The output signal of the amplifier is a PWM signal with a
carrier frequency of approximately 350 kHz. Using a
2nd-order LC demodulation filter in the application results
in an analog audio signal across the loudspeaker.
This switching frequency is fixed by an external resistor
R
resistor value given in the schematic diagram of the
reference design, the carrier frequency is typical 350 kHz.
The carrier frequency can be calculated using the
following equation:
If two or more class-D amplifiers are used in the same
audio application, it is advisable to have all devices
operating at the same switching frequency.
This can be realized by connecting all OSC pins together
and feed them from a external central oscillator. Using an
external oscillator it is necessary to force pin OSC to a
DC-level above SGND for switching from the internal to an
external oscillator. In this case the internal oscillator is
disabled and the PWM will be switched on the external
frequency. The frequency range of the external oscillator
must be in the range as specified in the switching
characteristics; see Chapter 13.

Temperature, supply voltage and short-circuit protections
sensors are included on the chip. In the event that the
maximum current or maximum temperature is exceeded
the system will shut down.

If the junction temperature T
stage will shut down immediately. The power stage will
start switching again if the temperature drops to
approximately 130 C, thus there is a hysteresis of
approximately 20 C.

8.3.2
When the loudspeaker terminals are short-circuited or if
one of the demodulated outputs of the amplifier is
short-circuited to one of the supply lines, this will be
detected by the current protection. If the output current
exceeds the maximum output current of 4 A, then the
power stage will shut down within less than 1 s and the
high current will be switched off. In this state the
dissipation is very low. Every 100 ms the system tries to
restart again. If there is still a short-circuit across the
loudspeaker load or to one of the supply lines, the system
is switched off again as soon as the maximum current is
exceeded. The average dissipation will be low because of
this low duty cycle.
8.3.3
During the start-up sequence, when pin MODE is switched
from standby to mute, the conditions at the output
terminals of the power stage are checked. In the event of
a short-circuit at one of the output terminals to V
the start-up procedure is interrupted and the systems waits
for open-circuit outputs. Because the test is done before
enabling the power stages, no large currents will flow in the
event of a short-circuit. This system protects for
short-circuits at both sides of the output filter to both supply
lines. When there is a short-circuit from the power PWM
output of the power stage to one of the supply lines (before
the demodulation filter) it will also be detected by the
start-up safety test. Practical use of this test feature can be
found in detection of short-circuits on the printed-circuit
board.
Remark: This test is only operational prior to or during the
start-up sequence, and not during normal operation.
During normal operation the maximum current protection
is used to detect short-circuits across the load and with
respect to the supply lines.
