SLOS907C April 2015 – December 2017 TPA3144D2
PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPA3144D2 has built-in gain limiters with two operation modes for load and system protection: Voltage limiting and temperature limiting. The voltage limiting mode controls the TPA3144D2 voltage gain to limit the output signal without signal clipping, and the temperature control mode limits the device power dissipation to keep the die temperature within recommended operating conditions. Both voltage limiter and thermal limiter attack and release speeds (time per 0.5dB gain step) are controlled by the LIMRATE pin:
LIMRATE VOLTAGE | MODE | AGL ATTACK TIME | TFB ATTACK TIME | AGL/TFB RELEASE TIME |
GVDD | FAST | 40 µs | 200 ms | 400 ms |
2/3·GVDD | MEDIUM | 80 µs | 400 ms | 800 ms |
1/3·GVDD | SLOW | 160 µs | 800 ms | 1600 ms |
GND | PLIMIT | DISABLED | DISABLED | DISABLED |
LIMRATE accepts a 4-level input signal to setup operation. When LIMRATE is connected to GND, the voltage limiter function is changed to a hard clip action to control the maximum output voltage.
