PAM8602E
FILTERLESS 2W CLASS-D STEREO AUDIO AMPLIFIER
WITH DC VOLUME CONTROL AND HEADPHONE OUTPUT
Description
Pin Assignments
The PAM8602E is a 2.0W, Class-D audio amplifier with headphone
amplifier. Advanced 64-Step DC volume control minimizes external
components and allows speaker volume control and headphone
volume control. It offers low THD+N, to produce high-quality sound
reproduction. The new filterless architecture allows the device to
drive the speaker directly, without low-pass output filters which will
save 30% system cost and 75% PCB area.
With the same numbers of external components, the efficiency of the
PAM8602E is much better than Class-AB cousins. It can extend the
battery life thus be ideal for portable applications.
The PAM8602E is available in a SSOP-24 and SOP-24 package.

PAM8602E
Application Information
Test Setup for Performance Testing (Class D)
1. When the PAM8602E works with LC filters, it should be connected with the speaker before it's powered on, otherwise it will be damaged
easily.
2. When the PAM8602E works without LC filters, it's better to add a ferrite chip bead at the outgoing line of speaker for suppressing the
possible electromagnetic interference.
3. The absolute maximum rating of the PAM8602E operation voltage is 6V. When the PAM8602E is powered with four battery cells, it should
be noted that the voltage of four new dry or alkaline batteries is over 6V, higher than its maximum operation voltage, which probably make
the device damaged. Therefore, it's recommended to use either four Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) rechargeable batteries or three dry or
alkaline batteries.
4. The input signal should not be too high, if too high, it will cause the clipping of output signal when increasing the volume. Because the DC
volume control of the PAM8602E has big gain, it will make the device damaged.
5. When testing the PAM8602E without LC filters by using resistor instead of speaker as the output load, the test results, e.g. THD or efficiency,
will be worse than those using speaker as load.
Notes:
1. The Audio Precision (AP) AUX-0025 low pass filter is necessary for class-D amplifier measurement with AP analyzer.
2. Two 22μH inductors are used in series with load resistor to emulate the small speaker for efficiency measurement.
Mute Operation
The MUTE pin is an input for controlling the output state of the PAM8602E. A logic low on this pin disables the outputs, and a logic high enables
the outputs. This pin may be used as a quick disable or enable of the outputs without a volume fade. Quiescent current is listed in the electrical
characteristic table. The MUTE pin can be left floating due to the internal pull-up.
Shutdown Operation
In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, the PAM8602E contains shutdown circuitry to turn off the amplifier's bias circuitry. The
amplifier is turned off when logic low is placed on the SHDN pin. By switching the SHDN pin connected to GND, the PAM8602E supply current
draw will be minimized in idle mode. The SHDN pin can be left floating due to the pull-up.
For the best power on/off pop performance, the amplifier should be placed in the Mute mode prior to turning on/off the power supply.
Power Supply Decoupling
The PAM8602E is a high performance CMOS audio amplifier that requires adequate power supply decoupling to ensure the output THD and
PSRR are as low as possible. Power supply decoupling affects low frequency on the power supply leads for higher frey response. Optimum
decoupling is achieved by using two capacitors of different types that target different types of noise frequency transients, spike, or digital hash
on the line, a good low equivalent-series-resisitance (ESR) ceramic capacitor, typically 1.0µF, placed as close as possible to the device VDD
terminal works best. For filtering lower-frequency noise signals, a large capacitor of 10µF (ceramic) or greater placed near the audio power
amplifier is recommended.

Application Information
Input Capacitor (CI)
Large input capacitors are both expensive and space hungry for portable designs. Clearly, a certain sized capacitor is needed to capacitor is
needed to couple in low frequencies without severe attenuation. But in many cases the speakers used in portable systems, whether internal or
external, have little ability to reproduce signals below 100Hz to 150Hz. Thus, using a large input capacitor may not increase actual system
performance. In this case, input capacitor (CI) and input resisitance (RI) of the amplifier form a high-pass filter with the corner frequency
determined equation below,
fC =
1
2ΠR I CI
In addition to system cost and size, click and pop perfomance is affected by the size of the input coupling capacitor, CI. A larger input coupling
capacitor requires more charge to reach its quiescent DC voltage (nominally ½ VDD). This charge comes from the internal circuit via the
feedback and is apt to creat pops upon device enable. Thus, by minimizing the capacitor size based on necessary low frequency response,
turn-on pops can be minimized.
Analog Refernce Bypass Capacitor (CBYP)
Analog Refernce Bypass Capacitor (CBYP) is the most critical capacitor and serves several important functions. During start-up or recovery from
shutdown mode, CBYP determines the rate at which the amplifier starts up. The second function is to reduce noise produced by the power
supply caused by coupling into the output drive signal. This noise is from the internal analog reference to the amplifier, which appears as
degraded PSRR and THD+N.
A ceramic bypass capacitior (CBYP) of 0.47µF to 1.0µF is recommended for the best THD and noise performance. Increasing the bypass
capacitor reduces clicking and popping noise from power on/off and entering and leaving shutdown.
Under Voltage Lock-Out (UVLO)
The PAM8602E incorporates circuitry designed to detect when the supply voltage is low. When the supply voltage drops to 1.8V or below, the
PAM8602E outputs are disable, are the device comes out of this state and states to normal functional once VDD ≥ 2.0V.
Short Circuit Protection (SCP)
The PAM8602E has short circuit protection circuitry on the outputs that prevents the device from damage when output-to-output and output-toGND short. When a short circuit is detected on the outputs, the outputs are disabled immediately. If the short was removed, the device activates
again.
Over Temperature Protection
Thermal protection on the PAM8602E prevents the device from damage when the internal die temperature exceeds +135°C. There is a
15 degree tolerance on this point from device to device. Once the die temperature exceeds the thermal set point, the device outputs are
disabled. This is not a latched fault. The thermal fault is cleared once the temperature of the die is reduced by 30°C. This large hysteresis will
prevent motor boating sound well. The device begins normal operation at this point without external system interaction.
How to Reduce EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference)
A simple solution is to put an additional capacitor 1000µF at power supply terminal for power line coupling if the traces from amplifier to
speakers are short (< 20CM).
Most applications require a ferrite bead filter as shown at Figure 1. The ferrite filter reduces EMI around 1MHz and higher. When selecting a
ferrite bead, choose one with high impedance at high frequencies, and low impedance at low frequencies (MH2012HM221-T).

PCB Layout Guidelines Grounding
At this stage it is paramount to notice the necessity of separate grounds. Noise currents in the output power stage need to be returned to output
noise ground and nowhere else. Were these currents to circulate elsewhere, they may get into the power supply, the signal ground, etc, worse
yet, they may form a loop and radiate noise. Any of these cases results in degraded amplifier performance. The logical returns for the output
noise currents associated with Class-D switching are the respective PGND pins for each channel. The switch state diagram illustrates that
PGND is instrumental in nearly every switch state. This is the perfect point to which the output noise ground trace should return. Also note that
output noise ground is channel specific. A two channel amplifier has two seperate channels and consequently must have two seperate output
noise ground traces. The layout of the PAM8602E offers separate PGND connections for each channel and in some cases each side of the
bridge. Output noise grounds must be tied to system ground at the power in exclusively. Signal currents for the inputs, reference, etc need to be
returned to quite ground. This ground is only tied to the signal components and the GND pin, and GND then tied to system ground.
