HWD2171 3W Audio Power Amplifier with Shutdown Mode General Description Key Specifications The HWD2171 is a mono bridged audio power amplifier capable of delivering 3W of continuous average power into a 3Ω load with less than 10% THD when powered by a 5V power supply (Note 1). To conserve power in portable applications, the HWD2171’s micropower shutdown mode Q(I = 0.6µA, typ) is activated when VDD is applied to the SHUTDOWN pin. audio power amplifiers are designed specifically to provide high power, high fidelity audio output. They require few external components and operate on low supply voltages from 2.0V to 5.5V. Since the HWD2171 does not require output coupling capacitors, bootstrap capacitors, or snubber networks, it is ideally suited for low-power portable systems that require minimum volume and weight. Additional HWD2171 features include thermal shutdown protection, unity-gain stability, and external gain set. n n n n n n PO at 10% THD+N, 1kHz HWD2171LD: 3Ω , 4Ω load 3W (typ), 2.5W (typ) All other HWD2171 packages: 8Ω loa 1.5W (typ) Shutdown current 0.6µA (typ) Supply voltage range 2.0V to 5.5V THD at 1kHz at 1W continuous average output power into 8Ω 0.5% (max) Features n No output coupling capacitors, bootstrap capacitors, or snubber circuits required n Unity-gain stable n LLP, MSOP, SO, or DIP packaging n External gain configuration capability n Pin compatible with the HWD2161 Note 1: An HWD2171LD that has been properly mounted to a circuit board will deliver 3W into 3Ω (at 10% THD).

Therefore, making the power supply traces as wide as possible helps maintain full output voltage swing. Application Information EXPOSED-DAP PACKAGE PCB MOUNTING CONSIDERATION BRIDGE CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION The HWD2171’s exposed-DAP (die attach paddle) package (LD) provides a low thermal resistance between the die and the PCB to which the part is mounted and soldered. This allows rapid heat transfer from the die to the surrounding PCB copper traces, ground plane, and surrounding air. The result is a low voltage audio power amplifier that produces 2W at ≤ 1% THD with a 4Ω load. This high power is achieved through careful consideration of necessary thermal design. Failing to optimize thermal design may compromise the HWD2171’s high power performance and activate unwanted, though necessary, thermal shutdown protection. The LD package must have its DAP soldered to a copper pad on the PCB. The DAP’s PCB copper pad is connected to a large plane of continuous unbroken copper. This plane forms a thermal mass, heat sink, and radiation area. Place the heat sink area on either outside plane in the case of a two-sided PCB, or on an inner layer of a board with more than two layers. Connect the DAP copper pad to the inner layer or backside copper heat sink area with 4(2x2) vias. The via diameter should be 0.012in-0.013in with a 1.27mm pitch. Ensure efficient thermal conductivity by plating through the vias. Best thermal performance is achieved with the largest practical heat sink area. If the heatsink and amplifier share the same PCB layer, a nominal 2.5in2 area is necessary for 5V operation with a 4Ω load. Heatsink areas not placed on the same PCB layer as the HWD2171 should be 5in2 (min) for the same supply voltage and load resistance. The last two area recommendations apply for 25˚C ambient temperature. Increase the area to compensate for ambient temperatures above 25˚C. The HWD2171’s power de-rating curve in the Typical Performance Characteristics shows the maximum power dissipation versus temperature. An example PCB layout for the LD package is shown in the Demonstration Board Layout section. Further detailed and specific information concerning PCB layout, fabrication, and mounting an LD (LLP) package is available from National Semiconductor’s Package Engineering Group under application note AN1187. As shown in Figure 1, the HWD2171 has two operational amplifiers internally, allowing for a few different amplifier configurations. The first amplifier’s gain is externally configurable; the second amplifier is internally fixed in a unity-gain, inverting configuration. The closed-loop gain of the first amplifier is set by selecting the ratio of Rf to Ri while the second amplifier’s gain is fixed by the two internal 40kΩ resistors. Figure 1 shows that the output of amplifier one serves as the input to amplifier two, which results in both amplifiers producing signals identical in magnitude, but 180˚ out of phase. Consequently, the differential gain for the IC is AVD= 2 *(Rf/Ri) By driving the load differentially through outputs Vo1 and Vo2, an amplifier configuration commonly referred to as “bridged mode” is established. Bridged mode operation is different from the classical single-ended amplifier configuration where one side of its load is connected to ground. A bridge amplifier design has a few distinct advantages over the single-ended configuration, as it provides differential drive to the load, thus doubling output swing for a specified supply voltage. Four times the output power is possible as compared to a single-ended amplifier under the same conditions. This increase in attainable output power assumes that the amplifier is not current limited or clipped. In order to choose an amplifier’s closed-loop gain without causing excessive clipping, please refer to the Audio Power Amplifier Design section. Another advantage of the differential bridge output is no net DC voltage across load. This results from biasing VO1 and VO2 at the same DC voltage, in this case VDD/2 . This eliminates the coupling capacitor that single supply, singleended amplifiers require. Eliminating an output coupling capacitor in a single-ended configuration forces a single supply amplifier’s half-supply bias voltage across the load. The current flow created by the half-supply bias voltage increases internal IC power dissipation and my permanently damage loads such as speakers. POWER DISSIPATION Power dissipation is a major concern when designing a successful amplifier, whether the amplifier is bridged or single-ended. A direct consequence of the increased power delivered to the load by a bridge amplifier is an increase in internal power dissipation. Equation 1 states the maximum power dissipation point for a bridge amplifier operating at a given supply voltage and driving a specified output load. PDMAX = 4*(VDD)2/(2π2RL) (1) PCB LAYOUT AND SUPPLY REGULATION CONSIDERATIONS FOR DRIVING 3Ω AND 4Ω LOADS Power dissipated by a load is a function of the voltage swing across the load and the load’s impedance. As load impedance decreases, load dissipation becomes increasingly dependant on the interconnect (PCB trace and wire) resistance between the amplifier output pins and the load’s connections. Residual trace resistance causes a voltage drop, which results in power dissipated in the trace and not in the load as desired. For example, 0.1Ω trace resistance reduces the output power dissipated by a 4Ω load from 2.0W to 1.95W. This problem of decreased load dissipation is exacerbated as load impedance decreases. Therefore, to maintain the highest load dissipation and widest output voltage swing, PCB traces that connect the output pins to a load must be as wide as possible. Poor power supply regulation adversely affects maximum output power. A poorly regulated supply’s output voltage decreases with increasing load current. Reduced supply voltage causes decreased headroom, output signal clipping, and reduced output power. Even with tightly regulated supplies, trace resistance creates the same effects as poor Since the HWD2171 has two operational amplifiers in one package, the maximum internal power dissipation is 4 times that of a single-ended ampifier. Even with this substantial increase in power dissipation, the HWD2171 does not require heatsinking under most operating conditions and output loading. From Equation 1, assuming a 5V power supply and an 8Ω load, the maximum power dissipation point is 625 mW. The maximum power dissipation point obtained from Equation 1 must not be greater than the power dissipation that results from Equation 2: PDMAX = (TJMAX–TA)/θJA (2) For the SO package, θJA = 140˚C/W, for the DIP package, θJA = 107˚C/W, and for the MSOP package, θJA = 210˚C/W 6 Application Information current may be greater than the typical value of 0.6µA. In either case, the shutdown pin should be tied to a definite voltage to avoid unwanted state changes. (Continued) assuming free air operation. For the LD package soldered to a DAP pad that expands to a copper area of 1.0in2 on a PCB, the HWD2171’sJAθ is 56˚C/W. TJMAX = 150˚C for the HWD2171. TheJAθ can be decreased by using some form of heat sinking. The resultant θJA will be the summation of the θJC, θCS, and θSA. θJC is the junction to case of the package (or to the exposed DAP, as is the case with the LD package), θCS is the case to heat sink thermal resistance and θSA is the heat sink to ambient thermal resistance. By adding additional copper area around the HWD2171, the JAθ can be reduced from its free air value for the SO and MSOP packages. Increasing the copper area around the LD package from 1.0in2 to 2.0in2 area results in a θJA decrease to 46˚C/W. Depending on the ambient temperature, TA, and the θJA, Equation 2 can be used to find the maximum internal power dissipation supported by the IC packaging. If the result of Equation 1 is greater than that of Equation 2, then either the supply voltage must be decreased, the load impedance increased, the θJA decreased, or the ambient temperature reduced. For the typical application of a 5V power supply, with an 8Ω load, and no additional heatsinking, the maximum ambient temperature possible without violating the maximum junction temperature is approximately 61˚C provided that device operation is around the maximum power dissipation point and assuming surface mount packaging. For the LD package in a typical application of a 5V power supply, with a 4Ω load, and 1.0in2 copper area soldered to the exposed DAP pad, the maximum ambient temperature is approximately 77˚C providing device operation is around the maximum power dissipation point. Internal power dissipation is a function of output power. If typical operation is not around the maximum power dissipation point, the ambient temperature can be increased. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics curves for power dissipation information for different output powers and output loading. In many applications, a microcontroller or microprocessor output is used to control the shutdown circuitry which provides a quick, smooth transition into shutdown. Another solution is to use a single-pole, single-throw switch in conjunction with an external pull-up resistor. When the switch is closed, the shutdown pin is connected to ground and enables the amplifier. If the switch is open, then the external pull-up resistor will disable the HWD2171. This scheme guarantees that the shutdown pin will not float thus preventing unwanted state changes. PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS Proper selection of external components in applications using integrated power amplifiers is critical to optimize device and system performance. While the HWD2171 is tolerant of external component combinations, consideration to component values must be used to maximize overall system quality. The HWD2171 is unity-gain stable which gives a designer maximum system flexibility. The HWD2171 should be used in low gain configurations to minimize THD+N values, and maximize the signal to noise ratio. Low gain configurations require large input signals to obtain a given output power. Input signals equal to or greater than 1 Vrms are available from sources such as audio codecs. Please refer to the section, Audio Power Amplifier Design, for a more complete explanation of proper gain selection. Besides gain, one of the major considerations is the closedloop bandwidth of the amplifier. To a large extent, the bandwidth is dictated by the choice of external components shown in Figure 1. The input coupling capacitor, Ci, forms a first order high pass filter which limits low frequency response. This value should be chosen based on needed frequency response for a few distinct reasons. POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING As with any amplifier, proper supply bypassing is critical for low noise performance and high power supply rejection. The capacitor location on both the bypass and power supply pins should be as close to the HWD2171 as possible. The capacitor connected between the bypass pin and ground improves the internal bias voltage’s stability, producing improved PSRR. The improvements to PSRR increase as the bypass pin capacitor increases. Typical applications employ a 5V regulator with 10µF and a 0.1µF bypass capacitors which aid in supply stability. This does not eliminate the need for bypassing the supply nodes of the HWD2171 with a 1µF tantalum capacitor. The selection of bypass capacitors, especially CB, is dependent upon PSRR requirements, click and pop performance as explained in the section, Proper Selection of External Components, system cost, and size constraints. Selection Of Input Capacitor Size Large input capacitors are both expensive and space hungry for portable designs. Clearly, a certain sized capacitor is needed to couple in low frequencies without severe attenuation. But in many cases the speakers used in portable systems, whether internal or external, have little ability to reproduce signals below 100Hz to 150Hz. Thus, using a large input capacitor may not increase actual system performance. In addition to system cost and size, click and pop performance is effected by the size of the input coupling capacitor, Ci. A larger input coupling capacitor requires more charge to reach its quiescent DC voltage (nominally 1/2 VDD). This charge comes from the output via the feedback and is apt to create pops upon device enable. Thus, by minimizing the capacitor size based on necessary low frequency response, turn-on pops can be minimized. Besides minimizing the input capacitor size, careful consideration should be paid to the bypass capacitor value. Bypass capacitor, CB, is the most critical component to minimize turn-on pops since it determines how fast the HWD2171 turns on. The slower the HWD2171’s outputs ramp to their quiescent DC voltage (nominally 1/2 VDD), the smaller the turn-on pop. Choosing CB equal to 1.0µF along with a small value of Ci (in the range of 0.1µF to 0.39µF), should produce a virtually clickless and popless shutdown function. While the device will function properly, (no oscillations or motorboating), with CB equal to 0.1µF, the device will be much more susceptible SHUTDOWN FUNCTION In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, the HWD2171 contains a shutdown pin to externally turn off the amplifier’s bias circuitry. This shutdown feature turns the amplifier off when a logic high is placed on the shutdown pin. The trigger point between a logic low and logic high level is typically half- supply. It is best to switch between ground and supply to provide maximum device performance. By switching the shutdown pin to VDD, the HWD2171 supply current draw will be minimized in idle mode. While the device will be disabled with shutdown pin voltages less then VDD, the idle 7 Application Information design an amplifier with a higher differential gain, the HWD2171 can still be used without running into bandwidth limitations. (Continued) to turn-on clicks and pops. Thus, a value of CB equal to 1.0µF is recommended in all but the most cost sensitive designs. AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER DESIGN Design a 1W/8Ω Audio Amplifier Given: Power Output Load Impedance Input Level Input Impedance 1 Wrms 8Ω 1 Vrms 20 kΩ Bandwidth 100 Hz–20 kHz ± 0.25 dB A designer must first determine the minimum supply rail to obtain the specified output power. By extrapolating from the Output Power vs Supply Voltage graphs in the Typical Performance Characteristics section, the supply rail can be easily found. A second way to determine the minimum supply rail is to calculate the required Vopeak using Equation 3 and add the output voltage. Using this method, the minimum supply voltage would be (Vopeak + (VODTOP + VODBOT)), where VODBOT and VODTOP are extrapolated from the Dropout Voltage vs Supply Voltage curve in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. (3) Using the Output Power vs Supply Voltage graph for an 8Ω load, the minimum supply rail is 4.6V. But since 5V is a standard voltage in most applications, it is chosen for the supply rail. Extra supply voltage creates headroom that allows the HWD2171 to reproduce peaks in excess of 1W without producing audible distortion. At this time, the designer must make sure that the power supply choice along with the output impedance does not violate the conditions explained in the Power Dissipation section. Once the power dissipation equations have been addressed, the required differential gain can be determined from Equation 4. (4) Rf/Ri = AVD/2 (5) From Equation 4, the minimum AVD is 2.83; use AVD = 3. Since the desired input impedance was 20kΩ, and with a AVD impedance of 2, a ratio of 1.5:1 of Rf to Ri results in an allocation of Ri = 20kΩ and Rf = 30kΩ. The final design step is to address the bandwidth requirements which must be stated as a pair of −3dB frequency points. Five times away from a −3dB point is 0.17dB down from passband response which is better than the required ± 0.25dB specified. fL = 100Hz/5 = 20Hz fH = 20kHz * 5 = 100kHz As stated in the External Components section, Ri in conjunction with Ci create a highpass filter. Ci ≥ 1/(2π*20kΩ*20Hz) = 0.397µF; use 0.39µF The high frequency pole is determined by the product of the desired frequency pole, fH, and the differential gain, AVD. With a AVD = 3 and fH = 100kHz, the resulting GBWP = 150kHz which is much smaller than the HWD2171 GBWP of 4MHz.
