Notes:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of
the maximum junction temperature TJ (MAX), the junction-toambient thermal resistance θJA, and the ambient temperature
TA. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by PD (MAX) =
(TJ(MAX)-TA)/ θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the
regulator will go into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal
shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent
damage.
3) The device is not guaranteed to function outside of its
operating conditions.

MP7748 – 2X20W STEREO SINGLE ENDED CLASS D AUDIO AMPLIFIER
OPERATION
The MP7748 is a Class D Audio Amplifier for
driving stereo speakers in single-ended
configuration or a mono speaker in bridge-tiedload configuration. It uses the Monolithic Power
Systems
patented
Analog
Adaptive
ModulationTM to convert the audio input signal
into pulses. These pulses drive an internal highcurrent output stage and, when filtered through
an external inductor-capacitor filter, reproduce
the input signal across the load. Because of the
switching Class D output stage, power
dissipation in the amplifier is drastically reduced
when compared to Class A, B or A/B amplifiers
while maintaining high fidelity and low
distortion.
REF1/2 are the positive inputs of the two
amplifiers. They are set to half the DC power
supply input voltage (VDD/2) by the internal
circuit. The input capacitor CIN couple the AC
signal at the input.
The amplifier voltage gain is set by the
combination of the input resister RIN1/2 and the
feedback resistor RFB1/2 and is calculated by the
equation:
AV =
−R FB
R IN
The MP7748 includes four high-power
MOSFETs wherein for each channel the output
driver stage uses two 250mΩ N-channel
MOSFETs to deliver the pulses to the LC output
filter which in turn drives the load. To fully
enhance the high-side MOSFET, the gate is
driven to a voltage higher than the source by
the bootstrap capacitor between SW and BS.
While the output is driven low, the bootstrap
capacitor is charged from VDD through an
internal circuit on the MP7748. The gate of the
high-side MOSFET is driven high from the
voltage at BS, forcing the MOSFET gate to a
voltage higher than VDD and allowing the
MOSFET to fully turn on, reducing power loss in
the amplifier.
Pop Elimination
The MP7748 integrates a source current
function to charge the AC coupling capacitor
COUT1/2 for the SE output configuration and CIN1/2
at the start up moment. The start up source
current slew rate is adjustable by selecting

different capacitance of timer capacitor
CTIMER1/2. The larger the capacitance of the timer
capacitor is, the smaller the start up current
slew rate is. The recommended 2.2µF timer
capacitor results in a start up current slew rate
of approximately 20mA/350ms which would
help to minimize the turn on pop.
After driving EN pin low, output SW will be set
to high impedance immediately which would
help to eliminate the turn off pop.
Short Circuit/Overload Protection
The MP7748 has internal overload and short
circuit protection. The currents in both the highside and low-side MOSFETs are measured and
if the current exceeds the 4.5A short circuit
current limit, both MOSFETs are turned off. The
MP7748 then restarts with the same power up
sequence that is used for normal starting to
prevent a pop from occurring after a short
circuit condition is removed.
Enable Function
The MP7748 EN input is an active high enable
control. To enable the MP7748, drive EN with a
2.0V or higher voltage. To disable the amplifier,
drive it below 0.4V. While the MP7748 is
disabled, the VDD operating current is less than
140µA and the output driver MOSFETs are
turned off.
Programmable UVP
MP7748 integrate programmable UVP function,
which can be used to shutdown the MP7748 to
escape the pop, by controlling the UVP node
voltage. The corresponding circuit is shown in
the followed figure 2. If the UVP pin is NC, the
default VDD shutdown voltage (rising threshold)
is 8.4V since there is internal voltage divided
circuit. The VDD shutdown voltage can be
flexibly adjusted by controlling UVP pin voltage
The recommended VDD shutdown voltage is
from 9.5V to power supply. As shown in the
figure 2, if external resistor RH and RL is low
enough (e.g. RH, RL < 50kΩ) compared with
internal 500kΩ and 550kΩ resistor, the VDD
shutdown voltage (rising threshold) can be
calculated by the equation:

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Component Selection
The MP7748 uses a minimum number of external
components to complete a stereo SE or mono
BTL Class D audio amplifier. The circuit of Figure
3 (stereo SE application circuit) and figure 4
(mono BLT application circuit) are optimized for a
24V power supply. This circuit should be suitable
for most applications, and use the following
sections to determine how to customize the
amplifier for a particular application.
with 50k Hz difference by using different timing
capacitor CINT. For detailed please refer to the
table 1 for recommended SE output configuration
design, and table 2 for recommended BTL output
configuration design.

Setting the Voltage Gain
The maximum output voltage swing is limited by
the power supply. To achieve the maximum
power out of the MP7748 amplifier, set the gain
such that the maximum input signal results in the
maximum output voltage swing.
For single-ended (SE) output configuration, the
maximum output voltage VOUT(PK) is VDD/2. For
bridge-tied-load (BTL) output configuration, the
maximum output voltage VOUT(PK) is VDD. For a
given input signal voltage, where VIN(PK) is the
peak input voltage, the maximum voltage gain is:

This voltage gain setting results in the peak
output voltage approaching it’s maximum for the
maximum input signal. In some cases the
amplifier is allowed to overdrive slightly, allowing
the THD to increase at high power levels, and so
a higher gain than AV (max) is required.
Setting the Switching Frequency
The idle switching frequency (the switching
frequency when no audio input is present) is a
function of several variables: the supply voltage
VDD, the integral capacitor CINT and the feedback
resistor RFB. Lower switching frequency results in
more inductor ripple, causing more quiescent
output voltage ripple and increasing the output
noise
and
distortion.
Higher
switching
frequencies result in more power loss. The
optimum quiescent switching frequency is
approximately 600kHz. When used to drive
stereo speakers in single-ended configuration, it
is recommended to set right channel idle
switching frequency larger than left channel’s

MP7748 – 2X20W STEREO SINGLE ENDED CLASS D AUDIO AMPLIFIER
Choosing the Output LC Filter
The Inductor-Capacitor (LC) filter converts the
pulse train at SW to the output voltage that drives
the speaker. There are two kinds of LC filter
structure depending on the output configuration.
COUT
LF
SW1/2
CF
RLOAD

Where:
L F = L F1 + L F 2 ,
CF = CX +
C Y1 × C Y 2
,
C Y1 + C Y 2
L F1 = L F 2 ;
C Y1 = C Y 2
The characteristic frequency of the LC filter
needs to be high enough to allow high frequency
audio to the output, yet needs to be low enough
to filter out high frequency products of the pulses
from SW. The characteristic frequency of the LC
filter is:
f0 =
1
2 × π × L F × CF
The quality factor (Q) of the LC filter is important.
If this is too low, output noise will increase, if this is
too high, then peaking may occur at high signal
frequencies reducing the passband flatness. The
circuit Q is set by the load resistance (speaker
resistance, typically 4Ω or 8Ω). The Q is
calculated as:
Q=
MP7748 Rev. 1.0
1/28/2011
RLOAD
RLOAD
=
ω0 × LF 2π × f0 × LF
ω0 is the characteristic frequency in radians per
second and f0 is in Hz. Use an LC filter with Q
between 0.7 and 1.
The actual output ripple and noise is greatly
affected by the type of inductor and capacitor used
in the LC filter. Use a film capacitor and an
inductor with sufficient power handling capability
to supply the output current to the load. The
inductor
should
exhibit
soft
saturation
characteristics. If the inductor exhibits hard
saturation, it should operate well below the
saturation current. Gapped ferrite, MPP,
Powdered Iron, or similar type toroidal cores are
recommended. If open or shielded bobbin ferrite
cores are used for multi-channel designs, make
sure that the start windings of each inductor line
up (all starts going toward SW pin, or all starts
going toward the output) to prevent crosstalk or
other channel-to-channel interference.
Output Coupling Capacitor For SE Output
The output AC coupling capacitor COUT serves to
block DC voltages and thus passes only the
amplified AC signal from the LC filter to the load.
The combination of the coupling capacitor, COUT
and the load resistance results in a first-order
high-pass filter. The value of COUT should be
selected such that the required minimum
frequency is still allowed to pass. The output
corner frequency (-3dB point), fOUT, can be
calculated as:
f OUT =
1
2 × π × R LOAD × C OUT
Set the output corner frequency (fOUT) at or below
the minimum required frequency.
The output coupling capacitor carries the full load
current, so a capacitor should be chosen such
that its ripple current rating is greater than the
maximum load current. Low ESR aluminum
electrolytic capacitors are recommended.
Input Coupling Capacitor
The input coupling capacitors CIN1 and CIN2 are
used to pass only the AC signal at the input. In a
typical system application, the source input signal
is typically centered around the circuit ground,
while the MP7748 input is at half the power
supply voltage (VDD/2). The input coupling
capacitor transmits the AC signal from the source

MP7748 – 2X20W STEREO SINGLE ENDED CLASS D AUDIO AMPLIFIER
to the MP7748 while blocking the DC voltage.
Choose an input coupling capacitor such that the
corner frequency (fIN) is less than the passband
frequency. The corner frequency is calculated as:
fIN =
1
2 × π × R IN × CIN
Timer capacitor
The start up source current slew rate is
adjustable by selecting different capacitance of
timer capacitor CTIMER. The larger the CTIMER
capacitance is, the smaller the start up current
slew rate is. It is recommended to use the CTIMER
which capacitance is larger than 312nF, so the
start up current slew rate would be smaller than
20mA/50ms which would help to eliminate the
turn on pop. The recommended 2.2µF capacitor
CTIMER results in a start up current slew rate of
approximately 20mA/350ms.
Power Source
For maximum output power, the amplifier circuit
requires a regulated external power source to
supply the power to the amplifier. The higher the
power supply voltage, the more power can be
delivered to a given load resistance, however if
the power source voltage exceeds the maximum
voltage of 36V, the MP7748 may sustain
damage. The power supply rejection of the
MP7748 is excellent, however noise at the power
supply can get to the output, so care must be
taken to minimize power supply noise within the
pass-band frequencies. Bypass the power supply
with a large capacitor (typically aluminum
electrolytic) along with a smaller 1µF ceramic
capacitor at the MP7748 VDD supply pins.
possible. Likewise, place CBS2 as close to BST2
pin and SW2 pins as possible.
Power Supply Bypass Cap
CBYP1 and CBYP2 carry the transient current for the
switching power stage. To prevent overstressing
of the MP7748 and excessive noise at the output,
place CBYP1 as close to VDD1 pins and PGND1
pins as possible and also place CBYP2 as close to
VDD2 pins and PGND2 pins as possible.
Integral Capacitors
CINT are used to set the amplifier switching
frequencies and are typically on the order of a
few nF. Place the integral capacitor CINT as close
to the corresponding input as possible to reduce
distortion and noise. For example, place CINT1 as
close to pins 2 and 3 as possible at SE output
configuration.
Reference Bypass Capacitors For SE Output
When used with SE output, CR1 and CR2 is
needed to filter the ½ VDD reference voltages.
Place CR1 and CR2 as close to the IC as possible
to improve power supply rejection and reduce
distortion and noise at the output.
2) The Inductor-Capacitor (LC) filter converts the
pulse train at SW to the output voltage that drives
the speaker. Please keep the filter capacitor
close to the inductor.
Bootstrap Cap
3) When laying out the PCB, use two separate
ground planes, analog ground (AGND) and
power ground (PGND), and connect the two
grounds together at a single point (usually
around the bulk bypass capacitor) to prevent
noise injection into the amplifier input to reduce
distortion.
4) Keep the sensitive feedback signal trace on
the input side and shield the trace with the AGND
plane. Make sure that any traces carrying the
switch node (SW) voltages are separated far
from any input signal traces. If it is required to run
the SW trace near the input, shield the input with
a ground plane between the traces. Make sure
that each channel is physically separated to
prevent crosstalk. Make sure that all inductors
used on a single circuit board have the same
orientation.
CBS1 and CBS2 are used to supply the gate drive
current to the internal high-side MOSFET. Place
CBS1 as close to BST1/2 pin and SW1/2 pin as
Also, make sure that the power supply is routed
from the source to each channel individually, not
serially. This prevents channel-to-channel
PCB Layout
The circuit layout is critical for optimum
performance and low output distortion and noise.
It is highly recommended to duplicate EVB layout
for optimum performance. If change is
necessary, please follow these guidelines and
take Figure 7 for references.

the MP7748 as possible:

coupling through the power supply input.
Electro-Magnetic
Considerations
Interference
(EMI)
Due to the switching nature of the Class D
amplifier, care must be taken to minimize the
effects of electromagnetic interference from the
amplifier. However, with proper component
selection and careful attention to circuit layout,
the effects of the EMI due to the amplifier
switching can be minimized.
The power inductors are a potential source of
radiated emissions. For the best EMI
performance, use toroidal inductors, since the
magnetic field is well contained inside the core.
However toroidal inductors can be expensive to
wind. For a more economical solution, use
shielded gapped ferrite or shielded ferrite bobbin
core inductors. These inductors typically do not
contain the field as well toroidal inductors, but
usually can achieve a better balance of good EMI
performance with low cost.
The size of high-current loops that carry rapidly
changing currents needs to be minimized. To do
this, make sure that the VDD bypass capacitors
are as close to the MP7748 as possible.
Nodes that carry rapidly changing voltage, such
as SW, need to be made as small as possible. If
sensitive traces run near a trace connected to
SW, place a ground shield between the traces.
