LX1722HV Evaluation Board Quick Start Guide
LX1722HV EVB is a fully functional amplifier board for evaluation. It uses Microsemi’s LX1722, a stereo controller, to input
mono signal into both left and right channels with right channel polarity reversed. Then it takes both positive PWM outputs of left
and right channels leaving both negative outputs open into a pair of MOSFET drivers and MOSFETs, to level shift up to +VB
(48V in this EVB), to reach high power with BTL configuration. In this case, with zero input voltage, the duty cycle at each
output is around 50% and the signals are in-phase with each other, so there is basically no differential voltage across the speaker.
This topology will give you minimum quiescent current and no “pop” noise.
When the input signal goes positiv e, the duty cycle at OUT+ (left output) increases above 50% and the duty cycle at OUT- (right
output) decreases below 50% because the signal into right channel is reversed. This causes a net positive current to flow into the
speaker. A negative inpu t voltage causes the OUT- duty cycle to increase and the OUT+ duty cycle to decrease, which causes a
net negative current to flow into the speaker. The differential voltage across the speaker has a fundamental frequency of twice the
switching frequency. The speaker itself serves as the low pass filter, which then recreates the audio signal. This type of
modulation can be described as driving +VB, PGND and -VB across the speaker, which is why it is referred to as 3-Level
modulation.
The filter can be completely eliminated if the speaker is inductive at the switching frequency. The main trade off to eliminating
the filter is that the power from the switching waveform is dissipated in the speaker, which leads to a higher quiescent current,
IQQ. The speaker is both resistive and reactive, whereas an LC filter is almost purely reactive. The switching waveform, driven
directly into the speaker, may damage the speaker, however this is not as significant because the speaker cone movement is
proportional to 1/f2 for frequencies beyond the audio band. Therefore, the amount of cone movement at the switching frequency
is insignificant. But damage could occur to the speaker if the voice coil is not designed to handle the additional power.
Eliminating the filter also causes the amplifier to radiate EMI from the wires connecting the amplifier to the speaker. Therefore,
the filter less application is not recommended for EMI sensitive application s, or long speaker wire application.
The amplifier will support continuous output power levels up to > 200W into 6 ohm load (10% THD+N).
Board Setting
1. Power and Ground Connections: The terminal J6 is for the power supply connection. PVDD is connected to the
positive polarity of the power supply (+10V ~ +12V); the +VB is connected to the positive polarity of the power
supply (+48V); the GND is connected to the common negative polarity of this two power supplies. Please make
sure your power supp ly polarity connection and supply voltage is correct before you start to evaluate the board.
2. Speaker Connection: J4 is speaker output. Connect speaker “+” and “-“to “OUT+” and “OUT-“of J4. This
evaluation board is designed for 6 and 8 OHMS speaker load.
3. Audio Input Connections: J1 is the audio input conn ections for different input connecto rs. Both are different inputs,
but single-ended inpu t is available, just be careful, if the input audio source GND is not connected to the evaluation
board GND, close th e JUMPER JP1. When audio inpu ts are differential, the positive au dio inputs are connected to
IN+ pin, while the negative input is connected to IN- pin of the J1 header.
4. SLEEP/MUTE Connections: JP4 is the jumper selection for ON/OFF of the MUTE and SLEEP function. To enable
the amplifier, both jumpers should be set to “OFF” (SLEEP is OFF, default is left OPEN, and MUTE is OFF).
