The SHUTDOWN input terminal should be held high during normal operation when the amplifier is in use. Pulling SHUTDOWN low causes the outputs to mute and the amplifier to enter a low-current state, IDD=150µA. SHUTDOWN should never be left unconnected because amplifier operation would be unpredictable. The value of Ci is important to consider as it directly affects the bass (low frequency) performance of the circuit. Consider the example where Zi is 70kΩ and the specification calls for a flat bass response down to 40Hz. Equation 2 is reconfigured as equation 2. Ci = Gain Setting via GAIN0 and GAIN1 Inputs The gain of the EUA6027A is set by two input terminals, GAIN0 and GAIN1. Table 1 .Gain Settings GAIN0 GAIN1 AV(inv) Input Impedance 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 6dB 10dB 15.6dB 21.6dB 90kΩ 70kΩ 45kΩ 25kΩ i In this example, Ci is 56nF so one would likely choose a value in the range of 56nF to 1µF. A further consideration for this capacitor is the leakage path from the input source through the input network (Ci) and the feedback network to the load. This leakage current creates a dc offset voltage at the input to the amplifier that reduces useful headroom, especially in high gain applications. For this reason, a lowleakage tantalum or ceramic capacitor is the best choice. 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 VDD/2, which is likely higher than the source dc level. Note that it is important to confirm the capacitor polarity in the application. The gains listed in Table 1 are realized by changing the taps on the input resistors inside the amplifier. This causes the input impedance, ZI, to be dependent on the gain setting. The actual gain settings are controlled by ratios of resistors, so the actual gain distribution from part-to-part is quite good. However, the input impedance will shift by 30% due to shifts in the actual resistance of the input impedance. For design purposes, the input network (discussed in the next section) should be designed assuming an input impedance of 10 kΩ, which is the absolute minimum input impedance of the EUA6027A. At the higher gain settings, the input impedance could increase to as high as 115 kΩ. The typical input impedance at each gain setting is given in Table 1. Input Capacitor, Ci In the typical application an input capacitor, Ci, is required to allow the amplifier to bias the input signal to the proper dc level for optimum operation. In this case, Ci and the input impedance of the amplifier, Zi, form a high-pass filter with the corner frequency determined in equation 1. fc(highpass)= 1 -----------------(1) 2 π Zi Ci DS6027A Ver 1.1 June 2008 1 ----------------------------(2 ) 2 π Z fC 11 Power Supply Decoupling, (CS) The EUA6027A is a high-performance CMOS 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 that target different types of noise on the power supply leads. For higher frequency transients, spikes, or digital hash on the line, a good low equivalent-series-resistance (ESR) ceramic capacitor, typically 0.1µF placed as close as possible to the device VDD lead, works best. For filtering lower-frequency noise signals, a larger aluminum electrolytic capacitor of 10µF or greater placed near the audio power amplifier is recommended. EUA6027A In a typical computer sound channel operating at 5V, bridging raises the power into an 8-Ω speaker from a singled-ended (SE, ground reference) limit of 250 mW to 1W. In sound power that is a 6-dB improvement, which is loudness that can be heard. In addition to increased power there are frequency response concerns. Consider the single-supply SE configuration shown in Figure 30. A coupling capacitor is required to block the dc offset voltage from reaching the load. These capacitors can be quite large (approximately 33µF to 1000µF) so they tend to be expensive, heavy, occupy valuable PCB area, and have the additional drawback of limiting low-frequency performance of the system. This frequency limiting effect is due to the high pass filter network created with the speaker impedance and the coupling capacitance and is calculated with equation 4. Midrail Bypass Capacitor, (CBYP) The midrail bypass capacitor, CBYP, the most critical capacitor and serves several important functions. During start-up or recovery from shutdown mode, CBYP determines the rate at which the amplifier starts up. The second function is to reduce noise produced by the power supply caused by coupling into the output drive signal. This noise is from the midrail generation circuit internal to the amplifier, which appears as degraded PSRR and THD+N. Bypass capacitor, CBYP, values of 0.47µF to 1µF ceramic or tantalum low-ESR capacitors are recommended for the best THD and noise performance. 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 this 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. fC = = VO(PP) Power 2 2 = V(rms) 2 ----------------------------------(4) Figure 30. Single-Ended configuration and Frequency Response Increasing power to the load does carry a penalty of increased internal power dissipation. The increased dissipation is understandable considering that the BTL configuration produces 4 × the output power of the SE configuration. Internal dissipation versus output power is discussed further in the crest factor and thermal considerations section. ------(3) RL Figure 29.Bridge-Tied Load configuration DS6027A Ver 1.1 June 2008 2 π R LCC For example, a 68µF capacitor with an 8-Ω speaker would attenuate low frequencies below 293 Hz. The BTL configuration cancels the dc offsets, which eliminates the need for the blocking capacitors. Low-frequency performance is then limited only by the input network and speaker response. Cost and PCB space are also minimized by eliminating the bulky coupling capacitor. Bridged-Tied Load Versus Single-Ended Mode Figure 29 show a Class-AB audio power amplifier (APA) in a BTL configuration. The EUA6027A BTL amplifier consists of two Class-AB amplifiers driving both ends of the load. There are several potential benefits to this differential drive configuration, but initially consider power to the load. The differential drive to the speaker means that as one side is slewing up, the other side is slewing down, and vice versa. This in effect doubles the voltage swing on the load as compared to a ground referenced load. Plugging 2×VO(PP) into the power equation, where voltage is squared, yields 4× the output power from the same supply rail and load impedance(see equation 3) V(rms) 1 12 EUA6027A Thermal Pad Considerations The thermal pad must be connected to ground. The package with thermal pad of the EUA6027A requires special attention on thermal design. If the thermal design issues are not properly addressed, the EUA6027A will go into thermal shutdown when driving a heavy load. The thermal pad on the bottom of the EUA6027A should be soldered down to a copper pad on the circuit board. Heat can be conducted away from the thermal pad through the copper plane to ambient. If the copper plane is not on the top surface of the circuit board, 8 to 10 vias of 13 mil or smaller in diameter should be used to thermally couple the thermal pad to the bottom plane. For good thermal conduction, the vias must be plated through and solder filled. The copper plane used to conduct heat away from the thermal pad should be as large as practical. If the ambient temperature is higher than 25℃,a larger copper plane or forced-air cooling will be required to keep the EUA6027A junction temperature below the thermal shutdown temperature (150℃). In higher ambient temperature, higher airflow rate and/or larger copper area will be required to keep the IC out of thermal shutdown.
