MP7751
26V, 2x20W Stereo BTL Fix Frequency
Class D Audio Amplifier
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
MP7751 is an analog input Class D Audio
Amplifier which can drive stereo speakers in
bridge-tied-load configuration. It is one of MPS’
products of fully integrated audio amplifiers
which dramatically reduce solution size by
integrating the following:
•
•
•
240mΩ power MOSFETs
•
Startup / Shutdown pop elimination
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Short circuit protection circuits
Advanced EMI performance
The MP7751 utilizes a stereo BTL structure
capable of delivering 20W per channel into 8Ω
speakers at 18V power supply. MPS Class D
Audio Amplifiers exhibit the high fidelity of a
Class AB amplifier at high efficiencies.
The MP7751 includes an internal circuit which
allows the system automatic shutdown after the
absence of the audio signal. This feature is
used for energy-using products and for battery
operated applications.
It also has an adjustable power limit function.
The PLIMIT circuit sets a limit on the output
peak-to-peak voltage. The limiting is done by
limiting the duty cycle to fixed maximum value.
This limit can be thought of as a "virtual"
voltage rail which is lower than the supply
connected to PVCC.

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.

MP7751 – 26V, 2X20W STEREO BTL FIX FREQUENCY CLASS D AUDIO AMPLIFIER
OPERATION
The MP7751 is a fully integrated Class D stereo
BTL audio amplifier. 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.
The MP7751 includes a delay circuit which
allows the IC continues to hold the flag after the
absence of the audio signal. This holding time
can be adjusted with external capacitor.
1.
The amplifier has fully differential outputs and
inputs. The differential input is useful to minimize
the common-mode noise (any noise that appears
on both input lines of the channel). This device
can still be used with a single-ended input.
The MP7751 includes eight high-power
MOSFETs wherein for each half-bridge channel
the output driver stage uses two 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 OUTxx and BSTxx
pins. While the output is driven low, the bootstrap
capacitor is charged from power supply through
an internal circuit. The gate of the high-side
MOSFET is driven high from the voltage at
Bootstrap Supply, forcing the MOSFET gate to a
voltage higher than power supply voltage and
allowing the MOSFET to fully turn on, reducing
power loss in the amplifier.
The gain of the MP7751 is set by the input
terminals, GAIN0 and GAIN1. The actual gain
settings are controlled by ratios of the input and
feedback resistors
Enable Function
The MP7751 EN input is an active high enable
control. To enable the MP7751, drive EN with a
2.0V or higher voltage. To disable the amplifier,
drive it below 0.4V. While the MP7751 is disabled,
the PVCC operating current is around 250μA and
the output driver MOSFETs are turned off.
The input absence flag will be high initially
when power on. After device enabled, the
internal circuit start to detect the input signal.
MP7751 will then hold the output report and
normal operation for a delay time which can
be adjusted by the Capacitor value @ pin 14.
Then MP7751 will turn off the all MOSFETs
and pull low the input absence output, until
the input signal detected again.
Figure 1a: enable on with no signal detected
2.
The input absence flag output will be or
maintain high when input signal is detected.
The delay circuit will only be activated when
the input signal absence. MP7751 will then
hold the output report for a delay time which
can be adjusted by the Capacitor value @
pin 14. Then MP7751 will turn off the all
MOSFETs and pull low the input absence
output, until the input signal detected again.
Input signal Absence detect
The MP7751 includes an internal circuit which
allows the system automatic shutdown after the
absence of the audio signal. This feature is used
for energy-using products and for battery
operated applications.

Adjustable Power Limit
Power limit and anti-clipping feature control. The
voltage at pin 10 can used to limit the power to
levels below that which is possible based on the
supply rail.
Connect a resistor divider from AVCC to GND to
set power limit. Connect directly to AVCC for no
power limit.
An external reference may also be used if tighter
tolerance is required. Also add a 1μF capacitor
from pin 10 to ground.
The PLIMIT circuit sets a limit on the output
peak-to-peak voltage. The limiting is done by
limiting the duty cycle to fixed maximum value.
This limit can be thought of as a "virtual" voltage
rail which is lower than the supply connected to
PVCC. This "virtual" rail is 8 times the voltage at
the PLIMIT pin. This output voltage can be used
to calculate the maximum output power for a

Over-Temperature Shutdown
Thermal monitoring is also integrated into the
MP7751. If the die temperature rises above
150°C, all switches turn off. The temperature
must fall below 130°C before normal operation
resumes, with the same power-up sequence
used to prevent popping noise.
Short Circuit Performance
The MP7751 has internal overload and short
circuit protection. The currents in both the highside and low-side MOSFETs are measured.
Upon detection of short circuit, all MOSFETs of
the over current full bridge channel will go into
high impedance for a fixed duration before
resuming normal operation. After the fixed
duration and the short circuit condition is
removed, the MP7751 will restart with the start
up sequence that is used for normal starting to
prevent a pop from occurring.
Figure 3: Fault Timing Chart
Fault Output
The MP7751 includes an open drain, active low
fault indicator output on the /FAULT pin. A fault
triggers if either the current limit or thermal
shutdown is tripped.
A fault on any channel will cause the FAULTB pin
to pull low. A fault on either channel will cause
the all outputs to go into high impedance. When
the fault goes away, the MP7751 will resume
normal operation.

Delay time for input signal absence report
The Recovery time is defined as follows.
Tdelay = 1.6 × 108 × CR [ sec ]
Choosing the Output LC Filter
The inductor-capacitor (LC) filter converts the
pulses at SW to the output voltage that drives
the speaker. There are two kinds of LC filter
structure depending on the output configuration.

Where:
LF = LF1 + LF2 ,

LF1 = LF2 ;
CY1 = CY2
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 the SW pin. The
characteristic frequency of the LC filter is:
f0 =
1
2 × π × LF × 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 frequencies and reduce the
passband flatness. The circuit Q is set by the
load resistance (speaker resistance, typically
4Ω or 8Ω). Q is calculated as:
Q=
MP7751 Rev. 1.0

ω0 is the characteristic frequency in
radians/second and f0 is in Hz. Use an LC filter
with Q between 0.7 and 1.4.
The type of inductor and capacitor used in the
LC filter greatly affects the output ripple and
noise. Use a film capacitor and an inductor with
sufficient power rating to supply the output
current to the load. The inductor must exhibit
soft saturation characteristics: If the inductor
exhibits hard saturation, it should operate well
below the saturation current. Use toroidal cores
made of gapped ferrite, MPP, powdered iron, or
similar materials. If using either an open or
shielded bobbin ferrite core for multi-channel
designs, make sure that the start windings of
each inductor align (all starting toward the SW
pin, or all starting toward the output) to prevent
crosstalk
or
other
channel-to-channel
interference.
Input Coupling Capacitor
The input coupling capacitor transmits the AC
signal from the source to the MP7751 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
The impedance of the input resister is different
with the different gain setting. At the same gain
setting, the input impedance from part-to-part
may shift by ±20% due to shifts in the actual
resistance of the input resistors. But please
note that the gain variation from part-to-part is
small.
For design purposes, the input network should
be designed assuming an input impedance of
16 kΩ, which is the absolute minimum input
impedance of the MP7751. At the lower gain
settings, the input impedance could increase as
high as 90 kΩ.

MP7751 – 26V, 2X20W STEREO BTL FIX FREQUENCY CLASS D AUDIO AMPLIFIER
Power Source
For maximum output power, the amplifier circuit
requires a regulated external power source. A
high power-supply voltage can deliver more
power to a given load resistance, but a powersource voltage exceeding the maximum voltage
of 26V can damage the MP7751. The
MP7751’s power supply rejection is excellent,
though power-supply noise can pass 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 two smaller 1μF and 1nF ceramic
capacitors at the MP7751 VCC supply pins.
PCB Layout
Circuit layout is critical for optimal performance,
low output distortion, and noise. Duplicate the
EVB layout for best results. For layout changes,
follow these guidelines and use Figure 7 and
Figure 8 as references.
1) Place the following components as close to
the MP7751 as possible:
Bootstrap Capacitors
CBS supply the gate drive current to the internal
HS-FET. Place CBS as close to BST pin and SW
pin as possible.
Power Supply Bypass Capacitors
CBYP carry the transient current for the switching
power stage. To avoid overstressing the
MP7751 and excessive output noise, place
CBYP as close to the PVCC pins as possible.
prevents channel-to-channel coupling through
the power supply input.
Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI)
Considerations
Due to the switching nature of Class D
amplifiers, care must be taken to minimize the
effects of electromagnetic interference from the
amplifier. However, proper component selection
and careful attention to circuit layout can
minimize the effects of the EMI due to the
amplifier switching.
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-ferritebobbin-core inductors. These inductors typically
do not contain the EM field as well toroidal
inductors, but can achieve a better balance
between good EMI performance with low cost.
The size of high-current loops that carry rapidly
changing currents must be minimized: Make
sure that the VCC bypass capacitors are as
close to the MP7751 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.
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.
3) Make sure that any traces carrying the switch
node (SW) voltages are routed far from any
input signal traces. If the trace must run near
the SW trace near the input, shield the input
with a ground plane between the traces.
Physically separate each channel to prevent
crosstalk. Make sure that all inductors used on
a single circuit board have the same orientation.
Route each power supply from the source to
each channel individually, not serially. This
