ft2920
8W Boosted Class-G Audio Power Amplifier
with Automatic Level Control & Battery Tracking AGC
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
Wide range of supply voltages from 3V to 5.5V
The ft2920 is a highly efficient 8W boosted Class-G
audio power amplifier with automatic level control (ALC)
and battery tracking AGC. It integrates a filterless
Class-D audio amplifier with an adaptive multi-level
Class-G boost regulator and operates with a range of
supply voltages from 3V to 5.5V. When a supply
voltage at 3.6V, the ft2920 can deliver an output power
of 8W with 10% THD+N, or an ALC output power of 6W
with 0.4% THD+N, into a 4Ω speaker load.
Filterless Class-D audio amplifier integrated with an
adaptive multi-level Class-G boost regulator
Automatic level control to eliminate output clipping
Battery tracking AGC to prevent battery collapse
Soft drive mode for EMI reduction
Three boosted voltage settings: 8.0V/7.4V/6.8V
Maximum output power in Non-ALC mode
(VBAT=3.6V, 4Ω load, ALC=High, THD+N=10%)
In ft2920, the power supply rail of the audio amplifier’s
output stage is internally boosted and regulated by an
asynchronous PWM switching regulator with an
integrated power switch. The boost regulator employs
current-mode PWM control with proprietary multi-level
operation to regulate the boosted supply voltage in
response to the voltage level of the audio output. To
facilitate various output power applications, three
boosted supply voltage settings are available. The
adaptive nature of the multi-level Class-G boost
regulator improves overall efficiency.

The ft2920 features ALC function to constantly monitor
and safeguards the audio output against the boosted
supply voltage of the audio amplifier’s output stage,
preventing output clipping distortion, excessive power
dissipation, and speaker over-load. Once an over-level
condition is detected, the ALC lowers the voltage gain
of the audio amplifier proportionally to limit the peak
audio output.
Auto-recovering over-current & short-circuit
protection
Available in TSSOP-24L package
APPLICATIONS
Blue Tooth Speakers
In conjunction with ALC, as the battery supply voltage
drops, the battery tracking AGC lowers the voltage gain
of the audio amplifier to limit the peak audio output,
preventing the collapse of battery voltage.
