NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
These typical connection diagrams highlight the required external components and system level connections for proper operation of the device in several popular use cases. Each of these configurations can be created using the Evaluation Modules (EVMs) for the device. These flexible modules allow full evaluation of the device in the most common modes of operation. Any design variation can be supported by TI through schematic and layout reviews. Visit TI.com for design assistance and join the audio amplifier discussion forum for additional information.
Figure 34 shows the TPA2010D1 typical schematic with differential inputs and Figure 38 shows the TPA2010D1 with differential inputs and input capacitors, and Figure 39 shows the TPA2010D1 with single-ended inputs. Differential inputs should be used whenever possible because the single-ended inputs are more susceptible to noise.
Use the values listed in Table 1 as the design requirements. The TPA2010D1 can be used with differential input without input capacitors. This section describes the design considerations for this application.
Use the values listed in Table 1 as the design requirements.

The input resistors (RI) set the gain of the amplifier according to Equation 19.
Resistor matching is very important in fully differential amplifiers. The balance of the output on the reference voltage depends on matched ratios of the resistors. CMRR, PSRR, and cancellation of the second harmonic distortion diminish if resistor mismatch occurs. Therefore, TI recommends to use 1% tolerance resistors or better to keep the performance optimized. Matching is more important than overall tolerance. Resistor arrays with 1% matching can be used with a tolerance greater than 1%.
Place the input resistors very close to the TPA2010D1 to limit noise injection on the high-impedance nodes.
For optimal performance, set the gain to 2 V/V or lower. Lower gain allows the TPA2010D1 to operate at its best, and keeps a high voltage at the input making the inputs less susceptible to noise.
The TPA2010D1 is a high-performance class-D audio amplifier that requires adequate power supply decoupling to ensure the efficiency is high and total harmonic distortion (THD) is low. For higher frequency transients, spikes, or digital hash on the line, a good low equivalent-series-resistance (ESR) ceramic capacitor, typically
1 µF, placed as close as possible to the device VDD lead works best. Placing this decoupling capacitor close to the TPA2010D1 is very important for the efficiency of the class-D amplifier, because any resistance or inductance in the trace between the device and the capacitor can cause a loss in efficiency. For filtering lower-frequency noise signals, a 10 µF or greater capacitor placed near the audio power amplifier would also help, but it is not required in most applications because of the high PSRR of this device.
The TPA20010D1 supports differential input operation with input capacitors. This section describes the design considerations for this application.
Refer to the Design Requirements section.
Refer to the Detailed Design Procedure section.
The TPA2010D1 does not require input coupling capacitors if the design uses a differential source that is biased from 0.5 V to VDD –0.8 V (shown in Figure 34). If the input signal is not biased within the recommended common-mode input range, if needing to use the input as a high pass filter (shown in Figure 38), or if using a single-ended source (shown in Figure 39), input coupling capacitors are required.
The input capacitors and input resistors form a high-pass filter with the corner frequency, fc, determined in Equation 20.
The value of the input capacitor is important to consider as it directly affects the bass (low frequency) performance of the circuit. Speakers in wireless phones cannot usually respond well to low frequencies, so the corner frequency can be set to block low frequencies in this application.
Equation 21 is reconfigured to solve for the input coupling capacitance.
If the corner frequency is within the audio band, the capacitors should have a tolerance of ±10% or better, because any mismatch in capacitance causes an impedance mismatch at the corner frequency and below.
For a flat low-frequency response, use large input coupling capacitors (1 µF). However, in a GSM phone the ground signal is fluctuating at 217 Hz, but the signal from the codec does not have the same 217 Hz fluctuation. The difference between the two signals is amplified, sent to the speaker, and heard as a 217 Hz hum.
