EVAL BOARD USER’S MANUAL
Overview
The NCP2823A/B are cost effective mono audio power
amplifiers designed for portable electronic devices.
NCP2823A is optimized for 8 W operation and NCP2823B
can operate with speaker impedance down to 4.0 W. For
Instance, NCP2823B is capable of delivering 3 W of
continuous average power to a 4.0 W from a 5.0 V supply in
a Bridge Tied Load (BTL) configuration. Under the same
conditions, NCP2823A can provide 1.5 W to an 8.0 W BTL
load with less than 1% THD+N. For cellular handsets or
PDAs it offers space and cost savings because no output
filter is required when using inductive transducers. With
more than 95% efficiency and very low shutdown current,
it increases the lifetime of your battery and drastically
lowers the junction temperature.
The intent of the evaluation boards is to illustrate typical
operation of the NCP2823 device for laboratory
characterization. The NCP2823 Series Evaluation Board
schematic is depicted in Figure 3.

OPERATION
Performances of EVB Solution
The operating power supply of the NCP2823 is from 2.5
to 5.5 V. The absolute maximum input voltage is 7.0 V. A
power supply set to 3.6 V and current limit set to at least
1.5 A must be connected to J11 connector to powering the
NCP2823 Series Evaluation Board. Also to compensate for
parasitic inductance of wires between the power supply and
the evaluation board it is highly recommended to connect a
470 mF electrolytic capacitor to bypass J11 terminal. Like
this the device can be evaluate under powering condition
very similar that battery power supplies.
To be as close as possible with final handset application,
the design of this power conversion solution used small size
footprints where possible. Changing components may
positively or negatively impact the evaluation board
performance, illustrated in Figure 4 to 9. For more
information please refer to the NCP2823 datasheet.

PCB LAYOUT
As with all Class D amplifier, care must has been observed
to place the components on the PCB and layout the critical
nodes. The evaluation board is made of 4 PCB layers where
first internal layer is a GND. Figure 10, Figure 12 and
Figure 13 show the layout of the NCP2823 Series evaluation
board. For more specific layout guidelines please refer to the

ASSEMBLY TEST PROCEDURE
Wake up test
A power supply set to 3.6 V and current limit set to at least
1.5 A must be connected to J15 connector to powering the
NCP2823 Series evaluation board. Also to compensate for
parasitic inductance of wires between the power supply and
the evaluation board it is highly recommended to connect a
470 mF electrolytic capacitor to bypass J11 terminal. Like
this the device can be evaluate under powering condition
very similar that battery power supplies.
These tests are provided in order to guarantee a good
assembly of the NCP2823 on its dedicated board, it do not
consist in parametric test which is already done at chip level.
