PRODUCTION DATA
The TPA3223 input stage is a fully differential input stage and the input impedance changes with the gain setting from 7.3 kΩ at 36 dB gain to 48 kΩ at 20 dB gain. Table 9-2 lists the values from min to max gain. The tolerance of the input resistor value is ±20 % so the minimum value is higher than 5.8 kΩ. The inputs need to be AC-coupled to minimize the output DC-offset and ensure correct ramping of the output voltages during power-ON and power-OFF. The input ac-coupling capacitor together with the input impedance forms a high-pass filter with the following cut-off frequency:
If a flat bass response is required down to 20 Hz, then the recommended cut-off frequency is a tenth of that, which is 2 Hz. Table 9-2 lists the recommended ac-couplings capacitors for each gain step. If a -3 dB in frequency response is accepted at 20 Hz, then 10 times lower capacitors can be used – for example, a 1 μF can be used.
Gain | Input Impedance | Input AC-Coupling Capacitance | Input High Pass Filter |
---|---|---|---|
20 dB | 48 kΩ | 4.7 µF | 0.7 Hz |
23.5 dB | 24 kΩ | 10 µF | 0.7 Hz |
32 dB | 12 kΩ | 10 µF | 1.3 Hz |
36 dB | 7.3 kΩ | 10 µF | 2.2 Hz |
Use an input capacitors with low leakage, like quality electrolytic, tantalum, film or ceramic. If a polarized type of input capacitor is used, then place the positive connection such that the capacitor has a positive DC bias.
