Preliminary Technical Data
output power. It operates with 85% efficiency at 1.4 W into 8 Ω
from a 5.0 V supply and has a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) that is
better than 93 dB. Spread-spectrum modulation is used to
provide lower EMI-radiated emissions compared with other
Class-D architectures.
FEATURES
Filterless Class-D amplifier with built-in output stage
1.4 W into 8 Ω at 5.0 V supply with less than 1% THD
85% efficiency at 5.0 V, 1.4 W into 8 Ω speaker
Better than 98 dB SNR (signal-to-noise ratio)
Single-supply operation from 2.5 V to 5.0 V
20 nA ultralow shutdown current
Short-circuit and thermal protection
Available in 8-lead, 3 mm × 3 mm LFCSP
Pop-and-click suppression
The SSM2301 has a micropower shutdown mode with a
maximum shutdown current of 30 nA. Shutdown is enabled by
applying a logic low to the
pin.

Built-in resistors reduce board component count
Fixed and user-adjustable gain configurations
The device also includes pop-and-click suppression circuitry.
This minimizes voltage glitches at the output during turn-on
and turn-off, thus reducing audible noise on activation and
deactivation.
APPLICATIONS
Mobile phones
MP3 players
Portable gaming
Portable electronics
Educational toys
The fully differential input of the SSM2301 provides excellent
rejection of common-mode noise on the input. Input coupling
capacitors can be omitted if the dc input common-mode voltage
is approximately VDD/2.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SSM2301 also has excellent rejection of power supply noise,
including noise caused by GSM transmission bursts and RF
rectification. PSRR is typically 63 dB at 217 Hz.
The SSM2301 is a fully integrated, high efficiency, Class-D audio
amplifier. It is designed to maximize performance for mobile
phone applications. The application circuit requires a minimum
of external components and operates from a single 2.5 V to 5.0 V
supply. It is capable of delivering 1.4 W of continuous output
power with less than 1% THD + N driving an 8 Ω load from a
5.0 V supply.
The gain can be set to 6 dB or 12 dB utilizing the gain control
select pin connected respectively to ground or VDD. Gain can
also be adjusted externally by using an external resistor.
The SSM2301 is specified over the comercial temperature range
(−40°C to +85°C). It has built-in thermal shutdown and output
short-circuit protection. It is available in an 8-lead, 3 mm × 3 mm
lead-frame chip scale package (LFCSP).
The SSM2301 features a high efficiency, low noise modulation
scheme that does not require any external LC output filters. The
modulation continues to provide high efficiency even at low
