Analog Crossover Audio Plug-In Module
The TI Analog Crossover Audio Plug-in Module (SIDEGIG-XOVEREVM) turns TI Audio Class-D amplifier
EVM’s into a high quality, two-way speaker amplifier. The plug-in module makes it easy to remove the
large and expensive passive crossover found in passive loudspeakers and create a bi-amped, two-way
system with improved efficiency and reduced size. The board features a tunable active crossover with a
high-pass filter, low-pass filter, baffle step, and delay to create two audio output signals for a tweeter and
woofer. There are many advantages of designing active speakers including well-matched and well-tuned
audio. This audio plug-in module plugs into an analog input Class-D audio evaluation module (EVM) with
an audio interface board (AIB) connector. This document provides information including setup, operation,
schematics, bill of materials (BOM) and printed-circuit board (PCB) layout. For questions and support, visit

2 Analog Crossover Plug-In Module Setup

This section describes the setup and use of the Analog Crossover Audio Plug-in Module.
2.1 Preparation and First Steps for Setup

The Analog Crossover Audio Plug-in Module plugs into an analog input audio Class-D EVM using the AIB
connector.
To plug the board in, simply align the AIB connector on the Analog Crossover Plug-in Module and the
audio EVM and press into place. No additional setup is required. The plug-in module automatically powers
up when the Class-D EVM is powered.
1. Configure the Class-D amplifier EVM in BTL output mode to support the analog crossover module.
2. While the Class-D amplifier EVM is not powered, connect the analog crossover module to the AIB
connector (see Figure 5). Take care not to misalign the connector, otherwise damage to the plug-in
module or Class-D EVM can occur.
3. Connect the EVM A/AB BTL channel to a tweeter or mid-range speaker channel.
4. Connect the EVM C/CD BTL channel to a bass speaker channel.
5. Make sure that J10 (“VCC SEL”) is connected to the U10 pin and that J11 (“VEE SEL”) is connected to
the U11 pin. Power the Class-D EVM and the plug-in module is automatically powered. The plug-in
module provides its own +10-V and –10-V supply rails. However, if the designer wishes to increase the
supply rails with an external supply to increase the maximum output available from the plug-in module,
follow steps 5a through 5f; otherwise, proceed to step 6.
1. Connect the ground of the external supply to the banana jack labeled “GND” on the plug-in
module.
2. Connect the positive supply line of the external supply to the banana jack labeled “Vcc” on the
plug-in module. Note the absolute maximum voltage of 18 V on this pin. Do not exceed this level;
otherwise, damage may occur to the plug-in module.
3. Connect the negative supply line of the external supply to the banana jack labeled “Vee” on the
plug-in module. Note the absolute minimum voltage of –18 V on this pin. Do not exceed this level;
otherwise, damage may occur to the plug-in module.
4. Move the jumper on VCC SEL to the J7 pin.
5. Move the jumper on VEE SEL to the J8 pin.
6. Turn on the external power supply.
6. Plug in a standard RCA cable into the plug-in module.
7. Adjust the potentiometers for each channel to set the overall desired volume.

This subsection describes the controls and use of the Analog Crossover Audio Plug-in Module. Figure 6
shows the Analog Crossover Plug-in Module controls.

2.2.1 Low-Pass Filter

The optional fourth-order low-pass filter attenuates all signals with frequencies above a certain cutoff,
which is determined by the component values. The low-pass filter circuit also includes R42 for its own
separate volume control. Connect the jumper on J5 to "Bypass" instead of "Enable" to bypass the low-
pass filter together with the BSC circuit.
Figure 7 shows the schematic of the low-pass filter.

Figure 7. Low-Pass Filter Schematic
Tthe low-pass filter circuit comprises two second-order Sallen-Key low-pass filters (U7B and U8A), which
combine together to produce a fourth-order low-pass filter. R36 = R38, R37 = R39, C22 = C23, and C24 =
C25; therefore, the transfer function for the low-pass filter can be written as follows in Equation 1.

The following Equation 2 gives the cutoff frequency for the low-pass filter.

ƒc =
2p R36 R37 C22 C24 (2)
When using the component values as shown in the Figure 7 schematic, the low-pass filter has a cutoff
frequency of approximately 2.1 kHz. As is the case with the high-pass filter, change the corresponding
components on each filter if a change to the cutoff frequency is desired. So, if changing the value of R37,
then be sure to also change R39 to the same value.
Just like the previous high-pass filter, each of the second-order filters in the low-pass filter circuit has a Q
factor, which determines how much peaking occurs in the frequency response of the circuit around the
cutoff frequency. As before, the value of the Q factor must be kept below 1 and roughly above 0.5, but
should preferably be around 0.7. The current value of the Q factor for each second-order low-pass filter is
0.707. The following Equation 3 gives the Q factor.

2.2.2 Baffle-Step Compensation

The optional baffle-step compensation (BSC) circuit allows correction of the frequency response of the
woofer. Due to the physical construction of loud speakers, high frequencies are directed forward to the
listener, while low frequencies are not only directed forward, but also pass around the speaker to the rear.
This relationship causes higher frequencies to sound louder. Baffle-step compensation is required in loud
speakers to reduce the sound pressure of those higher frequencies compared with lower frequencies. The
BSC flattens the sound pressure level across frequencies for a better listening experience. The BSC is
optional and the designer can disable this by removing the jumper across J6 (labeled “Baffle Step”), in
which case the circuit becomes a unity-gain inverting amplifier.
Figure 9 shows the schematic for the BSC circuit.

2.2.3 High-Pass Filter

The fourth-order high-pass filter attenuates all signals with frequencies below a certain cutoff, which is
determined by the filter component values.
The high-pass filter schematic in Figure 12 comprises two second-order Sallen-Key high-pass filters (U1B
and U2A), which combine to create a fourth-order filter and provide a rapid attenuation at frequencies
below the cutoff. R1 = R2, R10 = R11, C3 = C5, and C4 = C6; therefore, the transfer function for the high-
pass filter can be written as follows in Equation 7.

Using the component values as shown in the previous Figure 12 schematic, the filter has a cutoff
frequency of approximately 1.8 kHz. The designer can modify the cutoff frequency if desired by changing
one of the components on the first filter and the corresponding component on the second filter. For
example, if changing the value of R10, then be sure to change R11 to the same value.

The Q factor for each second-order filter is another value that is important to the filter functionality and it
determines how much and how sharply the frequency response of the filter peaks around the cutoff
frequency. The Q factor must be less than 1 to reduce this peaking, but it must also be kept above 0.5.
Keeping the Q factor around 0.7 is preferable and the current Q factor for the high-pass filter is 0.742.

2.2.4 All-Pass Filter

Use the optional all-pass filter to add a specific time delay to the high-frequency signal path so that the
high-channel and low-channel sounds can be matched in time to compensate for any delay that results
from distance offsets between the tweeter and the woofer transducers. Figure 14 shows a physical
representation of this alignment difference.

Enable the all-pass filter by connecting the jumper on J1 (labeled “Delay”) to the “EN” pin. If the J1 Delay
jumper remains connected to the “Bypass” pin, the all-pass filter is skipped, no delay is added, and the
output from the high-pass filter functions as the only output for the high channel. Control the level of the
high-pass output through the potentiometer R24 at the output of the all-pass filter.

Figure 15. All-Pass Filter Schematic
The transfer function of the all-pass filter is a third-order function. The all-pass filter passes the signal with
a constant gain. However, for the gain on the all-pass filter to stay at unity, R52 must equal R18 and R20
must equal R26.
The purpose of the all-pass filter is to add in a time delay to the high-frequency signal; therefore, the
formula for the time delay added by the all-pass filter as a function of frequency is given in Equation 10.
To simplify the equation, first make a few assumptions about the circuit. Assume that R52 and R18 are
always the same value, C9 and C11 are always the same value, R26 and R20 are the same value as
well, and that R26 and R20 remain unchanged. Also, the first-order low-pass filter created by U6A has a
cutoff frequency of approximately 16 MHz; therefore, assume that it remains unmodified and that its
contribution to the time delay is negligible and can be ignored. After making these assumptions, simplify
the time delay function to the following Equation 10.

Find the approximate value for the low-frequency time delay by setting f = 0 in Equation 10. Using the
current component values as shown in Figure 15, the all-pass filter has a delay of approximately 155 μs.
