This high bandwidth, extremely low noise device is ideal for high performance equipment. The better than 120 dB of dynamic range exceeds the capabilities of the human ear, ensuring that nothing audible is lost due to the amplifier. The solid design and performance of the TPA6120A2 ensures that music, not the amplifier, is heard. Three key features make current-feedback amplifiers outstanding for audio. The first feature is the high slew rate that prevents odd order distortion anomalies. The second feature is current-on-demand at the output that enables the amplifier to respond quickly and linearly when necessary without risk of output distortion. When large amounts of output power are suddenly needed, the amplifier can respond extremely quickly without raising the noise floor of the system and degrading the signal-to-noise ratio. The third feature is the gain-independent frequency response that allows the full bandwidth of the amplifier to be used over a wide range of gain settings. The excess loop gain does not deteriorate at a rate of 20 dB/decade.

Current-feedback results in low voltage noise, high open-loop gain throughout a large frequency range, and low distortion. It can be used in a similar fashion as voltage-feedback amplifiers. The low distortion of the TPA6120A2 results in a signal-to-noise ratio of 120 dB as well as a dynamic range of 120 dB. Independent Power Supplies The TPA6120A2 consists of two independent high-fidelity amplifiers. Each amplifier has its own voltage supply. This allows the user to leave one of the amplifiers off, saving power, and reducing the heat generated. It also reduces crosstalk. Although the power supplies are independent, there are some limitations. When both amplifiers are used, the same voltage must be applied to each amplifier. For example, if the left channel amplifier is connected to a ±12-V supply, the right channel amplifier must also be connected to a ±12-V supply. If it is connected to a different supply voltage, the device may not operate properly and consistently. When the use of only one amplifier is preferred, it must be the left amplifier. The voltage supply to the left amplifier is also responsible for internal start-up and bias circuitry of the device. Regardless of whether one or both amplifiers are used, the VCC- pins of both amplifiers must always be at the same potential. To power down the right channel amplifier, disconnect the VCC+ pin from the power source. The two independent power supplies can be tied together on the board to receive their power from the same source. Power Supply Decoupling As with any design, proper power supply decoupling is essential. It prevents noise from entering the device via the power traces and provides the extra power the device can sometimes require in a rapid fashion. This prevents the device from being momentarily current starved. Both of these functions serve to reduce distortion, leaving a clean, uninterrupted signal at the output. Bulk decoupling capacitors should be used where the main power is brought to the board. Smaller capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the actual power pins of the device. Because the TPA6120A2 has four power pins, use four surface mount capacitors. Both types of capacitors should be low ESR. Resistor Values RF = 1 k VCC− RI = 1 k − VI + RS = 50 RO = 10 RL VCC+ Figure 24. Single-Ended Input With a Noninverting Gain of 2 V/V In the most basic configuration (see Figure 24), four resistors must be considered, not including the load impedance. The feedback and input resistors, RF and RI, respectively, determine the closed-loop gain of the amplifier. RO is a series output resistor designed to protect the amplifier from any capacitance on the output path, including board and load capacitance. RS is a series input resistor. Because the TPA6120A2 is a current-feedback amplifier, take care when choosing the feedback resistor. 13 TPA6120A2 www.ti.com SLOS431 – MARCH 2004 APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued) The value of the feedback resistor should be chosen by using Figure 27 through Figure 32 as guidelines. The gain can then be set by adjusting the input resistor. The smaller the feedback resistor, the less noise is introduced into the system. However, smaller values move the dominant pole to higher and higher frequencies, making the device more susceptible to oscillations. Higher feedback resistor values add more noise to the system, but pull the dominant pole down to lower frequencies, making the device more stable. Higher impedance loads tend to make the device more unstable. One way to combat this problem is to increase the value of the feedback resistor. It is not recommended that the feedback resistor exceed a value of 10 kΩ. The typical value for the feedback resistor for the TPA6120A2 is 1 kΩ. In some cases, where a high-impedance load is used along with a relatively large gain and a capacitive load, it may be necessary to increase the value of the feedback resistor from 1 kΩ to 2 kΩ, thus adding more stability to the system. Another method to deal with oscillations is to increase the size of RO. CAUTION: Do not place a capacitor in the feedback path. Doing so can cause oscillations. Capacitance at the outputs can cause oscillations. Capacitance from some sources, such as layout, can be minimized. Other sources, such as those from the load (e.g., the inherent capacitance in a pair of headphones), cannot be easily minimized. In this case, adjustments to RO and/or RF may be necessary. The series output resistor should be kept at a minimum of 10 Ω. It is small enough so that the effect on the load is minimal, but large enough to provide the protection necessary such that the output of the amplifier sees little capacitance. The value can be increased to provide further isolation, up to 100 Ω. The series resistor, RS, should be used for two reasons: 1. It prevents the positive input pin from being exposed to capacitance from the line and source. 2. It prevents the source from seeing the input capacitance of the TPA6120A2. The 50-Ω resistor was chosen because it provides ample protection without interfering in any noticeable way with the signal. Not shown is another 50-Ω resistor that can be placed on the source side of RS to ground. In that capacity, it serves as an impedance match to any 50-Ω source. RF = 1 k VCC− RI = 1 k VI − RO = 10 + RL VCC+ Figure 25. Single-Ended Input With a Noninverting Gain of -1 V/V RF = 1 k VCC− RI= 1 k VI− − VI+ + RI = 1 k RO = 10 RL VCC+ RF = 1 k Figure 26. Differential Input With a Noninverting Gain of 2 V/V Figure 26 shows the TPA6120A2 connected with differential inputs. Differential inputs are useful because they take the greatest advantage of the device's high CMRR. The two feedback resistor values must be kept the same, as do the input resistor values. 14 TPA6120A2 www.ti.com SLOS431 – MARCH 2004 APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued) Special note regarding mono operation: • If both amplifiers are powered on, but only one channel is to be used, the unused amplifier MUST have a feedback resistor from the output to the negative input. Additionally, the positive input should be grounded as close to the pin as possible. Terminate the output as close to the output pin as possible with a 25-Ω load to ground. • These measures should be followed to prevent the unused amplifier from oscillating. If it oscillates, and the power pins of both amplifiers are tied together, the performance of the amplifier could be seriously degraded. Checking for Oscillations and Instability Checking the stability of the amplifier setup is recommended. High frequency oscillations in the megahertz region can cause undesirable effects in the audio band. Sometimes, the oscillations can be quite clear. An unexpectedly large draw from the power supply may be an indication of oscillations. These oscillations can be seen with an oscilloscope. However, if the oscillations are not obvious, or there is a chance that the system is stable but close to the edge, placing a scope probe with 10 pF of capacitance can make the oscillations worse, or actually cause them to start. A network analyzer can be used to determine the inherent stability of a system. An output vs frequency curve generated by a network analyzer can be a good indicator of stability. At high frequencies, the curve shows whether a system is oscillating, close to oscillation, or stable. Looking at Figure 27 through Figure 32, several different phenomena occur. In one scenario, the system is stable because the high frequency rolloff is smooth and has no peaking. Increasing RF decreases the frequency at which this rolloff occurs (see the Resistor Values section). Another scenario shows some peaking at high frequency. If the peaking is 2 dB, the amplifier is stable as there is still 45 degrees of phase margin. As the peaking increases, the phase margin shrinks, the amplifier and the system, move closer to instability. The same system that has a 2-dB peak has an increased peak when a capacitor is added to the output. This indicates the system is either on the verge of oscillation or is oscillating, and corrective action is required. 3 3 RF = 620 Ω RF = 820 Ω 1 0 −1 RF = 1 kΩ −2 −3 −4 −5 −6 −7 10 VCC = ±15 V RL = 100 Ω Gain = 1 V/V VI = 200 mV 100 1k 10k 100k 1M 10M 100M 500M f − Frequency − Hz Figure 27.

Output Amplitude vs Frequency PCB Layout Proper board layout is crucial to getting the maximum performance out of the TPA6120A2. A ground plane should be used on the board to provide a low inductive ground connection. Having a ground plane underneath traces adds capacitance, so care must be taken when laying out the ground plane on the underside of the board (assuming a 2-layer board). The ground plane is necessary on the bottom for thermal reasons. However, certain areas of the ground plane should be left unfilled. The area underneath the device where the PowerPAD is soldered down should remain, but there should be no ground plane underneath any of the input and output pins. This places capacitance directly on those pins and leads to oscillation problems. The underside ground plane should remain unfilled until it crosses the device side of the input resistors and the output series resistor. Thermal reliefs should be avoided if possible because of the inductance they introduce. 16 TPA6120A2 www.ti.com SLOS431 – MARCH 2004 APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued) Despite the removal of the ground plane in critical areas, stray capacitance can still make its way onto the sensitive outputs and inputs. Place components as close as possible to the pins and reduce trace lengths. See Figure 33 and Figure 34. It is important for the feedback resistor to be extremely close to the pins, as well as the series output resistor. The input resistor should also be placed close to the pin. If the amplifier is to be driven in a noninverting configuration, ground the input close to the device so the current has a short, straight path to the PowerPAD (gnd).

Layout Designed To Reduce Capacitance On Critical Nodes Thermal Considerations Amplifiers can generate quite a bit of heat. Linear amplifiers, as opposed to Class-D amplifiers, are extremely inefficient, and heat dissipation can be a problem. There is no one to one relationship between output power and heat dissipation, so the following equations must be used: PL Efficiency of an amplifier P SUP (1) Where 2 PL P SUP 2 VLRMS V V , and VLRMS P , therefore, P L P per channel 2 RL 2RL VCC I CCavg VCC I CC(q) I CCavg (3) 2 VP VP V 1 sin(t) dt [cos(t)] 2 P RL R L RL 0 0 (2) (4) Where 17 TPA6120A2 www.ti.com SLOS431 – MARCH 2004 APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued) VP 2 PL R L (5) Therefore, V V P SUP CC P V CC I CC(q) RL (6) PL = Power delivered to load (per channel) PSUP = Power drawn from power supply VLRMS = RMS voltage on the load RL = Load resistance VP = Peak voltage on the load ICCavg = Average current drawn from the power supply ICC(q) = Quiescent current (per channel) VCC = Power supply voltage (total supply voltage = 30 V if running on a ±15-V power supply η = Efficiency of a SE amplifier For stereo operation, the efficiency does not change because both PL and PSUP are doubled. This effects the amount of power dissipated by the package in the form of heat. A simple formula for calculating the power dissipated, PDISS, is shown in Equation 7: P DISS (1 ) P SUP (7) In stereo operation, PSUP is twice the quantity that is present in mono operation. The maximum ambient temperature, TA, depends on the heat-sinking ability of the system. θJA for a 20-pin DWP, whose thermal pad is properly soldered down, is shown in the dissipation rating table.

Typical Application Circuit In many applications, the audio source is digital. It must go through a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) so that traditional analog amplifiers can drive the speakers or headphones. Figure 36 shows a complete circuit schematic for such a system. The digital audio is fed into a high performance DAC. The PCM1792, a Burr-Brown product from TI, is a 24-bit, stereo DAC. The output of the PCM1792 is current, not voltage, so the OPA4134 is used to convert the current input to a voltage output. The OPA4134, a Burr-Brown product from TI, is a low-noise, high-speed, high-performance operational amplifier. CF and RF are used to set the cutoff frequency of the filter. The RC combination in Figure 36 has a cutoff frequency of 59 kHz. All four amplifiers of the OPA4134 are used so the TPA6120A2 can be driven differentially. 19 TPA6120A2 SLOS431 – MARCH 2004 www.ti.com The output of the OPA4134 goes into the TPA6120A2. The TPA6120A2 is configured for use with differential inputs, stereo use, and a gain of 2V/V. Note that the 0.1-uF capacitors are placed at every supply pin of the TPA6120A2, as well as the 10-Ω series output resistor. Each output goes to one channel of a pair of stereo headphones, where the listener enjoys crisp, clean, virtually noise free music with a dynamic range greater than the human ear is capable of detecting. 20 PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM www.ti.com 5-Oct-2007 PACKAGING INFORMATION Orderable Device Status (1) Package Type Package Drawing Pins Package Eco Plan (2) Qty TPA6120A2DWP ACTIVE SO Power PAD DWP 20 25 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) CU NIPDAU Level-2-260C-1 YEAR TPA6120A2DWPG4 ACTIVE SO Power PAD DWP 20 25 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) CU NIPDAU Level-2-260C-1 YEAR TPA6120A2DWPR ACTIVE SO Power PAD DWP 20 2000 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) CU NIPDAU Level-2-260C-1 YEAR TPA6120A2DWPRG4 ACTIVE SO Power PAD DWP 20 2000 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) CU NIPDAU Level-2-260C-1 YEAR Lead/Ball Finish MSL Peak Temp (3) (1) The marketing status values are defined as follows: ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
