TA2021B – 3.0/04.03
Tri path Technol og y, I nc. - Techni cal I nformati on
Application Information
Circuit Board Layout
The TA2021B is a power amplifier which operates at relatively high switching frequencies. The
outputs of the amplifier switch between VDD and PGND at frequencies as high as 1MHz while
driving high currents. This high-frequency digital signal is passed through an LC low-pass filter to
recover the amplified audio signal. Because the TA2021B drives the inductive LC output filters
and speaker load, the amplifier outputs can be pulled above VDD and below PGND by the stored
energy in the output inductance. To avoid subjecting the TA2021B to potentially damaging
voltage stress, it is critical to have a good printed circuit board layout to minimize parasitic effects
caused by excessive trace inductance/capacitance. It is recommended that Tripath’s layout and
application circuit be used as closely as possible for all applications and only be deviated from
after careful analysis of the effects of any changes.
Output Stage layout Considerations and Component Selection Criteria
Proper PCB layout and component selection is a major step in designing a reliable TA2021B
power amplifier. The supply pins require proper decoupling with correctly chosen components to
achieve optimal reliability. The output pins need proper protection to keep the outputs from going
below ground and above VDD.
The above layout shows component placement and routing for channel 1 (the same design
criteria applies to channel 2). This shows that C3, a 0.1uF surface mount 0805 capacitor, should
be the first component placed and must decouple VDD1 (pins 29 and 30) directly to PGND1
(pin35). C2, a low ESR, electrolytic capacitor, should also decouple VDD1 directly to PGND1.
Both C2 and C3 may decouple VDD1 to a ground plane, but it is critical that the return path to the
PGND1 pin of the TA2021B, whether it is a ground plane or a trace, be a short and direct low
impedance path. Effectively decoupling VDD will shunt any power supply trace length inductance.
The diodes and inductors shown are for channel 1’s outputs. D1, D3, and L2 connect to the
OUTP1 pin and D2, D4, and L3 connect to the OUTM1 pin of the TA2021B. Each output must
have Schottky or Ultra Fast Recovery diodes placed near the TA2021B, preferably immediately
8
TA2021B – 3.0/04.03
Tri path Technol og y, I nc. - Techni cal I nformati on
after the decoupling capacitors and use short returns to PGND1. These low side diodes, D1 and
D2, will prevent the outputs from going below ground. To be optimally effective they must have a
short and direct return path to its proper ground pin (PGND1) of the TA2021B. This can be
achieved with a ground plane or a trace. Additionally, each channel must use Schottky or Ultra
Fast Recovery diodes with short returns to VDD if the supply voltage exceeds 13.5V. These high
side diodes, D3 and D4, will prevent the outputs from going above VDD. To be optimally effective
they must have a short and direct return path to its proper VDD pin (VDD1) of the TA2021B. This
can be achieved with a ground plane or a trace.
The output inductors, L2 and L3, should be placed close to the TA2021B without compromising
the locations of the closely placed supply decoupling capacitors and output diodes. The purpose
of placing the output inductors close to the TA2021B output pins is to reduce the trace length of
the switching outputs. This will aid in reducing radiated emissions.
Please see the External Component Description section on page 6 for more details on the abovementioned components. The Application/ Test Circuit refers to the low side diodes as DO, The
high side diodes as DH, and both supply decoupling capacitors as CSW.
TA2021B Amplifier Gain
The gain of the TA2021B is set by the ratio of two external resistors, RI and RF, and is given by
the following formula:
VO
R
= − 12 F
VI
RI
where VI is the input signal level and VO is the differential output signal level across the speaker.
Please note that OUTP1 and OUTP2 are 180° out of phase with their corresponding input
signals.
20 watts of RMS output power results from an 8.944 Vrms signal across a four-ohm speaker load.
If RF = RI, then 20 Watts will be achieved with 0.745 Vrms of input signal.
8.944 VRMS = (R L ∗ PO ) = ( 4Ω ∗ 20 W )
Protection Circuits
The TA2021B is guarded against over-temperature and over-current conditions. When the
device goes into an over-temperature or over-current state, the FAULT pin goes to a logic HIGH
state indicating a fault condition. When this occurs, the amplifier is muted, all outputs are TRISTATED, and will float to 1/2 of VDD.
Over-temperature Protection
An over-temperature fault occurs if the junction temperature of the part exceeds approximately
155°C. The thermal hysteresis of the part is approximately 45°C, therefore the fault will
automatically clear when the junction temperature drops below 110°C.
Over-current Protection
An over-current fault occurs if more than approximately 7 amps of current flows from any of the
amplifier output pins. This can occur if the speaker wires are shorted together or if one side of
the speaker is shorted to ground. An over-current fault sets an internal latch that can only be
cleared if the MUTE pin is toggled or if the part is powered down. Alternately, if the MUTE pin is
9
TA2021B – 3.0/04.03
Tri path Technol og y, I nc. - Techni cal I nformati on
connected to the FAULT pin, the HIGH output of the FAULT pin will toggle the MUTE pin and
automatically reset the fault condition.
Overload (Output Active Low)
The OVERLOADB pin is a 5V logic active-low output. When low, it indicates that the level of the
input signal has overloaded the amplifier resulting in increased distortion at the output. The
OVERLOADB signal can be used to control a distortion indicator light or LED through a simple
buffer circuit.
Sleep Pin (Input Active High)
The SLEEP pin is a 5V logic input that, when pulled high (>3.5V), puts the part into a low
quiescent current mode. This pin is internally clamped by a zener diode to approximately 6V thus
allowing the pin to be pulled up through a large valued resistor (1MΩ recommended, 100KΩ
minimum) to VDD. To disable SLEEP mode, the sleep pin should be grounded.
Fault Pin (Output Active High)
The FAULT pin is a 5V logic output that indicates various fault conditions within the device.
These conditions include: low supply voltage, low charge pump voltage, low 5V regulator voltage,
over current at any output, and junction temperature greater than approximately 155°C. The
FAULT output is capable of directly driving an LED through a series 2KΩ resistor. If the FAULT
pin is connected directly to the MUTE input an automatic reset will occur in the event of an overcurrent condition.
Performance Measurements of the TA2021B
The TA2021B operates by generating a high frequency switching signal based on the audio input.
This signal is sent through an external low-pass filter that recovers an amplified version of the
audio input. The frequency of the switching pattern is spread spectrum in nature and typically
varies between 100kHz and 1MHz (which is well above the 20Hz – 20kHz audio band). The
pattern itself does not alter or distort the audio input signal, but it does introduce some inaudible
components.
The measurements of certain performance parameters, particularly noise related specifications
such as THD+N, are significantly affected by the design of the low-pass filter used on the output
as well as the bandwidth setting of the measurement instrument used. Unless the filter has a
very sharp roll-off just beyond the audio band or the bandwidth of the measurement instrument is
limited, some of the inaudible noise components introduced by the TA2021B amplifier switching
pattern will degrade the measurement.
One feature of the TA2021B is that it does not require large multi-pole filters to achieve excellent
performance in listening tests, usually a more critical factor than performance measurements.
Though using a multi-pole filter may remove high-frequency noise and improve THD+N type
measurements (when they are made with wide-bandwidth measuring equipment), these same
filters degrade frequency response. The TA2021B Evaluation Board uses the Application/Test
Circuit of this data sheet, which has a simple two-pole output filter and excellent performance in
listening tests. Measurements in this data sheet were taken using this same circuit with a limited
bandwidth setting in the measurement instrument.
