Introduction
The IRAUDAMP18 reference design is a two-channel, 35W/ch half-bridge Class D audio power
amplifier with single power supply. This reference design demonstrates how to use the IR4312 IC
with single power supply, implement protection circuits, and design an optimum PCB layout using
PowIRaudio integrated Class D IC. This reference design does not require additional heatsink or fan
cooling for normal operation (one-eighth of continuous rated power).The reference design provides all
the required housekeeping power supplies for ease of use. The two-channel design is scalable for
power and the number of channels.
Applications
Docking station audio systems
PC audio systems
Musical instruments
Karaoke amplifiers
Game consoles
Powered speaker systems
Car audio amplifiers
Features
Output Power: 35W x 2 channels (4Ω load)
Multiple Protection Features: Over-current protection (OCP), high side and low side
Over-voltage protection (OVP),
Under-voltage protection (UVP), high side and low side
Over-temperature protection (OTP)
PWM Modulator: Self-oscillating half-bridge topology

Test Procedures
Test Setup:
1. Connect 4 , 100W load to both output connectors, P1 and P2 and audio analyzer (Ap).
2. Connect Audio Signal Generator to CN1 for CH1 and CH2 respectively (Ap).
3. Connect a single power supply to P3 pre-adjusted to 18-31V as shown on Figure above
4. Turn on the power supply.
5. Turn on SW1(right side).
6. Blue LED (Normal) stays turning on after RED LED extinguished.
7. With an Oscilloscope, monitor switching waveform at VS of CH1 and CH2.
8. Quiescent current for the power supply should be 70mA 10mA at 31V.
Functionality Audio Tests:
9. Sweep the audio signal voltage from 15 mV
to 1.5 V
RMS
10. Monitor the output signals at P1/P2 with an oscilloscope. The waveform must be a non
distorted sinusoidal signal with input sinusoidal signal below 1Vrms.
