description
The TPA0232 is a stereo audio power amplifier in a 24-pin TSSOP thermally enhanced package capable of
delivering 2 W of continuous RMS power per channel into 3-Ω loads. This device minimizes the number of
external components needed, which simplifies the design and frees up board space for other features. When
driving 1 W into 8-Ω speakers, the TPA0232 has less than 0.4% THD+N across its specified frequency range.
Included within this device is integrated depop circuitry that virtually eliminates transients that cause noise in
the speakers.
Amplifier gain is controlled by means of a dc voltage input on the VOLUME terminal. There are 31 discrete steps
covering the range of +20 dB (maximum volume setting) to –40 dB (minimum volume setting) in 2 dB steps.
When the VOLUME terminal exceeds 3.54 V, the device is muted. An internal input MUX allows two sets of
stereo inputs to the amplifier. The HP/LINE terminal allows the user to select which MUX input is active
regardless of whether the amplifier is in SE or BTL mode. In notebook applications, where internal speakers
are driven as BTL and the line outputs (often headphone drive) are required to be SE, the TPA0232
automatically switches into SE mode when the SE/BTL input is activated, and this effectively reduces the gain
by 6 dB.
The TPA0232 consumes only 10 mA of supply current during normal operation. A miserly shutdown mode
reduces the supply current to less than 150 µA.
The PowerPAD package (PWP) delivers a level of thermal performance that was previously achievable only
in TO-220-type packages. Thermal impedances of approximately 35°C/W are readily realized in multilayer PCB
applications. This allows the TPA0232 to operate at full power into 8-Ω loads at ambient temperatures of 85°C.
