8 Applications and Implementation

8.1 Application Information

The TAS2553 is a digital or analog input high efficiency Class-D audio power amplifier with advanced battery current management and an integrated Class-G boost converter. In auto passthrough mode, the Class-G boost converter generates the Class-D amplifier supply rail. During low Class-D output power, the boost improves efficiency by deactivating and connecting VBAT directly to the Class-D amplifier supply. When high power audio is required, the boost quickly activates to provide louder audio than a stand-alone amplifier connected directly to the battery. To enable load monitoring, the TAS2553 constantly measures the current and voltage across the load and provides a digital stream of this information back to a processor.

8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure

8.2.1.2.1 Audio Input/Output

The choice of digital or analog audio input is driven by system specific considerations. However, since a digital audio interface will typically be used to send current and voltage data from the TAS2553 to a system processor, using a bidirectional I2S interface is likely to be the best choice.

If a digital audio input is used, the analog inputs, IN+ and IN-, should be shorted together, and not tied to ground.

8.2.1.2.2 Mono/Stereo Configuration

In this application, the device is assumed to be operating in mono mode. See General I2C Operation for information on changing the I2C address of the TAS2553 to support stereo operation. Mono or stereo configuration does not impact the device performance.

8.2.1.2.3 Boost Converter Passive Devices

The boost converter requires three passive devices that are labeled L1, C1 and C2 in Figure 51 and whose specifications are provided in Table 11. These specifications are based on the design of TAS2553 and are necessary to meet the performance targets of the device. In particular, L1 should not be allowed to enter in the current saturation region.

Specifically, the product of L1 and C2 (derated value at 8.5 V) has to be greater than 10e-12 for boost stability after accounting worst case variation of L1 and C2. To satisfy sufficient energy transfer, L1 needs to be > 2 µH at the boost switching frequency (~1.75 MHz). Minimum C2 (derated value at 8.5 V) should be > 4 µF for Class-D power delivery specification. The saturation current for L1 should be > ILIM to deliver Class-D peak power.

8.2.1.2.4 EMI Passive Devices

The TAS2553 supports edge-rate control to minimize EMI, but the system designer may want to include passive devices on the Class-D output devices. These passive devices that are labeled L2, L3, C3 and C4 in Figure 51 and their recommended specifications are provided in Table 11. If C3 and C4 are used, they must be placed after L2 and L3 respectively to maintain the stability of the output stage.

8.2.1.2.5 Miscellaneous Passive Devices

  • VREG Capacitor: Needs to be 10 nF to meet boost and class-D power delivery and efficiency specs.
  • BIAS Capacitor: Needs to be 1 µF to meet PSSR and noise performance.

8.2.2 Typical Application - Analog Audio Input

Using the analog audio input is very similar to the digital audio input case in Typical Application - Digital Audio Input, and this section will only discuss the differences from the digital input configuration.

8.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

8.2.2.2.1 Audio Input/Output

In this application, system considerations require the use of an analog audio input. Note that a digital audio interface, such as I2S, still needs to be connected to send current and voltage data from the TAS2553 to a system processor.

The analog inputs to TAS2553 should be ac-coupled to the device terminals to allow decoupling of signal source's common mode voltage with that of TAS2553's common mode voltage. The input coupling capacitor in combination with the selected input impedance of TAS2553 forms a high-pass filter.

Equation 3. Fc = 1/(2*π*RinCc)
Equation 4. Cc = 1/(2*π*RinFc)
TAS_schem_app_ana_in_1r_las898.gifFigure 57. Analog Input Connection

For high fidelity audio playback, it is desirable to keep the cutoff frequency of the high pass filter below the minimum reproducible frequency of the speaker. For example, a 1 µF capacitor connected to the differential analog inputs with input resistance 10 kΩ results in a cutoff frequency of 16 Hz.
