30V
PP
converter operates at a fixed frequency of 1.5MHz and provides a
17.5V supply with a minimum number of external components. The
three gain mode of 18dB, 22dB and 26dB is easy for using. PAM
unique ant i -saturat ion technology which detects output signal clip
due to the over level input signal suppress the output signal clip
automatically. PAM8902A features an integrated audio low pass filter
that rejects high frequency noise, thus improving audio fidelity.
PAM8902A also provides thermal, over current, under and over
voltage protection.
The PAM8902A is available in a 16-ball 1.95mm x 1.95mm CSP
package and 16-pin QFN4x4 package.

Gain setting function is only available in disable condition (ENA = low) and need to follow the sequence as pull ENA to low (disable the IC) first,

in fully differential amplifiers. The balance of the output on the reference voltage depends on matched ratios of the resistors. CMRR, PSRR, and
cancellation of the second harmonic distortion diminish if resistor mismatch occurs. Therefore, it is recommended to use 1% tolerance resistors
or better to keep the performance optimized. Matching is more important than overall tolerance. Resistor arrays with 1% matching can be used
with a tolerance greater than 1%.
Place the input resistors very close to the PAM8902A to limit noise injection on the high-impedance nodes. For optimal performance the gain
should be set to lower. Lower gain allows the PAM8902A to operate at its best, and keeps a high voltage at the input making the inputs less
susceptible to noise. In addition to these features, higher value of R
Anti-Saturation/Clipping Function
The anti-saturation circuitry detects the duty cycle of the PWM output. When the output starts to exhibit clipping, the gain is automatically

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, C
equation:
It is important to consider the value of C
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.

Π
Decoupling Capacitor
The PAM8902 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.
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 equivalent series-resistance (ESR) ceramic capacitor, typically
1µF is placed as close as possible to the device AVDD pin for the best operation. For filtering lower frequency noise signals, a large ceramic
capacitor of 10µF or greater placed near the AVDD supply trace is recommended.
External Schottky Diode
Use external schottky diode can get the best driving capability and efficiency.
Since internal power diode has limited driving capability, only in following conditions customer can remove the external schottky diode to reduce
the cost.

1. V
SET
2. The signal frequency less than 4KHz.
3. Haptic application (50–500Hz).
Shutdown Operation
In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, the PAM8902A contains shutdown circuitry amplifier off when a logic low is placed on the
ENA pin. By switching the ENA pin connected to GND, the PAM8902A supply current draw will be minimized in idle mode.
Under-Voltage Lock-Out (UVLO)
The PAM8902A incorporates circuitry designed to detect supply voltage. When the supply voltage drops to 2.2V or below, the PAM8902A goes
into a state of shutdown, and the device comes out of its shutdown state and restore to normal function only when reset the power supply or
ENA pin.
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)
Thermal protection on the PAM8902A 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, in this condition both OUTP and OUTN will become high impedance. This is not a latched fault. The thermal fault is
cleared once the temperature of the die decreased by 30°C. This large hysteresis will prevent motor boating sound well and the device begins
normal operation at this point with no external system interaction.
