10W Stereo Class-D Speaker Driver Amplifier
General Description
Features
The RT9116 is a 10W per channel, high efficiency Class D
stereo audio amplifier for driving bridge tied load (BTL)
speakers. The RT9116 can drive stereo speakers with load
as low as 4Ω. Its high efficiency eliminates the need for
an extra heat sink when playing music. The gain of the
amplifier can be controlled by gain select pins. The outputs
are fully protected against shorts to GND, PVCC, and
output to output with an auto recovery feature and monitored
output.
The RT9116 is available in the WQFN-28L 4x5 package.

Operation
The RT9116 is a dual-channel 2 x 10W efficient, Class D
audio power amplifier for driving bridge-tied stereo
speakers. The RT9116 uses the three-level modulation
(BD model) scheme that allows operation without external
LC reconstruction when the amplifier is driving an inductive
load.
Moreover, the built-in spread spectrum modulation can
efficiently reduce EMI and save the cost of the external
inductor, replaced by ferrite beads.
A closed-loop modulator, which enables negative error
feedback, can improve THD+N and PSRR of output signals.
The RT9116 offers two selectable power limit thresholds,
5W/10W under 8Ω for protecting load speakers.
Though there is no requirement for power limit, the
resistance connected from the PLIMIT pin to ground must
be greater than 500kΩ.
The RT9116 features over-current protection against output
stage short-circuit conditions.
When a short-circuit condition occurs, amplifier outputs
will be switched to a Hi-Z state, and the short-circuit
protection latch will be triggered. Once the short-circuit
condition is removed, the RT9116 will be automatically
recovered.
The RT9116 can drive stereo speakers as low as 4Ω. The
high efficiency of the RT9116, 90%, eliminates the need
for an external heat sink when playing music.
These two limit thresholds can be set easily by connecting
two different resistors, 25kΩ/150kΩ, from the PLIMIT pin
to ground.

RT9116
Application Information
GVDD Supply
Over-Current Protection (OCP)
The GVDD is used to supply the Gate Drivers for the output
full bridge transistors. Connect a 1μF capacitor from this
pin to ground for good bypass. The typical GVDD output
voltage is 5V.
The RT9116 provides OCP function to prevent the device
from damages during overload or short-circuit conditions.
The current are detected by an internal sensing circuit.
Once overload happens, the OCP function is designed to
operate in auto-recovery mode.
Amplifier Gain Setting
The gain of the RT9116 amplifier can be set by one input
terminals, GAIN shown as Table 1.
The gain setting is realized by changing the taps on the
input resistors and feedback resistors inside the amplifier.
This causes the input impedance (ZI) to be dependent on
the gain setting. The actual gain settings are controlled
by the ratios of the resistors, so the gain variation from
part-to-part is small. However, the input impedance from
part-to-part at the same gain may shift by ±20% due to
shifts in the actual resistance of the input resistors.

GAIN
EN Operation
The RT9116 employs a shutdown mode operation designed
to reduce supply current (ICC) to the absolute minimum
level for power saving. The EN input terminal should be
held high (see specification table for trip point) in normal
operation. Pulling EN low causes the outputs to mute
and the amplifier to enter a low current state. Leaving EN
floating will cause the amplifier operation to be
unpredictable. Never leave EN pin unconnected. For the
best power-off pop performance, turn off the amplifier in
the shutdown mode prior to removing the power supply
voltage.
DC Detect Protection
RT9116 has circuitry which will protect the speakers from
DC current which might occur due to defective capacitors
on the input or shorts on the printed circuit board at the
inputs. To clear the DC Detect it is necessary to cycle
the PVCC supply.
ADC Detect Fault is issued when the output differential
duty-cycle of either channel exceeds 18% (for example,
+59%, −41%) for more than 290 msec at the same polarity.
This feature protects the speaker from large DC currents
or AC currents less than 4Hz. To avoid nuisance faults
due to the DC detect circuit, hold the SD pin low at powerup until the signals at the inputs are stable. Also, take
care to match the impedance seen at the positive and
negative inputs to avoid nuisance DC detect faults.
Under-Voltage Protection (UVP)
The RT9116 monitors the voltage on PVDD voltage
threshold. When the voltage on PVDDL and PVDDR pin
falls below the under voltage threshold, 7V (typ.), the UVP
circuit turns off the output immediately and operates in
cycle by cycle auto-recovery mode.
Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
The RT9116 monitors the voltage on PVDD voltage
threshold. When the voltage on PVDDL and PVDDR pin
rise behind the over voltage threshold, 15V (typ.), the OVP
circuit turns off the output immediately and operates in
cycle by cycle auto-recovery mode.
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)
The OTP prevents damage to the device when the internal
die temperature exceeds 170°C. There is a ±15°C tolerance
on this trip point from device to device. Once the die
temperature exceeds the OTP threshold, the device enters

into the shutdown state and the outputs are disabled. This
is not a latched fault. The thermal fault is cleared once
the temperature of the die is reduced by 15°C. The device
begins normal operation at this point with no external
system interaction.
Power-On/Off Sequence
Use the following sequence to power on the device
PVCC power supply ready.
Past EN = 1 (EN pin goes high)
Thermal Considerations
The junction temperature should never exceed the
absolute maximum junction temperature TJ(MAX), listed
under Absolute Maximum Ratings, to avoid permanent
damage to the device. The maximum allowable power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, the PCB layout, the rate of surrounding airflow,
and the difference between the junction and ambient
temperatures. The maximum power dissipation can be
calculated using the following formula :
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA) / θJA
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is
the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction-to-ambient
thermal resistance.
PVCC

Use the following sequence to power off the device

shutdown
EN
For continuous operation, the maximum operating junction
temperature indicated under Recommended Operating
Conditions is 125°C. The junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance, θJA, is highly package dependent. For a
WQFN-28L 4x5 package, the thermal resistance, θJA, is
27.4°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 high effective-thermalconductivity four-layer test board. The maximum power
dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated as below :
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (27.4°C/W) = 3.64W for a
WQFN-28L 4x5 package.
PVCC
Figure 2. Power Off Sequence
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for the fixed TJ(MAX) and the thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curves in Figure 3 allows
the designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.
The voltage at the PLIMIT pin can used to limit the power
to levels below that which is possible based on the supply
rail. Add a resistor (Table 2) to ground set the voltage at
the PLIMIT pin. Also add a 1μF capacitor from the PLIMIT
pin to ground. The PLIMIT circuit sets a limit on the output
Power.

LINN, RINP & RINN) and (OUTPL & OUTNL, OUTPR &
OUTNR) should be kept equal width and length
respectively. The thermal pad must be soldered to the
PCB for proper thermal performance and optimal reliability.
The dimensions of the thermal pad and thermal land should
be larger for application. The vias should connect to a
solid copper plane, either on an internal layer or on the
bottom layer of the PCB.
Layout Considerations
For the best performance of the RT9116, the below PCB
layout guidelines must be strictly followed.
Place the decoupling capacitors as close as possible to
the AVCC, PVDDL, PVDDR and GND pins. For achieving
a good quality, consider adding a small, good performance
low ESR ceramic capacitor between 220pF and 1000pF
and a larger mid-frequency capacitor between 0.1μF and
1μF to the PVDD pins of the chip. The traces of (LINP &
