“BTL” is BTL-mode when MODE Pin = VDD, “SE” is single-ended mode when MODE Pin = VSS.
Turn-on time in BTL mode is about 11 times faster than single-ended mode.
Also, BTL mode does not have MUTE mode. When MUTEB Pin = VSS, then it will be shutdown mode.
BU7150NUV can control many mode states. “Active” is normal operation state for output signal. “Shutdown” is IC power
down state for low power. “Mute” is Headphone amplifier power down state for low power and fast turn-on, because
keeping BIAS voltage = VDD/2. “Turn on” and “Turn off” are sweep state.
Also, BU7150NUV has wait time for reduction of pop-sound at turn-on and turn-off. Turn-on wait time is 70msec from IN1
voltage = VDD/2. Turn-off wait time is 140msec from BYPASS voltage = 100mV. Please don't change SDB, MUTEB
condition at 70msec and 140msec wait- time.
BU7150NUV need wait-time for BIAS charge sweep time and pop-noise reduction.
In the Fig. 37, Ts1 is BIAS charge sweep time from power on or SDB=H. Ts2 is time until signal output from power on or
SDB=H. Also, in the Fig. 38, Tb1 is BIAS charge sweep time from power on. Tb2 is time until signal output from power on.
Tb3 is BIAS charge sweep time from SDB=H. Tb4 is time until signal output from SDB=H.
These values are decided equation (1) ~ (6). However, BIAS charge sweep time (Ts1, Tb1, Tb3) have uneven ±50%, and
wait-time (70msec) is 40msec ~ 126msec for process parameter distribution. (Ta=25°C)

BU7150NUV has two OPAMP in the IC (Fig. 1). BU7150NUV is selected for BTL-mode for mono speaker and
single-ended mode for stereo headphone operation. Mode is composed of external parts and internal control (Fig. 34, 35)
BU7150NUV operates at single-ended mode when MODE pin (pin8) = 0V turn on. BTL mode is operated when MODE
pin (pin8) = VDD turn on. BYPASS voltage = 100mV then operation mode is decided by internal comparator by detecting
MODE voltage.
The difference between Single-ended mode and BTL-mode is mentioned in the following table.
Single-ended mode can be use for stereo headphone amplifier using two internal amplifiers. BU7150NUV can select

Amplifier outputs (OUT1, OUT2) need coupling capacitors in single-ended mode operation. Coupling capacitors reduce
DC-voltage at the output and to pass the audio signal.
Single-ended mode has mute mode. Mute mode reduces pop noise and low power (typ. 15μA when MUTEB pin = Low.
Rise time is high-speed though current consumption increases more than the state of the shutdown so that the state of
the mute may keep the output level at the bias level. Mute level is decided by input resistance R

BU7150NUV needs phase-compensation circuit using external parts. (Fig. 34) But, for amplifier gain Av > 4 then phase
compensation circuit may be eliminated.
・BTL mode
BTL mode can be used for mono speaker amplifier using two internal amplifiers. BU7150NUV can select amplifier gain A
using external parts. (Fig. 35) 1st stage gain is decided by selecting external parts. But 2nd stage gain = 1. 1st stage
output signal and 2nd stage output signal are of same amplitude but phase difference of 180°.
Amplifiers gain A
in range of 20kΩ~1MΩ.

BU7150NUV has no output pop noise at BTL mode operation, because output coupling capacitor is not charged.
Therefore, BTL mode is faster by 11 times compared to single-ended mode. SDB pin and MUTEB pin are same function
in BTL mode operation.

Maximum output power of audio amplifier is reduced line impedance. Please, design to provide low impedance for the
wiring between the power source and VDD pin of BU7150NUV. Also, please design to provide low impedance for the
wiring between the GND and VSS pin of BU7150NUV.
Power supply capacitor is important for low noise and rejection of alternating current. Please use 10μF electrolytic or
tantalum capacitor for low frequency and 0.1μF ceramic capacitor for high frequency nearer to BU7150NUV.
・BYPASS pin capacitor
BU7150NUV sweeps “Active” state after 70msec wait time after IN1 voltage = VDD/2. IN1 voltage are subordinated
BYPASS voltage Ts. BYPASS voltage is subordinated BYPASS pin capacitor C

is small value. But, pop noise may occur during turn on time. Therefore, C
An excess in the absolute maximum ratings, such as supply voltage, temperature range of operating conditions, etc.,
can break down devices, thus making impossible to identify breaking mode such as a short circuit or an open circuit. If
any special mode exceeding the absolute maximum ratings is assumed, consideration should be given to take physical
safety measures including the use of fuses, etc.
(2) Operating conditions
These conditions represent a range within which characteristics can be provided approximately as expected. The
electrical characteristics are guaranteed under the conditions of each parameter.
(3) Reverse connection of power supply connector
The reverse connection of power supply connector can break down ICs. Take protective measures against the
breakdown due to the reverse connection, such as mounting an external diode between the power supply and the IC’s
power supply terminal.
(4) Power supply line
Design PCB pattern to provide low impedance for the wiring between the power supply and the GND lines. In this
regard, for the digital block power supply and the analog block power supply, even though these power supplies has
the same level of potential, separate the power supply pattern for the digital block from that for the analog block, thus
suppressing the diffraction of digital noises to the analog block power supply resulting from impedance common to the
wiring patterns. For the GND line, give consideration to design the patterns in a similar manner.
Furthermore, for all power supply terminals to ICs, mount a capacitor between the power supply and the GND terminal.
At the same time, in order to use an electrolytic capacitor, thoroughly check to be sure the characteristics of the
capacitor to be used present no problem including the occurrence of capacity dropout at a low temperature, thus
determining the constant.
(5) GND voltage
Make setting of the potential of the GND terminal so that it will be maintained at the minimum in any operating state.
Furthermore, check to be sure no terminals are at a potential lower than the GND voltage including an actual electric
transient.
(6) Short circuit between terminals and erroneous mounting
In order to mount ICs on a set PCB, pay thorough attention to the direction and offset of the ICs. Erroneous mounting
can break down the ICs. Furthermore, if a short circuit occurs due to foreign matters entering between terminals or
between the terminal and the power supply or the GND terminal, the ICs can break down.
(7) Operation in strong electromagnetic field
Be noted that using ICs in the strong electromagnetic field can malfunction them.
(8) Inspection with set PCB
On the inspection with the set PCB, if a capacitor is connected to a low-impedance IC terminal, the IC can suffer stress.
Therefore, be sure to discharge from the set PCB by each process. Furthermore, in order to mount or dismount the set
PCB to/from the jig for the inspection process, be sure to turn OFF the power supply and then mount the set PCB to
the jig. After the completion of the inspection, be sure to turn OFF the power supply and then dismount it from the jig. In
addition, for protection against static electricity, establish a ground for the assembly process and pay thorough attention
to the transportation and the storage of the set PCB.
(9) Input terminals
In terms of the construction of IC, parasitic elements are inevitably formed in relation to potential. The operation of the
parasitic element can cause interference with circuit operation, thus resulting in a malfunction and then breakdown of
the input terminal. Therefore, pay thorough attention not to handle the input terminals, such as to apply to the input
terminals a voltage lower than the GND respectively, so that any parasitic element will operate. Furthermore, do not
apply a voltage to the input terminals when no power supply voltage is applied to the IC. In addition, even if the power
supply voltage is applied, apply to the input terminals a voltage lower than the power supply voltage or within the
guaranteed value of electrical characteristics.
(10) Ground wiring pattern
If small-signal GND and large-current GND are provided, It will be recommended to separate the large-current GND
pattern from the small-signal GND pattern and establish a single ground at the reference point of the set PCB so that
resistance to the wiring pattern and voltage fluctuations due to a large current will cause no fluctuations in voltages of
the small-signal GND. Pay attention not to cause fluctuations in the GND wiring pattern of external parts as well.
(11) External capacitor
In order to use a ceramic capacitor as the external capacitor, determine the constant with consideration given to a
degradation in the nominal capacitance due to DC bias and changes in the capacitance due to temperature, etc.
(12) About the rush current
For ICs with more than one power supply, it is possible that rush current may flow instantaneously due to the internal
powering sequence and delays. Therefore, give special consideration to power coupling capacitance, power wiring,
width of GND wiring, and routing of wiring.
