PRODUCTION DATA.
In making the pad size for the WCSP balls, TI recommends that the layout use non solder mask-defined (NSMD) land. With this method, the solder mask opening is made larger than the desired land area, and the opening size is defined by the copper pad width. Figure 51 and Table 16 show the appropriate diameters for a WCSP layout. The TPA2026D2 evaluation module (EVM) layout is shown in Layout Example.
SOLDER PAD DEFINITIONS | COPPER PAD | SOLDER MASK(5) OPENING | COPPER THICKNESS | STENCIL(6) (7) OPENING | STENCIL THICKNESS |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Non solder mask defined (NSMD) | 275 μm (+0.0, –25 μm) |
375 μm (+0.0, –25 μm) |
1 oz max (32 μm) | 275 μm × 275 μm Sq. (rounded corners) | 125 μm thick |
Place all external components very close to the TPA2026D2. Placing the decoupling capacitor, CS, close to the TPA2026D2 is important for the efficiency of the Class-D amplifier. Any resistance or inductance in the trace between the device and the capacitor can cause a loss in efficiency.
Recommended trace width at the solder balls is 75 μm to 100 μm to prevent solder wicking onto wider PCB traces. For high current pins (PVDD (L, R), PGND, and audio output pins) of the TPA2026D2, use 100-μm trace widths at the solder balls and at least 500-μm PCB traces to ensure proper performance and output power for the device. For the remaining signals of the TPA2026D2, use 75-μm to 100-μm trace widths at the solder balls. The audio input pins (INR± and INL±) must run side-by-side to maximize common-mode noise cancellation.
The maximum ambient temperature depends on the heat-sinking ability of the PCB system. The derating factor for the package is shown in the dissipation rating table. Converting this to θJA for the DSBGA package:
Given θJA of 100°C/W, the maximum allowable junction temperature of 150°C, and the maximum internal dissipation of 0.4 W (0.2 W per channel) for 1.5 W per channel, 8-Ω load, 5-V supply, from Figure 15, the maximum ambient temperature can be calculated with the following equation.
Equation 8 shows that the calculated maximum ambient temperature is 110°C at maximum power dissipation with a 5-V supply and 8-Ω a load. The TPA2026D2 is designed with thermal protection that turns the device off when the junction temperature surpasses 150°C to prevent damage to the IC. Also, using speakers more resistive than 8-Ω dramatically increases the thermal performance by reducing the output current and increasing the efficiency of the amplifier.
