3.2 The TPA005D02 Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module The TPA005D02 Class D Stereo Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module is powered by a TPA005D02 class D stereo power amplifier integrated circuit capable of delivering greater than 2 W of continuous power per channel into 4- loads.
BTL operation at a supply voltage of 5 V, each channel of the TPA005D02 amplifier IC is capable of 2 W of continuous output power into a 4- load at 0.8% total harmonic distortion + noise (THD+N) over a frequency range of 20Hz –...
The triangle wave must be operating at a much higher frequency than the highest frequency component of the input signal in order to get an accurate representation at the amplifier output. The TPA005D02 EVM uses a 250 kHz switching rate to sample the input, which is more than ten times higher than the highest frequency component of the 20 Hz to 20kHz audio input range.

BTL operation provides many benefits, including quadruple the output power of single-ended operation and no need for bulky output coupling capacitors. For more information, see the TPA005D02 amplifier IC data sheet, TI Literature Number SLOS205. To operate in the bridge-tied load output mode, the module output signal from OUT+ must go through the speaker load and be returned directly to OUT–, and...

The TPA005D02 Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module 3.2.3.2 Output Filter Class D amplifiers require special filtering at the output to remove the high-frequency switching component and accurately reconstruct the audio signal. The output filter is a low-pass filter (LPF) which sets the high frequency –3-dB point of the bandwidth.
To frequency scale, each component is divided by Hertz): Because the TPA005D02 is a bridged amplifier, this filter is needed at both the positive and negative output. This means that R filter, so for a bridged application, R calculations.
The TPA005D02 Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module The component equations adjusted for bridged amplifiers are To find component values, let f second. If a 4- speaker is used, R = 0.94 F. Additional capacitors can be added from each side of R to provide a high-frequency short to ground.

The TPA005D02 Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module 3.2.3.3 Power Filtering Power supply considerations include power supply decoupling and high frequency bypass loops. Electrolytic capacitors are used for decoupling and ceramic or mica capacitors are used for high frequency bypass applications.

The success of the solid ground plane is partially due to the TPA005D02 IC, which allows the designer to keep the input and output sections of the chip separated, reducing the chance that high- and mid-frequency return currents will make a path to the analog input section of the chip.

Shutdown The shutdown control (IC pin 1) is activated by a logic low. Shutdown limits the supply current of the TPA005D02 to 400 A to conserve power in low power applications. The shutdown circuit (IC pin 1) consists of D1, Q1, R1, R2, R3, R4, C1, and S2, a relatively large number of components.
The TPA005D02 Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module Fault Indicator The TPA005D02 IC has two fault indicator pins (IC pins 41 and 42) to indicate an under-voltage condition or a thermal fault. When the device is operating normally, both pins are pulled up to the supply voltage through R6/D2 and R7/D3.
To illustrate how the output transistors of a class D amplifier operate, a half-bridge application is examined first (Figure 3–9). Figure 3–9. Half-Bridge Class D Output Stage The TPA005D02 Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module is the supply power. ) and the switching times of the output transistors are zero.
The TPA005D02 Audio Power Amplifier Evaluation Module Figures 3–10 and 3–11 show the currents and voltages of the half-bridge circuit. When transistor M1 is on and M2 is off, the inductor current is approximately equal to the supply current. When M2 switches on and M1 switches off, the supply current drops to zero, but the inductor keeps the inductor current from dropping.

400 A compared to approximately 10 mA in the mute mode. 3.3.2.2 S2 — Mute Switch Pushbutton switch S2 on the TPA005D02 class D EVM allows manual muting of the amplifier IC. S2 connects the amplifier IC MUTE pin to ground, muting the output.
The audio signal from input jacks can be applied to the signal conditioning socket (U1) if an EVM is installed there, or socket U1 can be bypassed and the audio input signal applied directly to the inputs of the TPA005D02 class D EVM.
The TPA005D02 class D EVM is equipped with a mute control input pin. When this input is tied to GND, the TPA005D02 amplifier IC on the module enters the mute mode and dissipates very little power. When the EVM control input is tied to V or allowed to float, amplifier operation resumes.
V evaluation module installed on it. Although the TPA005D02 amplifier IC draws approximately 2 A from the power supply during continuous full power output, peak current draw can be as high as 5 A. Any power supply connected to the platform should be capable of providing 5 A of current to avoid clipping of the output signal during peaks.

TPA005D02 Class D EVM Measured Characteristics THD+N versus frequency is shown in Figure 3–24, and correlates with the data shown in Figure 3–23. The rise in distortion at higher frequencies is due primarily to the increase in crosstalk with frequency (Figure 3–25). The crosstalk was measured at full output power, which is the worst-case scenario.
