About the TS2007FC
The TS2007FC is an audio power class D amplifier that can drive up to 1.4 W into an 8
Ω
load at 5 V. It achieves better efficiency compared to a typical class AB audio power
amplifier.
This device allows switching between two different gains: 6 or 12 dB via a logic signal on the
GS pin. Pop and click reduction circuitry provides low on/off switch noise while allowing the
device to start within 1 ms. A standby function (active low) reduces the current consumption
to 1
μA
typical. The TS2007FC also integrates an output short-circuit protection mechanism
and thermal shutdown protection to avoid damage to the amplifier.

Description of the evaluation board
The TS2007FC demonstration board is designed for the TS2007FC class D audio
differential amplifier. The TS2007FC device, in a flip-chip package, is mounted on a two-
layer PCB. Easily-accessible connectors on the board allow changing or driving the gain
select and standby control pins, as well as changing the input configuration of the
TS2007FC.
The TS2007FC’s gain can be set to either 6 or 12 dB via the P1 connector (see
Table 1).
The
input configuration
is either capacitor-coupled or common-mode feedback. On the
evaluation board, the JP3 and JP4 connectors allow you to change the input configuration.
In the
capacitor-coupled configuration,
the -3 dB cut-off frequency in Hz is:
