BD5466GUL is a monaural Class-D speaker amplifier that contained ALC function for mobile phone, portable type
electronic devices etc. LC filter of speaker output is not needed, can form monaural speaker amplifier. with 3 external parts.
ALC, short for A
(clip) of output wave form during excessive input. The time until the limit release operation of output level is called the
release time (or recovery time). This IC adopts high-speed release time (4ms/1dB Typ.) and suits the application which
repeats big volume in the short time such as the camera shutter sound.
Through Class-D operation, efficiency is high low power consumption, that is why it’s suitable for battery drive application.
The current consumption during shutdown when lowered to 0.01μA(Typ.), from the shutdown to the operation time is early
and at the same time pop sound is few that is why its also suitable in repeating active and shutdown.

The gain switch timing during ALC operation occurs at zero cross point of audio output voltage.
For that, attack time, release time will change at input frequency “fin”.
ALC Parameter is fixed. ALC operation doesn’t correspond to noise of impulse.
Audio characteristics can be measured to insert LC filter between output pin and speaker load, if you don’t have
measurement equipment for switching amplifier, like AUX-0025, Audio Precision.
Arrange the LC filter directly close to output pin.
In case of L=22μH, C=1μF, cut off frequency becomes:

○About single end input
・Input is possible whether IN+ or IN- Pin.
Don’t make input pin open, through the input coupling capacitor, please connect to GND as seen on the example above.
Audio input pin should make “mute” condition, not “open” condition when you don’t input any signal.
・During single end input IN+ and IN-, there is a difference with the phase relation of input and output.
Because of differential amplifier, if input (IN+ - IN-), output(OUT+ - OUT-), the audio input and output phase relation will
become:
When Input Level is calculated at IC typical and audio source typical, when input coupling capacitor (Ci) value is large
enough, every gain during the differential input and single end input will become:

1.IC reference(Difference Input, Single End Input): Formula ①
VIN means the Input Voltage between IC Input Pin (IN+, IN-), VOUT means the output voltage between IC Output Pin
(OUT+, OUT-). During differential input and single end input, the gain calculation formula at IC reference which
includes ALC operation is written below:
IN+/- (A1, C1 Pin) is shown below. The cut frequency of input LPF, together with the single end input and differential input
is written below:

1) During single end input
When LPF is connected to audio input pin at single end input setting, at start-up characteristics of audio input pin IN+/-,
during start-up with unbalance (power supply ON/OFF, or shutdown ON/OFF), there is a risk that POP sound will occur
so please be careful.
When no audio input, and in order to prevent output noise, please make previous IC “mute” condition, not “open”
condition. Please refer at the same time to POP Sound countermeasure example.
External LPF Resistor R
The bigger the resistor value of LPF resistor R
which is composed of IC input resistor Ri, forms input impedance.
LPF
the more it will decrease the gain.
LPF,
When the input capacitor Ci has enough large capacity value, the relation among external LPF resistor R
IC input resistor Ri and Gain will become:
Gain = 20×log | Rf / (Ri + R
) | [dB]
LPF
Input resistor Ri of BD5466GUL and resistor value of feedback resistor Rf will become the following below,
during ALC operation, changes at ±1dB step, and becomes 16 stages switch specs.
※Power Supply terminals VDD(B1), PVDD(B2) are SHORT in the board pattern and use a single power.

●About the external part
①Input coupling capacitor (C1, C2)
Input coupling capacitor is 0.1μF.
Input impedance during maximum gain 18dB is 33.5kΩ (Typ.). A high-pass filter is composed by the input coupling
capacitor and the input impedance.
Cut-off frequency”fc” by the formula below, through input coupling capacitor C1(=C2) and input impedance Ri.
fc
1
[Hz]
C1Ri2π
In case of Ri=33.5kΩ, C1(=C2)=0.1μF, cut-off frequency is about 48Hz
②Power Supply Decoupling Capacitor (C3)
Power Supply Decoupling Capacitor is 10uF. When the capacity value of Power Supply Decoupling Capacitor is made
small, it will have an influence to the audio characteristics. When making it small, be careful with the audio characteristics
at actual application. ESR (equivalent series resistor) is low enough; please use capacitor with capacity value of 1μF or
more.
The IC Characteristics has a big relation with the temperature that will be used, to exceed the maximum tolerance junction
temperature, can deteriorate and destroy it. Instant destruction and long-time operation, from these 2 standpoints, there is a
need to be careful with regards to IC thermal. Please be careful with the next points.
The absolute maximum rating of IC shows the maximum junction temperature (Tj
MAX.) or the operation temperature range
(Topr), so refer to this value, use Pd-Ta characteristics (Thermal reduction ratio curve). If input signal is excessive at a state
where heat radiation is not sufficient, there will be TSD(Thermal Shutdown)
For TSD, the chip temperature operates at around 180℃, releases if its around 120℃ or less. Since the aim is to prevent
damage on the chip, please be careful because the long use time at the vicinity where TSD operates can deteriorate the
dependency of the IC.
Note : This value is the real measurement, but not the guaranteed value.
The value of power dissipation changes based on the board that will be mounted.
The power dissipation of main IC during the heat dissipation design of many mounted boards, will become bigger than
the value of the above graph.
(1) The numerical value and the data of the mention are a design representative value and are not the one which guarantees
the value.
(2) It is convinced that it should recommend application circuit example but in case of use, we request the confirmation of the
characteristic more sufficiently. When changing an external part fixed number and becoming use, it considers sprawl of
the external part and our company's LSI including the transition characteristic in addition to the stillness characteristic and
so on, see and fix an enough margin.
(3) Absolute maximum ratings
This IC may be damaged if the absolute maximum ratings for the applied voltage, temperature range, or other
parameters are exceeded. Therefore, avoid using a voltage or temperature that exceeds the absolute maximum ratings.
If it is possible that absolute maximum ratings will be exceeded, use fuses or other physical safety measures and
determine ways to avoid exceeding the IC's absolute maximum ratings.
(4) GND terminal’s potential
Try to set the minimum voltage for GND terminal’s potential, regardless of the operation mode.
(5) Shorting between pins and mounting errors
When mounting the IC chip on a board, be very careful to set the chip's orientation and position precisely. When the
power is turned on, the IC may be damaged if it is not mounted correctly. The IC may also be damaged if a short occurs
(due to a foreign object, etc.) between two pins, between a pin and the power supply, or between a pin and the GND.
(6) Operation in strong magnetic fields
Note with caution that operation faults may occur when this IC operates in a strong magnetic field.
(7) Thermal design
Ensure sufficient margins to the thermal design by taking in to account the allowable power dissipation during actual use
modes, because this IC is power amplifier. When excessive signal inputs which the heat dissipation is insufficient
condition, it is possible that thermal shutdown circuit is active.
(8) Thermal shutdown circuit
This product is provided with a built-in thermal shutdown circuit. When the thermal shutdown circuit operates, the output
transistors are placed under open status. The thermal shutdown circuit is primarily intended to shut down the IC avoiding
thermal runaway under abnormal conditions with a chip temperature exceeding T
protect and secure an electrical appliance.
(9) Load of the output terminal
This IC corresponds to dynamic speaker load, and doesn't correspond to the load except for dynamic speakers. When
using speaker load 8Ω or less (especially 4Ω), there will be a risk of generating distortion at the speaker output wave form
during ALC limit operation.
(10) The short protection of the output terminal
This IC is built in the short protection for a protection of output transistors. When the short protection is operated, output
terminal become Hi-Z condition and is stopped with latch. Once output is stopped with latch, output does not recover
automatically by canceling the short-circuiting condition. The condition of stopping with latch is cancelled, when power
supply or mute signal is turned off and turned on again.
(11) Operation Range
The rated operating power supply voltage range (VDD=+2.5V~+5.5V) and the rated operating temperature range
(Ta=-40℃~+85℃) are the range by which basic circuit functions is operated. Characteristics and rated output power are
not guaranteed in all power supply voltage ranges or temperature ranges.
(12) Electrical Characteristics
Every audio characteristics list of the limit output power, total harmonic distortion, maximum gain, ALC limit level, ALC
release level etc. shows the typical characteristics of the device, highly dependent to the board lay-out, parts to be used,
power supply. The value when the device and each component are directly mounted to the board of Rohm.
(13) Power Supply
Since the Power Supply Pin for signal (VDD) and power supply for Power (PVDD) is SHORT at internal, short the board
pattern, then use a single power supply. Also, the power supply line of class-D speaker amplifier flows big peak energy. It
will influence the audio characteristics based on the capacity value of power supply decoupling capacitor, arrangement.
For the power supply decoupling capacitor, please arrange appropriately the low capacity (1μF or more) of ESR
(equivalent series resistor) directly near to IC Pin.
(14) ALC (A
utomatic Level Control) Function
The ALC automatically adjusts the audio output level, and a function that prevents the over output to the speaker. When
ALC function is working, gain switches at zero-cross point of audio output normally. If the time that audio output reaches
to zero-cross point is long, gain switches at about 1msec later (attack time), at about 25msec later (release time). So,
attack time and release time will change at audio input frequency. ALC parameter is fixed. The system does not
correspond to noise of impulse. Also, ALC limit control will become a power supply tracking type, limit output power is
dependent to power supply voltage. The ALC characteristics of limit output power, ALC limit and release limit will be
influenced by the shaking so please be careful.
