DESCRIPTION
The TPA6205A1 is a 1.25-W mono fully differential
amplifier designed to drive a speaker with at least
8- Ω impedance while consuming less than 37 mm
(ZQV package option) total printed-circuit board
(PCB) area in most applications. This device
operates from 2.5 V to 5.5 V, drawing only 1.7 mA of
quiescent supply current. The TPA6205A1 is
available in the space-saving 2 mm x 2 mm
MicroStar Junior™ BGA package, and the space
saving 3 mm x 3 mm QFN (DRB) package.
Features like 85-dB PSRR from 90 Hz to 5 kHz,
improved RF-rectification immunity, and small PCB
area makes the TPA6205A1 ideal for wireless
handsets. A fast start-up time of 4 µ s with minimal
pop makes the TPA6205A1 ideal for PDA
applications.

FULLY DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER
The TPA6205A1 is a fully differential amplifier with
differential inputs and outputs. The fully differential
amplifier consists of a differential amplifier and a
common- mode amplifier. The differential amplifier
ensures that the amplifier outputs a differential
voltage that is equal to the differential input times the
gain. The common-mode feedback ensures that the
common-mode voltage at the output is biased
around V
voltage at the input.
Advantages of Fully Differential Amplifiers
• Input coupling capacitors not required: A fully
differential amplifier with good CMRR, like the
TPA6205A1, allows the inputs to be biased at
voltage other than mid-supply. For example, if a
DAC has mid-supply lower than the mid-supply
of the TPA6205A1, the common-mode feedback
circuit adjusts for that, and the TPA6205A1
outputs are still biased at mid-supply of the
TPA6205A1. The inputs of the TPA6205A1 can
be biased from 0.5 V to V
are biased outside of that range, input coupling
capacitors are required.

• Mid-supply bypass capacitor, C
required: The fully differential amplifier does not
require a bypass capacitor. This is because any
shift in the mid-supply affects both positive and
negative channels equally and cancels at the
differential output. However, removing the
bypass capacitor slightly worsens power supply
rejection ratio (k
k
may be acceptable when an additional
SVR
), but a slight decrease of
SVR
component can be eliminated (see Figure 17 ).
• Better RF-immunity: GSM handsets save power
by turning on and shutting off the RF transmitter
at a rate of 217 Hz. The transmitted signal is
picked-up on input and output traces. The fully
differential amplifier cancels the signal much
better than the typical audio amplifier.
