PRODUCTION DATA.
The VDD supply required from the system is used to power several portions of the device. It provides power to internal regulators DVDD and AVDD that are used to power digital and analog sections of the device, respectively. Proper connection, routing, and decoupling techniques are highlighted in the TPA3255 device EVM User's Guide (SLOU441) (as well as the Application Information section and Layout Examples section) and must be followed as closely as possible for proper operation and performance. Deviation from the guidance offered in the TPA3255 device EVM User's Guide (SLOU441), which followed the same techniques as those shown in the Application Information section, may result in reduced performance, errant functionality, or even damage to the TPA3255-Q1 device. Some portions of the device also require a separate power supply which is a lower voltage than the VDD supply. To simplify the power supply requirements for the system, the TPA3255-Q1 device includes integrated low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators to create these supplies. These linear regulators are internally connected to the VDD supply and their outputs are presented on AVDD and DVDD pins, providing a connection point for an external bypass capacitors. It is important to note that the linear regulators integrated in the device have only been designed to support the current requirements of the internal circuitry, and should not be used to power any additional external circuitry. Additional loading on these pins could cause the voltage to sag and increase noise injection, which negatively affects the performance and operation of the device.
