PRODUCTION DATA
Phase 1 | Battery discharging normally; supply voltage is above inflection point; audio output remains below limiter level. |
The limiter level remains constant because the supply voltage is greater than the inflection point. Amplifier gain is constant at fixed-gain as set by the GAIN pin. The audio output remains at a constant loudness. The boost converter allows the audio output to swing above the battery supply voltage. Battery supply current increases as supply voltage decreases. | |
Phase 2 | Battery continues to discharge normally; supply voltage decreases below inflection point; limiter level decreases below audio output. |
The limiter level decreases as the battery supply voltage continues to decrease. SpeakerGuard™ lowers amplifier gain, reducing the audio output below the new limiter level. The supply current decreases due to reduced output power. | |
Phase 3 | Battery supply voltage is constant; audio output remains below limiter level. |
The audio output, limiter level, and supply current remain constant as well. | |
Phase 4 | Phone plugged in and battery re-charges; supply voltage increases. |
The limiter level increases as the supply voltage increases. SpeakerGuard™ increases amplifier gain slowly, increasing audio output. Because the TPA2015D1 supply current is proportional to the PVOUT-to-VBAT ratio, the supply current decreases as battery supply voltage increases. | |
Phase 5 | Battery supply voltage is constant; audio output is below limiter level. |
SpeakerGuard™ continues to increase amplifier gain to the fixed-gain as set by the GAIN pin. The audio output signal increases (slowly due to release time) to original value. | |
Phase 6 | Battery supply voltage is constant; audio output remains below limiter level. |
Amplifier gain equal to fixed-gain as set by the GAIN pin. Audio output signal does not change. Supply current remains constant. |
