SLASEP6B September 2019 – December 2020 TPA6304-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
The PWM converts the input audio data into a switched signal of varying duty cycle. The PWM modulator is an advanced design with high bandwidth, low noise, low distortion, and excellent stability.
The TPA6304-Q1, by default, generates its own internal clock signals. This mode of operation is called clock primary mode. The output switching rate is selectable via I2C, Miscellaneous Control Register 2. If desired, an external frequency source can be used to drive the switching output. This signal can be sent to the device using a GPIO Pin. The source frequency is 4x the selected switching frequency. By default, the four channels switches out of phase with a phase offset of 90 degrees between each channel. With 90 degree phase shift and 2.1 MHz switching frequency, the combined ripple current of all output channels are combined such that the effective ripple current has its fundamental at 8.4 MHz This enables the use of smaller and lower cost external filtering components due to lower power supply ripple.
For best EMI results the high frequency clock signals support spread spectrum control.
