The PAM8301 is a 1.5W class-D mono audio
amplifier. Its low THD+N feature offers highquality sound reproduction. The new filterless
architecture allows the device to drive speaker
directly instead of using low-pass output filters,
therefore save system cost and PCB area.
With the same number of external components,
the efficiency of the PAM8301 is much better than
that of class-AB cousins. It can optimize battery
life thus is ideal for portable applications.
The PAM8301 is available in SOT23-6 package.

PAM8301
Filterless Class-D Mono Audio Amplifier
Application Information
Maximum Gain
capacitor is the best choice. When a polarized
capacitor is used, the positive side of the
capacitor should face the amplifier input in most
applications as the DC level is held at VDD/2,
which is likely higher than the source DC level.
Please note that it is important to confirm the
capacitor polarity in the application.
As shown in block diagram (page 2), the PAM8301
has two internal amplifier stages. The first stage's
gain is externally con figurable, while the second
stage's is internally fixed. The closed-loop gain of
the first stage is set by selecting the ratio of R f to
R i while the second stage's gain is fixed at 2x.The
output of amplifier 1 serves as the input to
amplifier 2, thus the two amplifiers produce
signals identical in magnitude, but different in
phase by 180°. Consequently, the differential gain
for the IC is
Power Supply Decoupling (Cs)
The PAM8301 is a high-performance CMOS audio
amplifier that requires adequate power supply
decoupling to ensure the output THD and PSRR
as low as possible. Power supply decoupling
a ff e c t s l o w f r e q u e n c y r e s p o n s e . O p t i m u m
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 1.0μF is good, placing
it as close as possible to the device VDD terminal.
For filtering lower-frequency noise signals, a
capacitor of 10μF or
A VD=20*log [2*(R f/R i)]
The PAM8301 sets maximum R f=80k Ω , minimum
R i=10k Ω , so the maximum closed-gain is 24dB.
Input Capacitors (Ci)
In typical application, an input capacitor, Ci, is
required to allow the amplifier to bias input signals
to a proper DC level for optimum operation. In this
case, Ci and the minimum input impedance Ri
(10k internal) form a high pass filter with a corner
frequency determined by the following equation:
fC =
larger, closely located to near the audio power
amplifier is recommended.

Shutdown Operation
(2p RiCi)
In order to reduce shutdown power consumption,
the PAM8301 contains shutdown circuitry for turn
off the amplifier. This shutdown feature turns the
amplifier off when a logic low is applied on the
SHDOWN pin. By switching the shutdown pin over
to GND, the PAM8301 supply current draw will be
minimized in idle mode.
It is important to choose the value of Ci as it
directly affects low frequency performance of the
circuit, for example, when an application requires
a flat bass response as low as 100Hz. Equation is
reconfigured as follows:
Ci =
1
(2p Rifc )
For the best power on/off pop performance,
the amplifier should be set in the shutdown
mode prior to power on/off operation.
As the input resistance is variable, for the Ci value
of 0.16 μ F, one should actually choose the Ci
within the range of 0.1 μ F to 0.22 μ F. A further
consideration for this capacitor is the leakage
path from the input source through the input
network (Ri, RF, Ci) 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 application. For this
reason, a low leakage tantalum or ceramic
Under Voltage Lock-out (UVLO)
The PAM8301 incorporates circuitry to detect low
on or off voltage. When the supply voltage drops
to 2.1V or below, the PAM8301 goes into a state of
shutdown, and the device comes out of its
shutdown state and starts to normal operation by
reset the power supply or SD pin.

PAM8301
Filterless Class-D Mono Audio Amplifier
How to Reduce EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference)
A simple solution is to put an additional capacitor 1000 μ F at power supply terminal for power line coupling
if the traces from amplifier to speakers are short (<20cm).
Most applications require a ferrite bead filter as shown at Figure 1. The ferrite filter depresses EMI of
around 1MHz and higher. When selecting a ferrite bead, choose one with high impedance at high
frequencies and low impedance at low frequencies.
