description
The TPA6101A2 is a stereo audio power amplifier packaged in an 8-pin SOIC package, an 8-pin MSOP
package, or a 15-ball BGA package, capable of delivering 50 mW of continuous RMS power per channel into
16-Ω loads. Amplifier gain is internally set to 2 dB (inverting) to save board space by eliminating six external
resistors.
The TPA6101A2 is optimized for battery applications because of its low supply current, shutdown current, and
THD+N. To obtain the low-supply-voltage range, the TPA6101A2 biases BYPASS to VDD/4.
When driving a 16-Ω load with 40-mW output power from 3.3 V, THD+N is 0.08% at 1 kHz, and less than 0.2%
across the audio band of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. For 30 mW into 32-Ω loads, the THD+N is reduced to less than 0.06%
at 1 kHz, and is less than 0.3% across the audio band of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
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 RI form a high-pass filter with the corner frequency
determined in equation 1. RI is set internally and is fixed at 80 kΩ.
fc +

2p R I C I
(1)
The value of CI is important to consider, as it directly affects the bass (low-frequency) performance of the circuit.
Consider the example where the specification calls for a flat bass response down to 20 Hz. Equation 1 is
reconfigured as equation 2.
CI +

2p R I f c
(2)
In this example, CI is approximately 0.1 µF. A further consideration for this capacitor is the leakage path from
the input source through the input network (RI, CI) and the feedback resistor (RF) to the load. This leakage
current creates a dc-offset voltage at the input to the amplifier that reduces useful headroom. 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/4,
which is likely higher than the source dc level. It is important to confirm the capacitor polarity in the application.
power supply decoupling, CS
The TPA6101A2 is a high-performance CMOS audio amplifier that requires adequate power supply decoupling
to ensure that 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 power amplifier is recommended.
midrail bypass capacitor, CB
The midrail bypass capacitor (CB) serves several important functions. During start-up, CB determines the rate
at which the amplifier starts up. This helps to push the start-up pop noise into the subaudible range (so low it
can not be heard). 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. The capacitor
is fed from a 55-kΩ source inside the amplifier. To keep the start-up pop as low as possible, the relationship
shown in Euation 3 should be maintained.

As an example, consider a circuit where CB is 1 µF, CI is 0.1 µF, and RI is 80 kΩ. Inserting these values into
Euation 3 results in: 18.18 ≤ 125 which satisfies the rule. Bypass capacitor (CB) values of 0.47 µF to 1 µF and
ceramic or tantalum low-ESR capacitors are recommended for the best THD and noise performance.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
output coupling capacitor, CC
In the typical single-supply, single-ended (SE) configuration, an output coupling capacitor (CC) 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 from a high-pass filter is governed by
Equation 4.
fc +
1
2p R L C C
(4)
The main disadvantage, from a performance standpoint, is that the typically small load impedances drive the
low-frequency corner higher. Large values of CC are required to pass low-frequencies into the load. Consider
the example where a CC of 68 µF is chosen and loads vary from 32 Ω to 47 kΩ. Table 1 summarizes the
frequency response characteristics of each configuration.

As Table 1 indicates, headphone response is adequate and drive into line-level inputs (a home stereo for
example) is very good.
The output coupling capacitor required in single-supply SE mode also places additional constraints on the
selection of other components in the amplifier circuit. With the rules described earlier still valid, add the following

using low-ESR capacitors
Low-ESR capacitors are recommended throughout this application. A real 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.
3.3-V versus 1.6-V operation
The TPA6101A2 was designed for operation over a supply range of 1.6 V to 3.6 V. There are no special
considerations for 1.6-V versus 3.3-V operation as far as supply bypassing, gain setting, or stability. Supply
current is slightly reduced from 0.75 mA (typical) to 0.65 mA (typical). The most important consideration is that
of output power. Each amplifier can produce a maxium output voltage swing within a few hundred millivolts of
the rails with a 10-kΩ load. However, this voltage swing decreases as the load resistance decreases, and the
rDS(on) of the output stage transistors becomes more significant. For example, for a 32-Ω load, the maximum
peak output voltage with VDD = 1.6 V is approximately 0.7 V with no clipping distortion. This reduced voltage
swing effectively reduces the maximum undistorted output power.
