PRODUCTION DATA.
Minimize trace impedance of the power, ground and all output traces for optimum performance. Voltage loss due to trace resistance between the LM48100Q-Q1 and the load results in decreased output power and efficiency. Trace resistance between the power supply and ground has the same effect as a poorly regulated supply, increased ripple and reduced peak output power. Use wide traces for power supply inputs and amplifier outputs to minimize losses due to trace resistance, as well as route heat away from the device. Proper grounding improves audio performance, minimizes crosstalk between channels and prevents digital noise from interfering with the audio signal. Use of power and ground planes is recommended.
Place all digital components and route digital signal traces as far as possible from analog components and traces. Do not run digital and analog traces in parallel on the same PCB layer. If digital and analog signal lines must cross either over or under each other, ensure that they cross in a perpendicular fashion.
The LM48100Q-Q1 HTSSOP-EP package features an exposed die-attach (thermal) pad on its backside. The exposed pad provides a direct heat conduction path from the die to the PCB, reducing the thermal resistance of the package. Connect the exposed pad to GND with a large pad and via to a large GND plane on the bottom of the PCB for best heat distribution.
