8 Parameter Measurement Information
All parameters are measured according to the conditions described in the Recommended Operating Conditions,
BTL Configuration, SE Configuration and PBTL Configuration sections.
Most audio analyzers will not give correct readings of Class-D amplifiers’ performance due to their sensitivity to
out of band noise present at the amplifier output. AES-17 + AUX-0025 pre-analyzer filters are recommended to
use for Class-D amplifier measurements. In absence of such filters, a 30-kHz low-pass filter (10 Ω + 47 nF) can
be used to reduce the out of band noise remaining on the amplifier outputs.
9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
To facilitate system design, the TPA3244 needs only a 12-V supply in addition to the (typical) 30-V power-stage
supply. An internal voltage regulator provides suitable voltage levels for the digital and low-voltage analog
circuitry, AVDD and DVDD. Additionally, all circuitry requiring a floating voltage supply, that is, the high-side gate
drive, is accommodated by built-in bootstrap circuitry requiring only an external capacitor for each half-bridge.
The audio signal path including gate drive and output stage is designed as identical, independent half-bridges.
For this reason, each half-bridge has separate bootstrap pins (BST_X). Power-stage supply pins (PVDD_X) and
gate drive supply pins (GVDD_X) are separate for each full bridge. Although supplied from the same 12-V
source, separating to GVDD_AB, GVDD_CD, and VDD on the printed-circuit board (PCB) by RC filters (see
application diagram for details) is recommended. These RC filters provide the recommended high-frequency
isolation. Special attention should 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
reference board documentation for additional information).
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_X) and the
bootstrap pins. When the power-stage output is high, the bootstrap capacitor potential is shifted above the output
potential and thus provides a suitable voltage supply for the high-side gate driver. It is recommended to use 33nF ceramic capacitors, size 0603 or 0805, for the bootstrap supply. These 33nF capacitors ensure 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 should be paid to the power-stage power supply; this includes component selection, PCB
placement, and routing. As indicated, each full-bridge has independent power-stage supply pins (PVDD_X). For
optimal electrical performance, EMI compliance, and system reliability, it is important that each PVDD_X node is
decoupled with 1-μF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the supply pins. It is recommended to
follow the PCB layout of the TPA3244 reference design. For additional information on recommended power
supply and required components, see the application diagrams in this data sheet.
The 12-V supply should be from a low-noise, low-output-impedance voltage regulator. Likewise, the 36-V powerstage supply is assumed to have low output impedance and low noise. The power-supply sequence is not critical
as facilitated by the internal power-on-reset circuit, but it is recommended to release RESET after the power
supply is settled for minimum turn on audible artefacts. Moreover, the TPA3244 device 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.

9.3 Feature Description
9.3.1 Error Reporting
The FAULT, and CLIP_OTW, pins are active-low, open-drain outputs. The 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, CLIP_OTW goes low when
the device junction temperature exceeds 125°C (see Table 2).

Note that asserting RESET low forces the FAULT signal high, independent of faults being present. TI
recommends monitoring the CLIP_OTW signal using the system microcontroller and responding to an
overtemperature warning signal by, that is, 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
CLIP_OTW outputs.
9.4 Device Functional Modes
9.4.1 Device Protection System
The TPA3244 device contains advanced protection circuitry carefully designed to facilitate system integration and
ease of use, as well as to safeguard the device from permanent failure due to a wide range of fault conditions
such as short circuits, overload, overtemperature, and undervoltage. The TPA3244 device responds to a fault by
immediately setting the power stage in a high-impedance (Hi-Z) state and asserting the FAULT pin low. In
situations other than overload and overtemperature error (OTE), the device automatically recovers when the fault
condition has been removed, that is, the supply voltage has increased.
The device will handle errors, as shown in Table 3.

Bootstrap UVP does not shutdown according to the table, it shuts down the respective halfbridge (non-latching,
does not assert FAULT).
9.4.1.1 Overload and Short Circuit Current Protection
The TPA3244 device has fast reacting current sensors with a programmable trip threshold (OC threshold) on all
high-side and low-side FETs. To prevent output current to increase beyond the programmed threshold, TPA3244
has the option of either limiting the output current for each switching cycle (Cycle By Cycle Current Control,
CB3C) or to perform an immediate shutdown of the output in case of excess output current (Latching Shutdown).
CB3C prevents premature shutdown due to high output current transients caused by high level music transients

and a drop of real speaker’s load impedance, and allows the output current to be limited to a maximum
programmed level. If the maximum output current persists, i.e. the power stage being overloaded with too low
load impedance, the device will shut down the affected output channel and the affected output is put in a highimpedance (Hi- Z) state until a RESET cycle is initiated. CB3C works individually for each half bridge output. If an
over current event is triggered, CB3C performs a state flip of the half bridge output that is cleared upon beginning
of next PWM frame.

During CB3C an over load counter increments for each over current event and decrease for each non-over
current PWM cycle. This allows full amplitude transients into a low speaker impedance without a shutdown
protection action. In the event of a short circuit condition, the over current protection limits the output current by
the CB3C operation and eventually shut down the affected output if the overload counter reaches its maximum
value. If a latched OC operation is required such that the device shuts down the affected output immediately
upon first detected over current event, this protection mode should be selected. The over current threshold and
mode (CB3C or Latched OC) is programmed by the OC_ADJ resistor value. The OC_ADJ resistor needs to be
within its intentional value range for either CB3C operation or Latched OC operation.

9.4.1.2 Signal Clipping and Pulse Injector
A built in activity detector monitors the PWM activity of the OUT_X pins. TPA3244 is designed to drive
unclipped output signals all the way to PVDD and GND rails. In case of audio signal clipping when applying
excessive input signal voltage, or in case of CB3C current protection being active, the amplifier feedback
loop of the audio channel will respond to this condition with a saturated state, and the output PWM signals
will stop unless special circuitry is implemented to handle this situation. To prevent the output PWM signals
from stopping in a clipping or CB3C situation, narrow pulses are injejcted to the gate drive to maintain output
activity. The injected narrow pulses are injected at every 4th PWM frame, and thus the effective switching
frequency during this state is reduced to 1/4 of the normal switching frequency.
Signal clipping is signalled on the CLIP_OTW pin and is self clearing when signal level reduces and the
device reverts to normal operation. The CLIP_OTW pulses starts at the onset to output clipping, typically at a
THD level around 0.01%, resulting in narrow CLIP_OTW pulses starting with a pulse width of ~500ns.
Figure 22. Signal Clipping PWM and Speaker Output Signals
9.4.1.3 DC Speaker Protection
The output DC protection scheme protects a speaker from excess DC current in case one terminal of the
speaker is connected to the amplifier while the other is accidentally shorted to the chassis ground. Such a short
circuit results in a DC voltage of PVDD/2 across the speaker, which potentially can result in destructive current
levels. The output DC protection detects any unbalance of the output and input current of a BTL output, and in
the event of the unbalance exceeding a programmed threshold, the overload counter increments until its
maximum value and the affected output channel is shut down. DC Speaker Protection is disabled in PBTL and
SE mode operation.

9.4.1.4 Pin-to-Pin Short Circuit Protection (PPSC)
The PPSC detection system protects the device from permanent damage in the case that a power output pin
(OUT_X) is shorted to GND_X or PVDD_X. For comparison, the OC protection system detects an overcurrent
after the demodulation filter where PPSC detects shorts directly at the pin before the filter. PPSC detection is
performed at startup that is, when VDD is supplied, consequently a short to either GND_X or PVDD_X after
system startup does not activate the PPSC detection system. When PPSC detection is activated by a short on
the output, all half bridges are kept in a Hi-Z state until the short is removed; the device then continues the
startup sequence and starts switching. The detection is controlled globally by a two step sequence. The first step
ensures that there are no shorts from OUT_X to GND_X, the second step tests that there are no shorts from
OUT_X to PVDD_X. The total duration of this process is roughly proportional to the capacitance of the output LC
filter. The typical duration is < 15 ms/μF. While the PPSC detection is in progress, FAULT is kept low, and the
device will not react to changes applied to the RESET pin. If no shorts are present the PPSC detection passes,
and FAULT is released. A device reset will not start a new PPSC detection. PPSC detection is enabled in BTL
and PBTL output configurations, the detection is not performed in SE mode. To make sure not to trip the PPSC
detection system it is recommended not to insert a resistive load to GND_X or PVDD_X.
9.4.1.5 Overtemperature Protection OTW and OTE
The TPA3244 device has a two-level temperature-protection system that asserts an active-low warning signal
(CLIP_OTW) when the device junction temperature exceeds 125°C (typical) and, if the device junction
temperature exceeds 155°C (typical), the device is put into thermal shutdown, resulting in all half-bridge outputs
being set in the high-impedance (Hi-Z) state and FAULT being asserted low. OTE is latched in this case. To
clear the OTE latch, RESET must be asserted. Thereafter, the device resumes normal operation.
9.4.1.6 Undervoltage Protection (UVP) and Power-on Reset (POR)
The UVP and POR circuits of the TPA3244 device fully protect the device in any power-up/down and brownout
situation. While powering up, the POR circuit resets the overload circuit (OLP) and ensures that all circuits are
fully operational when the GVDD_X and VDD supply voltages reach values stated in the Electrical
CharacteristicsElectrical Characteristics table. Although GVDD_X and VDD are independently monitored, a
supply voltage drop below the UVP threshold on any VDD or GVDD_X pin results in all half-bridge outputs
immediately being set in the high-impedance (Hi-Z) state and FAULT being asserted low. The device
automatically resumes operation when all supply voltages have increased above the UVP threshold.
9.4.1.7 Fault Handling
If a fault situation occurs while in operation, the device acts accordingly to the fault being a global or a channel
fault. A global fault is a chip-wide fault situation and causes all PWM activity of the device to be shut down, and
will assert FAULT low. A global fault is a latching fault and clearing FAULT and restart operation requires
resetting the device by toggling RESET. Toggling RESET should never be allowed with excessive system
temperature, so it is advised to monitor RESET by a system microcontroller and only allow releasing RESET
(RESET high) if the OTW signal is cleared (high). A channel fault results in shutdown of the PWM activity of the
affected channel(s). Note that asserting RESET low forces the FAULT signal high, independent of faults being
present. TI recommends monitoring the OTW signal using the system micro controller and responding to an over
temperature warning signal by, that is, turning down the volume to prevent further heating of the device resulting
in device shutdown (OTE).
