2.2 Description of SPI operation
The serial data bits are organized into a field
containing 8 bits of data as shown in
Table 1
. The
first 8 bits will get loaded into the shift register and
the rest of the bits will be disregarded.
Ta ble 1: Bit Allocatio n
DATA 0 to DATA 2 bits determine the output
mode of the TS4851 as shown in
Table 2
. The
DATA 3 to DATA 7 bits determine the gain level
setting as illustrated by
Table 3
. For each SPI
transfer, the data bits are written to the DATA pin
with the least significant bit (LSB) first. All serial
data are sampled at the rising edge of the CLK
signal. Once all the dat a bi ts h ave been sampled,
ENB transitions from logic-high to logic low to
complete the SPI sequence. All 8 bits must be

6.1 BTL configuration principles
The TS4851 integrates 3 monolithic power
amplifier having BTL output. BTL (Bridge Tied
Load) means that each end of the load is
connected to two single-ended ou tput amplifiers.
Thus, we have:
Single ended output 1 = Vout1 = Vout (V)
Single ended output 2 = Vout2 = -Vout (V)
and
Vout1 - V out2 = 2V out (V)
The output power is:
For the same power supply voltage, the output
power in BTL configuration is four times higher
than the output power in single ended
configuration.
6.2 Power dissipation and efficiency

6.3 Low frequency response
In low frequency region, the effect of Cin starts.
Cin with Zin forms a high pass filter with a -3 dB
cut off frequency.
Zin is the input impedance of the corresponding
input:
•20kΩ for Phone In IHF input
•50kΩ for the 3 other inputs
Note:For all inputs, the impedance value remains
constant for all gain settings. Th is means that
the lower cu t-off frequ ency does n’t c hang e wit h
Ω
and 50 kΩ are

typical values and the re are tolerances around
these values (see Electrical Cha racteristics on
page 7).
to 41, you could easily establish the
Cin value for a -3 dB cut-off frequency required.
6.4 Decoupling of the circuit
Two capacitors are needed to bypass properly the
TS4851, a power supply bypass capacitor Cs and
a bias voltage bypass capacitor Cb.
Cs has especially an influence on the THD+N in
high frequency (above 7 kHz) and indirectly on
the power supply disturbances.
With 1 µF, you could expect similar THD+N
performances like shown in the datasheet.
If Cs is lower than 1 µF , THD+N increas es in hi gh
frequency and disturbances on the power supply
rail are less filtered.
To the contrary, if Cs is higher than 1 µF, those
disturbances on the power supply rail are more
filtered.
Cb has an influence on THD+N in lower
frequency, but its value is critical on the final result
of PSRR with input grounded in lower frequency:
•If Cb is lower than 1 µF, THD+N increases at
lower frequencies and the PSRR worsens
upwards.
•If Cb is higher than 1 µF, the benefit on
THD+N and PSRR in the lower frequency
range is small.
6.5 Startup time
When the TS4851 is controlled to switch from the
full standby mode (output mode 0) to another
output mode, a delay is necessary to stabilize t he
DC bias. This delay depends on the Cb value and
can be calculated by the following formulas.
Typical startup time = 0.0175 x Cb (s)
Max. startup time = 0.025 x Cb (s)
(Cb is in µF in these formu las )
These formulas assume that the Cb voltage is
equal to 0 V . If the Cb voltage is not equal to 0V,
the startup time will be always lower.
The startup time is the delay between the
negative edge of Enable input (see
SPI operation
on page 3) and the power ON of the
outpu t am plifiers.
Note:Wh en the TS4851 is set in full standby mode,
Cb is discharged through an internal resistor.
The time to reach 0 V of Cb vo ltage could be
calculated by the following formula:
Tdischarge = 3 x Cb (s)
Note:Cb must be in µF in this formula.

6.6 Pop and Click performance
The TS4851 has internal Pop and Click reduc tion
circuitry. The performance of this circuitry is
closely linked with the value of the input capac itor
Cin and the bias voltage bypass capacitor Cb.
The value of Cin is due to the lower cut-off
frequency value requested. The value of Cb is
due to THD+N and PSRR requested always in
lower frequency.
The TS4851 is optimized to have a low pop a nd
click in the typical schematic configuration (see
page 2
Note:The value of Cs is not an important
).
consideration as regards pop and click.
6.7 Notes on PSRR meas urement
What is the PSRR?
The PSRR is the Power Suppl y Rejection Ratio.
The PSRR of a device, is the ratio between a
power supply disturbance and the result on the
output. We can say that the PSRR is the ability of
a device to m inimize the impact o f power supply
disturbances to the output.
•No bypass capacitor Cs is used.
The PSRR value for each frequency is:
RMS
Log20PSRR
×=
RMS
Note:Th e meas ure of the Rm s volta ge is no t an Rm s
selective measure but a full range (20 Hz to
125 kHz) Rms measure. This means that the
effective Rms signal + the Noise is measured.
)Output(
)Vripple(
)dB(
As the measurement is performed with a wideband frequency range apparatus, we have to
subtract the Noise part (quadratic operation) of
the measurement to obtain the real Rms signal
needed to calculate the P SRR, as shown in the
formula above.
How we measure the PSRR?
The PSSR was measured according to the
schematic shown in
Figure 59
.
