The TDA7493 is a dual BTL class-D audio
amplifier, specially designed for LCD TV, LCD
monitors or small speakers on cradles with
single-supply operation.
The filterless operation allows the external
component count to be reduced.
The TDA7493 is assembled in the HTSSOP24
package. Thanks to the high efficiency and to the
exposed-pad-down (EPD) package no separate
heatsink is required.

5.1 Mode selection
Pin STANDBY selects the operating mode, namely standby or play.
zIn standby mode, all the circuits are turned off and there is very low leakage current.
zIn play mode, the amplifiers are powered up.
During the turn on/off sequence, there are four operational states: standby, pre-charge,
mute and play. The pre-charge and mute states are two internal transient states to set up
the normal operating condition and to reduce the speaker pop noise.

Note:An internal pull-down resistor on pin STANDBY ensures that the default mode is standby.
5.2 Gain setting
The close loop gain is set by pins GAIN0 and GAIN1 as shown below in Ta bl e 7 . The gain
setting is implemented by changing the feedback resistors of the amplifiers.

5.3 Input resistance and capacitance
The input impedance is set by an internal resistor, Ri, of value 60 kΩ. An input coupling
capacitor (Ci) is required on each input line. These two components together form a
high-pass filter whose cutoff frequency is:
f
= 1 / (2 * π * Ri * Ci)
C
Figure 4.Input high-pass RC filter
The value of Ci is chosen depending on the application and the speaker system. For a
cut-off frequency less than 20 Hz, the input capacitors could be 470 nF each.
If a polarized capacitor is used, it is important to connect the positive side of the capacitor to
the terminal with higher DC voltage. The DC voltage on the input pins is V

5.4 Filterless modulation
The modulation scheme of BTL is called unipolar PWM output. The differential output
voltage changes between zero and +V
traditional bipolar PWM output between +V
scheme effectively doubles the switching frequency of the differential output waveform.
Signals on OUTP and OUTN are in the same phase when the input is zero, thus the current
is greatly reduced and the loss in the load is small. A tiny delay between OUTP and OUTN is
introduced to avoid high transient currents which could occur if both outputs switch
simultaneously.
TDA7493 can be used without a filter between the PWM output and the speaker since the
switching frequency of the output is beyond the audible range. The audio signal can be
recovered by the inherent inductance of the speaker and natural filter of the human ear.

and -VCC. The other advantage of this

The filterless configuration is usable in applications where the speaker connections to the
amplifier are shorter than 50 cm. In comparison to the low-pass Butterworth filter
configuration, the filterless configuration gives rise to higher EMI. This can be reduced, if
necessary, by inserting a ferrite bead filters close to the device.
Use a ferrite which exhibits high impedance at around 1 MHz and negligible impedance in
the audio band.
It is recommended to use an EMI filter if the speaker cable is longer than 50 cm.

5.5 Internal clock and external clock
The clock of the class-D amplifier can be generated internally or it can be synchronous with
the external clock. If two or more class-D amplifiers are used in the same system, it is better
to have all devices working at the same frequency. This is realized by using one TDA7493
as clock master and the others as slaves. All SYNCLK pins are connected together as
shown in Figure 8.
In master mode or with a single TDA7493, the output switching frequency is controlled by
the resistor connected to pin ROSC. The switching frequency is:
f

= 106 / (R

where R
is in kΩ and fSW is in kHz.

In this configuration pin SYNCLK is an output whose frequency is also determined by R

SYNCLK
should be lower than 60 kΩ in master mode to avoid operating in error mode.

In slave mode, pin ROSC can be floating to force pin SYNCLK as input in order to accept the
master clock. The switching frequency in this mode is:

5.6 Output low-pass filter
To avoid EMI problems, a low-pass filter can be inserted before the speaker. The cut-off
frequency of the filter should be higher than 22 kHz and much lower than the switching
frequency.
The component values of the filter vary according to the speaker impedance.
A typical LC output filter for a speaker impedance of 8 Ω and with a cut-off frequency of
27 kHz is shown in Figure 9.

5.7 Protection function
The TDA7493 has four types of protection: overvoltage (OV), undervoltage (UV), thermal
(OT) and short circuit (SC):
zovervoltage protection (OVP) for the supply V
zundervoltage protection (UVP) for the supply V
zthermal protection (OTP) for the junction temperature Tj > 155 °C
zshort-circuit protection (SCP) across the load (tested at V
CC
CC
> 6 V
< 3 V
= 5.0 V).
CC
When any of the above protection becomes active, the output goes to a high-impedance
state. The device remains in this state until the condition is cleared or rectified, when the
circuit restarts again.
5.8 Differential input
The TDA7493 can be used with either differential or single-ended inputs. In either case, the
device must be AC coupled to the audio source.
To use the device with a differential source, connect the positive lead from the audio source
to the INP input and the negative lead to the INN input as shown in Figure 11. The
differential input stage of the amplifier minimizes the common mode noise effectively.
In the differential input application:
zinput impedance is given by 2 * Rin,
zcut-off frequency of the input filter is given by
To use the device with a single-ended source, one input is AC connected to ground (via a
capacitor) and the other input is connected to the audio source. This is designed as a fully
differential input. The input scheme is shown in Figure 12.
However, to avoid the start-up pop noise, it is important to equalize, as much as possible,
the charging currents in the positive and negative inputs. Any imbalance in these charging
currents will be amplified and result in the familiar turn-on pop.

Since the input charging currents in the circuit of Figure 12 can be different it is necessary to
add two resistors, R0, as shown in the circuit of Figure 13. In this way the currents in the two
branches of the differential input are better balanced and this can lead to the elimination of
the turn-on pop noise.

The disadvantages of the anti-pop configuration are given below:
zThe input impedance or the load of audio source is no longer 2 * Rin as in the case of
differential input configuration but R0. It means the load effect should be considered
during the application design. At this point, bigger R0 is better because of the lower
load effect.

Ω, Rfb = 30 kΩ and R0 = 20 kΩ, the gain is reduced by 1 dB.
Ω, Rfb = 120 kΩ and R0 = 20 kΩ, the gain is reduced by 1.84 dB. In
this case, smaller R0 is better.
If the pop noise is not critical, the anti-pop configuration can be simplified as shown in
Figure 14. The suggested value of the resistor R0 is 20 k
Ω.

8 Heatsink provision
With the exposed-pad packages, it is possible to use the printed circuit board as a heatsink.
Using a PCB copper ground area of 3 x 3 cm
exposed pad, a thermal resistance of 37 °C/W can be achieved.
The amount of power dissipated within the device depends primarily on the supply voltage,
load impedance and output modulation level. The maximum estimated power dissipation for
the TDA7493 is around 1.1 W.
With the suggested copper area of 9 cm
than 40 °C above ambient can be expected, thus giving a maximum junction temperature,
Tj, of approximately 90 °C in consumer environments where 50 °C is specified as the
maximum ambient temperature. This provides a comfortable safety margin to the thermal
protection threshold at Tj = 150 °C.
