8. Functional description
8.1 Input configuration
The input cut-off frequency is:
f i(–3dB) = 2----π---(---R---1-i---×----C-----i-)-
(1)
Single-ended application: Ri = 60 kΩ and Ci = 220 nF:
f i(–3dB) = 2----π---(---6---0----×-----1---0---3---1-×-----2---2---0----×-----1---0---–---9--)- = 12 Hz
(2)
As shown in Equation 2, large capacitor values for the inputs are not necessary; therefore
switch-on delay during charging of the input capacitors can be minimized. This results in a
good low frequency response and good switch-on behavior.
The TFA9842AJ has clamps on the inputs. In Standby mode the voltage on the input pins
is clamped for voltages lower than −0.1 V. When the TFA9842AJ is in Mute, Volume
control or Operating mode (maximum gain) the input clamp voltage is 1 V (RMS).
8.2 Power amplifier
The power amplifier is a single-ended amplifier with an all NPN output stage, capable of
delivering a peak output current of 3 A.
8.2.1 Output power measurement
The output power as a function of the supply voltage is measured on the output pins at
THD = 10 %; see Figure 7. The maximum output power is limited by the supply voltage of
26 V and the maximum available output current is 3 A repetitive peak current. A minimum
load of 3 Ω is required for supply voltages > 22 V; see Figure 4. The output power is
measured with one channel driven.
