GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD199x is a two channel Bridge Tied Load (BTL)
switching audio power amplifier with integrated
The modulator accepts a 1Vrms input signal (maximum power)
and generates a switching waveform to drive speakers directly.
One of the two modulators can control both output stages
providing twice the current for single-channel applications. A
digital, microcontroller-compatible interface provides control of
reset, mute and PGA gain as well as output signals for thermal
and over-current error conditions. The output stage can operate
from supply voltages ranging from 8V to 20V. The analog
modulator and digital logic operate from a 5V supply.

AD199x Preliminary Technical Data
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
DEVICE ARCHITECTURE
The AD199x is an audio quality, switching amplifier with an
integrated sigma-delta modulator. The power stage of the
AD199x is arranged internally as four transistor pairs, which
are used as two H-bridge outputs to provide stereo
amplification. The transistor pairs are driven by the output of
the ∑∆ modulator. A user selectable non-overlap time is
provided between the switching of the high side transistor and
low side transistor to ensure that both transistors are never on at
the same time. The AD199x implements turn on pop
suppression to eliminates any pops or clicks following a reset
or un-mute.
Analog Input Section
The analog input section uses an internal amplifier to bias the
input signal to the reference level. A DC blocking capacitor
should be connected as shown in Figure 15 to remove any
external DC bias contained in the input signal

driving the OUTx pin. The nature of the inductors is to keep
current flowing. For example the OUTx pin may approach and
pass the PGND level to achieve this. When the voltage at the
OUTx pin is 0.7V below PGND the parasitic diode associated
with the low-side transistor will become forward biased and
turn on. When the high-side transistor turns on the voltage at
OUTx will rise to PVDD and will reverse bias the parasitic
diode. However, by its nature the parasitic diode has a long
reverse recovery time and current will continue to flow through
it to PGND thus causing the entire circuit to draw more current
than necessary. The addition of the schottky diodes prevents
this happening. When the OUTx pin goes more than 0.3V
below PGND the schottky diode becomes forward biased.
When the high-side transistor turns on the schottky diode
becomes reverse biased. The reverse recovery time of the
schottky diode is significantly faster than the parasitic diode so
far less current is wasted. A similar effect happens when the
inductor induces a current which drives the OUTx pin above
PVDD. Figure 16 shows how the external components of a
system are connected to the pins of the AD199x to form the Hbridge configuration.
AMPLIFIER GAIN
Selecting the Modulator Gain
The AD199x modulator can be thought of as a switching
analog amplifier with a voltage gain controlled by two external
resistors forming a resistor divider between the OUTxx pins
and PGND. The centre of the resistor divider is connected to
the appropriate feedback pin NFx. Selecting the gain along
with the PVDD Voltage will determine how much power can be
delivered to a load for a fixed input signal. The gain of the
modulator is controlled by the values of R1 and R2 (see Figure
16) according to the equation below.
Gain = (R1 + R2)/R2
Driving the H-Bridge
Each channel of the switching amplifier is controlled by a 4
transistor H-bridge to give a differential output stage. The
outputs of the H-bridges, OUTR+, OUTR-, OUTL+ and
OUTL- will switch between PVDD and PGND as determined
by the sigma delta modulator. The power supply that is used to
drive the power stage of the AD199x should be typically in the
range of +8 V to +20 V and should be capable of supplying
enough current to drive the load. This power supply is
connected across the PVDD and PGND pins. The feedback
pins, NFR+, NFR-, NFL+ and NFL-, are used to supply
negative feedback to the modulator. The pins are connected to
the outputs of the H-bridge via a resister divider network as
shown in Figure 16. See the section on Selecting the Modulator
Gain for more information.
External schottky diodes can be used to reduce power loss
during the non-overlap time when neither of the high-side or
low-side transistors is on. During this time neither transistor is
Rev. PrA – 1/20/05 | Page 10 of 16
The gain should be selected such that a 1Vrms input signal
doesn’t cause the modulator to generate an output signal which
has a peak to peak value greater than 90% of PVDD. Selecting
a gain that meets this criteria will ensure that the modulator
remains in a stable operating condition.

Preliminary Technical Data AD199x
Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA)
The AD199x incorporates a single-ended to differential
converter for each channel in the analog front-end section. Both
single-ended to differential converters feature a programmable
gain amplifier with four different gain settings. The gain is set
using the pins PGA1 and PGA0 as shown in Table 5. The
PGA1 and PGA0 pins are continuously monitored allow the
gain to be changed at any time.

SYSTEM DESIGN
Clocking
The AD199x has two clock pins, CLKI and CLKO which are
used to configure the clocking scheme for the device. The
AD199x should be driven by a clock which is 256 × f
is the desired sampling rate. If a crystal is to be used as the
clock source it should be connected across the CLKI and
CLKO pins as shown in Figure 17. Crystal Connection The
values and type of capacitors used will be determined by the
crystal manufacturer. A square-wave clock source may be
connected directly to the CLKI pin. The logic levels of the
square wave should be compatible with those defined in the
Digital I/O section of the specifications page.

Power-up Considerations
Careful power-up is necessary when using the AD199x to
ensure correct operation and avoid possible latch-up issues. The
AD199x should be powered-up with
RST/PDN
held low until all the power supplies have stabilized. Once the
supplies have stabilized the AD199x can be brought out of reset
by bringing
RST/PDN
high and then
MUTE
can be brought
and
where fS
S
MUTE
high as required.
On/Off/Mute Pop Noise Suppression
The AD199x features pop suppression which is activated when
the part is reset or taken out of mute. The pop suppression is
achieved by pulsing the power outputs to bring the outputs of
the LC filter from 0V to mid-scale in a controlled fashion. This
feature eliminates unwanted transients on both the outputs and
the high voltage power supply.
Thermal Protection
The AD199x features thermal protection. When the die
temperature exceeds approximately 135°C the Thermal
ERR1
Warning Error output (
) is asserted. If the die temperature
exceeds approximately 150°C the Thermal Shutdown Error
ERR2
output (
) is asserted. If this occurs, the part shuts down to
prevent damage to the part. When the die temperature drops
below approximately 120°C both error outputs are negated and
the part returns to normal operation.
Over-current Protection
The AD199x features over current or short circuit protection. If
the current through any power transistors exceeds 4A the part
goes into mute and the Over-current error output (
ERR0
) is
asserted. This is a latched error and does not clear
automatically. To clear the error condition and restore normal
operation, the part must be either reset, or
MUTE
must be
asserted and negated.
Application Considerations
Good board layout and decoupling are vital for correct
operation of the AD199x. Due to the fact that the part switches
high currents there is the potential for large PVDD bounce each
time a transistor transitions. This can cause unpredictable
operation of the part. To avoid this potential problem, close
chip decoupling is essential. It is also recommended that the
decoupling capacitors are placed on the same side of the board
as the AD199x, and connected directly to the PVDD and
PGND pins. By placing the decoupling capacitors on the other
side of the board and decoupling through vias the effectiveness
of the decoupling is reduced. This is because vias have
inductive properties and therefore prevent very fast discharge
of the decoupling capacitors. Best operation is achieved with at
least one decoupling capacitor on each side of the AD199x, or
optionally two capacitors per side can be used to further reduce
the series resistance of the capacitor. If these decoupling
recommendations cannot be followed and decoupling through
vias is the only option, the vias should be made as large as
possible to increase surface area, thereby reducing inductance
and resistance.
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the
human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.
