3W Mono Low-Voltage Audio Power Amplifier
APA3010/1
The APA3010/1 is a bridged-tied load (BTL) audio power
amplifier developed especially for low-voltage applica-
tions where internal speakers. Operating with a 5V supply,
the APA3010/1 can deliver 3.3W of continuous power into
a BTL 3 load at 10% THD+N throughout voice band
frequencies. Although this device is characterized out to
20kHz, its operation is optimized for narrow band appli-
cations such as wireless communications. The BTL con-
figuration eliminates the need for external coupling ca-
pacitors on the output in most applications, which is par-
ticularly important for small battery-powered equipment.
This device features a shutdown mode for power sensi-
tive applications with special depop circuitry to eliminate
speaker noise when exiting shutdown mode. The
APA3010/1 are available in a SOP-8, SOP-8P or
MSOP-8P.

APA3010/1
Application Information
BTL Operation
The APA3010/1 output stage (power amplifier) has two
pairs of operational amplifiers internally, allowed for dif-
ferent amplifier configurations.
Figure 1. APA3010/1 Internal Configuration
The power amplifiers OP1 gain is setting by Ri and Rf
while the second amplifier OP2 is internally fixed in a
unity-gain, inverting configuration. Figure 1 shows that
the output of OP1 is connected to the input to OP2, which
results in the output signals of with both amplifiers with
identical in magnitude but out of phase 180°. Consequently,
the differential gain for each channel is 2 x (Gain of SE
mode).
By driving the load differentially through outputs OUTP
and OUTN, an amplifier configuration commonly referred
to bridged mode is established. BTL mode operation is
different from the classical single-ended SE amplifier
configuration where one side of its load is connected to
the ground.
A BTL amplifier design has few distinct advantages over
the SE configuration, as it provides differential drive to the
load, thus, doubling the output swing for a specified sup-
ply voltage.
When placed under the same conditions, a BTL amplifier
has four times the output power of a SE amplifier. A BTL
configuration, such as the one used in APA3010/1, also
creates a second advantage over SE amplifiers. Since
the differential outputs, OUTP and OUTN, are biased at
half-supply, it is not necessary for DC voltage to be across
the load. This eliminates the need for an output coupling
capacitor which is required in a single supply, SE
configuration.
Input Resistance, Ri
The gain for audio input of the APA3010/1 is set by the
external resistors (Ri and Rf).
Rf
Ri(1)
BTL Gain=-2 x
BTL mode operation brings the factor of 2 in the gain
equation due to the inverting amplifier mirroring the volt-
age swing across the load. The input resistance will af-
fect the low frequency performance of audio signal.
Input Capacitor, Ci
In the typical application, an input capacitor, Ci, is required
to allow the amplifier to bias the input signal to the proper
DC level for optimum operation. In this case, Ci and the
input impedance Ri (20k) form a high-pass filter with
the corner frequency determined in the following equa-
tion :1
2πx20kxCi(2)
fC(highpass)=
The value of Ci must be considered carefully because it
directly affects the low frequency performance of the circuit.
Consider the example where Ri is 10k and the specifi-
cation calls for a flat bass response down to 50Hz. Equa-
tion is reconfigured as below :
1
2πx20kxfC(3)
Ci=
When input resistance is considered, the Ci is 0.16µF, so
a value in the range of 0.22µF to 1.0µF would be chosen.
A further consideration for this capacitor is the leakage
path from the input source through the input network
(Ri+Rf, Ci) to the load.
This leakage current creates a DC offset voltage at the
input to the amplifier that reduces useful headroom, es-
pecially in high gain applications. For this reason, a low-
leakage tantalum or ceramic capacitor is the best choice.
When polarized capacitors are used, the positive side of
the capacitor should face the amplifier input in most appli-
cations as the DC level of the amplifier input is held at
VDD/2. Please note that it is important to confirm the ca-
pacitor polarity in the application.

APA3010/1
Application Information (Cont.)
The effect of a larger bypass capacitor will improve PSRR
due to increased supply stability. Typical applications em-
ploy a 5V regulator with 1.0µF and a 0.1µF bypass capaci-
tor as supply filtering. This does not eliminate the need
for bypassing the supply nodes of the APA3010/1. The
selection of bypass capacitors, especially CB, is thus de-
pendent upon desired PSRR requirements, click and pop
performance.
To avoid the start-up pop noise occurred, the bypass volt-
age should rise slower than the input bias voltage and the
relationship shown in equation (4) should be maintained.
1
CB x 125k<< 1
40k x Ci(4)
The bypass capacitor is fed thru from a 125k resistor
inside the amplifier and the 40k is maximum input re-
sistance of (Ri+ Rf). Bypass capacitor, CB, values of 3.3µF
to 10µF ceramic or tantalum low-ESR capacitors are rec-
ommended for the best THD and noise performance.
The bypass capacitance also effects to the start-up time.
It is determined in the following equation :
Tstart up = 5 x (CB x 125k)(5)
Power Supply Decoupling, CS
The APA3010/1 is a high-performance CMOS audio am-
plifier that requires adequate power supply decoupling
to ensure the output total harmonic distortion (THD) is as
low as possible. Power supply decoupling also prevents
the oscillations being caused by long lead length be-
tween the amplifier and the speaker. The optimum
decoupling is achieved by using two different types of
capacitors that target on different types of 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 0.1µF placed as close as pos-
sible to the device VDD lead works best. For filtering lower-
frequency noise signals, a large aluminum electrolytic
Optimizing Depop Circuitry
Circuitry has been included in the APA3010/1 to minimize
the amount of popping noise at power-up and when com-
ing out of shutdown mode. Popping occurs whenever a
voltage step is applied to the speaker. In order to elimi-
nate clicks and pops, all capacitors must be fully dis-
charged before turn-on. Rapid on/off switching of the de-
vice or the shutdown function will cause the click and pop
circuitry.
The value of Ci will also affect turn-on pops. (Refer to
Effective Bypass Capacitance) The bypass voltage ramp
up should be slower than input bias voltage. Although the
bypass pin current source cannot be modified, the size of
CB can be changed to alter the device turn-on time and the
amount of clicks and pops. By increasing the value of CB,
turn-on pop can be reduced. However, the tradeoff for
using a larger bypass capacitor is to increase the turn-on
time for this device. There is a linear relationship be-
tween the size of CB and the turn-on time.
A high gain amplifier intensifies the problem as the small
delta in voltage is multiplied by the gain. Therefore, it is
advantageous to use low-gain configurations.
Shutdown Function
In order to reduce power consumption while not in use,
the APA3010/1 contain a SHUTDOWN pin to externally
turn off the amplifier bias circuitry. This shutdown feature
turns the amplifier off when a logic high (APA3011 held
low) is placed on the SHUTDOWN pin. The trigger point
between a logic high and logic low level is typically 2.0V.
It is best to switch between the ground and the supply VDD
to provide maximum device performance.
By switching the SHUTDOWN pin to high, the amplifier
enters a low-current state, IDD< 0.1µA. APA3010 is in shut-
down mode. On normal operating, the SHUTDOWN pin
pulls to a low level to keep the IC out of the shutdown
mode. The SHUTDOWN pin should be tied to a definite
voltage to avoid unwanted state change.
BTL Amplifier Efficiency
An easy-to-use equation to calculate efficiency starts out
as being equal to the ratio of power from the power sup-
ply to the power delivered to the load.
Effective Bypass Capacitor, CB
As other power amplifiers, proper supply bypassing is
critical for low noise performance and high power supply
rejection.
The capacitors located on both the bypass and power
supply pins should be as close to the device as possible.
capacitor of 10µF or greater placed near the audio power
amplifier is recommended.

Table 1 calculates efficiencies for four different output
power levels.
Note that the efficiency of the amplifier is quite low for
lower power levels and rises sharply as power to the load
is increased resulting in a nearly flat internal power dissi-
pation over the normal operating range.
Note that the internal dissipation at full output power is
less than in the half power range. Calculating the effi-
ciency for a specific system is the key to proper power
supply design.
A final point to remember about linear amplifiers (either
SE or BTL) is how to manipulate the terms in the effi-
ciency equation to an utmost advantage when possible.
Note that in equation, VDD is in the denominator. This indi-
cates that as VDD goes down, efficiency goes up. In other
words, use the efficiency analysis to choose the correct
supply voltage and speaker impedance for the application.

Table 1. Efficiency Vs Output Power in 5-V/8 BTL
Systems.
Power Dissipation
In BTL mode operation, the output voltage swing is
doubled as in SE mode. Thus, the maximum power dis-
sipation point for a BTL mode operating at the same given
conditions is 4 times as in SE mode.
BTL mode : PD,MAX=(10)
4VDD2
2π2RL
Even with this substantial increase in power dissipation,
the APA3010/1 do not require extra heatsink. The power
dissipation from equation11, assuming a 5V-power sup-
ply and an 8 load, must not be greater than the power
dissipation that results from the equation11 :
PD,MAX=TJ,MAX - TA
θJA(11)
For MSOP-8P package with thermal pad, the thermal re-
sistance (θJA) is equal to 48οC/W.
Since the maximum junction temperature (TJ,MAX) of
APA3010/1 is 150οC and the ambient temperature (TA) is
defined by the power system design, the maximum power
dissipation which the IC package is able to handle can be
obtained from equation11.
Once the power dissipation is greater than the maximum
limit (PD,MAX), either the supply voltage (VDD) must be
decreased, the load impedance (RL) must be increased
or the ambient temperature should be reduced.
Thermal Pad Consideration
The thermal pad must be connected to the ground. The
package with thermal pad of the APA3010/1 requires spe-
cial attention on thermal design. If the thermal design
issues are not properly addressed, the APA3010/1 4
will go into thermal shutdown when driving a 4 load.
The thermal pad must be connected to the ground. The
package with thermal pad of the APA3010/1 requires spe-
cial attention on thermal design.
The thermal pad on the bottom of the APA3010/1 should
be soldered down to a copper pad on the circuit board.
Heat can be conducted away from the thermal pad through
the copper plane to ambient. If the copper plane is not on
the top surface of the circuit board, 8 to 12 vias of 15 mil or
smaller in diameter should be used to thermally couple
the thermal pad to the bottom plane.

The following equations are the basis for calculating
amplifier efficiency.

PO
For good thermal conduction, the vias must be plated
through and solder filled. The copper plane used to con-
duct heat away from the thermal pad should be as large
as practical.

Thermal Pad Consideration (Cont.)
Application Information (Cont.)
For good thermal conduction, the vias must be plated
through and solder filled. The copper plane used to con-
duct heat away from the thermal pad should be as large
as practical.
If the ambient temperature is higher than 25°C, a larger
copper plane or forced-air cooling will be required to keep
the APA3010/1 junction temperature below the thermal
shutdown temperature (150°C). In higher ambient
temperature, higher airflow rate and/or larger copper area
will be required to keep the IC out of thermal shutdown.
Thermal Consideration
Linear power amplifiers dissipate a significant amount of
heat in the package under normal operating conditions.
To calculate maximum ambient temperatures, refer the
Power Dissipation vs. Output Power graphs. Given
θJA, the maximum allowable junction temperature (TJMAX),
and the total internal dissipation (PD), the maximum am-
bient temperature can be calculated with the following
equation. The maximum recommended junction tem-
perature for the APA3010/1 is 150°C. The internal dissi-
pation figures are taken from the Power Dissipation vs.
Output Power graphs.
TAMax = TJMax -θJAPD (12)
150 - 50(1.3) = 85°C
The APA3010/1 is designed with a thermal shutdown pro-
tection that turns the device off when the junction tem-
perature surpasses 150°C to prevent damaging the IC.
