DESCRIPTION
The TPA0232 is a stereo audio power amplifier in a 24-pin TSSOP thermally enhanced package capable of
delivering 2.8 W of continuous RMS power per channel into 3-Ω loads.
This device minimizes the number of external components needed, which simplifies the design and frees up
board space for other features. When driving 1 W into 8-Ω speakers, the TPA0232 has less than 0.4% THD+N
across its specified frequency range. Included within this device is integrated depop circuitry that virtually
eliminates transients that cause noise in the speakers.
Amplifier gain is controlled by means of a dc voltage input on the VOLUME terminal. There are 31 discrete steps
covering the range of 20 dB (maximum volume setting) to -40 dB (minimum volume setting) in 2-dB steps. When
the VOLUME terminal exceeds 3.54 V, the device is muted. An internal input MUX allows two sets of stereo
inputs to the amplifier. The HP/LINE terminal allows the user to select which MUX input is active regardless of
whether the amplifier is in single-ended (SE) or bridge-tied load (BTL) mode. In notebook applications, where
internal speakers are driven as BTL and the line outputs (often headphone drive) are required to be SE, the
TPA0232 automatically switches into SE mode when the SE/BTL input is activated, and this effectively reduces
the gain by 6 dB.
The TPA0232 consumes only 10 mA of supply current during normal operation. A miserly shutdown mode
reduces the supply current to 150 µA.
The PowerPAD package (PWP) delivers a level of thermal performance that was previously achievable only in
TO-220-type packages. Thermal impedances of approximately 35°C/W are readily realized in multilayer PCB
applications. This allows the TPA0232 to operate at full power into 8-Ω loads at ambient temperatures of 85°C.
Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of Texas
Instruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.

These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device
placed in conductive foam during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.

Each step is tested at its midpoint and characterized within ±4dB of the specified gain value for VDD =
5 V. For VDD = 4.5 V to 5.5 V, multiply values by 90% and 110%, respectively.
95% of the characterized values lie within ±0.5dB of the specified gain value. Figure 29 shows the
typical behavior of most devices.

THERMAL INFORMATION
The thermally enhanced PWP package is based on the 24-pin TSSOP, but includes a thermal pad (see
Figure 30) to provide an effective thermal contact between the IC and the PWB.
Traditionally, surface mount and power have been mutually exclusive terms. A variety of scaled-down
TO-220-type packages have leads formed as gull wings to make them applicable for surface-mount applications.
These packages, however, have only two shortcomings: they do not address the very low profile requirements
