10.2.2.5 Input Capacitor, Ci

In the typical application, an input capacitor (Ci) is required to allow the amplifier to bias the input signal to the proper dc level for optimum operation. In this case, Ci and the input impedance of the amplifier (Zi) form a high-pass filter with the corner frequency determined in Equation 2.

Equation 2. TPA3136D2 TPA3136AD2 q_fc_los469.gif

The value of Ci is important, as it directly affects the bass (low-frequency) performance of the circuit. Consider the example where Zi is 30 kΩ and the specification calls for a flat bass response down to 20 Hz. Equation 2 is reconfigured as Equation 3.

Equation 3. TPA3136D2 TPA3136AD2 q_ci_los469.gif

In this example, Ci is 0.27 µF; so, one would likely choose a value of 0.33 μF as this value is commonly used. A further consideration for this capacitor is the leakage path from the input source through the input network (Ci) and the feedback network to the load. This leakage current creates a dc offset voltage at the input to the amplifier that reduces useful headroom. For this reason, a low-leakage tantalum or ceramic capacitor is the best choice. When polarized capacitors are used, the positive side of the capacitor should face the amplifier input in most applications as the dc level there is held at 3 V, which is likely higher than the source dc level. Note that it is important to confirm the capacitor polarity in the application. Additionally, lead-free solder can create dc offset voltages and it is important to ensure that boards are cleaned properly.
