Any dc offset between the input signal source and the input terminal is amplified and can seriously degrade the performance of the amplifier. For this reason, it is recommended that the inputs always be connected through a series capacitor (ac coupled). The power outputs, also having a dc bias, must be connected to the speakers via series capacitors. MUTE/STANDBY OPERATION The TPA1517 has three modes of operation; normal, mute, and standby. They are controlled by the voltage on the M/SB terminal as described in Figure 24. In normal mode, the TPA1517 amplifies the signal applied to the two input terminals providing low impedance drive to speakers connected to the output terminals. In mute mode, the amplifier retains all bias voltages and quiescent supply current levels but does not pass the input signal to the output. In standby mode, the internal bias generators and power-drive stages are turned off, thereby reducing the supply current levels.

Standby, Mute, and Normal (On) Operating Conditions The designer must take care to place the control voltages within the defined ranges for each desired mode, whenever an external circuit is used to control the input voltage at the M/SB terminal. The undefined area can cause unpredictable performance and should be avoided. As the control voltage moves through the undefined areas, pop or click sounds may be heard in the speaker. Moving from mute to normal causes a very small click sound. Whereas moving from standby to mute can cause a much larger pop sound. Figure 25 shows external circuitry designed to help reduce transition pops when moving from standby mode to normal mode. 12 Submit Documentation Feedback TPA1517 www.ti.com SLOS162D – MARCH 1997 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2007 APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued) Figure 25 is a reference schematic that provides TTL-level control of the M/SB terminal. A diode network is also included which helps reduce turn-on pop noises. The diodes serve to drain the charge out of the output coupling capacitors while the amplifier is in shutdown mode.

TTL Control with POP Reduction Submit Documentation Feedback 13 TPA1517 www.ti.com SLOS162D – MARCH 1997 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2007 APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued) COMPONENT SELECTION Some of the general concerns for selection of capacitors are: • Leakage currents on aluminum electrolytic capacitors • ESR (equivalent series resistance) • Temperature ratings LEAKAGE CURRENTS Leakage currents on most ceramic, polystyrene, and paper capacitors are negligible for this application. Leakage currents for aluminum electrolytic and tantalum tend to be higher. This is especially important on the input terminals and the SVRR capacitor. These nodes encounter from 3 V to 7 V, and need to have leakage currents less than 1 µA to keep from affecting the output power and noise performance. EQUIVALENT SERIES RESISTANCE ESR is mainly important on the output coupling capacitor, where even 1Ω of ESR in CO with an 8-Ω speaker can reduce the output drive power by 12.5%. ESR should be considered across the frequency range of interest, (i.e., 20 Hz to 20 kHz). The following equation calculates the amount of power lost in the coupling capacitor: % Power in C O + ESR RL The power supply decoupling requires a low ESR as well to take advantage of the full output drive current. TEMPERATURE RANGE The temperature range of the capacitors are important. Many of the high-density capacitors perform differently at different temperatures. When consistent high performance is required from the system overtemperature in terms of low THD, maximum output power, and turn-on/off popping, then interactions of the coupling capacitors and the SVRR capacitors need to be considered, as well as the change in ESR on the output capacitor with temperature. TURN-ON POP CONSIDERATION To select the proper input coupling capacitor, the designer should select a capacitor large enough to allow the lowest desired frequency pass and small enough that the time constant is shorter than the output RC time constant to minimize turn-on popping. The input time constant for the TPA1517 is determined by the input 60-kΩ resistance of the amplifier, and the input coupling capacitor according to the following generic equation: 1 TC + 2pRC For example, 8-Ω speakers and 220-µF output coupling capacitors would yield a 90-Hz cut-off point for the output RC network. The input network should be the same speed or faster ( > 90 Hz TC). A good choice would be 180 Hz. As the input resistance is 60 kΩ, a 14-nF input coupling capacitor would do. The bypass-capacitor time constant should be much larger (×5) than either the input coupling capacitor time constant or the output coupling capacitor time constants. In the previous example with the 220-µF output coupling capacitor, the designer should want the bypass capacitor, TC, to be in the order of 18 Hz or lower. To get an 18-Hz time constant, CB is required to be 1 µF or larger because the resistance this capacitor sees is 7.5 kΩ. In summary, follow one of the three simple relations presented below, depending on the tradeoffs between low frequency response and turn-on pop. 1. If depop performance is the top priority, then follow: 7500 C B u 5RLC O u 300000 C I 2. If low frequency ac response is more important but depop is still a consideration then follow: 1 t 10 Hz 2p60000 C I 14 Submit Documentation Feedback TPA1517 www.ti.com SLOS162D – MARCH 1997 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2007 APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued) 3.

A typical music CD requires 12 dB to 15 dB of dynamic headroom to pass the loudest portions without distortion as compared with the average power output. Figure 19 shows that when the TPA1517 is operating from a 12-V supply into a 4-Ω speaker that approximately 3.5 W peaks are possible. Converting watts to dB using the following equation: ǒ Ǔ P P dB + 10Log P W ref ǒ Ǔ + 10Log 3.5 1 + 5.44 dB Subtracting dB for the headroom restriction to obtain the average listening level without distortion yields the following: 5.44 dB * 15 dB + * 9.56 dB (15 dB headroom) 5.44 dB * 12 dB + * 6.56 dB (12 dB headroom) Converting dB back into watts: P ń10 P W + 10 dB Pref + 111 mW (15 dB headroom) + 221 mW (12 dB headroom) This is valuable information to consider when attempting to estimate the heat dissipation requirements for the amplifier system. Comparing the absolute worst cast, which is 3.5 W of continuous power output with 0 dB of headroom, against 12-dB and 15-dB applications drastically affects maximum ambient temperature ratings for the system. Using the power dissipation curves for a 12-V, 4-Ω system, internal dissipation in the TPA1517 and maximum ambient temperatures are shown in Table 1. Table 1.

The derating factor for the NE package with 7 square inches (17.78 cm) of copper area is 22.8 mW/°C. Converting this to θJA: 1 θ JA + Derating For 0 CFM : + 1 0.0228 + 43.9°CńW To calculate maximum ambient temperatures, first consider that the numbers from the dissipation graphs are per channel so the dissipated heat 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 with the following equation. The maximum recommended junction temperature for the TPA1517 is 150°C. T A Max + T J Max * q JA P D + 150 * 43.9(1.25 2) + 40°C (15 dB headroom, 0 CFM) Table 1 clearly shows that for most applications some airflow is required to keep junction temperatures in the specified range. The TPA1517 is designed with thermal protection that turns the device off when the junction temperature surpasses 150°C to prevent damage to the IC. Using the DWP package on a multilayer PCB with internal ground planes can achieve better thermal performance. Table 1 was calculated for a maximum volume system; 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.
