Pop-and-click suppression
Spread spectrum pulse density modulation (PDM) is used to
provide lower EMI radiated emissions compared with other
Class-D architectures. The SSM3302 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. The SSM3302 can pass
FCC Class-B emissions testing with an unshielded 20 inch cable
using common-mode choke-based filtering.
The fully differential input of the SSM3302 provides excellent
rejection of common-mode noise on the input. The device also
includes a highly flexible gain select pin that only requires one
series resistor to choose a gain between 9 dB and 24 dB, with no
change to the input impedance. The benefit of this is to improve
gain matching between multiple SSM3302 devices within a single
application compared with using external resistors to set gain.
User-selectable ultralow EMI emissions mode
Thermal warning indicator
Power-on reset
APPLICATIONS
The SSM3302 includes an integrated voltage regulator that
generates a 5 V rail.
Mobile computing
Flat panel televisions
Media docking stations
Portable electronics
Sound bars
The SSM3302 has a micropower shutdown mode with a typical
shutdown current of 10 µA. Shutdown is enabled by applying a
SD
logic low to the
pin. The device also includes pop-and-click
suppression circuitry that minimizes voltage glitches at the output
during turn on and turn off, reducing audible noise during
activation and deactivation.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SSM3302 is a fully integrated, high efficiency, stereo Class-D
audio amplifier. The application circuit requires minimal external
components and operates from a single 7 V to 18 V supply. The
device is capable of delivering 2 × 10 W of continuous output
power into a 4 Ω load (or 2 × 8 W into 8 Ω) with <1% THD + N
from a 12 V supply. In addition, while mono mode is activated,
the user can drive a load as small as 2 Ω up to 20 W continuous
output power by stacking the stereo output terminals.
Other included features to simplify system level integration of
the SSM3302 are input low-pass filtering to suppress out-of-
band DAC noise interference to the pulse density modulator,
fixed input impedance to simplify component selection across
multiple platform production builds, and a thermal warning
indicator pin.
The SSM3302 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 halide-free,
40-lead, 6 mm × 6 mm lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP).
The SSM3302 features a high efficiency, low noise modulation
scheme that requires no external LC output filters. This scheme
continues to provide high efficiency even at low output power.
The SSM3302 operates with 90% efficiency at 7 W into an 8 Ω
