AD EVAL-SSM2335Z

Filterless, High Efficiency,
Mono 3 W Class-D Audio Amplifier
SSM2335
The SSM2335 features a high efficiency, low noise modulation
scheme that requires no external LC output filters. The modulation continues to provide high efficiency even at low output
power. It operates with 93% efficiency at 1.4 W into 8 Ω or 85%
efficiency at 3 W into 3 Ω from a 5.0 V supply and has an SNR
of >96 dB. Spread-spectrum pulse density modulation is used
to provide lower EMI-radiated emissions compared with other
Class-D architectures.

>96 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
Single-supply operation from 2.5 V to 5.5 V
20 nA ultralow shutdown current
Short-circuit and thermal protection
Available in 9-ball, 1.5 mm × 1.5 mm WLCSP
Pop-and-click suppression
Built-in resistors reduce board component count
Default fixed 18 dB or user-adjustable gain setting
The SSM2335 has a micropower shutdown mode with a typical
shutdown current of 20 nA. Shutdown is enabled by applying
a logic low to the SD pin.
The device also includes pop-and-click suppression circuitry.
This suppression circuitry minimizes voltage glitches at the
output during turn-on and turn-off, reducing audible noise
on activation and deactivation.
APPLICATIONS
The fully differential input of the SSM2335 provides excellent
rejection of common-mode noise on the input. Input coupling
capacitors can be omitted if the input dc common-mode voltage
is approximately VDD/2.

The default gain of the SSM2335 is 18 dB, but users can reduce the
gain by using a pair of external resistors (see the Gain section).
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SSM2335 is specified over the industrial temperature range
of −40°C to +85°C. It has built-in thermal shutdown and output
short-circuit protection. It is available in a 9-ball, 1.5 mm ×
1.5 mm wafer level chip scale package (WLCSP).
The SSM2335 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 5.5 V
supply. It is capable of delivering 3 W of continuous output power
with <1% THD + N driving a 3 Ω load from a 5.0 V supply.

THEORY OF OPERATION
OVERVIEW
OUTPUT MODULATION DESCRIPTION
The SSM2335 mono Class-D audio amplifier features a filterless
modulation scheme that greatly reduces the external component
count, conserving board space and, thus, reducing systems cost.
The SSM2335 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. Most Class-D amplifiers
use some variation of pulse-width modulation (PWM), but the
SSM2335 uses Σ-Δ modulation to determine the switching
pattern of the output devices, resulting in a number of important
benefits. Σ-Δ modulators do not produce 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 SSM2335 does not require
external EMI filtering for twisted speaker cable lengths shorter
than 10 cm. Due to the inherent spread-spectrum nature of Σ-Δ
modulation, the need for oscillator synchronization is eliminated
for designs incorporating multiple SSM2335 amplifiers.
The SSM2335 uses three-level, Σ-Δ output modulation. Each
output can swing from GND to VDD and vice versa. Ideally, when
no input signal is present, the output differential voltage is 0 V
because there is no need to generate a pulse. In a real-world
situation, there are always noise sources present.
GAIN
Most of the time, however, output differential voltage is 0 V, due
to the Analog Devices patent pending, three-level, Σ-Δ output
modulation. This feature ensures that the current flowing through
the inductive load is small.
When the user wants to send an input signal, an output pulse is
generated to follow the input voltage. The differential pulse
density is increased by raising the input signal level. Figure 33
depicts three-level, Σ-Δ output modulation with and without
input stimulus.

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 and, therefore, as
not coming from the system input signal. Such transients may
be generated when the amplifier system changes its operating
mode. For example, the following may be sources of audible
transients: system power-up and power-down, mute and unmute,
input source change, and sample rate change. The SSM2335 has
a pop-and-click suppression architecture that reduces these output transients, resulting in noiseless activation and deactivation.

The SSM2335 also offers protection circuits for overcurrent and
temperature protection.
Due to this constant presence of noise, a differential pulse is
generated, when required, in response to this stimulus. A small
amount of current flows into the inductive load when the differential pulse is generated.

LAYOUT
INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
As output power continues to increase, care must be taken to
lay out PCB traces and wires properly among the amplifier,
load, and power supply. A good practice is to use short, wide
PCB tracks to decrease voltage drops and minimize inductance.
Ensure that track widths are 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.
The SSM2335 does 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, or if a single-ended source is used. If highpass filtering is needed at the input, the input capacitor and the
input resistor of the SSM2335 form a high-pass filter whose
corner frequency is determined by the following equation:
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, as well as the PCB traces to
the supply pins, should be as wide as possible to maintain the
minimum trace resistances. It is also recommended that a large
ground plane be used for minimum impedances.
In addition, good PCB layout isolates critical analog paths from
sources of high interference. High frequency circuits (analog
and digital) should be separated from low frequency circuits.
Properly designed multilayer PCBs can reduce EMI emission
and increase immunity to the 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 the ground plane, whereas the
ground plane side of a double-sided board is often disrupted by
signal crossover.
fC = 1/(2π × RIN × CIN)
The input capacitor can significantly affect the performance of
the circuit. Not using input capacitors degrades both the output
offset of the amplifier and the dc PSRR performance.
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, low ESR capacitor, with a minimum value of 4.7 μF.
This capacitor bypasses low frequency noises to the ground
plane. For high frequency transient 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 SSM2335 helps
to maintain efficient performance.
If the system has separate analog and digital ground and power
planes, the analog ground plane should be directly beneath the
analog power plane, and, similarly, the digital ground plane should
be directly beneath the digital power plane. There should be no
overlap between analog and digital ground planes or between
analog and digital power planes.
