6. Functional description
6.1 Introduction
The TDF8591TH is a dual channel audio power amplifier using class-D technology. The
audio input signal is converted into a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal via an analog
input stage and PWM modulator. To enable the output power transistors to be driven, this
digital PWM signal is applied to a control and handshake block and driver circuits for both
the high-side and low-side. An external 2nd-order low-pass filter converts the PWM output
signal to an analog audio signal across the loudspeakers.

class-D amplifier
The TDF8591TH contains two independent amplifier channels with a differential input
stage, high output power, high efficiency (90 %), low distortion and a low quiescent
current. The amplifier channels can be connected in the following configurations:
•
Mono Bridge-Tied Load (BTL) amplifier
•
Dual Single-Ended (SE) amplifiers
The TDF8591TH also contains circuits common to both channels such as the oscillator, all
reference sources, the mode functionality and a digital timing manager. For protection a
thermal foldback, temperature, current and voltage protection are built in.
6.2 Mode selection
The TDF8591TH can be switched in three operating modes via pin MODE:
•
Standby mode; the amplifiers are switched off to achieve a very low supply current
•
Mute mode; the amplifiers are switching idle (50 % duty cycle), but the audio signal at
the output is suppressed by disabling the VI-converter input stages
•
Operating mode; the amplifiers are fully operational with output signal
The input stage (see
Figure 1)
contributes to the DC offset measured at the amplifier
output. To avoid pop noise the DC output offset voltage should be increased gradually at a
mode transition from mute to operating, or vice versa, by limiting the dV
MODE
/dt on pin
MODE, resulting in a small dV
O(offset)
/dt for the DC output offset voltage. The required time
constant for a gradually increase of the DC output offset voltage between mute and
operating is generated via an RC network on pin MODE. An example of a switching circuit
for driving pin MODE is illustrated in
Figure 3
and explained in
Table 3.

The value of the RC time constant should be dimensioned for 500 ms. If the 100
µF
capacitor is left out of the application the voltage on pin MODE will be applied with a much
smaller time constant, which might result in audible pop noises during start-up (depending
on DC output offset voltage and used loudspeaker).
In order to fully charge the coupling capacitors at the inputs, the amplifier will remain
automatically in Mute mode for approximately 150 ms before switching to Operating
mode. A complete overview of the start-up timing is given in
Figure 4.

6.3 Pulse width modulation frequency
The output signal of the amplifier is a PWM signal with a switching frequency that is set by
an external resistor R
ext(OSC)
connected between pins OSC and V
SSA
. An optimum setting
for the carrier frequency is between 300 kHz and 350 kHz. An external resistor R
ext(OSC)
of
30 kΩ sets the frequency to 310 kHz.
