4.5 Gate driving network
The main purpose of the 27 Ohm resistors Rd-N-L, Rd-P-L, Rd-N-R and Rd-P-R are the
following:
● 1) Dumping of the L-C equivalent circuit done by the parasitic inductance and
capacitance present in the circuit
● 2) Reduction of the dv/dt of the Vgs and then reduction of the di/dt of the drain current
of the power MOS.
The R-C snubber network done by:
– Rs-N-L, Cs-N-L
–Rs-P-L, Cs-P-L
– Rs-N-R, Cs-N-R
– Rs-P-R, Cs-P-R
Are in the direction to increase the dumping (point 1) and reduce the dv/dt (point 2.
The value of these components is also depending on the layout structure. With a reduction
of the parasitic inductance present in the P.C. board layout, in the region around the power
transistors, the value of these components can be reduced, giving advantage in terms of
THD, mainly at mid-high power levels, due to the reduction of the "dead zone".
The minimum suggested value of Rd-x-x is around 10, while, is some cases, Rs-x-x and
Cs-x-x can be removed.
4.6 External connections
● CD, THWEXT, THWINT
These pins, if used, it must be connected to a pull-up resistor (>10k) connected to a
supply voltage referred to the receiver device (as example, a P). Max 10V.
● MUTE - To have a soft mute-play and play-mute transition, an R-C network can be
applied (as example 47k, 1F)
● ST-BY - To avoid pop noise due to multiple ST-BY parasitic pulses, an R-C network can
be added (as example 47k, 0.1F)
● +V
s
-low - This pin supply the low voltage circuits. It can be connected to the +Vs or to
a reference voltage comprising between 12V to +Vs.
