8. Functional description

The TDA8945S is a mono BTL audio power ampliﬁer capable of delivering 15 W output power to an 8 Ω load at THD = 10%, using an 18 V power supply and an external heatsink. The voltage gain is ﬁxed at 32 dB.

With the three-level MODE input the device can be switched from ‘standby’ to ‘mute’ and to ‘operating’ mode.

The TDA8945S outputs are protected by an internal thermal shutdown protection mechanism and a short-circuit protection.

8.1 Input conﬁguration

The TDA8945S inputs can be driven symmetrical (ﬂoating) as well as asymmetrical. In the asymmetrical mode one input pin is connected via a capacitor to the signal ground which should be as close as possible to the SVR (electrolytic) capacitor ground. Note that the DC level of the input pins is half of the supply voltage VCC, so coupling capacitors for both pins are necessary.

The input cut-off frequency is:

For Ri=45kΩ and Ci= 220 nF:

i cut off–()

As shown in Equation 1 and 2, large capacitor values for the inputs are not necessary; so the switch-on delay during charging of the input capacitors, can be minimized. This results in a good low frequency response and good switch-on behaviour.

Remark: To prevent HF oscillations do not leavethe inputs open, connect a capacitor of at least 1.5 nF across the input pins close to the device.

8.2 Power ampliﬁer

The power ampliﬁer is a Bridge Tied Load (BTL) ampliﬁer with an all-NPN output stage, capable of delivering a peak output current of 2 A.

The BTL principle offers the following advantages:

Lower peak value of the supply current

•

The ripple frequency on the supply voltage is twice the signal frequency

•

No expensive DC-blocking capacitor

•

Good low frequency performance.

•

8.2.1 Output power measurement

The output power as a function of the supply voltage is measured on the output pins at THD = 10%; see Figure 8. The maximum output power is limited by the maximum supply voltage of 18 V and the maximum availableoutput current: 2 A repetitive peak current.

8.2.2 Headroom

Typical CD music requires at least 12 dB (factor 15.85) dynamic headroom – compared to the average power output – for transferring the loudest parts without distortion. At VCC=18V, RL=8Ω and Po= 10 W at THD = 0.1% (see Figure 6), the Average Listening Level (ALL) – music power – without any distortion yields:

The power dissipation can be derived from Figure 11 on page 10 for 0 dB respectively 12 dB headroom.

Table 4: Power rating as function of headroom

Headroom Power output (THD = 0.1%) Power dissipation (P)

0dB P 12 dB P

For the average listening level a power dissipation of 4 W can be used for a heatsink calculation.

= 10 W/15.85 = 631 mW.

8.3 Mode selection

The TDA8945S has three functional modes, which can be selected by applying the proper DC voltage to pin MODE. See Figure 4 and 5 for the respective DC levels, which depend on the supply voltage level. The MODE pin can be driven by a 3-state logic output stage: e.g. a microcontroller with additional components for DC-level shifting.

Standby — In this mode the current consumption is very low and the outputs are ﬂoating. The device is in standby mode when (VCC− 0.5 V) < V the MODE pin is left ﬂoating (high impedance). The power consumption of the TDA8945S will be reduced to <0.18 mW.

Mute — In this mode the ampliﬁer is DC-biased but not operational (no audio output);

the DC level of the input and output pins remain on half the supply voltage. This

allows the input coupling and Supply Voltage Ripple Rejection (SVRR) capacitors to be charged to avoid pop-noise. The device is in mute mode when 3V<V

Operating — In this mode the ampliﬁer is operating normally. The operating mode is activated at V

8.3.1 Switch-on and switch-off

To avoid audible plops during supply voltage switch-on or switch-off, the device is set to standby mode before the supply voltage is applied (switch-on) or removed (switch-off).

MODE

, or when

The switch-on and switch-off time can be inﬂuenced by an RC-circuit on the MODE pin. Rapid on/off switching of the device or the MODE pin may cause ‘click- and pop-noise’. This can be prevented by proper timing of the RC-circuit on the MODE pin.

8.4 Supply Voltage Ripple Rejection (SVRR)

The SVRR is measured with an electrolytic capacitor of 10 µF on pin SVR at a bandwidth of 10 Hz to 80 kHz. Figure 12 on page 11 illustrates the SVRR as function of the frequency.A larger capacitor value on the SVR pin improvesthe ripple rejection behaviour at the lower frequencies.

8.5 Built-in protection circuits

The TDA8945S contains two types of protection circuits, i.e. short-circuit and thermal shutdown.

8.5.1 Short-circuit protection

Short-circuit to ground or supply line — This is detected by a so-called ‘missing

current’ detection circuit which measures the current in the positive supply line and the current in the ground line. A difference between both currents larger than 0.7 A, switches the power stage to standby mode (high impedance).

Short-circuit across the load — This is detected by an absolute-current measurement. An absolute-current larger than 3 A, switches the power stage to standby mode (high impedance).

9. Limiting values

The junction temperature is measured by a temperature sensor; at a junction temperature of approximately 150 °C this detection circuit switches the power stage to standby mode (high impedance).
