3 Description
The TPA6204A1 device (sometimes referred to as
TPA6204) is a 1.7-W mono fully-differential amplifier
designed to drive a speaker with at least 8-Ω
impedance while consuming only 20 mm2 total
printed-circuit board (PCB) area in most applications.
The device operates from 2.5 V to 5.5 V, drawing
only 4 mA of quiescent supply current. The
TPA6204A1 (TPA6204) is available in the spacesaving 3 mm × 3 mm SON (DRB) package.
The TPA6204A1 (TPA6204) is ideal for PDA or
smartphone applications due to features such as −80dB supply voltage rejection from 20 Hz to 2 kHz,
improved RF rectification immunity, small PCB area,
and a fast start-up with minimal pop.

9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
The TPA6204A1 is a fully differential amplifier with differential inputs and outputs. The fully differential amplifier
consists of a differential amplifier and a common-mode amplifier. The differential amplifier ensures that the
amplifier outputs a differential voltage that is equal to the differential input times the gain. The common-mode
feedback ensures that the common-mode voltage at the output is biased around VDD/2 regardless of the
common-mode voltage at the input.

9.3 Feature Description
9.3.1 Advantages of Fully Differential Amplifiers
• Input coupling capacitors not required: A fully differential amplifier with good CMRR, like the TPA6204A1,
allows the inputs to be biased at voltage other than mid-supply. For example, if a DAC has mid-supply lower
than the mid-supply of the TPA6204A1, the common-mode feedback circuit adjusts for that, and the
TPA6204A1 outputs are still biased at mid-supply of the TPA6204A1. The inputs of the TPA6204A1 can be
biased from 0.5 V to VDD − 0.8 V. If the inputs are biased outside of that range, input coupling capacitors are
required.
• Mid-supply bypass capacitor, C(BYPASS), not required: The fully differential amplifier does not require a
bypass capacitor. This is because any shift in the mid-supply affects both positive and negative channels
equally and cancels at the differential output. It is important to remember that removing the bypass capacitor
slightly worsens the kSVR. A slight decrease of kSVR, however, may be acceptable when an additional
component can be eliminated.
• Better RF-immunity: GSM handsets save power by turning on and shutting off the RF transmitter at a rate of
217 Hz. The transmitted signal is picked up on input and output traces. The fully differential amplifier cancels
the signal much better than the typical audio amplifier.
9.3.2 Fully Differential Amplifier Efficiency and Thermal Information
Class-AB amplifiers are inefficient. The primary cause of these inefficiencies is voltage drop across the output
stage transistors. There are two components of the internal voltage drop. One is the headroom or DC voltage
drop that varies inversely to output power. The second component is due to the sinewave nature of the output.
The total voltage drop can be calculated by subtracting the RMS value of the output voltage from VDD. The
internal voltage drop multiplied by the average value of the supply current, IDD(avg), determines the internal
power dissipation of the amplifier.

Feature Description (continued)
An easy-to-use equation to calculate efficiency starts out as being equal to the ratio of power from the power
supply to the power delivered to the load. To accurately calculate the RMS and average values of power in the
load and in the amplifier, the current and voltage waveform shapes must first be understood (see Figure 15).

Figure 15. Voltage and Current Waveforms for BTL Amplifiers
Although the voltages and currents for SE and BTL are sinusoidal in the load, currents from the supply are
different between SE and BTL configurations. In an SE application the current waveform is a half-wave rectified
shape, whereas in BTL it is a full-wave rectified waveform. This means RMS conversion factors are different.
Keep in mind that for most of the waveform both the push and pull transistors are not on at the same time, which
supports the fact that each amplifier in the BTL device only draws current from the supply for half the waveform.

Table 2 and Table 3 employ Equation 5 to calculate efficiencies for four different output power levels. Note that
the efficiency of the amplifier is quite low for lower power levels and rises sharply as power to the load is
increased resulting in a nearly flat internal power dissipation over the normal operating range. Note that the
internal dissipation at full output power is less than in the half power range. Calculating the efficiency for a
specific system is the key to proper power supply design. For a 1-W audio system with 8-Ω loads and a 5-V
supply, the maximum draw on the power supply is almost 1.6 W.
A final point to remember about Class-AB amplifiers is how to manipulate the terms in the efficiency equation to
the utmost advantage when possible.
A simple formula for calculating the maximum power dissipated, PDmax, may be used for a differential output
application:
PD max =
2
2VDD
p2RL
(5)
The PDmax for a 5-V, 8-Ω system is 0.64 W.
The maximum ambient temperature depends on the heat sinking ability of the PCB system. The derating factor
for the 3 mm × 3 mm DRB package is shown in the dissipation rating table. Converting this to RθJA:
1

RqJA =
=
= 45.9 oC/W
Derating Factor
0.0218
(6)
Given RθJA, the maximum allowable junction temperature, and the maximum internal dissipation, the maximum
ambient temperature can be calculated with the following equation. The maximum recommended junction
temperature for the TPA6204A1 is 150°C.
TA Max = TJ Max - RqJA PDmax
(7)
= 150 – 45.9(0.64) = 120.6°C
Equation 7 shows that the maximum ambient temperature is 120.6°C (package limited to 85°C) at maximum
power dissipation with a 5-V supply.
Table 2 shows that for most applications no airflow is required to keep junction temperatures in the specified
range. The TPA6204A1 is designed with thermal protection that turns the device off when the junction
temperature surpasses 150°C to prevent damage to the IC. In addition, using speakers with an impedance
higher than 8-Ω dramatically increases the thermal performance by reducing the output current.

10 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
10.1 Application Information
The TPA6204A1 device starts its operation by asserting the SHUTDOWN pin to logic 1. The device enters in
shutdown mode when pulling the SHUTDOWN pin low. This typical connection diagram highlights the required
external components and system level connections for proper operation of the device in popular use case. Any
design variation can be supported by TI through schematic and layout reviews. Visit e2e.ti.com for design
assistance and join the audio amplifier discussion forum for additional information.

The internal feedback resistors (RF) are trimmed to 40 kΩ. Resistor matching is very important in fully differential
amplifiers. The balance of the output on the reference voltage depends on matched ratios of the resistors.
CMRR, PSRR, and the cancellation of the second harmonic distortion diminishes if resistor mismatch occurs.
Therefore, TI recommends using 1% tolerance resistors or better to keep the performance optimized.
10.2.2.2 Using Low-ESR Capacitors
Low-ESR capacitors are recommended throughout this applications section. A real (as opposed to ideal)
capacitor can be modeled simply as a resistor in series with an ideal capacitor. The voltage drop across this
resistor minimizes the beneficial effects of the capacitor in the circuit. The lower the equivalent value of this
resistance the more the real capacitor behaves like an ideal capacitor.
10.2.2.2.1 Bypass Capacitor (C(BYPASS)) and Start-Up Time
The internal voltage divider at the BYPASS pin of this device sets a mid-supply voltage for internal references
and sets the output common-mode voltage to VDD/2. Adding a capacitor to this pin filters any noise into this pin
and increases kSVR. C(BYPASS) also determines the rise time of VO+ and VO− when the device is taken out of
shutdown. The larger the capacitor, the slower the rise time. Figure 10 shows the relationship of C(BYPASS) to
start-up time.
10.2.2.2.2 Input Capacitor (CI)
The TPA6204A1 does not require input coupling capacitors if using a differential input source that is biased from
0.5 V to VDD − 0.8 V. Use 1% tolerance or better gain-setting resistors if not using input coupling capacitors. In
the single-ended input application an input capacitor, CI, is required to allow the amplifier to bias the input signal
to the proper DC level. In this case, CI and RI form a high-pass filter with the corner frequency determined in
Equation 9.

fc =
2pRI CI
(9)
−3 dB
fc
Figure 17. CI and RI High-Pass Filter Cutoff Frequency
The value of CI is important to consider as it directly affects the bass (low frequency) performance of the circuit.
Consider the example where RI is 10 kΩ and the specification calls for a flat bass response down to 100 Hz.
Equation 9 is reconfigured as Equation 10.

CI =
2pRI fc
(10)
In this example, CI is 0.16 μF, so one would likely choose a value in the range of 0.22 μF to 0.47 μF. Ceramic
capacitors should be used when possible, as they are the best choice in preventing leakage current. When
polarized capacitors are used, the positive side of the capacitor must face the amplifier input in most applications,
as the DC level there is held at VDD/2, which is likely higher than the source DC level. It is important to confirm
the capacitor polarity in the application.

10.2.2.2.3 Decoupling Capacitor (CS)
The TPA6204A1 is a high-performance CMOS audio amplifier that requires adequate power supply decoupling to
ensure the output total harmonic distortion (THD) is as low as possible. Power supply decoupling also prevents
oscillations for long lead lengths between the amplifier and the speaker. For higher frequency transients, spikes,
or digital hash on the line, a good low equivalent-series resistance (ESR) ceramic capacitor, typically 0.1 μF to
1 μF, placed as close as possible to the device VDD lead works best. For filtering lower frequency noise signals,
a 10-μF or greater capacitor placed near the audio power amplifier also helps, but is not required in most
applications because of the high PSRR of this device.

11 Power Supply Recommendations
The TPA6204A1 is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 2.5 V and 5.5 V. Therefore,
the output voltage range of power supply must be within this range and well regulated. The current capability of
upper power must not exceed the maximum current limit of the power switch. TI recommends placing decoupling
capacitors in every voltage source pin. Place these decoupling capacitors as close as possible to the
TPA6204A1.

11.1 Power Supply Decoupling Capacitor
The TPA6204A1 device requires adequate power supply decoupling to ensure a high efficiency operation with
low total harmonic distortion (THD). Place a low equivalent series resistance (ESR) ceramic capacitor, typically
0.1 µF, as close as possible of the VDD pin. This choice of capacitor and placement helps with higher frequency
transients, spikes, or digital hash on the line. Also is recommended to place a 2.2-µF to 10-µF capacitor on the
VDD supply trace. This larger capacitor acts as a charge reservoir, providing energy faster than the board
supply, thus helping to prevent any droop in the supply voltage.
