9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
TPA3223 is designed as a feature-enhanced cost efficient high power Class-D audio amplifier. The device has
built-in advanced protection circuitry to provide for maximum product robustness as well as a flexible feature set
including selectable gain settings, switching frequency, clock synchronization of multiple devices, mute function,
temperature and clipping status signals. TPA3223 has a bandwidth up to 100 kHz and low output noise designed
for high resolution audio applications and accepts both differential and single ended analog audio inputs at levels
from 1 VRMS to 2 VRMS. With the closed loop operation TPA3223 is designed for high audio performance with a
system power supply between 10 V and 42 V.
An external 5 V supply is used for the AVDD and VDD supply pins. Although supplied from the same 5 V source,
separating AVDD and VDD on the printed-circuit board (PCB) by RC filters (see Section 10.2 for details) is
recommended. These RC filters provide the recommended high-frequency isolation. Special attention needs to
be paid to placing all decoupling capacitors as close to their associated pins as possible. In general, the physical
loop with the power supply pins, decoupling capacitors and GND return path to the device pins must be kept
as short as possible and with as little area as possible to minimize induction (see Section 10.4.2 for additional
information).
The floating supplies for the output stage high side gate drives are supplied by built-in bootstrap circuitry
requiring only an external capacitor for each half-bridge.
For a properly functioning bootstrap circuit, a small ceramic capacitor must be connected from each bootstrap
pin (BST_X) to the power-stage output pin (OUT_X). When the power-stage output is low, the bootstrap
capacitor is charged through an internal diode connected between the gate-drive power-supply pin (GVDD)
and the bootstrap pins. When the power-stage output is high, the bootstrap capacitor potential is shifted above
the output potential and thus provides an acceptable voltage supply for the high-side gate driver. TI recommends
to use 33 nF ceramic capacitors, size 0603 or 0805, for the bootstrap supply. These 33 nF capacitors maintain
sufficient energy storage, even during minimal PWM duty cycles, to keep the high-side power stage FET
(LDMOS) fully turned on during the remaining part of the PWM cycle.
Special attention needs to be paid to the power stage power supply; this includes component selection, PCB
placement, and routing.
For good electrical performance, EMI compliance, and system reliability, it is important that each PVDD_X node
is decoupled with 1 μF ceramic capacitors placed as close as possible to the PVDD supply pins. TI recommends
to follow the PCB layout of the TPA3223 reference design. For additional information on recommended power
supply and required components, see Section 10.2.
The external power supply for the AVDD and VDD supplies must be from a low-noise, low-output-impedance
voltage regulator. Likewise, the 42V power stage supply is assumed to have low output impedance throughout
the entire audio band, and low noise. The power supply sequence is not critical as facilitated by the internal
power-on-reset circuit, but TI recommends to release RESET after the power supply is settled for minimum turn
on audible artifacts. Moreover, the TPA3223 is fully protected against erroneous power-stage turn on due to
parasitic gate charging. Thus, voltage-supply ramp rates (dV/dt) are noncritical within the specified range (see
the Section 7.3 table of this data sheet).

Figure 9-5. Clock Synchronization Setup
For easy multi-channel system design TPA3223 has a Clock Synchronization feature that allows automatic
synchronization of multiple peripheral devices operated at the PWM switching frequency of a Primary device.
Using clock synchronization benefits system noise performance by eliminating spurious crosstalk sum and
difference tones due to unsynchronized channel-to-channel switching frequencies. Furthermore, the Clock
Synchronization scheme is designed to interleave switching of the individual channels in a multi-channel system
such that the power supply current ripple frequency is moved to a higher frequency, which reduces the RMS
ripple current in the power supply bulk capacitors.
The Clock Synchronization scheme and the interleaving of the output stage switching are automatically
configured by connecting the OSCx pins between a Primary and multiple peripheral devices. There are two
different configurations of peripheral devices (secondary or tertiary) depending on how the OSCx pins are
connected. Connect the OSCM of the Primary device to the OSCM of a peripheral device and the OSCP of the
Primary device to the OSCP pin of a peripheral device to configure as a secondary. Connect the OSCM of the
Primary device to the OSCP of a peripheral device and the OSCP of the Primary device to the OSCM pin of a
peripheral device to configure as a tertiary. The Primary, secondary and tertiary PWM switching is 30 degrees
out of phase with each other. All switching channels are automatically synchronized by releasing RESET on all
devices at the same time.

Placement on the PCB and connection of multiple TPA3223 devices in a multi channel system is illustrated in
Figure 9-6. Peripheral devices must be placed on either side of the Primary device, with a secondary device
on one side of the Primary device, and a tertiary device on the other. In systems with more than 3 TPA3223
devices, the Primary must be in the middle, and every second peripheral device must be a secondary or tertiary
as illustrated in Figure 9-6. A 47 kΩ pull up resistor to AVDD must be connected to the Primary device OSCM
output and a 47 kΩ pull down resistor to GND must be connected to the Primary OSCP CLK outputs.

9.3.4 Oscillator
The oscillator frequency can be trimmed by external control of the FREQ_ADJ pin.
To reduce interference problems while using radio receiver tuned within the AM band, change the switching
frequency from nominal to higher values. Choose these values so that the nominal and the higher value
switching frequencies together results in the fewest cases of interference throughout the AM band. Select the
oscillator frequency by changing the FREQ_ADJ resistor value connected to GND in Primary mode, according to
the description in the Section 7.3.
For peripheral mode operation, turn off the oscillator by pulling the FREQ_ADJ pin to AVDD. Doing so configures
the OSC_I/O pins as inputs to be controlled from an external differential clock. In a multiple device system,
inter-channel delay is automatically set up between the switching of the audio channels, which can be illustrated
by no idle channels switching at the same time. Doing so will not influence the audio output, but only the
switch timing to minimize noise coupling between audio channels through the power supply to optimize audio
performance and to get better operating conditions for the power supply. The inter-channel delay will be set up
for a peripheral device depending on the polarity of the OSC_I/O connection such that a secondary is selected
by connecting the primary device OSC_I/O to the secondary device OSC_I/O with same polarity (+ to + and - to
-), and tertiary is selected with the inverse polarity (+ to - and - to +).
9.3.5 Input Impedance
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.
Table 9-2. Recommended Input AC-Coupling Capacitors
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.
9.3.6 Error Reporting
The FAULT, and OTW_CLIP, pins are active-low, open-drain outputs. The FAULT function is for protection-mode
signaling to a system-control device. Any fault resulting in device shutdown is signaled by the FAULT pin going
low. Also, OTW_CLIP goes low when the device junction temperature exceeds 125°C (see Table 9-3).
(1) Static value. OTW_CLIP is static low when OTW is asserted, and toggling when output signal is CLIP
Note
Asserting RESET low forces the FAULT signal high, independent of faults being present. TI
recommends monitoring the OTW_CLIP signal using the system microcontroller and responding to an
overtemperature warning signal by turning down the volume to prevent further heating of the device
resulting in device shutdown (OTE).
To reduce external component count, an internal pullup resistor to 3.3 V is provided on both FAULT and
OTW_CLIP outputs.
9.4 Device Functional Modes
TPA3223 can be configured in either a stereo BTL (Bridge Tied Load) mode, mono BTL mode (only one output
BTL channel active), or in a mono PBTL (Parallel Bridge Tied Load) mode. In PBTL mode the two output BTL
channels are paralleled with double output current available. The paralleling of the two BTL outputs must be

9.4.1 Powering Up
The TPA3223 does not require a power-up sequence because of the integrated undervoltage protection (UVP),
but TI recommends to hold RESET low until PVDD supply voltage is stable to avoid audio artifacts. The outputs
of the H-bridges remain in a high-impedance state until the gate-drive supply (GVDD) and AVDD voltages are
above their UVP voltage thresholds (see the Section 7.5 table of this data sheet). Doing so allows an internal
circuit to charge the external bootstrap capacitors by enabling a weak pull-down of the half-bridge output as well
as initiating a controlled ramp up sequence of the output voltage.

When RESET is released to turn on TPA3223, FAULT signal turns low. FAULT stays low until AVDD reaches the
undervoltage protection (UVP) voltage threshold (see the Section 7.5 table of this data sheet). After a pre-charge
time to stabilize the DC voltage across the input AC coupling capacitors, the ramp up sequence starts and
completes once the CMUTE node is charged to the final value.
9.4.1.1 Startup Ramp Time
During the startup ramp the CMUTE capacitor is charged by an internal current generator. With use of the
recommended 33 nF CMUTE capacitor value, the startup ramp time is approximately 20 ms. Higher CMUTE
capacitor value will increase the ramp time, and a lower value will decrease the ramp time. The recommended
CMUTE capacitor value is selected for minimum audible artifacts during startup and shutdown ramp.
9.4.2 Powering Down
The TPA3223 does not require a power-down sequence. The device remains fully operational as long as the
VDD, AVDD and PVDD voltages are above their undervoltage protection (UVP) voltage thresholds (see Section
7.5). Although not specifically required, TI recommends to hold RESET low during power down, thus preventing
audible artifacts including pops or clicks by initiating a controlled ramp down sequence of the output voltage. The
ramp down sequence will complete once the CMUTE node is discharged.
Bootstrap UVP does not shutdown according to the table, it shuts down the respective half-bridge (non-latching,
does not assert FAULT).
9.4.5.1 Overload and Short Circuit Current Protection
TPA3223 has fast reacting current sensors on all high-side and low-side FETs. To prevent output current from
increasing beyond the overcurrent threshold, TPA3223 uses current limiting of the output current for each
switching cycle (Cycle By Cycle Current Control, CB3C) in case of excess output current. CB3C prevents
premature shutdown due to high output current transients caused by high level music transients and a drop of
the real load impedance of the speaker, and allows the output current to be limited to a maximum programmed
level. If the maximum output current persists, for example the power stage being overloaded with too low load
impedance, then the device will shut down the affected output channel and the affected output is put in a
high-impedance (Hi-Z) state until a RESET cycle is initiated. CB3C works individually for each full-bridge output.
If an over current event is triggered, then the CB3C performs a state flip of the full-bridged output that is cleared
upon beginning of next PWM frame.

Note
Asserting RESET low forces the FAULT signal high, independent of faults being present.

10.2.3 Typical Application, Differential (2N), AD-Mode PBTL (Outputs Paralleled after LC filter)
TPA3223 can be configured in mono PBTL mode by paralleling the outputs before the LC filter (see ) or after the
LC filter. Paralleled outputs after the LC filter can be preferred if a single board design must support both PBTL
and BTL, or in the case multiple, smaller paralleled inductors are preferred due to size or cost. Paralleling after
the LC filter requires four inductors, one for each OUT_x. This section shows an example of paralleled outputs
after the LC filter.

10.4 Layout
10.4.1 Layout Guidelines
• Use an unbroken ground plane to have good low impedance and inductance return path to the power supply
for power and audio signals.
• Maintain a contiguous ground plane from the ground pins to the PCB area surrounding the device for as
many of the ground pins as possible, since the ground pins are the best conductors of heat in the package.
• PCB layout, audio performance and EMI are linked closely together.
• Routing the audio input should be kept short and together with the accompanied audio source ground.
• The small bypass capacitors on the PVDD lines should be placed as close to the PVDD pins as possible.
• A solid local ground area underneath the device is important to minimize ground bounce.
• Orient the passive component so that the narrow end of the passive component is facing the TPA3223
device, unless the area between two pads of a passive component is large enough to allow copper to flow in
between the two pads.
• Avoid placing other heat producing components or structures near the TPA3223 device.
• Avoid cutting off the flow of heat from the TPA3223 device to the surrounding ground areas with traces or via
strings, especially on output side of device.
