8 η Thus, PDISS for two channels = 10W θJA = 10 of 13 (T J ( MAX ) − TA ) PDISS = 150 − 70 = 8°C/W 10 TA2020-020, Rev. 4.0, 09.00 TECHNICAL INFORMATION B The θJA of the TA2020-020 in free air is 15°C/W. The θJC of the TA2020-020 is 3.5°C/W, so a heat sink of 4.5°C/W is required for this example. In actual applications, other factors such as the average PDISS with a music source (as opposed to a continuous sine wave) and regulatory agency testing requirements will determine the size of the heat sink required. Performance Measurements of the TA2020-020 The TA2020-020 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 TA2020-020 amplifier switching pattern will degrade the measurement. One feature of the TA2020-020 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 TA2020-020 Evaluation 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.
