The fully differential input of the SSM2301 provides excellent
rejection of common-mode noise on the input. Input coupling
capacitors can be omitted if the dc input common-mode voltage
is approximately VDD/2.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SSM2301 also has excellent rejection of power supply noise,
including noise caused by GSM transmission bursts and RF
rectification. PSRR is typically 63 dB at 217 Hz.
The SSM2301 is a fully integrated, high efficiency, Class-D audio
amplifier. It is designed to maximize performance for mobile
phone applications. The application circuit requires a minimum
of external components and operates from a single 2.5 V to 5.0 V
supply. It is capable of delivering 1.4 W of continuous output
power with less than 1% THD + N driving an 8 Ω load from a
5.0 V supply.
The gain can be set to 6 dB or 12 dB utilizing the gain control
select pin connected respectively to ground or VDD. Gain can
also be adjusted externally by using an external resistor.
The SSM2301 is specified over the comercial temperature range
(−40°C to +85°C). It has built-in thermal shutdown and output
short-circuit protection. It is available in an 8-lead, 3 mm × 3 mm
lead-frame chip scale package (LFCSP).
The SSM2301 features a high efficiency, low noise modulation
scheme that does not require any external LC output filters. The
modulation continues to provide high efficiency even at low

APPLICATION NOTES
OVERVIEW
POP-AND-CLICK SUPPRESSION
The SSM2301 mono Class-D audio amplifier features a filterless
modulation scheme that greatly reduces the external components
count, conserving board space and thus reducing systems cost.
The SSM2301 does not require an output filter, but instead relies
on the inherent inductance of the speaker coil and the natural
filtering of the speaker and human ear to fully recover the audio
component of the square-wave output. While most Class-D amplifiers use some variation of pulse-width modulation (PWM), the
SSM2301 uses a Σ-Δ modulation to determine the switching
pattern of the output devices. This provides a number of important
benefits. Σ-Δ modulators do not produces a sharp peak with
many harmonics in the AM frequency band, as pulse-width
modulators often do. Σ-Δ modulation provides the benefits of
reducing the amplitude of spectral components at high frequencies;
that is, reducing EMI emission that might otherwise be radiated
by speakers and long cable traces. The SSM2301 also offers
protection circuits for overcurrent and temperature protection.
Voltage transients at the output of audio amplifiers can occur when
shutdown is activated or deactivated. Voltage transients as low
as 10 mV can be heard as an audio pop in the speaker. Clicks
and pops can also be classified as undesirable audible transients
generated by the amplifier system, therefore as not coming from
the system input signal. Such transients can be generated when
the amplifier system changes its operating mode. For example, the
following can be sources of audible transients: system power-up/
power-down, mute/unmute, input source change, and sample rate
change. The SSM2301 has a pop-and-click suppression architecture
that reduces these output transients, resulting in noiseless activation
and deactivation.
GAIN SELECTION
Pulling the GAIN pin high of the SSM2301 sets the gain of the
speaker amplifier to 12 dB; pulling it low sets the gain of the
speaker amplifier to 6 dB.
It is possible to adjust the SSM2301 gain by using external resistors
at the input. To set a gain lower than 12 dB refer to Figure 21 for
differential input configuration and Figure 22 for single-ended
configuration. For external gain configuration from a fixed 12 dB
gain, use the following formula:
External Gain Settings = 20 log[4/(1 + R/150 kΩ)]
To set a gain lower than 6 dB refer to Figure 23 for differential
input configuration and Figure 24 for single-ended configuration.
For external gain configuration from a fixed 6 dB gain, use the
following formula:
External Gain Settings = 20 log[2/(1 + R/150 kΩ)]

Preliminary Technical Data
LAYOUT
INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
As output power continues to increase, care needs to be taken to
lay out PCB traces and wires properly between the amplifier,
load, and power supply. A good practice is to use short, wide
PCB tracks to decrease voltage drops and minimize inductance.
Make track widths at least 200 mil for every inch of track length
for lowest DCR, and use 1 oz or 2 oz of copper PCB traces to
further reduce IR drops and inductance. A poor layout
increases voltage drops, consequently affecting efficiency. Use
large traces for the power supply inputs and amplifier outputs to
minimize losses due to parasitic trace resistance. Proper
grounding guidelines help to improve audio performance,
minimize crosstalk between channels, and prevent switching
noise from coupling into the audio signal. To maintain high
output swing and high peak output power, the PCB traces that
connect the output pins to the load and supply pins should be as
wide as possible to maintain the minimum trace resistances. It
is also recommended to use a large-area ground plane for
minimum impedances. Good PCB layouts also isolate critical
analog paths from sources of high interference. High frequency
circuits (analog and digital) should be separated from low
frequency ones. Properly designed multilayer printed circuit
boards can reduce EMI emission and increase immunity to RF
field by a factor of 10 or more compared with double-sided
boards. A multilayer board allows a complete layer to be used
for ground plane, whereas the ground plane side of a doubleside board is often disrupted with signal crossover. If the system
has separate analog and digital ground and power planes, the
analog ground plane should be underneath the analog power
plane, and, similarly, the digital ground plane should be
underneath the digital power plane. There should be no overlap
between analog and digital ground planes nor analog and
digital power planes.
The SSM2301 will not require input coupling capacitors if the
input signal is biased from 1.0 V to VDD − 1.0 V. Input
capacitors are required if the input signal is not biased within
this recommended input dc common-mode voltage range, if
high-pass filtering is needed (Figure 19), or if using a singleended source (Figure 20). If high-pass filtering is needed at the
input, the input capacitor along with the input resistor of the
SSM2301 will form a high-pass filter whose corner frequency is
determined by the following equation:
fC = 1/(2π × RIN × CIN)
Input capacitor can have very important effects on the circuit
performance. Not using input capacitors degrades the output
offset of the amplifier as well as the PSRR performance.
PROPER POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING
To ensure high efficiency, low total harmonic distortion (THD),
and high PSRR, proper power supply decoupling is necessary.
Noise transients on the power supply lines are short-duration
voltage spikes. Although the actual switching frequency can
range from 10 kHz to 100 kHz, these spikes can contain
frequency components that extend into the hundreds of
megahertz. The power supply input needs to be decoupled with
a good quality low ESL and low ESR capacitor—usually around
4.7 μF. This capacitor bypasses low frequency noises to the
ground plane. For high frequency transients noises, use a 0.1 μF
capacitor as close as possible to the VDD pin of the device.
Placing the decoupling capacitor as close as possible to the
SSM2301 helps maintain efficiency performance.

EVALUATION BOARD INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
Gain Control
The SSM2301 audio power amplifier is a complete low power,
Class-D, stereo audio amplifier capable of delivering 1.4 W/channel
into 8 Ω load. In addition to the minimal parts required for the
application circuit, measurement filters are provided on the
evaluation board so that conventional audio measurements can
be made without additional components.
The gain select header controls the gain setting of the SSM2301.
This section provides an overview of Analog Devices SSM2301
evaluation board. It includes a brief description of the board as
well as a list of the board specifications.

External Gain Settings
It is possible to adjust the SSM2301 gain using external resistors
at the input. To set a gain lower than 12 dB refer to Figure 21
and Figure 22 on the product data sheet for proper circuit configuration. For external gain configuration from a fixed 12 dB
gain, use the following formula:
External Gain Settings = 20 log[4/(1 + R/150 kΩ)]
To set a gain lower than 6 dB refer to Figure 23 and Figure 24
on the product data sheet for proper circuit configuration. For
external gain configuration from a fixed 6 dB gain, use the
following formula:
External Gain Settings = 20 log[2/(1 + R/150 kΩ)]
OPERATION
Shutdown Control
Use the following steps when operating the SSM2301
evaluation board.
Power and Ground
1.
Set the power supply voltage between 2.5 V and 5.0 V. When
connecting the power supply to the SSM2301 evaluation
board, make sure to attach the ground connection to the
GND header pin first and then connect the positive supply
to the VDD header pin.
Inputs and Outputs
1.
Ensure that the audio source is set to the minimum level.
2.
Connect the audio source to Inputs IN± and IN±.
3.
Connect the speakers to Outputs OUT± and OUT±.
The shutdown select header controls the shutdown function of
the SSM2301. The shutdown pin on the SSM2301 is active low,
meaning that a low voltage (GND) on this pin places the SSM2301
into shutdown mode.
1.
Select jumper to 1-2 position. Shutdown pulled to VDD.
2.
Select jumper to 2-3 position. Shutdown pulled to GND.
Input Configurations
1.
For differential input configuration with input capacitors
do not place a jumper on J2 and J3.
2.
For differential input configuration without input capacitors
place a jumper on J2 and J3.
