GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SSM2375 is a fully integrated, high efficiency, Class-D audio
amplifier. It is designed to maximize performance for mobile
phone applications. The application circuit requires a minimum
of external components and operates from a single 2.5 V to 5.5 V
supply. It is capable of delivering 3 W of continuous output power
with <1% THD + N driving a 3 Ω load from a 5.0 V supply.
The SSM2375 features a high efficiency, low noise modulation
scheme that requires no external LC output filters. The modulation
continues to provide high efficiency even at low output power.
The SSM2375 operates with 93% efficiency at 1.4 W into 8 Ω
or with 85% efficiency at 3 W into 3 Ω from a 5.0 V supply and
has an SNR of >100 dB.
Spread-spectrum pulse density modulation (PDM) is used to
provide lower EMI-radiated emissions compared with other
Class-D architectures. The inherent randomized nature of
spread-spectrum PDM eliminates the clock intermodulation
(beating effect) of several amplifiers in close proximity.
The SSM2375 includes an optional modulation select pin
(ultralow EMI emissions mode) that significantly reduces the
radiated emissions at the Class-D outputs, particularly above
100 MHz. In ultralow EMI emissions mode, the SSM2375
can pass FCC Class B radiated emission testing with 50 cm,
unshielded speaker cable without any external filtering.
The device also includes a highly flexible gain select pin that
allows the user to select a gain of 0 dB, 3 dB, 6 dB, 9 dB, or
12 dB. The gain selection feature improves gain matching
between multiple SSM2375 devices within a single application
as compared to using external resistors to set the gain.
The SSM2375 has a micropower shutdown mode with a typical
shutdown current of 20 nA. Shutdown is enabled by applying
a logic low to the
SD
pin.
The device also includes pop-and-click suppression circuitry.
This suppression circuitry minimizes voltage glitches at the
output during turn-on and turn-off, reducing audible noise
on activation and deactivation.
Other features that simplify system-level integration of the
SSM2375 include input low-pass filtering to suppress out-of-band
DAC noise interference to the PDM modulator and fixed-input
impedance to simplify component selection across multiple
platform production builds.
The SSM2375 is specified over the industrial temperature range
of −40°C to +85°C. It has built-in thermal shutdown and output
short-circuit protection. It is available in a halide-free, 9-ball,
1.5 mm × 1.5 mm wafer level chip scale package (WLCSP).
