The Automatic Gain Control (AGC) feature provides continuous automatic gain adjustment to the amplifier
through an internal PGA. This feature enhances the perceived audio loudness and at the same time prevents
speaker damage from occurring (Limiter function).
The AGC function attempts to maintain the audio signal gain as selected by the user through the Fixed Gain,
Limiter Level, and Compression Ratio variables. Other advanced features included are Maximum Gain and Noise
Gate Threshold. Table 1 describes the function of each variable in the AGC function.
Table 1. TPA2026D2 AGC Variable Descriptions
VARIABLEDESCRIPTION
Maximum GainThe gain at the lower end of the compression region.
Fixed GainThe normal gain of the device when the AGC is inactive.
The fixed gain is also the initial gain when the device comes out of shutdown mode or when the AGC is
disabled.
Limiter LevelThe value that sets the maximum allowed output amplitude.
Compression RatioThe relation between input and output voltage.
Noise Gate ThresholdBelow this value, the AGC holds the gain to prevent breathing effects.
Attack TimeThe minimum time between two gain decrements.
Release TimeThe minimum time between two gain increments.
Hold TimeThe time it takes for the very first gain increment after the input signal amplitude decreases.
The AGC works by detecting the audio input envelope. The gain changes depending on the amplitude, the limiter
level, the compression ratio, and the attack and release time. The gain changes constantly as the audio signal
increases and/or decreases to create the compression effect. The gain step size for the AGC is 0.5 dB. If the
audio signal has near-constant amplitude, the gain does not change. Figure 31 shows how the AGC works.
A.Gain decreases with no delay; attack time is reset. Release time and hold time are reset.
B.Signal amplitude above limiter level, but gain cannot change because attack time is not over.
C.Attack time ends; gain is allowed to decrease from this point forward by one step. Gain decreases because the
amplitude remains above limiter threshold. All times are reset
D.Gain increases after release time finishes and signal amplitude remains below desired level. All times are reset after
the gain increase.
E.Gain increases after release time is finished again because signal amplitude remains below desired level. All times
are reset after the gain increase.
Figure 31. Input and Output Audio Signal vs Time
Since the number of gain steps is limited the compression region is limited as well. The following figure shows
how the gain changes vs. the input signal amplitude in the compression region.
Thus the AGC performs a mapping of the input signal vs. the output signal amplitude. This mapping can be
modified according to the variables from Table 1.
The following graphs and explanations show the effect of each variable to the AGC independently and which
considerations should be taken when choosing values.
Fixed Gain: The fixed gain determines the initial gain of the AGC. Set the gain using the following variables:
•Set the fixed gain to be equal to the gain when the AGC is disabled.
•Set the fixed gain to maximize SNR.
•Set the fixed gain such that it will not overdrive the speaker.
Figure 33 shows how the fixed gain influences the input signal amplitude vs. the output signal amplitude state
diagram. The dotted 1:1 line is displayed for reference. The 1:1 line means that for a 1dB increase in the input
signal, the output increases by 1dB.
Figure 33. Output Signal vs Input Signal State Diagram Showing Different Fixed Gain Configurations
If the Compression function is enabled, the Fixed Gain is adjustable from –28dB to 30dB. If the Compression
function is disabled, the Fixed gain is adjustable from 0dB to 30dB.
Limiter Level: The Limiter level sets the maximum amplitude allowed at the output of the amplifier. The limiter
should be set with the following constraints in mind:
•Below or at the maximum power rating of the speaker
•Below the minimum supply voltage in order to avoid clipping
Figure 34 shows how the limiter level influences the input signal amplitude vs. the output signal amplitude state

Figure 34. Output Signal vs Input Signal State Diagram Showing Different Limiter Level Configurations
The limiter level and the fixed gain influence each other. If the fixed gain is set high, the AGC has a large limiter
range. The fixed gain is set low, the AGC has a short limiter range. Figure 35 illustrates the two examples:
Figure 35. Output Signal vs Input Signal State Diagram Showing Same Limiter Level Configurations with
Compression Ratio: The compression ratio sets the relation between input and output signal outside the limiter
level region. The compression ratio compresses the dynamic range of the audio. For example if the audio source
has a dynamic range of 60dB and compression ratio of 2:1 is selected, then the output has a dynamic range of
30dB. Most small form factor speakers have small dynamic range. Compression ratio allows audio with large
dynamic range to fit into a speaker with small dynamic range.
The compression ratio also increases the loudness of the audio without increasing the peak voltage. The higher
the compression ratio, the louder the perceived audio.
For example:
•A compression ratio of 4:1 is selected (meaning that a 4dB change in the input signal results in a 1dB signal
change at the output)
•A fixed gain of 0dB is selected and the maximum audio level is at 0dBV.
When the input signal decreases to –32dBV, the amplifier increases the gain to 24dB in order to achieve an
output of –8dBV. The output signal amplitude equation is:
Consider the following when setting the compression ratio:
•Dynamic range of the speaker
•Fixed gain level
•Limiter Level
•Audio Loudness vs Output Dynamic Range.
Figure 36 shows different settings for dynamic range and different fixed gain selected but no limiter level.

Figure 36. Output Signal vs Input Signal State Diagram Showing Different Compression Ratio
The rotation point is always at VIN= 10dBV. The rotation point is not located at the intersection of the limiter
region and the compression region. By changing the fixed gain the rotation point will move in the y-axis direction
only, as shown in the previous graph.
Interaction Between Compression Ratio and Limiter Range: The compression ratio can be limited by the
limiter range. Note that the limiter range is selected by the limiter level and the fixed gain.
For a setting with large limiter range, the amount of gain steps in the AGC remaining to perform compression are
limited. Figure 37 shows two examples, where the fixed gain was changed.
1. Small limiter range yielding a large compression region (small fixed gain).
2. Large limiter range yielding a small compression region (large fixed gain).

Figure 37. Output Signal vs Input Signal State Diagram Showing the Effects of the Limiter Range to the
Compression Region
Noise Gate Threshold: The noise gate threshold prevents the AGC from changing the gain when there is no
audio at the input of the amplifier. The noise gate threshold stops gain changes until the input signal is above the
noise gate threshold. Select the noise gate threshold to be above the noise but below the minimum audio at the
input of the amplifier signal. A filter is needed between delta-sigma CODEC/DAC and TPA2026D2 for
effectiveness of the noise gate function. The filter eliminates the out-of-band noise from delta-sigma modulation
and keeps the CODEC/DAC output noise lower than the noise gate threshold.
Figure 38. Time Diagram Showing the Relationship Between Input Signal Amplitude, Noise Gate
Maximum Gain: This variable limits the number of gain steps in the AGC. This feature is useful in order to
accomplish a more advanced output signal vs. input signal transfer characteristic.
For example, to prevent the gain from going above a certain value, reduce the maximum gain.
However, this variable will affect the limiter range and the compression region. If the maximum gain is
decreased, the limiter range and/or compression region is reduced. Figure 39 illustrates the effects.
Figure 39. Output Signal vs Input Signal State Diagram Showing Different Maximum Gains
A particular application requiring maximum gain of 22dB, for example. Thus, set the maximum gain at 22dB. The
amplifier gain will never have a gain higher than 22dB; however, this will reduce the limiter range.
Attack, Release, and Hold Time:
•The attack time is the minimum time between gain decreases.
•The release time is the minimum time between gain increases.
•The hold time is the minimum time between a gain decrease (attack) and a gain increase (release). The hold
time can be deactivated. Hold time is only valid if greater than release time.
Successive gain decreases are never faster than the attack time. Successive gain increases are never faster
than the release time.
All time variables (attack, release and hold) start counting after each gain change performed by the AGC. The
AGC is allowed to decrease the gain (attack) only after the attack time finishes. The AGC is allowed to increase
the gain (release) only after the release time finishes counting. However, if the preceding gain change was an
attack (gain increase) and the hold time is enabled and longer than the release time, then the gain is only
increased after the hold time.
The hold time is only enabled after a gain decrease (attack). The hold time replaces the release time after a gain
decrease (attack). If the gain needs to be increased further, then the release time is used. The release time is
used instead of the hold time if the hold time is disabled.
The attack time should be at least 100 times shorter than the release and hold time. The hold time should be the
same or greater than the release time. It is important to select reasonable values for those variables in order to
prevent the gain from changing too often or too slow.
Figure 40 illustrates the relationship between the three time variables.

TPA2026D2 AGC OPERATION
The TPA2026D2 is controlled by the I2C interface. The correct start-up sequence is:
1. Apply the supply voltage to the AVDDand PVDD(L, R) pins.
2. Apply a voltage above VIHto the SDZ pin. The TPA2026D2 powers up the I2C interface and the control logic.
By default, the device is in active mode (SWS = 0). After 5 ms the amplifier will enable the class-D output
stage and become fully operational.
AGC STARTUP CONDITION
The amplifier gain at start-up depends on the following conditions:
1. Start-up from hardware reset (EN from 0 to 1): The amplifier starts up immediately at default fixed gain. AGC
starts controlling gain once the input audio signal exceeds noise gate threshold.
2. Start-up from software shutdown (SWS from 1 to 0): The amplifier starts up immediately at the latest fixed
gain during software shutdown, regardless the attack/ release time. For example:
– Audio is playing at fixed gain 6dB
– Devices goes to software shutdown (SWS = 1)
– Set fixed gain from 6 dB to 12 dB
– Remove software shutdown (SWS = 0)
– Amplifier starts up immediately at 12 dB
3. During audio playback with AGC on, gain changes according to attack/ release time. For example:
– Audio is playing at fixed gain 6 dB and 1:1 compression ratio
– Set fixed gain from 6 dB to 12 dB, at release time 500 ms / 6 dB
– Amplifier will take 500 ms to ramp from 6 dB to 12 dB
4. When SPKR_EN_R = 0, SPKR_EN_L = 0 and SWS = 0, the amplifier is set at fixed gain. The amplifier will
start up at fixed gain when either SPKR_EN_R and SPKR_EN_L transitions from 0 to 1.
CAUTION
Do not interrupt the start-up sequence after changing SDZ from VILto VIH.
Do not interrupt the start-up sequence after changing SWS from 1 to 0.
The default conditions of TPA2026D2 allows audio playback without I2C control. Refer to Table 4 for the entire
default conditions.
There are several options to disable the amplifier:
•Write SPK_EN_R = 0 and SPK_EN_L = 0 to the register (0x01, 6 and 0x01, 7). This write disables each
speaker amplifier, but leaves all other circuits operating.
•Write SWS = 1 to the register (0x01, 5). This action disables most of the amplifier functions.
•Apply VILto SDZ. This action shuts down all the circuits and has very low quiescent current consumption.
This action resets the registers to its default values.
CAUTION
Do not interrupt the shutdown sequence after changing SDZ from VIHto VIL.
Do not interrupt the shutdown sequence after changing SWS from 0 to 1.

GENERAL I2C OPERATION
The I2C bus employs two signals, SDA (data) and SCL (clock), to communicate between integrated circuits in a
system. The bus transfers data serially one bit at a time. The address and data 8-bit bytes are transferred most
significant bit (MSB) first. In addition, each byte transferred on the bus is acknowledged by the receiving device
with an acknowledge bit. Each transfer operation begins with the master device driving a start condition on the
bus and ends with the master device driving a stop condition on the bus. The bus uses transitions on the data
terminal (SDA) while the clock is at logic high to indicate start and stop conditions. A high-to-low transition on
SDA indicates a start and a low-to-high transition indicates a stop. Normal data-bit transitions must occur within
the low time of the clock period. Figure 42 shows a typical sequence. The master generates the 7-bit slave
address and the read/write (R/W) bit to open communication with another device, and then waits for an
acknowledge condition. The TPA2026D2 holds SDA low during the acknowledge clock period to indicate
acknowledgment. When this acknowledgment occurs, the master transmits the next byte of the sequence. Each
device is addressed by a unique 7-bit slave address plus R/W bit (1 byte). All compatible devices share the same
signals via a bidirectional bus using a wired-AND connection.
An external pull-up resistor must be used for the SDA and SCL signals to set the logic high level for the bus.
When the bus level is 5 V, use pull-up resistors between 1 kΩ and 2 kΩ.
Figure 42. Typical I2C Sequence
There is no limit on the number of bytes that can be transmitted between start and stop conditions. When the last
word transfers, the master generates a stop condition to release the bus. A generic data transfer sequence is
shown in Figure 42.
SINGLE-AND MULTIPLE-BYTE TRANSFERS
The serial control interface supports both single-byte and multi-byte read/write operations for all registers.
During multiple-byte read operations, the TPA2026D2 responds with data, one byte at a time, starting at the
register assigned, as long as the master device continues to respond with acknowledgments.
The TPA2026D2 supports sequential I2C addressing. For write transactions, if a register is issued followed by
data for that register and all the remaining registers that follow, a sequential I2C write transaction has occurred.
For I2C sequential write transactions, the register issued then serves as the starting point, and the amount of
data subsequently transmitted, before a stop or start is transmitted, determines the number of registers written.
As Figure 43 shows, a single-byte data write transfer begins with the master device transmitting a start condition
followed by the I2C device address and the read/write bit. The read/write bit determines the direction of the data
transfer. For a write data transfer, the read/write bit must be set to '0'. After receiving the correct I2C device
address and the read/write bit, the TPA2026D2 responds with an acknowledge bit. Next, the master transmits the
register byte corresponding to the TPA2026D2 internal memory address being accessed. After receiving the
register byte, the TPA2026D2 again responds with an acknowledge bit. Next, the master device transmits the
data byte to be written to the memory address being accessed. After receiving the register byte, the TPA2026D2
again responds with an acknowledge bit. Finally, the master device transmits a stop condition to complete the
single-byte data write transfer.
MULTIPLE-BYTE WRITE AND INCREMENTAL MULTIPLE-BYTE WRITE
A multiple-byte data write transfer is identical to a single-byte data write transfer except that multiple data bytes
are transmitted by the master device to the TPA2026D2 as shown in Figure 44. After receiving each data byte,
the TPA2026D2 responds with an acknowledge bit.
Figure 44. Multiple-Byte Write Transfer
SINGLE-BYTE READ
As Figure 45 shows, a single-byte data read transfer begins with the master device transmitting a start condition
followed by the I2C device address and the read/write bit. For the data read transfer, both a write followed by a
read are actually executed. Initially, a write is executed to transfer the address byte of the internal memory
address to be read. As a result, the read/write bit is set to a '0'.
After receiving the TPA2026D2 address and the read/write bit, the TPA2026D2 responds with an acknowledge
bit. The master then sends the internal memory address byte, after which the TPA2026D2 issues an
acknowledge bit. The master device transmits another start condition followed by the TPA2026D2 address and
the read/write bit again. This time the read/write bit is set to '1', indicating a read transfer. Next, the TPA2026D2
transmits the data byte from the memory address being read. After receiving the data byte, the master device
transmits a not-acknowledge followed by a stop condition to complete the single-byte data read transfer.
Figure 45. Single-Byte Read Transfer
MULTIPLE-BYTE READ
A multiple-byte data read transfer is identical to a single-byte data read transfer except that multiple data bytes
are transmitted by the TPA2026D2 to the master device as shown in Figure 46. With the exception of the last
data byte, the master device responds with an acknowledge bit after receiving each data byte.

The TPA2026D2 is a high-performance Class-D audio amplifier that requires adequate power supply decoupling
to ensure the efficiency is high and total harmonic distortion (THD) is low. For higher frequency transients,
spikes, or digital hash on the line, a good low equivalent-series-resistance (ESR) 1-mF ceramic capacitor
(typically) placed as close as possible to the device PVDD (L, R) lead works best. Placing this decoupling
capacitor close to the TPA2026D2 is important for the efficiency of the Class-D amplifier, because any resistance
or inductance in the trace between the device and the capacitor can cause a loss in efficiency. For filtering
lower-frequency noise signals, a 4.7 mF or greater capacitor placed near the audio power amplifier would also
help, but it is not required in most applications because of the high PSRR of this device.
INPUT CAPACITORS C
I
The input capacitors and input resistors form a high-pass filter with the corner frequency, fC, determined in
Equation 5.
(5)
The value of the input capacitor is important to consider as it directly affects the bass (low frequency)
performance of the circuit. Speakers in wireless phones cannot usually respond well to low frequencies, so the
corner frequency can be set to block low frequencies in this application. Not using input capacitors can increase
output offset. Equation 6 is used to solve for the input coupling capacitance. If the corner frequency is within the
audio band, the capacitors should have a tolerance of ±10% or better, because any mismatch in capacitance
causes an impedance mismatch at the corner frequency and below.

BOARD LAYOUT
In making the pad size for the WCSP balls, it is recommended that the layout use non solder mask defined
(NSMD) land. With this method, the solder mask opening is made larger than the desired land area, and the
opening size is defined by the copper pad width. Figure 47 and Table 5 show the appropriate diameters for a
WCSP layout. The TPA2026D2 evaluation module (EVM) layout is shown in the next section as a layout
example.
(1) Circuit traces from NSMD defined PWB lands should be 75 mm to 100 mm wide in the exposed area inside the solder mask opening.
Wider trace widths reduce device stand off and impact reliability.
(2) Best reliability results are achieved when the PWB laminate glass transition temperature is above the operating the range of the
intended application.
(3) Recommend solder paste is Type 3 or Type 4.
(4) For a PWB using a Ni/Au surface finish, the gold thickness should be less 0.5 mm to avoid a reduction in thermal fatigue performance.
(5) Solder mask thickness should be less than 20 mm on top of the copper circuit pattern
(6) Best solder stencil performance is achieved using laser cut stencils with electro polishing. Use of chemically etched stencils results in
inferior solder paste volume control.
(7) Trace routing away from WCSP device should be balanced in X and Y directions to avoid unintentional component movement due to
solder wetting forces.

COMPONENT LOCATION
Place all external components very close to the TPA2026D2. Placing the decoupling capacitor, CS, close to the
TPA2026D2 is important for the efficiency of the Class-D amplifier. Any resistance or inductance in the trace
between the device and the capacitor can cause a loss in efficiency.
TRACE WIDTH
Recommended trace width at the solder balls is 75 mm to 100 mm to prevent solder wicking onto wider PCB
traces. For high current pins (PVDD (L, R), PGND, and audio output pins) of the TPA2026D2, use 100-mm trace
widths at the solder balls and at least 500-mm PCB traces to ensure proper performance and output power for
the device. For the remaining signals of the TPA2026D2, use 75-mm to 100-mm trace widths at the solder balls.
The audio input pins (INR± and INL±) must run side-by-side to maximize common-mode noise cancellation.
The maximum ambient temperature depends on the heat-sinking ability of the PCB system. The derating factor
for the package is shown in the dissipation rating table. Converting this to qJAfor the WCSP package:
(7)
Given qJAof 100°C/W, the maximum allowable junction temperature of 150°C, and the maximum internal
dissipation of 0.4 W (0.2 W per channel) for 1.5 W per channel, 8-Ω load, 5-V supply, from Figure 15, the
maximum ambient temperature can be calculated with the following equation.
(8)
Equation 8 shows that the calculated maximum ambient temperature is 110°C at maximum power dissipation
with a 5-V supply and 8-Ω a load. The TPA2026D2 is designed with thermal protection that turns the device off
when the junction temperature surpasses 150°C to prevent damage to the IC. Also, using speakers more
resistive than 8-Ω dramatically increases the thermal performance by reducing the output current and increasing
the efficiency of the amplifier.
OPERATION WITH DACS AND CODECS
In using Class-D amplifiers with CODECs and DACs, sometimes there is an increase in the output noise floor
from the audio amplifier. This occurs when output frequencies of the CODEC/DAC mix with the Class-D
switching frequency and create sum/difference components in the audio band. The noise increase can be solved
by placing an RC low-pass filter between the CODEC/DAC and audio amplifier. The filter reduces high
frequencies that cause the problem and allows proper performance.
SHORT CIRCUIT AUTO-RECOVERY
When a short circuit event happens, the TPA2026D2 goes to low duty cycle mode and tries to reactivate itself
every 110 µs. This auto-recovery will continue until the short circuit event stops. This feature can protect the
device without affecting the device's long term reliability. FAULT bit (register 1, bit 3) still requires a write to clear.
FILTER FREE OPERATION AND FERRITE BEAD FILTERS
A ferrite bead filter can often be used if the design is failing radiated emissions without an LC filter and the
frequency sensitive circuit is greater than 1 MHz. This filter functions well for circuits that just have to pass FCC
and CE because FCC and CE only test radiated emissions greater than 30 MHz. When choosing a ferrite bead,
choose one with high impedance at high frequencies, and low impedance at low frequencies. In addition, select a
ferrite bead with adequate current rating to prevent distortion of the output signal.
Use an LC output filter if there are low frequency (< 1 MHz) EMI sensitive circuits and/or there are long leads
from amplifier to speaker. Figure 48 shows typical ferrite bead and LC output filters.
