Gain Setting via GAIN Pin

The gain of the TPA3144D2 is set by a voltage applied to the GAIN pin, which is set by a resistor voltage divider with GVDD as supply voltage. The resistance of the voltage divider should be a minimum of 100 kΩ in order not to overload the GVDD regulator of TPA3144D2.

TPA3144D2 GAIN.gifFigure 16. GAIN Pin Voltage Programming by GVDD Resistor Divider

The gains listed in Table 1 are realized by changing the taps on the input resistors and feedback resistors inside the amplifier. This causes the input impedance (Zi) to be dependent on the gain setting. The actual gain settings are controlled by ratios of resistors, so the gain variation from part-to-part is small. However, the input impedance from part-to-part at the same gain may shift by ±20% due to shifts in the actual resistance of the input resistors. The selected input gain is latched at device start up and cannot be changed when SD is high.

For design purposes, the input network (discussed in the next section) should be designed assuming an input impedance of 7.2 kΩ, which is the absolute minimum input impedance of the TPA3144D2. At the lower gain settings, the input impedance could increase as high as 72 kΩ.
