2 × 2W Filterless Class-D
Stereo Audio Amplifier
SSM2356
The SSM2356 features a high efficiency, low noise modulation
scheme that requires no external LC output filters. The modulation
continues to provide high efficiency even at low output power.
It operates with 92% efficiency at 1.4 W into 8 Ω or 85% efficiency
at 2.0 W into 4 Ω from a 5.0 V supply and has an SNR of >103 dB.
FEATURES
Filterless stereo Class-D amplifier with Σ-Δ modulation
No sync necessary when using multiple Class-D amplifiers
from Analog Devices, Inc.
2 × 2W into 4 Ω load and 2x1.4 W into 8 Ω load at 5.0 V
supply with <1% total harmonic distortion (THD + N)
92% efficiency at 5.0 V, 1.4 W into 8 Ω speaker
>103 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
Single-supply operation from 2.5 V to 5.5 V
20 nA shutdown current; left/right channel control
Short-circuit and thermal protection
Spread-spectrum pulse density modulation is used to provide
lower EMI-radiated emissions compared with other Class-D
architectures. The SSM2356 includes an optional modulation
select pin (ultralow EMI emission mode) that significantly
reduces the radiated emissions at the Class-D outputs, particularly
above 100 MHz.
Available in a 16-ball, 1.66 mm × 1.66 mm WLCSP
Pop-and-click suppression
Built-in resistors that reduce board component count
User-selectable 6 dB or 18 dB gain setting
User-selectable ultralow EMI emission mode
The SSM2356 has a micropower shutdown mode with a typical
shutdown current of 20 nA. Shutdown is enabled by applying
a logic low to the
and
pins. The device also
SDNR
SDNL
includes pop-and-click suppression circuitry that minimizes
voltage glitches at the output during turn-on and turn-off,
reducing audible noise on activation and deactivation.
APPLICATIONS
Mobile phones
MP3 players
Portable gaming
Portable electronics
The fully differential input of the SSM2356 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. The preset gain of SSM2356 can be
selected between 6 dB and 18 dB with no external components
and no change to the input impedance. Gain can be further
reduced to a user-defined setting by inserting series external
resistors at the inputs.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SSM2356 is a fully integrated, high efficiency, stereo 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 5.5 V supply. It is capable of delivering 2 × 2W of contin-
uous output power with <1% THD + N driving a 4 Ω load from a
5.0 V supply.
The SSM2356 is specified over the commercial temperature range
(−40°C to +85°C). It has built-in thermal shutdown and output
short-circuit protection. It is available in a 16-ball, 1.66 mm ×
1.66 mm wafer level chip scale package (WLCSP).
