SLOS810A October 2019 – August 2020 TPA3139D2
PRODUCTION DATA
The differential input stage of the amplifier cancels any noise that appears on both input lines of the channel. To use the TPA3139D2 device with a differential source, connect the positive lead of the audio source to the INP input and the negative lead from the audio source to the INN input. To use the TPA3139D2 with a single-ended source, ac ground the INP or INN input through a capacitor equal in value to the input capacitor on INN or INP and apply the audio source to either input. In a single-ended input application, the unused input should be ac grounded at the audio source instead of at the device input for best noise performance. For good transient performance, the impedance seen at each of the two differential inputs should be the same.
The impedance seen at the inputs should be limited to an RC time constant of 3 ms or less if possible. This is to allow the input dc blocking capacitors to become completely charged during the 50-ms power-up time. If the input capacitors are not allowed to completely charge, there is some additional sensitivity to component matching which can result in pop if the input components are not well matched.
