description
The TPA0162 is a stereo audio power amplifier in a 24-pin TSSOP thermally enhanced package capable of
delivering 2 W of continuous RMS power per channel into 3-Ω loads. This device minimizes the number of
external components needed, which simplifies the design and frees up board space for other features. When
driving 1 W into 8-Ω speakers, the TPA0162 has less than 0.22% THD+N across its specified frequency range.
Included within this device is integrated depop circuitry that virtually eliminates transients that cause noise in
the speakers.
The overall gain of the amplifier is controlled digitally by the UP and DOWN terminals. At power up, the gain
is set at the lowest level, –85 dB. It can then be adjusted to any of 31 discrete steps by pulling the voltage down
at the desired pin to logic low. The gain is adjusted in the initial stage of the amplifier as opposed to the power
output stage. As a result, the THD changes very little over all volume levels.
An internal input MUX allows two sets of stereo inputs to the amplifier. In notebook applications, where internal
speakers are driven as BTL and the line outputs (often headphone drive) are required to be SE, the TPA0162
automatically switches into SE mode when the SE/BTL input is activated. This effectively reduces the gain by
6 dB.
The TPA0162 consumes only 20 mA of supply current during normal operation. A shutdown mode is included
that reduces the supply current to less than 150 µA.
The PowerPAD package (PWP) delivers a level of thermal performance that was previously achievable only
in TO-220-type packages. Thermal impedances of approximately 35°C/W are truly realized in multilayer PCB
applications. This allows the TPA0162 to operate at full power into 8-Ω loads at ambient temperatures of 85°C.

Texas Instruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
changing volume when using the internal clock
If using the internal clock, the maximum clock frequency is 500 Hz and the recommended frequency is 100 Hz
using a 47-nF capacitor. Use equation 1 for calculating the clock frequency if using a cap to generate the clock.
f
CLK
+ 4.7C
10 –6
(1)
CLK
Note: This equation is an approximation; fCLK will vary.
When the desired line is pulled low for four clock cycles, the volume will increment by one step, followed by a
short delay. This delay will decrease the longer the line is held low, eventually reaching a delay of zero. The delay
allows the user to pull the UP or DOWN terminal low once for one volume change, or hold down to ramp several
volume changes. The delay is optimally configured for push button volume control.
Holding either UP or DOWN low continuously causes the volume to change at an exponentially increasing rate.
When fCLK = 100 Hz, the first change in the volume occurs approximately 40 ms after either pin is initially pulled
low. If the pin stays low for approximately 400 more ms, the volume changes again. The next change occurs
200 ms after this change. The fourth change occurs 120 ms after the third change. The fifth volume change
occurs 80 ms after the fourth change. Thereafter, the volume changes at 1/4 the rate of the clock (every 40 ms).
Each cycle is registered on the rising clock edge and the volume is changed after the rising edge.
Figure 32 shows increasing volume using UP, however, the volume is decreased using DOWN with the same
timing.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
changing volume when using the external clock (microprocessor mode)
The user may remove the capacitor and run the external clock directly into the clock pin to override the internal
clock generator. The maximum clock frequency is 10 kHz if using an external clock; however, it is recommended
that the clock frequency be less than 200 Hz in normal operation so the gain will not change too quickly causing
a pop at the output. A 5-V clock must be used because the trip levels are 0.5 V and 4.5 V. The clock needs to
have 50% duty cycle. The recommended way of adjusting the volume is to use a gated clock and hold UP or
DOWN low and cycle the clock pin four times to adjust the volume. The volume change is clocked in at the rising
edge. CLK should be held low when not changing volume. No delay is added when using an external clock, so
it is very important to only input four clock cycles per volume change. Any additional clock cycles per volume
change will be added to the next volume change. For example, if five clock cycles are input while UP is held
low the first volume change, the volume change will occur after the third clock cycle the next time UP is held
low. The figure below shows how volume increases with UP when an external clock is used. The sample and
hold times for UP and DOWN are 100 ns. The same timing applies if using an external clock and decreasing
the volume with DOWN.

input resistance
Each gain setting is achieved by varying the input resistance of the amplifier, which can range from its smallest
value to over six times that value. As a result, if a single capacitor is used in the input high-pass filter, the –3 dB

If the filter must be more accurate, the value of the capacitor should be increased while value of the resistor to

input capacitor, Ci
In the typical application an input capacitor (Ci) is required to allow the amplifier to bias the input signal to the
proper dc level for optimum operation. In this case, Ci and the input impedance of the amplifier (Zi) form a

input capacitor, Ci (continued)
The value of Ci is important to consider as it directly affects the bass (low frequency) performance of the circuit.

Equation 2 is reconfigured as equation 3.

+ 2 p 1Z fc

In this example, Ci is 5.6 nF so one would likely choose a value in the range of 5.6 nF to 1 µF. A further
consideration for this capacitor is the leakage path from the input source through the input network (Ci) and the
feedback network to the load. This leakage current creates a dc offset voltage at the input to the amplifier that
reduces useful headroom, especially in high gain applications. For this reason, a low-leakage tantalum or
ceramic capacitor is the best choice. When polarized capacitors are used, the positive side of the capacitor
should face the amplifier input in most applications as the dc level there is held at VDD/2, which is likely higher
that the source dc level. Note that it is important to confirm the capacitor polarity in the application.
power supply decoupling, C(S)
The TPA0162 is a high-performance CMOS audio amplifier that requires adequate power supply decoupling
to ensure the output total harmonic distortion (THD) is as low as possible. Power supply decoupling also
prevents oscillations for long lead lengths between the amplifier and the speaker. The optimum decoupling is
achieved by using two capacitors of different types that target different types of noise on the power supply leads.
For higher frequency transients, spikes, or digital hash on the line, a good low equivalent-series-resistance
(ESR) ceramic capacitor, typically 0.1 µF placed as close as possible to the device VDD lead works best. For
filtering lower-frequency noise signals, a larger aluminum electrolytic capacitor of 10 µF or greater placed near
the audio power amplifier is recommended.
midrail bypass capacitor, C(BYP)
The midrail bypass capacitor (C(BYP)) is the most critical capacitor and serves several important functions.
During start-up or recovery from shutdown mode, C(BYP) determines the rate at which the amplifier starts up.
The second function is to reduce noise produced by the power supply caused by coupling into the output drive
signal. This noise is from the midrail generation circuit internal to the amplifier, which appears as degraded
PSRR and THD+N.
Bypass capacitor (C(BYP)) values of 0.47-µF to 1-µF ceramic or tantalum low-ESR capacitors are recommended
for the best THD and noise performance.
output coupling capacitor, C(C)
In the typical single-supply SE configuration, an output coupling capacitor (C(C)) is required to block the dc bias
at the output of the amplifier thus preventing dc currents in the load. As with the input coupling capacitor, the
output coupling capacitor and impedance of the load form a high-pass filter governed by equation 4.

The main disadvantage, from a performance standpoint, is the load impedances are typically small, which drives
the low-frequency corner higher degrading the bass response. Large values of C(C) are required to pass low
frequencies into the load. Consider the example where a C(C) of 330 µF is chosen and loads vary from 3 Ω,
4 Ω, 8 Ω, 32 Ω, 10 kΩ, and 47 kΩ. Table 2 summarizes the frequency response characteristics of each
configuration.

As Table 1 indicates, most of the bass response is attenuated into a 4-Ω load, an 8-Ω load is adequate,
headphone response is good, and drive into line level inputs (a home stereo for example) is exceptional.
using low-ESR capacitors
Low-ESR capacitors are recommended throughout this applications section. A real (as opposed to ideal)
capacitor can be modeled simply as a resistor in series with an ideal capacitor. The voltage drop across this
resistor minimizes the beneficial effects of the capacitor in the circuit. The lower the equivalent value of this
resistance the more the real capacitor behaves like an ideal capacitor.
bridged-tied load versus single-ended mode
Figure 34 shows a class-AB audio power amplifier (APA) in a BTL configuration. The TPA0162 BTL amplifier
consists of two class-AB amplifiers driving both ends of the load. There are several potential benefits to this
differential drive configuration but initially consider power to the load. The differential drive to the speaker means
that as one side is slewing up, the other side is slewing down, and vice versa. This in effect doubles the voltage
swing on the load as compared to a ground referenced load. Plugging 2 × VO(PP) into the power equation, where
voltage is squared, yields 4× the output power from the same supply rail and load impedance (see equation 5).

Figure 34. Bridge-Tied Load Configuration
In a typical computer sound channel operating at 5 V, bridging raises the power into an 8-Ω speaker from a
singled-ended (SE, ground reference) limit of 250 mW to 1 W. In sound power that is a 6-dB improvement ,which
is loudness that can be heard. In addition to increased power there are frequency response concerns. Consider
the single-supply SE configuration shown in Figure 35. A coupling capacitor is required to block the dc offset
voltage from reaching the load. These capacitors can be quite large (approximately 33 µF to 1000 µF), so they
tend to be expensive, heavy, occupy valuable PCB area, and have the additional drawback of limiting
low-frequency performance of the system. This frequency limiting effect is due to the high-pass filter network
created with the speaker impedance and the coupling capacitance and is calculated with equation 6.

For example, a 68-µF capacitor with an 8-Ω speaker would attenuate low frequencies below 293 Hz. The BTL
configuration cancels the dc offsets, which eliminates the need for the blocking capacitors. Low-frequency
performance is then limited only by the input network and speaker response. Cost and PCB space are also
minimized by eliminating the bulky coupling capacitor.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
bridged-tied load versus single-ended mode (continued)
Increasing power to the load does carry a penalty of increased internal power dissipation. The increased
dissipation is understandable considering that the BTL configuration produces 4× the output power of the SE
configuration. Internal dissipation versus output power is discussed further in the crest factor section.
single-ended operation
In SE mode (see Figure 35), the load is driven from the primary amplifier output for each channel (OUT+).
The amplifier switches single-ended operation when the SE/BTL terminal is held high. This puts the negative
outputs in a high-impedance state, and reduces the amplifier’s gain to 1 V/V.
BTL amplifier efficiency
Class-AB amplifiers are often inefficient. The primary cause of these inefficiencies is voltage drop across the
output stage transistors. There are two components of the internal voltage drop. One is the headroom or dc
voltage drop that varies inversely to output power. The second component is due to the sinewave nature of the
output. The total voltage drop can be calculated by subtracting the RMS value of the output voltage from VDD.
The internal voltage drop multiplied by the RMS value of the supply current (IDDrms) determines the internal
power dissipation of the amplifier.
An easy-to-use equation to calculate efficiency starts out as being equal to the ratio of power from the power
supply to the power delivered to the load. To accurately calculate the RMS and average values of power in the
load and in the amplifier, the current and voltage waveform shapes must first be understood (see Figure 36).

Figure 36. Voltage and Current Waveforms for BTL Amplifiers
Although the voltages and currents for SE and BTL are sinusoidal in the load, currents from the supply are very
different between SE and BTL configurations. In an SE application the current waveform is a half-wave rectified
shape whereas in BTL it is a full-wave rectified waveform. This means RMS conversion factors are different.
Keep in mind that for most of the waveform both the push and pull transistors are not on at the same time, which
supports the fact that each amplifier in the BTL device only draws current from the supply for half the waveform.
The following equations are the basis for calculating amplifier efficiency.

Table 2 employs equation 4 to calculate efficiencies for four different output power levels. Note that the efficiency
of the amplifier is quite low for lower power levels and rises sharply as power to the load is increased resulting
in a nearly flat internal power dissipation over the normal operating range. Note that the internal dissipation at
full output power is less than in the half power range. Calculating the efficiency for a specific system is the key
to proper power supply design. For a stereo 1-W audio system with 8-Ω loads and a 5-V supply, the maximum
draw on the power supply is almost 3.25 W.

A final point to remember about class-AB amplifiers (either SE or BTL) is how to manipulate the terms in the
efficiency equation to the utmost advantage when possible. Note that in equation 8, VDD is in the denominator.
This indicates that as VDD goes down, efficiency goes up.

crest factor and thermal considerations
Class-AB power amplifiers dissipate a significant amount of heat in the package under normal operating
conditions. A typical music CD requires 12 dB to 15 dB of dynamic range, or headroom above the average power
output, to pass the loudest portions of the signal without distortion. In other words, music typically has a crest
factor between 12 dB and 15 dB. When determining the optimal ambient operating temperature, the internal
dissipated power at the average output power level must be used. From the TPA0162 data sheet, one can see
that when the TPA0162 is operating from a 5-V supply into a 3-Ω speaker, 4-W peaks are available. To
converting watts to dB use equation 9.

Subtracting the headroom restriction to obtain the average listening level without distortion yields:
6 dB – 15 dB = –9 dB (15-dB crest factor)
6 dB – 12 dB = –6 dB (12-dB crest factor)
6 dB – 9 dB = –3 dB (9-dB crest factor)
6 dB – 6 dB = 0 dB (6-dB crest factor)
6 dB – 3 dB = 3 dB (3-dB crest factor)
To convert dB back into watts use equation 10.

(10)
This is valuable information to consider when attempting to estimate the heat dissipation requirements for the
amplifier system. Comparing the absolute worst case, which is 2 W of continuous power output with a 3-dB crest
factor, against 12-dB and 15-dB applications drastically affects maximum ambient temperature ratings for the
system. Using the power dissipation curves for a 5-V, 3-Ω system, the internal dissipation in the TPA0162 and
maximum ambient temperatures is shown in Table 4.

The maximum dissipated power (PD(max)) is reached at a much lower output power level for an 8-Ω load than
for a 3-Ω load. As a result, use equation 11 for calculating PD(max) for an 8-Ω application.

However, in the case of a 3-Ω load, the PD(max) occurs at a point well above the normal operating power level.
The amplifier may therefore be operated at a higher ambient temperature than required by the PD(max) formula
for a 3-Ω load.
The maximum ambient temperature depends on the heat sinking ability of the PCB system. The derating factor
for the PWP package is shown in the Dissipation Rating Table. To convert this to ΘJA use equation 12.

(12)
To calculate maximum ambient temperatures, first consider that the numbers from the dissipation graphs are
per channel so the dissipated power needs to be doubled for two channel operation. Given ΘJA, the maximum
allowable junction temperature, and the total internal dissipation, the maximum ambient temperature can be
calculated using equation 13. The maximum recommended junction temperature for the TPA0162 is 150°C. The
internal dissipation figures are taken from the Power Dissipation vs Output Power graphs.

NOTE:
Internal dissipation of 0.6 W is estimated for a 2-W system with 15-dB crest factor per channel.
Tables 3 and 4 show that for some applications no airflow is required to keep junction temperatures in the
specified range. The TPA0162 is designed with thermal protection that turns the device off when the junction
temperature surpasses 150°C to prevent damage to the IC. Tables 3 and 4 were calculated for maximum
listening volume without distortion. When the output level is reduced, the numbers in the table change
significantly. Also, using 8-Ω speakers dramatically increases the thermal performance by increasing amplifier
efficiency.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
SE/BTL operation
The ability of the TPA0162 to easily switch between BTL and SE modes is one of its most important cost saving
features. This feature eliminates the requirement for an additional headphone amplifier in applications where
internal stereo speakers are driven in BTL mode but external headphone or speakers must be accommodated.
Internal to the TPA0162, two separate amplifiers drive OUT+ and OUT–. The SE/BTL input controls the
operation of the follower amplifier that drives LOUT– and ROUT–. When SE/BTL is held low, the amplifier is
on and the TPA0162 is in the BTL mode. When SE/BTL is held high, the OUT– amplifiers are in a high output
impedance state, which configures the TPA0162 as an SE driver from LOUT+ and ROUT+. IDD is reduced by
approximately one-half in SE mode. Control of the SE/BTL input can be from a logic-level CMOS source or, more
typically, from a resistor divider network as shown in Figure 37.

Using a readily available 1/8-in. (3,5 mm) stereo headphone jack, the control switch is closed when no plug is
inserted. When closed the 100-kΩ/1-kΩ divider pulls the SE/BTL input low. When a plug is inserted, the 1-kΩ
resistor is disconnected and the SE/BTL input is pulled high. When the input goes high, the OUT– amplifier is
shut down causing the speaker to mute (virtually open-circuits the speaker). The OUT+ amplifier then drives
through the output capacitor (Co) into the headphone jack.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
PC-BEEP operation
The PC-BEEP input allows a system beep to be sent directly from a computer through the amplifier to the
speakers with few external components. The input is activated automatically. When the PC-BEEP input is
active, both of the LINEIN and HPIN inputs are deselected and both the left and right channels are driven in BTL
mode with the signal from PC-BEEP. The gain from the PC-BEEP input to the speakers is fixed at 0.3 V/V and
is independent of the volume setting. When the PC-BEEP input is deselected, the amplifier will return to the
previous operating mode and volume setting. Furthermore, if the amplifier is in shutdown mode, activating
PC-BEEP will take the device out of shutdown and output the PC-BEEP signal, then return the amplifier to
shutdown mode.
The amplifier will automatically switch to PC-BEEP mode after detecting a valid signal at the PC-BEEP input.
The preferred input signal is a square wave or pulse train with an amplitude of 1 Vpp or greater. To be accurately
detected, the signal must have a minimum of 1-Vpp amplitude, rise and fall times of less than 0.1 µs and a
minimum of eight rising edges. When the signal is no longer detected, the amplifier will return to its previous
operating mode and volume setting.
If it is desired to ac-couple the PC-BEEP input, the value of the coupling capacitor should be chosen to satisfy
equation 14.

The PC-BEEP input can also be dc coupled to avoid using this coupling capacitor. The pin normally sits at midrail
when no signal is present.

Another advantage of using the MUX feature is setting the gain of the headphone channel to –1. This provides
the optimum distortion performance into the headphones where clear sound is more important. Refer to the
SE/BTL operation section for a description of the headphone jack control circuit.
shutdown modes
The TPA0162 employs a shutdown mode of operation designed to reduce supply current (IDD) to the absolute
minimum level during periods of nonuse for battery-power conservation. The SHUTDOWN input terminal
should be held high during normal operation when the amplifier is in use. Pulling SHUTDOWN low causes the
outputs to mute and the amplifier to enter a low-current state, IDD = 150 µA. SHUTDOWN should never be left
unconnected because amplifier operation would be unpredictable.
