ft2045
3W Class-D Audio Power Amplifier
with Automatic Level Control
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The ft2045 is a high efficiency, filterless Class-D
audio power amplifier with automatic level control
(ALC). It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V supply.
When powered with 5V supply voltage, the ft2045
is capable of delivering 3W into a 4Ω load or 1.7W
into an 8Ω load, with 10% THD+D. Other than a
simple one-wire pulse control to set the operating
mode and the ALC function, the ft2045 is pin and
functionality compatible with traditional Class-D
audio amplifiers. Note that, unlike traditional
Class-D audio amplifiers, no external bypass
capacitor for the common-mode bias of audio
inputs is required for ft2045, thus minimizing the
number of the external components (3 capacitors
only) needed for high-quality audio applications.
Filterless Class-D operation
Automatic level control to eliminate output
clipping
No bypass capacitor required for the
common-mode bias of audio inputs
High efficiency up to 90%
Output power at 5V supply (ALC Off, ft2045M)
3.0W (4Ω load, 10% THD+N)
1.7W (8Ω load, 10% THD+N)
2.4W (4Ω load, 1% THD+N)
1.4W (8Ω load, 1% THD+N)
Low THD+N: 0.04%
(VDD=3.6V, f=1kHz, RL=8Ω, PO=0.5W)
Low quiescent current: 2.4mA @ VDD=3.6V
Low shutdown current < 0.1µA
The ft2045 features ALC on the output signals,
which detects the output clipping caused by the
over-level input signal and automatically adjusts
the voltage gain of the amplifier to eliminate the
clipping while maintaining a maximally-allowed
dynamic range of the audio output signals. The
ALC also eliminates the output clipping due to low
battery supply voltage.
High PSRR: 70dB @ 217Hz
One-wire pulse control to configure operating
mode & gain
Two fixed gain settings: 18/24dB
Maximum ALC attenuation: 10dB
Short-circuit & thermal protection
Fast startup time: 5ms
As a Class-D power amplifier, the ft2045 features
high efficiency (up to 90%) and high PSRR (70dB
at 217Hz), which make the device ideal for use in
portable electronic devices. It also features
minimized click-and-pop noise during turn-on and
turn-off transitions.
