TS4995 1.2W fully differential audio power amplifier with selectable standby and 6db fixed gain - Evaluation board user guidelines

Introduction

This application note describes the DEMO TS4995, an evaluation board specifically designed for the TS4995 differential audio amplifier. In this document, you will find:

a brief description of the TS4995 differential audio amplifier,

a description of the evaluation board,

a detailed list of evaluation board components,

the layout of the evaluation board.

About the TS4995

The TS4995 is fully differential structure power audio amplifier which is capable of delivering 1.2W of continuous RMS output power into an 8Ω load at 5V. Due to its differential inputs, it exhibits outstanding noise immunity.

An external standby mode control reduces the supply current to less than 10nA. A STBY MODE pin allows the standby to be active High or Low. An internal thermal shutdown protection is also provided, making the device capable of sustaining short-circuits.

The TS4995 features an internal fixed gain at 6dB which reduces the number of external components on the application board, and the flip-chip package with 9 bumps allows maximum space saving.

Its key features are:

Differential inputs

90dB PSRR @ 217Hz with grounded inputs

Operating range from VCC = 2.5V to 5.5V

1.2W rail to rail output power @ VCC=5V, THD+N=1%, F=1kHz, with 8Ω load

6dB integrated fixed gain

Ultra-low consumption in standby mode (10nA)

Selectable standby mode (active low or active high)

Ultra-fast startup time: 10ms typ. at VCC=3.3V

Available in 9-bump flip-chip (300mm bump diameter)

Ultra-low pop & click

Figure 1 on page 2 shows a typical application for the TS4995 amplifier.

Description of the evaluation board

 

 

2 Description of the evaluation board

The DEMO TS4995 is an evaluation board designed to help you evaluate the TS4995 low power differential audio amplifier.

This section explains how to evaluate the amplifier in a typical application configuration. Using the board, you can:

set the amplifier in standby/operation mode,

select standby mode (active low or active high),

modify the input configuration from capacitor coupled to common mode feedback.

The Cn4 connector is used to select between standby or operation mode; and the Cn5 connector is used for standby to select between active low or active high. For example, in Figure 2, the jumper that connects pin 2 and pin 3 of the Cn4 connector puts the device in standby mode, while the jumper that connects pin1 and pin 2 of the Cn5 connector determines that the standby is active high.

When the amplifier is used in common mode feedback input configuration, the input capacitors are shorted by placing jumpers on connectors Cn2 and Cn3.
