TDF8590TH
2 × 80 W SE (4 Ω) or 1 × 160 W BTL (8 Ω) class-D amplifier
Peak output current, internally limited to 8 A:
SE: A
BTL: A
Variables:
R
L
= load resistance
R
s(L)
= series resistance of the filter coil
R
DSon(hs)
= high side drain source on-state resistance (temperature dependent)
R
DSon(ls)
= low side drain source on-state resistance (temperature dependent)
f
osc
= oscillator frequency
t
w(min)
= minimum pulse width (typical 150 ns, temperature dependent)
V
P
= supply voltage [or 0.5 (V
DD
+ V
SS
)]
P
o(0.5%)
= output power at the onset of clipping
I
OM
should be below 8 A (see Section 7). I
OM
is the sum of the current through the load
and the ripple current. The value of the ripple current is dependent on the coil inductance
and voltage drop over the coil.
12.3 External clock
If two or more class-D amplifiers are used it is recommended that all devices run at the
same switching frequency. This can be realized by connecting all OSC pins together and
feed them from an external oscillator.
The internal oscillator requires an external R
ext(OSC)
and C
ext(OSC)
between pins OSC and
V
SSA
. For application of an external oscillator it is necessary to force OSC to a DC level
above SGND. The internal oscillator is disabled and the PWM modulator will switch with
the external frequency. The duty cycle of the external clock should be between 47.5 %
and 52.5 %.
The noise contribution of the internal oscillator is supply voltage dependent. In low noise
applications running at high supply voltage an external low noise oscillator is
recommended.
12.4 Noise
Noise should be measured using a high-order low-pass filter with a cut-off frequency of
20 kHz. The standard audio band pass filters used in audio analyzers do not suppress the
residue of the carrier frequency sufficiently to ensure a reliable measurement of the
audible noise. Noise measurements should preferably be carried out using AES 17 (Brick
Wall) filters or the Audio Precision AUX 0025 filter, which was designed especially for
measuring switching (class-D) amplifiers.
