Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
TAS5342LA can be configured either in stereo BTL mode, 4 channel SE mode, or mono PBTL mode, depending on output power conditions and system design.
The following schematics and PCB layouts illustrate "best practices" in the use of the TAS5342LA.
For this design example, use the parameters listed in Table 5 as the input parameters.
DESIGN PARAMETER | EXAMPLE VALUE |
---|---|
Low Power (pull-up) supply | 3.3 V |
Mid Power Supply (GVDD, VDD) | 12 V |
High Power Supply (PVDD) | 12 V – 36 V |
PWM Inputs | INPUT A = 0 – 3.3 V PWM |
INPUT_B = 0 – 3.3 V PWM | |
INPUT_C = 0 – 3.3 V PWM | |
INPUT_D = 0 – 3.3 V PWM | |
Speaker Impedance | 4 Ω – 8 Ω |
FR-4 Glass Epoxy material with 2 oz. (70 μm) is recommended for use with the TAS5342LA. The use of this material can provide for higher power output, improved thermal performance, and better EMI margin (due to lower PCB trace inductance.
The large capacitors used in conjunction with each full-birdge, are referred to as the PVDD Capacitors. These capacitors should be selected for proper voltage margin and adequate capacitance to support the power requirements. In practice, with a well designed system power supply, 1000 μF, 50-V supports more applications. The PVDD capacitors should be low ESR type because they are used in a circuit associated with high-speed switching.
In order to design an amplifier that has robust performance, passes regulatory requirements, and exhibits good audio performance, good quality decoupling capacitors should be used. In practice, X7R should be used in this application.
The voltage of the decoupling capacitors should be selected in accordance with good design practices. Temperature, ripple current, and voltage overshoot must be considered. This fact is particularly true in the selection of the 0.1 μF that is placed on the power supply to each half-bridge. It must withstand the voltage overshoot of the PWM switching, the heat generated by the amplifier during high power output, and the ripple current created by high power output. A minimum voltage rating of 50-V is required for use with a 32 V power supply.
