8. Functional description

8.1 General

The TDA8950 is a two-channel audio power amplifier using class-D technology. The audio input signal is converted into a digital pulse width modulated signal via an
analog input stage and PWM modulator, see Figure 1. To enable the output power transistors to be driven, this digital PWM signal is applied to a control and handshake block and driver circuits for both the high side and low side. In this way a level shift is performed from the low power digital PWM signal (at logic levels) to a high power PWM signal that switches between the main supply lines.
A 2nd-order low-pass filter converts the PWM signal to an analog audio signal across the loudspeakers.

NXP Semiconductors
The TDA8950 one-chip class-D amplifier contains high power switches, drivers, timing and handshaking between the power switches and some control logic. Also an advanced protection strategy is implemented which contains several voltage protections, temperature protections and a maximum current protection to secure maximum system robustness.
The two audio channels of the TDA8950 each contain a PWM modulator, an analog feedback loop and a differential input stage. It also contains circuits common to both channels such as the oscillator, all reference sources, the mode interface and a digital timing manager.
The TDA8950 contains two independent amplifier channels with high output power, high efficiency, low distortion and low quiescent current. The amplifier channels can be connected in the following configurations:
Mono Bridge-Tied Load (BTL) amplifier
Stereo Single-Ended (SE) amplifiers
The amplifier system can be switched to one of three operating modes by pin MODE:
TDA8950
2 × 150 W class-D power amplifier
Standby mode; with a very low supply current
Mute mode; the amplifiers are operational, but the audio signal at the output is
suppressed by disabling the VI-converter input stages
Operating mode; the amplifiers are fully operational
To ensure pop noise-free start-up, the DC output offset voltage is applied gradually to the output at a level between Mute mode and Operating mode levels. The bias current setting of the VI converters is related to the voltage on pin MODE; in Mute mode the bias current setting of the VI converters is zero (VI converters disabled) and in Operating mode the bias current is at maximum. The time constant required to apply the DC output offset voltage gradually between Mute and Operating mode levels can be generated via an RC-network on pin MODE. An example of a switching circuit for driving pin MODE is illustrated in Figure 4. If the capacitor C is left out of the application, the voltage on pin MODE will be applied with a much smaller time-constant, which might result in audible pop noises during start-up (depending on DC output offset voltage and loudspeaker used).

In order to fully charge the coupling capacitors at the inputs, the amplifier will remain automatically in the Mute mode before switching to the Operating mode. A complete overview of the start-up timing is given in Figure 5.

8.2 Pulse width modulation frequency

The output signal of the amplifier is a PWM signal with a carrier frequency that typically lies between 300 kHz and 400 kHz. Using a 2nd-order LC demodulation filter in the application results in an analog audio signal across the loudspeaker. The carrier frequency is determined by an external resistor R pin VSSA. An optimal setting for the carrier frequency is between 300 kHz and 400 kHz.
Using an external resistor of 30 k on pin OSC, the carrier frequency is set to 345 kHz. For more details see Table 8.
If two or more class-D amplifiers are used in the same audio application, it is recommended that all devices operate at the same switching frequency by using an external clock circuit.
Due to an internal clock divider:
The external applied clock frequency must have the double frequency of the output
The duty cycle of the external clock is not critical for product performance.

8.3 Protections

The following protections are included in TDA8950:
Thermal protections:
Thermal FoldBack (TFB)OverTemperature Protection (OTP)
OverCurrent Protection (OCP, diagnostic via pin PROT)
Window Protection (WP)
Supply voltage protections:
UnderVoltage Protection (UVP)OverVoltage Protection (OVP)UnBalance Protection (UBP)
The reaction of the device to the different fault conditions differs per protection.

8.3.1 Thermal protection

In the TDA8950 an advanced thermal protection strategy is implemented. It consists of a TFB function that gradually reduces the out put power within a certain temperature range. When temperature is still rising an OTP is implemented which shuts down the device completely.
8.3.1.1 Thermal FoldBack (TFB)
If the junction temperature Tj exceeds a defined threshold value, the gain is gradually reduced. This will result in a smaller output signal and less dissipation. Eventually the temperature will stabilize.

8.3.2 OverCurrent Protection (OCP)

If a short-circuit is applied to one of the demodulated outputs of the amplifier, the OCP will detect this. If the output current exceeds the maximum of 9.2 A, it is automatically limited to its maximum value by the OCP protection circuit. The amplifier outputs remain switching (the amplifier is NOT shut-down completely). If the active current limiting continues longer than time τ, the TDA8950 shuts down. Activation of current limiting and the triggering of the OCP are observed at pin PROT.
The amplifier can distinguish between an impedance drop of the loudspeaker and a low-ohmic short-circuit across the load. In the TDA8950 the impedance threshold (Zth) depends on the supply voltage used.
When a short-circuit is made across the load, causing the impedance to drop below the threshold level (<Zth), the amplifier is switched off completely and, after a time of 100 ms, it will try to restart. If the short-circuit condition is still present after this time, the cycle will be repeated. The average dissipation will be low because of this low duty cycle.

Preliminary data sheet Rev. 01 — 9 September 2008 9 of 39
NXP Semiconductors
Should there be an impedance drop (e.g. due to dynamic behavior of the loudspeaker) the same protection will be activated. The maximum output current will again be limited to
9.2 A, but the amplifier will not switch-off completely (thus preventing audio holes from occurring).
The result will be a clipping output signal. See Section 13.7 for more information on this maximum output current limiting feature.

8.3.3 Window Protection (WP)

The WP checks the conditions at the output terminals of the power stage and is activated:
During the start-up sequence, when pin MODE is switched from standby to mute. In
When the amplifier is completely shut-down due to activation of the OCP because a
TDA8950
2 × 150 W class-D power amplifier
the event of a short-circuit at one of the output terminals to pin VDDPn or pin VSSPn the start-up procedure is interrupted and the TDA8950 waits until the short-circuit to the supply lines has been removed. Because the test is done before enabling the power stages, no large currents will flow in an event of short-circuit.
short-circuit to one of the supply lines is made, then during restart (after 100 ms) the WP will be activated. As a result the amplifier will not start-up until the short-circuit to the supply lines is removed.

8.3.4 Supply voltage protections

If the supply voltage drops below minimum supply voltage, the UVP circuit is activated and the system will shutdown correctly. If the internal clock is used, this switch-off will be silent and without pop noise. When the supply voltage rises above the threshold level, the system is restarted again after 100 ms.
If the supply voltage exceeds maximum supply voltage, the OVP circuit is activated and the power stages will shutdown. When the supply voltage drops below the threshold level, the system is restarted again after 100 ms.
An additional UBP circuit compares the positive analog (voltage on pin VDDA) and the negative analog (voltage on pin VSSA) supply voltage and is triggered if the voltage difference exceeds a factor of two.
When the supply voltage difference drops below the threshold level, the system is restarted again after 100 ms.
Example: With a symmetrical supply of ±30 V, the protection circuit will be triggered if the unbalance exceeds approximately 15 V. See Section 13.7.
In Table 4 an overview is given of all protections and their respective effects on the output signal.

Fora high common mode rejection ratio and a maximum of flexibility in the application, the audio inputs are fully differential.
There are two possibilities:
For stereo operation it is advised to use the inputs in anti phase and also to connect
the speakers in anti phase (to avoid acoustical phase differences). This construction has several advantages:
The peak current in the power supply is minimizedThe supply pumping effect is minimized, especially at low audio frequencies
For mono BTL operation it is required that the inputs are connected in anti parallel.
The output of one of the channels is inverted and the speaker load is now connected between the two outputs of the TDA8950. In principle the output power to the speaker can be significantly boosted to two times the output power in single ended stereo.
The input configuration for a mono BTL application is illustrated in Figure 7.

13. Application information

13.1 Mono BTL application

When using the power amplifier in a mono BTL application the inputs of both channels must be connected in parallel and the phase of one of the inputs must be inverted (see
Figure 7). In principle the loudspeaker can be connected between the outputs of the two
single-ended demodulation filters.

13.2 Pin MODE

For pop noise-free start-up, an RC time-constant must be applied on pin MODE. The bias-current setting of the VI-converter input is directly related to the voltage on pin MODE. In turn the bias-current setting of the VI converters is directly related to the DC output offset voltage. Thus a slow dV/dt on pin MODE results in a slow dV/dt for the DC output offset voltage, resulting in pop noise-free start-up. A time-constant of 500 ms is sufficient to guarantee pop noise-free start-up (see also Figure 4, 5 and 8).

13.4 External clock

For duty cycle independent operation of the device, the external clock input frequency is internally divided by two. This implies that the frequency of the external clock is as twice as high as the internal clock (typical 2 × 345 kHz = 690 kHz).
If two or more class-D amplifiers are used it is recommended that all devices run at the same switching frequency. This can be realized by connecting all OCS pins together and feeding them from an external oscillator. When applying an external oscillator, it is necessary to force pin OSC to a DC level above SGND. The internal oscillator is disabled and the PWM modulator will switch with half the externally applied frequency.
The internal oscillator requires an external resistor R
ext(OSC)
pin OSC and PIN VSSA. The noise contribution of the internal oscillator is supply voltage dependent. An external
low noise oscillator is recommended for low noise applications running at high supply voltage.

13.5 Noise

Noise should be measured using a high order low-pass filter with a cut-off frequency of 20 kHz. The standard audio band pass filters, used in audio analyzers, do not suppress the residue of the carrier frequency sufficiently to ensure a reliable measurement of the audible noise. Noise measurements should preferably be carried out using AES 17 (‘brickwall’) filters or an audio precision AUX 0025 filter, which was designed specifically for measuring class-D switching amplifiers.

13.6 Heatsink requirements

In many applications it may be necessary to connect an external heatsink to the TDA8950.

NXP Semiconductors
The audio signal has a crest factor of 10 (the ratio between peak power and average power (20 dB)), this means that the average output power is1⁄10 of the peak power.
In this case, the peak RMS output power level would be the 0.5 % THD level, i.e. 220 W. The average power would then be1⁄10× 220W=22W. The dissipated power at an output power of 22 W is approximately 5 W.

The de-rating curves (given for several values of R maximum junction temperature Tj= 150 °C is taken into account. From Figure 9 the maximum allowable power dissipation for a given heatsink size can be derived or the required heatsink size can be determined at a required dissipation level.

13.7 Output current limiting

To guarantee the robustness of the TDA8950, the maximum output current that can be delivered by the output stage is limited. An advanced OverCurrent Protection (OCP) is included for each output power switch.
When the current flowing through any of the power switches exceeds the defined internal threshold current of 9.2 A (e.g. in case of a short-circuit to the supply lines or a short-circuit across the load), the maximum output current of the amplifier will be regulated to 9.2 A.
th(h-a)
th(j-a)
) are illustrated in Figure 9. A
th(j-a)
would then
The TDA8950 amplifier can distinguish between a low-ohmic short-circuit condition and other over current conditions like dynamic impedance drops of the loudspeakers used. The impedance threshold (Zth) depends on the supply voltage used.
Depending on the impedance of the short-circuit, the amplifier will react as follows:
Short-circuit impedance > Z
: The maximum output current of the amplifier is
th
regulated to 9.2 A, but the amplifier will not shut-down its PWM outputs. Effectively this results in a clipping output signal across the load (behavior is very similar to voltage clipping).
Short-circuit impedance < Z
: The amplifier will limit the maximum output current to
th
9.2 A and at the same time the capacitor on pin PROT is discharged. When the voltage across this capacitor drops below an internal threshold voltage, the amplifier will shutdown completely and an internal timer will be started.
A typical value for the capacitor on pin PROT is 220 pF. After a fixed time of 100 ms the amplifier is switched on again. If the requested output current is still too high, the amplifier will switch-off again. Thus the amplifier will try to switch to the Operating mode every

NXP Semiconductors
100 ms. The averagedissipation will be low in this situation because of this low duty cycle. If the over current condition is removed the amplifier will remain in Operating mode after being restarted. In this way the TDA8950 amplifier is fully protected against short-circuit conditions while at the same time so-called audio holes, as a result of loudspeaker impedance drops, are eliminated.

13.8 Pumping effects

In a typical stereo half-bridge SE application the TDA8950 is supplied by a symmetrical voltage (e.g. VDD= +35 V and VSS= 35 V). When the amplifier is used in an SE configuration, a ‘pumping effect’ can occur. During one switching interval, energy is taken from one supply (e.g. VDD), while a part of that energy is returned to the other supply line (e.g. VSS) and vice versa. When the voltage supply source cannot sink energy,the voltage across the output capacitors of that voltage supply source will increase and the supply voltage is pumped to higher levels. The voltage increase caused by the pumping effect depends on:
Speaker impedance
Supply voltage
Audio signal frequency
Value of decoupling capacitors on supply lines
Source and sink currents of other channels
TDA8950
2 × 150 W class-D power amplifier
When applying the TDA8950, measures must be taken within the application to minimize the pumping effect and prevent malfunctions of either the audio amplifier and/or the voltage supply source. Amplifier malfunction due to the pumping effect can cause triggering of the UVP, OVP or UBP.
The best remedy against pumping effects is to use the TDA8950 in a mono full-bridge application or, in the case of stereo half-bridge applications, adapt the power supply (e.g. increase supply decoupling capacitors).

13.9 Application schematics

Notes for the application schematic:
A solid ground plane connected to V
prevent emission.
100 nF capacitors must be placed as close as possible to the power supply pins of the
TDA8950.
The internal heat spreader of the TDA8950 is internally connected to V
The external heatsink must be connected to the ground plane.
Use a thermally conductive, electrically non-conductive, Sil-Pad between the backside
of the TDA8950 and a small external heatsink.
The differential inputs enable the best system level audio performance with
unbalanced signal sources. In case of hum, due to floating inputs, connect the shielding or source ground to the amplifier ground. Jumpers J1 and J2 are open on set level and are closed on the stand-alone demo board.
Minimum total required capacitance per power supply line is 3300 µF.

13.10 Layout and grounding

To obtain a high-level system performance, certain grounding techniques are essential. The input reference grounds have to be tied with their respective source grounds and must have separate tracks from the power ground tracks. This will prevent the large (output) signal currents from interfering with the small AC input signals. The small-signal ground tracks should be physically located as far as possible from the power ground tracks. Supply and output tracks should be as wide as possible for delivering maximum output power.

15. Soldering of SMD packages

This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note
soldering description”

15.1 Introduction to soldering

Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high densities that come with increased miniaturization.
15.2 Wave and reflow soldering
Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:
.
TDA8950
2 × 150 W class-D power amplifier
AN10365 “Surface mount reflow
Through-hole components
Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also, leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered, due to an increased probability of bridging.
The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages, packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable.
Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:
Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias
Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation
The moisture sensitivity level of the packages
Package placement
Inspection and repair
Lead-free soldering versus SnPb soldering

15.3 Wave soldering

Key characteristics in wave soldering are:
Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are exposed to the wave
Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities

15.4 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to
Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process
Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is

higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 31) than a SnPb process, thus reducing the process window
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak temperature is high enough forthe solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with
Table 11 and 12
Volume (mm3) < 350 350
Table 12. Lead-free process (from J-STD-020C)
Package thickness (mm) Package reflow temperature (°C)
Volume (mm3) < 350 350 to 2000 > 2000
< 1.6 260 260 260
1.6 to 2.5 260 250 245 > 2.5 250 245 245
Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all times.
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow soldering, see Figure 31.
