APPLICATION NOTES
OVERVIEW
The SSM2302 stereo Class-D audio amplifier features a filterless
modulation scheme that greatly reduces the external components
count, conserving board space and thus reducing systems cost.
The SSM2302 does not require an output filter, but instead relies
on the inherent inductance of the speaker coil and the natural
filtering of the speaker and human ear to fully recover the audio
component of the square-wave output. While most Class-D amplifiers use some variation of pulse-width modulation (PWM), the
SSM2302 uses a Σ-Δ modulation to determine the switching
pattern of the output devices. This provides a number of important
benefits. Σ-Δ modulators do not produces a sharp peak with
many harmonics in the AM frequency band, as pulse-width
modulators often do. Σ-Δ modulation provides the benefits of
reducing the amplitude of spectral components at high frequencies;
that is, reducing EMI emission that might otherwise be radiated
by speakers and long cable traces. The SSM2302 also offers
protection circuits for overcurrent and temperature protection.
GAIN SELECTION
Pulling the GAIN pin high of the SSM2302 sets the gain of the
speaker amplifier to 12 dB; pulling it low sets the gain of the
speaker amplifier to 6 dB.
It is possible to adjust the SSM2302 gain by using external resistors
t the input. To set a gain lower than 12 dB refer to Figure 22 for
a
ferential input configuration and Figure 23 for single-ended
dif
co
nfiguration. For external gain configuration from a fixed 12 dB
gain, please use the following formula:
External Gain Settings = 20 log[4/(1 + R/150 kΩ)]
To set a gain lower than 6 dB refer to Figure 24 for differential
put configuration and Figure 25 for single-ended configuration.
in
or external gain configuration from a fixed 6 dB gain, use the
F
following formula:
External Gain Settings = 20 log[2/(1 + R/150 kΩ)]
POP-AND-CLICK SUPPRESSION
Voltage transients at the output of audio amplifiers can occur when
shutdown is activated or deactivated. Voltage transients as low
as 10 mV can be heard as an audio pop in the speaker. Clicks
and pops can also be classified as undesirable audible transients
generated by the amplifier system, therefore as not coming from
the system input signal. Such transients can be generated when
the amplifier system changes its operating mode. For example, the
following can be sources of audible transients: system power-up/
power-down, mute/unmute, input source change, and sample rate
change. The SSM2302 has a pop-and-click suppression architecture
that reduces this output transients, resulting in noiseless activation
and deactivation.
EMI NOISE
The SSM2302 uses a proprietary modulation and spreadspectrum technology to minimize EMI emissions from the
device. Figure 26 shows SSM2302 EMI emission starting from
100 kH
z to 30 MHz. Figure 27 shows SSM2302 EMI emission
f
rom 30 kHz to 2 GHz. These figures clearly describe the SSM2302
EMI behavior as being well below the FCC regulation values,
starting from 100 kHz and passing beyond 1 GHz of frequency.
Although the overall EMI noise floor is slightly higher, frequency
spurs from the SSM2302 are greatly reduced.

LAYOUT
As output power continues to increase, care needs to be taken to
lay out PCB traces and wires properly between the amplifier,
load, and power supply. A good practice is to use short, wide
PCB tracks to decrease voltage drops and minimize inductance.
Make track widths at least 200 mil for every inch of track length
for lowest DCR, and use 1 oz or 2 oz of copper PCB traces to
further reduce IR drops and inductance. A poor layout
increases voltage drops, consequently affecting efficiency. Use
large traces for the power supply inputs and amplifier outputs to
minimize losses due to parasitic trace resistance. Proper
grounding guidelines helps to improve audio performance,
minimize crosstalk between channels, and prevent switching
noise from coupling into the audio signal. To maintain high
output swing and high peak output power, the PCB traces that
connect the output pins to the load and supply pins should be as
wide as possible to maintain the minimum trace resistances. It
is also recommended to use a large-area ground plane for
minimum impedances. Good PCB layouts also isolate critical
analog paths from sources of high interference. High frequency
circuits (analog and digital) should be separated from low
frequency ones. Properly designed multilayer printed circuit
boards can reduce EMI emission and increase immunity to RF
field by a factor of 10 or more compared with double-sided
boards. A multilayer board allows a complete layer to be used
for ground plane, whereas the ground plane side of a doubleside board is often disrupted with signal crossover. If the system
has separate analog and digital ground and power planes, the
analog ground plane should be underneath the analog power
plane, and, similarly, the digital ground plane should be
underneath the digital power plane. There should be no overlap
between analog and digital ground planes nor analog and
digital power planes.
INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
The SSM2302 will not require input coupling capacitors if the
input signal is biased from 1.0 V to V
capacitors are required if the input signal is not biased within
this recommended input dc common-mode voltage range, if
high-pass filtering is needed (
d source (Figure 21). If high-pass filtering is needed at the
ende
i
nput, the input capacitor along with the input resistor of the
SSM2302 will form a high-pass filter whose corner frequency is
determined by the following equation:
= 1/(2π × RIN × CIN)
f
C
Input capacitor can have very important effects on the circuit
p
erformance. Not using input capacitors degrades the output
offset of the amplifier as well as the PSRR performance.
Figure 20), or if using a single-
− 1.0 V. Input
DD
PROPER POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING
To ensure high efficiency, low total harmonic distortion (THD),
and high PSRR, proper power supply decoupling is necessary.
Noise transients on the power supply lines are short-duration
voltage spikes. Although the actual switching frequency can
range from 10 kHz to 100 kHz, these spikes can contain
frequency components that extend into the hundreds of
megahertz. The power supply input needs to be decoupled with
a good quality low ESL and low ESR capacitor—usually around
4.7 μF. This capacitor bypasses low frequency noises to the
ground plane. For high frequency transients noises, use a 0.1 μF
capacitor as close as possible to the VDD pin of the device.
Placing the decoupling capacitor as close as possible to the
SSM2302 helps maintain efficiency performance.

EVALUATION BOARD INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
The SSM2302 audio power amplifier is a complete low power,
Class-D, stereo audio amplifier capable of delivering 1.4 W/channel
into 8 Ω load. In addition to the minimal parts required for the
application circuit, measurement filters are provided on the
evaluation board so that conventional audio measurements can
be made without additional components.
This section provides an overview of Analog Devices SSM2302
e
valuation board. It includes a brief description of the board as
well as a list of the board specifications.

OPERATION
Use the following steps when operating the SSM2302
evaluation board.
Power and Ground
1. Set the power supply voltage between 2.5 V and 5.0 V. When
connecting the power supply to the SSM2302 evaluation
board, make sure to attach the ground connection to the
GND header pin first and then connect the positive supply
to the VDD header pin.
Inputs and Outputs
1. Ensure that the audio source is set to the minimum level.
Gain Control
The gain select header controls the gain setting of the SSM2302.
1. S
elect jumper to LG for 6 dB gain.
elect jumper to HG for 12 dB gain.
2. S
External Gain Settings
It is possible to adjust the SSM2302 gain using external resistors
at the input. To set a gain lower than 12 dB refer to Figure 22
nd Figure 23 on the product data sheet for proper circuit con-
a
f
iguration. For external gain configuration from a fixed 12 dB
gain, use the following formula:
External Gain Settings = 20 log[4/(1 + R/150 kΩ)]
To set a gain lower than 6 dB refer to Figure 24 and Figure 25
n the product data sheet for proper circuit configuration. For
o
external gain configuration from a fixed 6 dB gain, use the
following formula:
External Gain Settings = 20 log[2/(1 + R/150 kΩ)]
Shutdown Control
The shutdown select header controls the shutdown function of
the SSM2302. The shutdown pin on the SSM2302 is active low,
meaning that a low voltage (GND) on this pin places the SSM2302
into shutdown mode.
1. S
elect jumper to 1-2 position. Shutdown pulled to V
2. S
elect jumper to 2-3 position. Shutdown pulled to GND.
Input Configurations
1. For differential input configuration with input capacitors
do not place a jumper on JP8, JP9, JP10, and JP11.
