The PT5301 is an audio power amplifier mainly
designed for applications in mobile phones and other
portable communication device applications. It is
capable of delivering 1.25 watts of continuous average
power to an 8Ω load and 2 watts of continuous average
power to a 4Ω load with less than 1% distortion
(THD+N) from a 5V power supply. The PT5301 does
not require output coupling capacitors or bootstrap
capacitors, and therefore is ideally suited for mobile
phone and other low voltage applications where
minimal power consumption is a primary requirement.
The PT5301 features a low-power shutdown mode and
improved pop & click circuitry that attenuates noise
which would otherwise occur during turn on and turn
off transactions. The PT5301 is delivered with
miniature MSOP-8, DFN-8 and SMD-9 packages (Pd
free).

Note 5: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJMAX, θJA,
and the ambient temperature TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation is PDMAX = (TJMAX–TA)/θJA or the
number given in Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. For the PT5301, see power derating curves for
additional information.
Note 6: Maximum power dissipation in the device (PDMAX) occurs at an output power level significantly below
full output power. PDMAX can be calculated using Equation 1 shown in the Application Information section. It
may also be obtained from the power dissipation graphs.

2 Watts Audio Power Amplifier
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Bridge Configuration Explanation
As shown in Figure1, the PT5301 has two internal
operational amplifiers. The first amplifier’s gain is
externally configurable, while 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 20kΩ
resistors. Figure1shows that the output of amplifier one
serves as the input to amplifier two which results in
both amplifiers producing signals identical in
magnitude, but out of phase by 180˚. 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 the 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.
A bridge configuration, such as the one used in PT5301,
also creates a second advantage over single-ended
amplifiers. Since the differential outputs, Vo1 and Vo2,
are biased at half-supply, no net DC voltage exists
across the load. This eliminates the need for an output
coupling capacitor which is required in a single supply,
single-ended amplifier configuration. Without an output
coupling capacitor, the half-supply bias across the load
would result in both increased internal IC power
dissipation and also possible loudspeaker damage.
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. Since the
PT5301 has two operational amplifiers in one package,
China Resources Powtech (Shanghai) Limited
PT5301_DS Rev EN_1.3
the maximum internal power dissipation is 4 times that
of a single-ended amplifier. The maximum power
dissipation for a given application can be derived from
the power dissipation graphs or from Equation 1.
2
2
PDMAX = 4*(VDD) /(2π RL)
(1)
It is critical that the maximum junction temperature
TJMAX of 150˚C is not exceeded. TJMAX can be
determined from the power derating curves by using
PDMAX and the PC board foil area. By adding copper foil,
the thermal resistance of the application can be reduced
from the free air value of θJA, resulting in higher PDMAX
values without thermal shutdown protection circuitry
being activated. Additional copper foil can be added to
any of the leads connected to the PT5301. It is
especially effective when connected to VDD, GND, and
the output pins. If TJMAX still exceeds 150˚C, then
additional changes must be made. These changes can
include reduced supply voltage, higher load impedance,
or reduced ambient temperature. Internal power
dissipation is a function of output power. Refer to the
Typical Performance Characteristics curves for
power dissipation information for different output
powers and output loading.
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
device as possible. Typical applications employ a 5V
regulator with 10µF tantalum or electrolytic capacitor
and a ceramic bypass capacitor which aid in supply
stability. This does not eliminate the need for bypassing
the supply nodes of the PT5301. The selection of a
bypass capacitor, 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.
Shutdown Function
In order to reduce power consumption while not in use,
the PT5301 contains shutdown circuitry that is used to
turn off the amplifier’s bias circuitry whenever the
Shutdown pin is put at logical “low”. While the device
may be disabled with shutdown voltages in between
ground and supply, the idle current may be greater than
the typical value of 0.1µA. Therefore, the shutdown pin
should be tied to a definite voltage to avoid unwanted
state changes.
In
many
applications,
WWW.CRPOWTECH.COM
a
microcontroller
or
Page10
PT5301
2 Watts Audio Power Amplifier
microprocessor output is used to control the shutdown
circuitry, which provides a quick, smooth transition to
shutdown. Another solution is to use a single-throw
switch in conjunction with an external pull-up resistor
(or pull-down, depending on shutdown high or low
application). 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 PT5301 is
tolerant of external component combinations,
consideration to component values must be used to
maximize overall system quality.
The PT5301 is unity-gain stable which gives the
designer maximum system flexibility. The PT5301
should be used in low gain configurations to minimize
THD+N+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 1Vrms 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
closed loop bandwidth of the amplifier. To a large
extent, the bandwidth is dictated by the choice of
external components shown in Figure1. 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.
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, i. 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 PT5301 turns on. The slower
the PT5301’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 pop & click free 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 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.

5V is a standard voltage in most applications, it is
chosen for the supply rail. Extra supply voltage creates
headroom that allows the PT5301 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 2.
AVD =
(PO PL ) /(VIN ) = Vorms / Vinrms
(2)
RF / Ri = AVD / 2
From Equation 2, the minimum AVD is 2.83; use AVD
=3. Since the desired input impedance was 20kΩ, and
with an 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.

The PT5301 is unity gain stable and requires no
external components besides gain-setting resistors, an
input coupling capacitor, and proper supply bypass in
the typical application. However, if a closed-loop gain
is much greater than the normal setting value (i.e. gain
= 10), a feedback capacitor (C4) may be required as
shown in Figure 2. to limit the bandwidth of the
amplifier. The feedback capacitor creates a low pass
filter that eliminates the possible high frequency
oscillations. Be aware that an possible inadequate
combination of R3 and C4 will cause roll-off before
20kHz. A typical combination is R3 = 20kΩ and C4 =
25pf. Users could refer this combination when design a
high gain audio amplifier.
As mentioned in the External Components section, Ri
in conjunction with Ci create a high-pass 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 an AVD = 3 and fH = 100kHz, the
resulting GBWP = 300kHz which is much smaller than
the PT5301 GBWP of 2.0MHz. This figure displays
that if a designer has a need to design an amplifier with
a higher differential gain, the PT5301 can still be used
without running into bandwidth limitations.

Thermal Considerations for Driving 4ΩLoad
When driving 4Ω load, the internal power dissipation of
the PT5301 must be carefully considerated. Failing to
optimize thermal design may compromise the PT5301’s
high power performance and activate unwanted, though
necessary, thermal protection. In all circumstances and
conditions, the junction temperature must be held
below 150°C to prevent activating the PT5301’s
thermal protection. The maximum allowable power
dissipation is limited by thermal resistance of the
package. When the supply voltage is higher than 4V,
the PT5301’s MSOP or SMD package isn’t
recommended to drive 4Ω load.
The PT5301’s exposed-PAD QFN package 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, finally, 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. The QFN
package must have its exposed-PAD soldered to a
copper pad on the PCB. The exposed-PAD’s PCB
copper pad is connected to a large plane of continuous
unbroken copper. This plane forms a thermal mass and
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 exposed-PAD’s copper pad to the inner
layer or backside copper heat sink area with several
vias. Ensure efficient thermal conductivity by plating
through and solder-filling the vias. Best thermal

PCB Layout and Supply Regulation Considerations
for Driving 4ΩLoad
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 dependent 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 1.9W. 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 supply regulation. Therefore,
making the power supply traces as wide as possible
helps maintain full output voltage swing
