Keeping the external components very close to the TPA0211 to limit noise pickup is very important to limit noise pickup. Placing the decoupling capacitors as close as possible to the device is important for the performance of the class-AB amplifier.
The maximum ambient temperature depends on the heat sinking ability of the PCB system. The derating factor for the DGN package is shown in the Dissipation Ratings. Converting this θJA can be done with Equation 14.
To calculate maximum ambient temperatures, first consider that the numbers from the dissipation graphs are per channel so the dissipated power needs to be doubled for two channel operation. Given RθJA, the maximum allowable junction temperature, and the total internal dissipation, the maximum ambient temperature can be calculated with Equation 15. The maximum recommended junction temperature for the TPA0211 is 150°C.
NOTE
Internal dissipation of 0.8 W is estimated for a 2-W system with 15-dB crest factor per channel.
Table 3 shows that for some applications no airflow is required to keep junction temperatures in the specified range. The TPA0211 is designed with thermal protection that turns the device off when the junction temperature surpasses 150°C to prevent damage to the IC. Table 3 was calculated for maximum listening volume without distortion. When the output level is reduced the numbers in the table change significantly. Also, using 8-Ω speakers dramatically increases the thermal performance by increasing amplifier efficiency.
