APPLICATION INFORMATION

The TA2024B is a power (high current) amplifier that operates at relatively high switching frequencies. The outputs of the amplifier switch between the supply voltage and ground at high speeds while driving high currents. This high-frequency digital signal is passed through an LC low-pass filter to recover the amplified audio signal. Since the amplifier must drive the inductive LC output filter and speaker loads, the amplifier outputs can be pulled above the supply voltage and below ground by the energy in the output inductance. To avoid subjecting the TA2024B to potentially damaging voltage stress, it is critical to have a good printed circuit board layout. It is recommended that Tripath’s layout and application circuit be used for all applications and only be deviated from after careful analysis of the effects of any changes. Please contact Tripath Technology for further information regarding reference design material regarding the TA2024B. Output Stage layout Considerations and Component Selection Criteria Proper PCB layout and component selection is a major step in designing a reliable TA2024B 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. The above layout shows ideal 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 TA2024B, 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 and L2 connect to the OUTP1 pin and D2 and L3 connect to the OUTM1 pin of the TA2024B. Each output must have a Schottky or Ultra Fast Recovery diode placed near the TA2024B, preferably immediately 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 TA2024B. This can be achieved with a ground plane or a trace. The output inductors, L2 and L3, should be placed close to the TA2024B without compromising the locations of the closely placed supply decoupling capacitors and output diodes. The purpose

Tripath Technology, Inc. - Technical Information 9 TA2024B –KL/1.2/01.06 of placing the output inductors close to the TA2024B 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 above- mentioned 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. TA2024B Amplifier Gain The ideal gain of the TA2024B is set by the ratio of two external resistors, RI and RF, and is given by the following formula: I F I O R R12V V −= where VI is the input signal level and VO is the differential output signal level across the speaker. Please note that VO is 180° out of phase with VI. The ideal gain of the TA2024B is 12V/V, whereas typical values are: AV = 11.5V/V for 4Ω and 11.7V/V for 8Ω. Protection Circuits The TA2024B 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 TRI- STATED, 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 connected to the FAULT pin, the HIGH output of the FAULT pin will toggle the MUTE pin and automatically reset the fault condition. Overload The OVERLOADB pin is a 5V logic 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, as the OVERLOADB cannot drive an LED directly. Sleep Pin 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 (1megΩ recommended) to VDD. To disable SLEEP mode, the sleep pin should be grounded.

Tripath Technology, Inc. - Technical Information 10 TA2024B –KL/1.2/01.06 Fault Pin 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. All faults except overcurrent all reset upon removal of the condition. 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 over-current condition. Power Dissipation Derating For operating at ambient temperatures above 25 °C the device must be derated based on a 150°C maximum junction temperature, TJMAX as given by the following equation: JA AJMAX DISS )TT(P θ where… PDISS = maximum power dissipation TJMAX = maximum junction temperature of TA2024B TA = operating ambient temperature θJA = junction-to-ambient thermal resistance Where θJA of the package is determined from the following graph: In the above graph Copper Area is the size of the copper pad on the PC board to which the heat slug of the TA2024B is soldered. The heat slug must be soldered to the PC Board to increase the maximum power dissipation capability of the TA2024B package. Soldering will minimize the likelihood of an over-temperature fault occurring during continuous heavy load conditions. The vias used for connecting the heatslug to the copper area on the PCB should be 0.013” diameter. Performance Measurements of the TA2024B The TA2024B operates by generating a high frequency switching signal based on the audio input. This signal is sent through a low-pass filter (external to the Tripath amplifier) that recovers an amplified version of the audio input. The frequency of the switching pattern is spread spectrum and typically varies between 100kHz and 1.0MHz, 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.

Tripath Technology, Inc. - Technical Information 11 TA2024B –KL/1.2/01.06 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 Tripath amplifiers switching pattern will degrade the measurement. One feature of the TA2024B 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 TA2024B Evaluation Board uses the Test/Application Circuit in 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.
