Description
The PAM8012 is a 2.0W mono filterless class-D amplifier with high
PSRR and differential input that reduce noise.
Features like 90% efficiency and small PCB area make the PAM8012
Class-D amplifier ideal for cellular handsets. The filterless architecture
requires no external output filter, fewer external components, less
PCB area and lower system costs, and simplifies application design.
The PAM8012 features anti-saturation function which detect output
signal clip due to the over input level and keep the output non-
saturation automatically to get the excellent sound quality.
The maximum output power without clip can be set by one resistor at
PL pin that to prevent the speaker to be damaged.
The PAM8012 features short circuit protection and over temperature
protection.
The PAM8012 is available in tiny WCSP9 (1.3mm x 1.3mm) and
eMSOP10 packages.

Notes: 1. The AP AUX-0025 low pass filter is necessary for class-D amplifier measurement with AP analyzer.
2. Two 33μH inductors are used in series with load resistor to emulate the small speaker for efficiency measurement.
Anti-Saturation
The Anti-saturation feature provides continuous automatic gain adjustment to the amplifier through an internal circuit. This feature enhances the
perceived audio loudness and at the same time prevents speaker damage from occurring.
The Anti-saturation works by detecting the output. The gain changes depending on the supply voltage, and the attack and release time. The
gain changes constantly as the audio signal increases and/or decreases. The gain step size for the Anti-saturation is 0.4 dB. If the audio signal
has near-constant amplitude, the gain does not change. Table 1 shows the Anti-saturation variable description.

Application Information (cont.)
Input Capacitors (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 the minimum input impedance R
equation:
1
It is important to consider the value of CI as it directly affects the low frequency performance of the circuit. For example, the specification calls
for a flat bass response are down to 150Hz.
Equation is reconfigured as followed:
When input resistance variation is considered, the C
capacitor is the leakage path from the input source through the input network (C
voltage at the input to the amplifier that reduces useful headroom, especially in high gain applications. 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 is held at V
capacitor polarity in the application.

Decoupling Capacitor (CS)
The PAM8012 is a high-performance CMOS audio amplifier that requires adequate power supply decoupling to ensure the output total
harmonic distortion (THD) as low as possible. Power supply decoupling also prevents the oscillations causing by long lead length between the
amplifier and the speaker.
The optimum decoupling is achieved by using two different types of capacitors that target on different types of noise on the power supply leads.
For higher frequency transients, spikes, or digital hash on the line, a good low equivalentseries- resistance (ESR) ceramic capacitor, typically
1µF, is placed as close as possible to V

How to Reduce EMI
Most applications require a ferrite bead filter for EMI elimination shown at Figure 1. The ferrite filter reduces EMI around 1MHz and higher.

Shutdown Operation
In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, the PAM8012 contains shutdown circuitry that is used to turn off the amplifier’s bias
circuitry. This shutdown feature turns the amplifier off when logic low is placed on the EN pin. By switching the EN pin connected to GND, the
PAM8012 supply current draw will be minimized in idle mode.
Short Circuit Protection (SCP)
The PAM8012 has short circuit protection circuitry on the outputs to prevent the device from damage when output-to-output shorts or output-to-
GND shorts occur. When a short circuit occurs, the device immediately goes into shutdown state. Once the short is removed, the device will be
reactivated.

Application Information (cont.)
Over Temperature Protection (OTP)
Thermal protection on the PAM8012 prevents the device from damage when the internal die temperature exceeds +150°C. There is a +15°C
tolerance on this trip point from device to device. Once the die temperature exceeds the set point, the device will enter the shutdown state and
the outputs are disabled. This is not a latched fault. The thermal fault is cleared once the temperature of the die decreased by +40°C. This large
hysteresis will prevent motor boating sound well and the device begins normal operation at this point with no external system interaction.
POP and Click Circuitry
The PAM8012 contains circuitry to minimize turnon and turn-off transients or “click and pops”, where turn-on refers to either power supply turn-
on or device recover from shutdown mode. When the device is turned on, the amplifiers are internally muted. An internal current source ramps
up the reference voltage. The device will remain in mute mode until the reference voltage reach half supply voltage, ½ V
reference voltage is stable the device will begin full operation. For the best power-off pop performance, the amplifier should be set in shutdown
mode prior to removing the power supply voltage.
PCB Layout Guidelines
Grounding
It is recommended to use plane grounding. Noise currents in the output power stage need to be returned to output noise ground and nowhere
else. When these currents circulate elsewhere, they may get into the power supply, or the signal ground, etc, even worse, they may form a loop
and radiate noise. Any of these instances results in degraded amplifier performance. The output noise ground that the logical returns for the
output noise currents with Class-D switching must tie to system ground at the power exclusively. Signal currents for the inputs, reference need
to be returned to quite ground. This ground only ties to the signal components and the GND pin. GND then ties to system ground.
Power Supply Line
It is recommended that all the trace could be routed as short and thick as possible. For the power line layout, just imagine water stream, any
barricade placed in the trace (shown in Figure 2) could result in the bad performance of the amplifier.
. As soon as the

Input resistors and capacitors need to be placed very close to input pins.
