Description
The TS2012 is a fully-differential stereo class D
power amplifier able to drive up to 1.15 W into an
8 Ω load at 5 V per channel. It achieves better
efficiency compared to typical class AB audio
amps.
The device has four different gain settings utilizing
two digital pins: G0 and G1.
Pop and click reduction circuitry provides low
on/off switch noise while allowing the device to
start within 8 ms.
Two standby pins (active low) allow each channel
to be switched off separately.
The TS2012 is available in a flip-chip 16-bump
lead-free package.

Output short circuit protection
1. All voltage values are measured with respect to the ground pin.
2. The magnitude of the input signal must never exceed VCC + 0.3 V / GND - 0.3 V.
3. The device is protected in case of over temperature by a thermal shutdown active at 150°C.
4. Exceeding the power derating curves during a long period will cause abnormal operation.
5. Human body model: 100 pF discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor between two pins of the device, done for
all couples of pin combinations with other pins floating.
6. Machine model: a 200 pF cap is charged to the specified voltage, then discharged directly between two
pins of the device with no external series resistor (internal resistor < 5 Ω), done for all couples of pin
combinations with other pins floating.
7. Implemented short-circuit protection protects the amplifier against damage by short-circuit between
positive and negative outputs of each channel and between outputs and ground.

1. I Voo I ≤ 40 mV max with all differential gains except 24 dB. For 24 dB gain, input decoupling capacitors are
mandatory.
2. Without any signal on standby pin, the device is in standby (internal 300 kΩ +/-20% pull-down resistor).
3. Minimum current consumption is obtained when V
4. Between G0, G1pins and GND, there is an internal 300 kΩ (+/-20%) pull-down resistor. When pins are
floating, the gain is 6 dB. In full standby (left and right channels OFF), these resistors are disconnected

4 Application information
4.1 Differential configuration principle
The TS2012 is a monolithic fully-differential input/output class D power amplifier. The
TS2012 also includes a common-mode feedback loop that controls the output bias value to
average it at V
always have a maximum output voltage swing, and by consequence, maximize the output
power. Moreover, as the load is connected differentially compared with a single-ended
topology, the output is four times higher for the same power supply voltage.
The advantages of a full-differential amplifier are:
●high PSRR (power supply rejection ratio),
●high common mode noise rejection,
●virtually zero pop without additional circuitry, giving a faster start-up time compared to
conventional single-ended input amplifiers,
●easier interfacing with differential output audio DACs,
●no input coupling capacitors required thanks to the common mode feedback loop.

4.2 Gain settings
In the flat region of the frequency-response curve (no input coupling capacitor or internal
feedback loop + load effect), the differential gain can be set to 6, 12 18, or 24 dB, depending
on the logic level of the G0 and G1 pins, as shown in Ta bl e 8 .

G1G0Gain (dB)Gain (V/V)
0062
01124

112416
Note:Between pins G0, G1 and GND there is an internal 300 kΩ (+/-20%) resistor. When the pins
are floating, the gain is 6 dB. In full standby (left and right channels OFF), these resistors
are disconnected (HiZ input).
4.3 Common mode feedback loop limitations
As explained previously, the common mode feedback loop allows the output DC bias voltage
to be averaged at V
Due to the V
limitation of the input stage (see Table 2: Operating conditions on page 4), the

common mode feedback loop can fulfil its role only within the defined range.

4.5 Decoupling of the circuit
Power supply capacitors, referred to as CS1 and CS2, are needed to correctly bypass the
TS2012.
The TS2012 has a typical switching frequency of 280 kHz and an output fall and rise time of
approximately 5 ns. Due to these very fast transients, careful decoupling is mandatory.
A 1 µF ceramic capacitor (C
capacitor 0.1 µF (C
the device PVCC pin in order to avoid any extra parasitic inductance or resistance created
by a long track wire. Parasitic loop inductance, in relation with di/dt, introduces overvoltage
that decreases the global efficiency of the device and may cause, if this parasitic inductance
is too high, a breakdown of the TS2012. For filtering low-frequency noise signals on the
power line, you can use a C
In addition, even if a ceramic capacitor has an adequate high frequency ESR (equivalent
series resistance) value, its current capability is also important. A size of 0603 is a good
compromise, particularly when a 4 Ω load is used.
Another important parameter is the rated voltage of the capacitor. A 1 µF/6.3 V capacitor
used at 5 V, loses about 50% of its value. With a power supply voltage of 5 V, the decoupling
value, instead of 1 µF, could be reduced to 0.5 µF. As C
THD+N in the medium-to-high frequency region, this capacitor variation becomes decisive.
In addition, less decoupling means higher overshoots, which can be problematic if they
reach the power supply AMR value (6 V).

4.6 Wake-up time (tWU) and shutdown time (t
During the wake-up sequence when the standby is released to set the device ON, there is a
delay. The wake-up sequence of the TS2012 consists of two phases. During the first phase
t
, a digitally-generated delay, mutes the outputs. Then, the gain increasing phase t

begins. The gain increases smoothly from the mute state to the preset gain selected by the
digital pins G0 and G1. This startup sequence avoids any pop noise during startup of the
amplifier. Refer to Figure 37: Wake-up phase.

Time
When the standby command is set, the time required to set the output stage to high
impedance and to put the internal circuitry in shutdown mode is called the standby time.
This time is used to decrease the gain from its nominal value set by the digital pins G0 and
G1 to mute and avoid any pop noise during shutdown. The gain decreases smoothly until
the outputs are muted (Figure 38).

4.7 Consumption in shutdown mode
Between the shutdown pin and GND there is an internal 300 kΩ (+-/20%) resistor. This
resistor forces the TS2012 to be in shutdown when the shutdown input is left floating.
However, this resistor also introduces additional shutdown power consumption if the
shutdown pin voltage is not at 0 V.
With a 0.4 V shutdown voltage pin for example, you must add0.4 V/300 kΩ = 1.3 µA typical
(0.4 V/240 kΩ = 1.66 µA maximum) for each shutdown pin to the standby current specified
in Ta bl e 5 to Ta bl e 7 . Of course, this current will be provided by the external control device
for the standby pins.
4.8 Single-ended input configuration
It is possible to use the TS2012 in a single-ended input configuration. However, input
coupling capacitors are mandatory in this configuration. Figure 39 shows a typical singleended input application.

4.9 Output filter considerations
The TS2012 is designed to operate without an output filter. However, due to very sharp
transients on the TS2012 output, EMI-radiated emissions may cause some standard
compliance issues.
These EMI standard compliance issues can appear if the distance between the TS2012
outputs and loudspeaker terminal are long (typically more than 50 mm, or 100 mm in both
directions, to the speaker terminals). Because the PCB layout and internal equipment
device are different for each configuration, it is difficult to provide a one-size-fits-all solution.
However, to decrease the probability of EMI issues, there are several simple rules to follow.
●Reduce, as much as possible, the distance between the TS2012 output pins and the
speaker terminals.
●Use a ground plane to "shield" sensitive wires.
●Place, as close as possible to the TS2012 and in series with each output, a ferrite bead
with a rated current of at least 2.5 A and an impedance greater than 50 Ω at
frequencies above 30 MHz. If, after testing, these ferrite beads are not necessary,
replace them by a short circuit.
●Allow extra footprint to place, if necessary, a capacitor to short perturbations to ground
(Figure 40).
Figure 40. Ferrite chip bead placement
From output
In the case where the distance between the TS2012 output and the speaker terminals is too
long, it is possible to have low frequency EMI issues due to the fact that the typical operating
frequency is 280 kHz. In this configuration, it is necessary to use the output filter
represented in Figure 1 on page 5 as close as possible to the TS2012.
4.10 Short-circuit protection
The TS2012 includes output short-circuit protection. This protection prevents the device
from being damaged in case of fault conditions on the amplifier outputs.
When a channel is in operating mode and a short-circuit occurs between two outputs of the
channel or between an output and ground, the short-circuit protection detects this situation
and puts the appropriate channel into standby. To put the channel back into operating mode,
it is necessary to put the channel’s standby pin to logical LO, and then back again to logical
HI and wake up the channel.

4.11 Thermal shutdown
The TS2012 device has an internal thermal shutdown protection in the event of extreme
temperatures to protect the device from overheating. Thermal shutdown is active when the
device reaches 150° C. When the temperature decreases to safe levels, the circuit switches
back to normal operation.
