2W Stereo Class-D Audio Power Amplifier
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Output Power Efficiency
The output transistors of BA20373 act as switches. The amount of power dissipated in the
speaker may be estimated by first considering the overall efficiency of the system. The on-resistance
of the output transistors is considered to cause the dominant loss in the system, the on-resistance of
output transistors is small that the power loss is small and the power efficiency is high. When BA20373
is with 8-ohm load, the power efficiency can be better than 87%.
Shutdown Mode
The BA20373 provides a shutdown mode to reduce supply current to the absolute minimum level
during periods of non-use for battery-power conservation. The SHUTDOWN_B input pin should be
held high during normal operation when the amplifier is in use. Pulling SHUTDOWN_B low causes the
outputs to mute and the amplifier to enter a low-current state. SHUTDOWN_B should never be left
unconnected because the amplifier state would be unpredictable.
Recommend connecting SHUTDOWN_B pin with 100K Ohm To VDD & Connect 1uF To Ground.
Differential Input
The differential input stage of the amplifier cancels any noise that appears on both input lines of
the channel. To use the BA20373 with a differential source, connect the positive lead of the audio
source to the LINP/RINP input and the negative lead from the audio source to the LINN/RINN input. To
use the BA20373 with a single-ended source, ac ground either input through a capacitor and apply the
audio signal to the remaining input. In a single-ended input application, the un-used input should be
ac-grounded at the audio source instead of at the device input for best noise performance.
Single-end stereo input application circuit shows in Figure 1. It’s recommended LINN & RINN
connect 1uF to ground. & Left/Right analog audio signal series connect 1uF to LINP & RINP.

Volume Control
The VOLUME pin controls the volume of the BA20373. It is controlled with a dc voltage, which
should not exceed VDD. Table 1 lists the voltage on the VOLUME pin and the corresponding gain.
The volume control circuitry of the BA20373 is internally referenced to the VDD and 1V. Any

common-mode noise between the VOLUME terminal and these terminals will be sensed by the
volume control circuitry. If the noise exceeds the step size voltage, the gain will change. In order to
minimize this effect, care must be taken to ensure the signal driving the VOLUME terminal is
referenced to the VDD and 1V of the BA20373.
DC volume application circuit shows in Figure 2. It’s recommended to connect 10K VR series to
2.2 K resister to ground or 50K VR series to 11 K resister to ground.

The frequency may be varied from 200 kHz to 300 kHz by adjusting the values chosen for OSC_R
and OSC_C. The recommended values are OSC_C = 220 pF, OSC_R= 120 kΩ for a switching
frequency of 250 kHz.
Over-Heat Protection
Over-Heat protection on the BA20373 prevents damage to the device when the internal die
temperature exceeds 125°C. Once the die temperature exceeds the thermal set point, the device
enters the shutdown state and the outputs are disabled. The device will back to normal operation when
die temperature is reduced without external system interaction.
Output Short Protection
The BA20373 has output short circuit protection circuitry on the outputs that prevents damage to
the device during output-to-output short, output-to-GND short, and output-to-VDD short. BA20373
enters the shutdown state and the outputs are disabled when detects output short. The device will
back to normal operation automatically after 2 ~ 3 minute.
Anti-Pop
A soft start capacitor must be added to the C_BYPASS pin. It recommends connecting a capacitor
of 1uF from C_BYPASS pin to Ground. BA20373 provides fade-in function when power-on or
SHUTDOWN_B input voltage level from 0V to VDD, and fade-out function when SHUTDOWN_B input
voltage level from VDD to 0V. The pop noise can be eliminated by fade-in/fade-out function.
Output Filter Application Note
Design the BA20373 without the filter if the traces from amplifier to speaker are short (< 1 inch).
Where the speaker is in the same enclosure as the amplifier is a typical application for class-D without
a filter.
Many applications require a ferrite bead filter. The ferrite filter reduces EMI around 30 MHz. When
selecting a ferrite bead, choose one with high impedance at high frequencies, but low impedance at
low frequencies.
Use an LC output filter if there are low frequency (<1 MHz) EMI sensitive circuits and/or there are
long wires from the amplifier to the speaker.
