8.3.3 AD-Mode and HEAD-Mode PWM Modulation

TPA3221 has the option of using either AD-Mode or HEAD-Mode PWM modulation scheme. AD mode has continuous switching of the two half bridge outputs in each BTL output channel. Both half bridge outputs are switching in HEAD mode, but with reduced duty cycle for idle operation and while playing small signals. With higher output levels one half bridge stops switching on HEAD mode operation. HEAD benefits both device power loss and EMI performance, where AD mode is considered to have the highest audio performance.
