PRODUCTION DATA
The output stage of the speaker amplifier drives the load using the PVDD supply. This is the power supply which provides the drive current to the load during playback. Proper connection, routing, and decoupling techniques are highlighted in the TPA3223 device EVM User's Guide (as well as Section 10.1 and Section 10.4.2) and must be followed as closely as possible for proper operation and performance. Due to the high-voltage switching of the output stage, it is particularly important to properly decouple the output power stages in the manner described in the TPA3223 device EVM User's Guide. The lack of proper decoupling, like that shown in the EVM User's Guide, can result in voltage spikes which can damage the device, or cause poor audio performance and device shutdown faults.
