TFA9881
3.4 W PDM input class-D audio amplifier
Rev. 1 — 5 January 2011
Preliminary data sheet
1. General description
The TFA9881 is a mono, filter-free class-D audio amplifier in a 9-bump WLCSP (Wafer
Level Chip-Size Package) with a 400 m pitch.
The digital input interface is an over-sampled Pulse Density Modulated (PDM) bit stream.
The TFA9881 receives audio and control settings via this interface. Dedicated silence
patterns are used to configure the control settings of the device, such as mute, gain, Pulse
Width Modulated (PWM) output slope, clip control and bandwidth extension (this control
mechanism is not required if the default settings are used). The Power-down to Operating
mode transition is triggered when a clock signal is detected.
The device features low RF susceptibility because it has a digital input interface that is
insensitive to clock jitter. The second order closed loop architecture used in the TFA9881
provides excellent audio performance and high supply voltage ripple rejection.

8. Functional description
The TFA9881 is a high-efficiency mono Bridge Tied Load (BTL) class-D audio amplifier
with a digital stereo PDM input interface. A High-Pass (HP) filter removes the DC
components from the incoming PDM stream. This stream is subsequently converted into
two PWM signals. A 3-level PWM scheme supports filterless speaker drive.
8.1 Mode selection and interfacing
The TFA9881 supports four operating modes:
• Power-down mode, with low supply current
• Mute mode, in which the output stages are floating so that the audio input signal is
suppressed
• Operating mode, in which the amplifier is fully operational, delivering an output signal
• Fault mode
The TFA9881 switches to Fault mode automatically when a protection mechanism is
activated (see Section 8.6). The defined patterns required on the CLK and DATA inputs to
select the other three modes are given in Table 4.
Power-down mode is selected when there is no clock signal on the CLK input. Applying
the clock signal will cause the TFA9881 to switch from Power-down mode to Operating
mode. Power-down mode is also activated when the power-down silence pattern (at least
128 consecutive 0xAC bytes) is detected on the DATA input (see Section 8.4.1). The
TFA9881 will switch to Power-down mode after byte 128 and will remain in Power-down
mode as long as a continuous stream of consecutive 0xAC bytes is being received. It will
switch to Operating mode if a byte other than 0xAC is received.
Mute mode is activated when the mute silence pattern (at least 32 consecutive 0x66
bytes) is detected on the DATA input. The TFA9881 will switch to Mute mode after byte 32
and will remain in Mute mode until a byte other than 0x66 is received.

8.4 Control settings
Control settings are not needed if the default values are adequate.
8.4.1 Silence pattern recognition
The TFA9881 can detect control settings on the PDM input by means of silence pattern
recognition. A silence pattern has the following properties:
• All audio bytes have the same value
• Each audio byte must contain four zeros and four ones
The ten silence patterns recognized by the TFA9881 are listed in the first column of
Table 7. The second column contains the related audio bytes that are generated when the
silence patterns are phase shifted by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 bits.
The TFA9881 reacts as follows on receiving a silence pattern (see Table 8):
• After receiving 32 consecutive silence pattern audio bytes, the TFA9881 sets the
outputs floating.
• After receiving 128 consecutive silence pattern audio bytes, the TFA9881 activates
the appropriate control setting (see column three of Table 7).
Remark: Only the control settings associated with silence patterns containing audio bytes
0xD2, 0xD4, 0xD8, 0xE1, 0xE2, 0xE4 and 0xAA can be set during power-up (before the
power-up delay time, td(on), has expired). After power-up, only silence patterns containing
bytes 0x66 and 0xAC will be recognized. All other silence patterns are ignored.
All control settings can be activated when:
• control silence patterns are transmitted after the TFA9881 has been switched to
Power-down mode on receipt of a power-down silence pattern (at least 128
consecutive 0xAC bytes)
• control silence patterns are transmitted after the clock input has stopped and then
started again (power-up)
If a silence pattern containing more than 128 consecutive silence pattern audio bytes is
received during power-up, the TFA9881 outputs will remain floating until a different audio
byte is received. It will then switch to Operating mode. Once the TFA9881 has powered
up, only ‘mute’ (0x66) and ‘power-down’ (0xAC) control patterns are recognized.
All registers are reset to their default values if silence pattern 0xAA is received or the VDDD
supply is removed.

8.4.2 Clip control
TFA9881 clip control is off by default. Clip control can be turned on via silence pattern
0xD2 (see Section 8.4.1). The TFA9881 clips smoothly with clip control on. Output power
is at maximum with clip control off.
8.4.3 Gain selection
Signal conversion from digital audio in to PWM modulated audio out is independent of
supply voltages VDDP and VDDD. At the default gain setting (0 dB), the audio output signal
level is just below the clipping point at a supply voltage of 3.6 V at 6 dBFS (peak) input.
The TFA9881 supports two further gain settings to support full output power at
VDDP = 2.5 V and VDDP = 5.0 V. The gain settings can be selected via silence patterns
0xD4 and 0xD8 (see Section 8.4.1).
Table 9 details the corresponding peak output voltage level at 6 dBFS for the three gain
settings.

8.4.4 PWM slope selection
The rise and fall times of the PWM output edges can be set to one of two values, as
detailed in Table 10. The default setting is ‘slope normal’ (10 ns with VDDP = 3.6 V). ‘Slope
low’ is selected via silence pattern 0xE1 (see Section 8.4.1). This function is implemented
to reduce Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI).

8.4.5 Dynamic Power Stage Activation (DPSA)
The TFA9881 uses DPSA to regulate current consumption in line with the level of the
incoming audio stream. This function switches off power stage sections that are not
needed, reducing current consumption.
Each of the TFA9881 H-bridge power stages is divided into eight sections. The number of
power stage sections activated depends on the level of the incoming audio stream. The
thresholds used by the DPSA to determine how many stages are switched on are given in
Table 11. The DPSA signal is used as a reference signal for switching power stage
sections on and off. The DPSA signal will rise in tandem with the rectified audio input
signal. When the rectified audio input signal falls, the DPSA decreases with a negative
exponential function, as illustrated in Figure 7.
The DPSA function can be switched off via silence pattern 0xE2. When DPSA is off, all
power stage sections are activated in Operating mode.

8.4.6 Bandwidth extension
The TFA9881 output spectrum has a sigma-delta converter characteristic. Figure 8
illustrates the output power spectrum of the TFA9881 when it is receiving a PDM input
stream without audio content and with bandwidth extension off. The quantization noise is
shaped above the band of interest. The band of interest (bandwidth) is determined by the
TFA9881

corner frequency where the noise is increasing. The bandwidth in Figure 8 scales with the
clock input frequency. This bandwidth can be extended via the bandwidth extension
silence pattern (0xE4; see Section 8.4.1). The PWM switching frequency also scales with
the bandwidth extension setting. The bandwidth and the PWM switching frequency when
bandwidth extension is on and off are given in Table 12.
Remark: The Bandwidth extension should be switched off when fclk > 4.1 MHz.

8.4.7 Mute
Mute mode is activated when the mute silence pattern (at least 32 consecutive 0x66
bytes) is applied on the DATA input. The TFA9881 remains in Mute mode as long as the
0x66 pattern is repeated. It will return to Operating mode when a pattern other than 0x66
is received. Transitions to and from Mute mode occur as soon as the relevant pattern is
recognized by the TFA9881 (hard mute and hard unmute).
8.4.8 Power-down
Power-down mode is activated when the power-down silence pattern (at least 128
consecutive 0xAC bytes) is applied on the DATA input. The TFA9881 remains in
Power-down mode as long as the 0xAC pattern is repeated. It will return to Operating
mode when a pattern other than 0xAC is received.

8.5 High-pass filter
The high-pass filter will block the DC components in the incoming audio stream. The
cut-off frequency, fhigh(3dB), is determined by the clock frequency, and is defined in
Equation 1:
– f clk  ln  8191  8192 
f high  –3dB  = ----------------------------------------------------16  k  
(1)
where k depends on the bandwidth extension setting (see Section 8.4.6):
• k = 2 if bandwidth extension is off
• k = 1 if bandwidth extension is on
fhigh(3dB) is about 7.5 Hz at a clock frequency of 6.144 MHz when bandwidth extension is
off. The high-pass filter is always enabled.
Remark: Care should be taken when DC dither is applied to the PDM audio input stream.
The PDM source should slowly increase this DC-dither to avoid pop noise.
8.6 Protection mechanisms
The following protection circuits are included in the TFA9881:
•
•
•
•
•
Invalid Data Protection (IDP)
OverTemperature Protection (OTP)
OverVoltage Protection (OVP)
UnderVoltage Protection (UVP)
OverCurrent Protection (OCP)
The reaction of the device to fault conditions differs depending on the protection circuit
involved.
8.6.1 Invalid Data Protection (IDP)
IDP is designed to detect the absence of a data input signal. IDP is activated when 128
consecutive 0s or 1s are received on the DATA input.
IDP is disabled when a PDM stream that does not contain 128 consecutive 0s or 1s is
received. The output stages are set floating when IDP is active.
Remark: The maximum PDM input modulation depth should be limited to avoid false IDP
triggering.
8.6.2 OverTemperature Protection (OTP)
OTP prevents heat damage to the TFA9881. It is triggered when the junction temperature
exceeds 130 °C. When this happens, the output stages are set floating. OTP is cleared
automatically via an internal timer (100 ms with fclk = 6.144 MHz), after which the output
stages will start to operate normally again.

8.6.3 Supply voltage protection mechanisms (UVP and OVP)
UVP is activated, setting the outputs floating, if VDDP drops below the undervoltage
protection threshold, VP(uvp). This transition will be silent, without pop noise. When the
supply voltage rises above VP(uvp) again, the system will be restarted after 100 ms with
fclk = 6.144 MHz.
OVP is activated, setting the power stages floating, if the supply voltage rises above the
overvoltage protection threshold, VP(ovp). The power stages are re-enabled as soon as the
supply voltage drops below VP(ovp) again. The system will be restarted after 100 ms with
fclk = 6.144 MHz.
Note that a supply voltage > 5.5 V may damage the TFA9881.
8.6.4 OverCurrent Protection (OCP)
OCP will detect a short circuit across the load or between one of the amplifier outputs and
one of the supply lines. If the output current exceeds the overcurrent protection threshold
(IO(ocp)), it will be limited to IO(ocp) while the amplifier outputs are switching (the amplifier is
not powered down completely). This is called current limiting. The amplifier can
distinguish between an impedance drop at the loudspeaker and a low-ohmic short circuit
across the load or to one of the supply lines. The impedance threshold depends on which
supply voltage is being used:
• In the event of a short circuit across the load or a short to one of the supply lines, the
audio amplifier is switched off completely. It will try to restart again after approximately
100 ms with fclk = 6.144 MHz. If the short-circuit condition is still present after this
time, this cycle will be repeated. Average dissipation will be low because of the short
duty cycle.
• In the event of an impedance drop (e.g. due to dynamic behavior of the loudspeaker),
the same protection mechanism will be activated. The maximum output current is
again limited to IO(ocp), but the amplifier will not switch off completely (thus preventing
audio holes from occurring). This will result in a clipped output signal without artifacts.

13. Application information
13.1 ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
EMC standards define to what degree a (sub)system is susceptible to externally imposed
electromagnetic influences and to what degree a (sub)system is responsible for emitting
electromagnetic signals, when in Standby mode or Operating mode.
EMC immunity and emission values are normally measured over a frequency range from
180 kHz up to 3 GHz.
13.1.1 Immunity
A major reason why amplifier devices pick up high frequency signals, and (after detection)
manifest these in the device's audio band, is the presence of analog circuits inside the
device or in the (sub)system.
The TFA9881 has digital inputs and digital outputs. Comparative tests on a
TFA9881-based (sub)system show that the impact of externally imposed electromagnetic
signals on the device is negligible in both Standby and Operating modes.
13.1.2 Emissions
Since the TFA9881 is a class-D amplifier with digitally switched outputs in a BTL
configuration, it can potentially generate emissions due to the steep edges on the
amplifier outputs. External components can be used to suppress these emissions.
However, the TFA9881 features built-in slope control to suppress such emissions by
reducing the slew rate of the BTL output signals. By reducing the slew rate, the emissions
are reduced by 10 dB when compared with full-speed operation.
13.2 Supply decoupling and filtering
A ceramic decoupling capacitor of between 4.7 F and 10 F should be placed close to
the TFA9881 for decoupling the VDDP supply. This minimizes the size of the
high-frequency current loop, thereby optimizing EMC performance. The TEST bump can
be used to route the VDDP bump connection (without using a PCB via).

15. Soldering of WLCSP packages
15.1 Introduction to soldering WLCSP packages
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account
of soldering WLCSP (Wafer Level Chip-Size Packages) can be found in application note
AN10439 “Wafer Level Chip Scale Package” and in application note AN10365 “Surface
mount reflow soldering description”.
Wave soldering is not suitable for this package.
All NXP WLCSP packages are lead-free.
15.2 Board mounting
Board mounting of a WLCSP requires several steps:
1. Solder paste printing on the PCB
2. Component placement with a pick and place machine
3. The reflow soldering itself
15.3 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
• Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 21) than a PbSn process, thus
reducing the process window
• Solder paste printing issues, such as smearing, release, and adjusting the process
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
• Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is
heated to the peak temperature), and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak
temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste
characteristic) while being low enough that the packages and/or boards are not
damaged. The peak temperature of the package depends on package thickness and
volume and is classified in accordance with Table 19.

Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all
times.
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow
soldering, see Figure 21.

“Surface mount reflow soldering description”.
15.3.1 Stand off
The stand off between the substrate and the chip is determined by:
• The amount of printed solder on the substrate
• The size of the solder land on the substrate
• The bump height on the chip
The higher the stand off, the better the stresses are released due to TEC (Thermal
Expansion Coefficient) differences between substrate and chip.
15.3.2 Quality of solder joint
A flip-chip joint is considered to be a good joint when the entire solder land has been
wetted by the solder from the bump. The surface of the joint should be smooth and the
shape symmetrical. The soldered joints on a chip should be uniform. Voids in the bumps
after reflow can occur during the reflow process in bumps with high ratio of bump diameter
to bump height, i.e. low bumps with large diameter. No failures have been found to be
related to these voids. Solder joint inspection after reflow can be done with X-ray to
monitor defects such as bridging, open circuits and voids.
15.3.3 Rework
In general, rework is not recommended. By rework we mean the process of removing the
chip from the substrate and replacing it with a new chip. If a chip is removed from the
substrate, most solder balls of the chip will be damaged. In that case it is recommended
not to re-use the chip again.

Device removal can be done when the substrate is heated until it is certain that all solder
joints are molten. The chip can then be carefully removed from the substrate without
damaging the tracks and solder lands on the substrate. Removing the device must be
done using plastic tweezers, because metal tweezers can damage the silicon. The
surface of the substrate should be carefully cleaned and all solder and flux residues
and/or underfill removed. When a new chip is placed on the substrate, use the flux
process instead of solder on the solder lands. Apply flux on the bumps at the chip side as
well as on the solder pads on the substrate. Place and align the new chip while viewing
with a microscope. To reflow the solder, use the solder profile shown in application note
AN10365 “Surface mount reflow soldering description”.
15.3.4 Cleaning
Cleaning can be done after reflow soldering.
