description
The TPA1517 is a stereo audio power amplifier that contains two identical amplifiers capable of delivering 6 W
per channel of continuous average power into a 4-Ω load at 10% THD+N or 5 W per channel at 1% THD+N.
The gain of each channel is fixed at 20 dB. The amplifier features a mute/standby function for power-sensitive
applications. The amplifier is available in Texas Instruments patented PowerPAD 20-pin surface-mount
thermally-enhanced package (DWP) that reduces board space and facilitates automated assembly while
maintaining exceptional thermal characteristics. It is also available in the 20-pin thermally enhanced DIP
package (NE).

B. When S2 is open, activating S1 places the TPA1517 in mute mode. When S2 is closed, activating S1 places the TPA1517 in standby
mode.
C. The terminal numbers are for the 20-pin NE package.
Figure 23. TPA1517 Minimum Configuration
ǒ Ǔ
The following equation is used to relate gain in V/V to dB:
G dB + 20 LOG GVńV

TPA1517
The audio outputs are biased to a midrail voltage which is shown by the following equation:
V MID + VCC
2
The audio inputs are always biased to 2.1 V when in mute or normal mode. Any dc offset between the input signal
source and the input terminal is amplified and can seriously degrade the performance of the amplifier. For this
reason, it is recommended that the inputs always be connected through a series capacitor (ac coupled). The
power outputs, also having a dc bias, must be connected to the speakers via series capacitors.
mute/standby operation
The TPA1517 has three modes of operation; normal, mute, and standby. They are controlled by the voltage on
the M/SB terminal as described in Figure 24. In normal mode, the TPA1517 amplifies the signal applied to the
two input terminals providing low impedance drive to speakers connected to the output terminals. In mute mode,
the amplifier retains all bias voltages and quiescent supply current levels but does not pass the input signal to
the output. In standby mode, the internal bias generators and power-drive stages are turned off, thereby
reducing the supply current levels.

whenever an external circuit is used to control the input voltage at the M/SB terminal. The undefined area can
cause unpredictable performance and should be avoided. As the control voltage moves through the undefined
areas pop or click sounds may be heard in the speaker. Moving from mute to normal causes a very small click
sound. Whereas moving from standby to mute can cause a much larger pop sound. Figure 25 shows external
circuitry designed to help reduce transition pops when moving from standby mode to normal mode.

TPA1517
Figure 25 is a reference schematic that provides TTL-level control of the M/SB terminal. A diode network is also
included which helps reduce turn-on pop noises. The diodes serve to drain the charge out of the output coupling
capacitors while the amplifier is in shutdown mode. When the M/SB voltage is in the normal operating range,
the diodes have no effect on the ac performance of the system.

component selection
Some of the general concerns for selection of capacitors are:
D Leakage currents on aluminum electrolytic capacitors
D ESR (equivalent series resistance)
D Temperature ratings
leakage currents
Leakage currents on most ceramic, polystyrene, and paper capacitors are negligible for this application.
Leakage currents for aluminum electrolytic and tantalum tend to be higher. This is especially important on the
input terminals and the SVRR capacitor. These nodes encounter from 3 V to 7 V, and need to have leakage
currents less than 1 µA to keep from affecting the output power and noise performance.
equivalent series resistance
ESR is mainly important on the output coupling capacitor, where even 1 Ω of ESR in CO with an 8-Ω speaker
can reduce the output drive power by 12.5%. ESR should be considered across the frequency range of interest,
(i.e., 20 Hz to 20 kHz). The following equation calculates the amount of power lost in the coupling capacitor:
% Power in C O + ESR
R L
In general, the power supply decoupling requires a very low ESR as well to take advantage of the full output
drive current.
temperature range
The temperature range of the capacitors may or may not seem like an obvious thing to specify, but it is very
important. Many of the high-density capacitors perform very differently at different temperatures. When
consistent high performance is required from the system over temperature in terms of low THD, maximum
output power, and turn-on/off popping, then interactions of the coupling capacitors and the SVRR capacitors
need to be considered, as well as the change in ESR on the output capacitor with temperature.
turn-on pop consideration
To select the proper input coupling capacitor, the designer should select a capacitor large enough to allow the
lowest desired frequency pass and small enough that the time constant is shorter than the output RC time
constant to minimize turn-on popping. The input time constant for the TPA1517 is determined by the input
60-kΩ resistance of the amplifier, and the input coupling capacitor according to the following generic equation:
TC + 2 p1RC
For example, 8-Ω speakers and 220-µF output coupling capacitors would yield a 90-Hz cut-off point for the
output RC network. The input network should be the same speed or faster ( > 90 Hz TC). A good choice would
be 180 Hz. As the input resistance is 60 kΩ, a 14-nF input coupling capacitor would do.
The bypass-capacitor time constant should be much larger (×5) than either the input coupling capacitor time
constant or the output coupling capacitor time constants. In the previous example with the 220-µF output
coupling capacitor, the designer should want the bypass capacitor, TC, to be in the order of 18 Hz or lower. To
get an 18-Hz time constant, CB is required to be 1 µF or larger because the resistance this capacitor sees is
7.5 kΩ.

TPA1517
In summary, follow one of the three simple relations presented below, depending on the tradeoffs between low
frequency response and turn-on pop. If depop performance is the top priority, then follow:
7 500 C B u 5 RLCO u 300 000 CI
If low frequency ac response is more important but depop is still a consideration then follow:
1
2 p 60 000 C I
t 10 Hz
Finally, if low frequency response is most important and depop is not a consideration then follow:
1 ≤ 1 ≤ f low
2 p 60 000 C I 2 p RL CI
thermal applications
Linear power amplifiers dissipate a significant amount of heat in the package under normal operating conditions.
A typical music CD requires 12 dB to 15 dB of dynamic headroom to pass the loudest portions without distortion
as compared with the average power output. Figure 19 shows that when the TPA1517 is operating from a 12-V
ǒǓ
supply into a 4-Ω speaker that approximately 3.5 W peaks are possible. Converting watts to dB using the
following equation:
P dB + 10 Log P
W
ǒǓ
P
ref
+ 10 Log 3.51
+ 5.44 dB
Subtracting dB for the headroom restriction to obtain the average listening level without distortion yields the
following:
5.44 dB * 15 dB + * 9.56 dB (15 dB headroom)
5.44 dB * 12 dB + * 6.56 dB (12 dB headroom)
Converting dB back into watts:
PW + 10PdBń10 Pref
+ 111 mW (15 dB headroom)
+ 221 mW (12 dB headroom)
This is valuable information to consider when attempting to estimate the heat dissipation requirements for the
amplifier system. Comparing the absolute worst cast, which is 3.5 W of continuous power output with 0 dB of
headroom, against 12-dB and 15-dB applications drastically affects maximum ambient temperature ratings for
the system. Using the power dissipation curves for a 12-V, 4-Ω system, internal dissipation in the TPA1517 and
maximum ambient temperatures are shown in Table 1.

TPA1517
Table 1. TPA1517 Power Rating

PEAK OUTPUT POWER POWER DISSIPATION MAXIMUM AMBIENT
AVERAGE OUTPUT POWER
(W) (W/Channel) TEMPERATURE
3.5 3.5 W 2.1 – 34°C
3.5 1.77 W (3 dB) 2.4 – 61°C
3.5 884 mW (6 dB) 2.25 – 48°C
3.5 442 mW (9 dB) 1.75 – 4°C
3.5 221 mW (12 dB) 1.5 18°C
3.5 111 mW (15 dB) 1.25 40°C
The maximum ambient temperature depends on the heatsinking ability of the PCB system. Using the derating
factor for the NE package with 4 square inches of copper area is 22.8 mW/°C and 38.8 mW/°C respectively.
Converting this to θJA:

+ 43.9°CńW
To calculate maximum ambient temperatures, first consider that the numbers from the dissipation graphs are
per channel so the dissipated heat needs to be doubled for two channel operation. Given θJA, the maximum
allowable junction temperature and the total internal dissipation, the maximum ambient temperature can be
calculated with the following equation. The maximum recommended junction temperature for the TPA1517 is
150°C.
T A Max + TJ Max * qJA PD
+ 150 * 43.9 (1.25 2) + 40°C (15 dB headroom, 0 CFM)
Table 1 clearly shows that for most applications some airflow is required to keep junction temperatures in the
specified range. The TPA1517 is designed with thermal protection that turns the device off when the junction
temperature surpasses 150°C to prevent damage to the IC. Using the DWP package on a multilayer PCB with
internal ground planes can achieve better thermal performance. Table 1 was calculated for a maximum volume
system; when the output level is reduced, the numbers in the table change significantly. Also using 8-Ω speakers
dramatically increases the thermal performance by increasing amplifier efficiency.
