General Description
The PAM8603M is a 3W, sterero, class-D audio amplifier with DC volume control. It offers low THD+N, allowing it to produce high-quality sound reproduction. The new filterless architecture allows the device to drive the speaker directly, requiring no low-pass output filters , which saves the system cost and PCB area. With the same numbers of external components, the efficiency of the PAM8603M is much better than class-AB cousins. It can extend the battery life thus ideal for portable applications. The PAM8603M is available in SSOP-24 and SOP-18 packages.

PAM8603M
3W Filterless Stereo Class-D Audio Amplifier with DC Volume Control
Application Notice
1. When the PAM8603M works with LC filters, it should be connected with the speaker before it is powered on, otherwise it will be damaged easily.
2. When the PAM8603M works without LC filters, it's better to add a ferrite chip bead at the outgoing line of speaker to suppress the possible electromagnetic interference.
3. The input signal should not be too high. If too high, it will cause the clipping of output signal when increasing the volume. Because the DC volume control of the PAM8603M has big gain, it will make the device damaged. 4. When testing the PAM8603M without LC filters by using resistor instead of speaker as the output load, the test results, e.g. efficiency, will be worse than those using speaker as load.

PAM8603M
3W Filterless Stereo Class-D Audio Amplifier with DC Volume Control
Application Information
Mute Operation The MUTE pin is an input for controlling the output state of the PAM8603M. A logic low on this pin disables the outputs, and a logic high enables the outputs. This pin may be used as a quick disable or enable of the outputs without a volume fade. Quiescent current is listed in the electrical characteristic table. The MUTE pin can be left floating due to the internal pull-up . For better power-off pop performance, the amplifier should be placed in the mute mode prior to removing the power supply. Shutdown Operation In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, the PAM8603M contains shutdown circuitry to turn off the amplifier's bias circuitry. The amplifier is turned off when logic low is placed on the SHDN pin. By switching the SHDN pin connected to GND, the PAM8603M supply current draw will be minimized in idle mode. The SHDN pin can be left floating due to the internal pull-up. Power Supply Decoupling The PAM8603M is a high performance CMOS audio amplifier that requires adequate power supply decoupling to ensure the output THD and PSRR as low as possible. Power supply decoupling affects low frequency response. Optimum decoupling is achieved by using two capacitors of different types that target different noise on the power supply leads. For higher frequency transients, spikes, or digital hash on the line, a good low equivalent-series resistance (ESR) ceramic capacitor, typically 1.0 μ F, placed as close as possible to the device VDD terminal works best. For filtering lower-frequency noise signals, a large capacitor of 10μF (ceramic) or greater placed near the audio power amplifier is recommended. Input Capacitor (C i) Large input capacitors are both expensive and space hungry for portable designs. Clearly, a certain sized capacitor is needed to couple in low frequencies without severe attenu ation. But in many cases the speakers used in portable systems, whether internal or external, have little ability to reproduce signals below 100Hz to 150Hz. Thus, using a large input capacitor may not increase actual system perfor mance. In this case, input capacitor (C i) and input resistance (R i) of the amplifier form a high-pass filter with the corner frequency determined equation below,
1 2πRiCi In addition to system cost and size, click and pop perfor mance is affected by the size of the input coupling capacitor, C i. A larger input coupling capacitor requires more charge to reach its quiescent DC voltage (nominally 1/2 V DD). This charge comes from the internal circuit via the feedback and is apt to create pops upon device enable. Thus, by minimizing the capacitor size based on necessary low frequency response, turn-on pops can be minimized. fC=
Analog Reference Bypass Capacitor (C BYP) The Analog Reference Bypass Capacitor (C BYP) is the most critical capacitor and serves several important functions. During start-up or recovery from shutdown mode, C BYP determines the rate at which the amplifier starts up. The second function is to reduce noise produced by the power supply coupling in the output drive signal. This noise is from the internal analog reference to the amplifier which appears as degraded PSRR and THD+N. A ceramic bypass capacitor (C BYP) of 0.47μF to 1.0μF is recommended for the best THD and noise performance. Increasing the bypass capacitor reduces clicking and popping noise from power on/off and entering and leaving shutdown. Under Voltage Lock-out (UVLO) The PAM8603M incorporates circuitry to detect low supply voltage. When the supply voltage drops to 1.8V or below, the PAM8603M outputs are disable. The device resumes to normal functional once V DD ≥2.0V. Short Circuit Protection (SCP) The PAM8603M has short circuit protection circuitry on the outputs to prevent the device from damage when output-to-output or output-to-GND short. When a short circuit is detected on the outputs, the outputs are disable immediately. If the short was removed, the device activates again.

O ver Temperature Protection Thermal protection on the PAM8603M prevents the device from damage when the internal die temperature exceeds 135°C. There is a 15 degree tolerance on this trip point from device to device. Once the die temperature exceeds the thermal set point, the device outputs are disabled. This is not a latched fault. The thermal fault is cleared once the temperature of the die is reduced by 30 °C . This large hysteresis will prevent motor boating sound well. The device begins normal operation at this point without external system interaction. How to Reduce EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) A simple solution is to put an additional capacitor 1000 μ F at power supply terminal for power line coupling if the traces from amplifier to speakers are short (
