8. Functional description  
8.1 General  
The TDA8950 is a two-channel audio power amplifier using class-D technology.  
The audio input signal is converted into a digital pulse width modulated signal via an  
analog input stage and PWM modulator, see Figure 1. 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. In this way a level shift is  
performed from the low power digital PWM signal (at logic levels) to a high power PWM  
signal that switches between the main supply lines.  
A 2nd-order low-pass filter converts the PWM signal to an analog audio signal across the  
loudspeakers.

TDA8950  
NXP Semiconductors  
2 × 150 W class-D power amplifier  
The TDA8950 one-chip class-D amplifier contains high power switches, drivers, timing  
and handshaking between the power switches and some control logic. Also an advanced  
protection strategy is implemented which contains several voltage protections,  
temperature protections and a maximum current protection to secure maximum system  
robustness.  
The two audio channels of the TDA8950 each contain a PWM modulator, an analog  
feedback loop and a differential input stage. It also contains circuits common to both  
channels such as the oscillator, all reference sources, the mode interface and a digital  
timing manager.  
The TDA8950 contains two independent amplifier channels with high output power, high  
efficiency, low distortion and low quiescent current. The amplifier channels can be  
connected in the following configurations:  
Mono Bridge-Tied Load (BTL) amplifier  
Stereo Single-Ended (SE) amplifiers  
The amplifier system can be switched to one of three operating modes by pin MODE:  
Standby mode; with a very low supply current  
Mute mode; the amplifiers are operational, but the audio signal at the output is  
suppressed by disabling the VI-converter input stages  
Operating mode; the amplifiers are fully operational  
To ensure pop noise-free start-up, the DC output offset voltage is applied gradually to the  
output at a level between Mute mode and Operating mode levels. The bias current setting  
of the VI converters is related to the voltage on pin MODE; in Mute mode the bias current  
setting of the VI converters is zero (VI converters disabled) and in Operating mode the  
bias current is at maximum. The time constant required to apply the DC output offset  
voltage gradually between Mute and Operating mode levels can be generated via an  
RC-network on pin MODE. An example of a switching circuit for driving pin MODE is  
illustrated in Figure 4. If the capacitor C 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 loudspeaker  
used).

In order to fully charge the coupling capacitors at the inputs, the amplifier will remain  
automatically in the Mute mode before switching to the Operating mode. A complete

Upper diagram: When switching from standby to mute, there is a delay of approximately 100 ms  
before the output starts switching. The audio signal is available after VMODE has been set to  
operating, but not earlier than 150 ms after switching to mute. For pop noise-free start-up it is  
recommended that the time constant applied to pin MODE is at least 350 ms for the transition  
between mute and operating.  
Lower diagram: When switching directly from standby to operating, there is a first delay of 100 ms  
before the outputs starts switching. The audio signal is available after a second delay of 50 ms. For  
pop noise-free start-up it is recommended that the time constant applied to pin MODE is at least  
500 ms for the transition between standby and operating.

8.2 Pulse width modulation frequency  
The output signal of the amplifier is a PWM signal with a carrier frequency that typically  
lies between 300 kHz and 400 kHz. Using a 2nd-order LC demodulation filter in the  
application results in an analog audio signal across the loudspeaker. The carrier  
frequency is determined by an external resistor ROSC, connected between pin OSC and  
pin VSSA. An optimal setting for the carrier frequency is between 300 kHz and 400 kHz.  
Using an external resistor of 30 kon pin OSC, the carrier frequency is set to 345 kHz.  
For more details see Table 8.  
If two or more class-D amplifiers are used in the same audio application, it is  
recommended that all devices operate at the same switching frequency by using an  
external clock circuit.  
Due to an internal clock divider:  
The external applied clock frequency must have the double frequency of the output  
PWM frequency.  
The duty cycle of the external clock is not critical for product performance.  
8.3 Protections  
The following protections are included in TDA8950:  
Thermal protections:  
Thermal FoldBack (TFB)  
OverTemperature Protection (OTP)  
OverCurrent Protection (OCP, diagnostic via pin PROT)  
Window Protection (WP)  
Supply voltage protections:  
UnderVoltage Protection (UVP)  
OverVoltage Protection (OVP)  
UnBalance Protection (UBP)  
The reaction of the device to the different fault conditions differs per protection.  
8.3.1 Thermal protection  
In the TDA8950 an advanced thermal protection strategy is implemented. It consists of a  
TFB function that gradually reduces the out put power within a certain temperature range.  
When temperature is still rising an OTP is implemented which shuts down the device  
completely.  
8.3.1.1 Thermal FoldBack (TFB)  
If the junction temperature Tj exceeds a defined threshold value, the gain is gradually  
reduced. This will result in a smaller output signal and less dissipation. Eventually the  
temperature will stabilize.

TDA8950  
NXP Semiconductors  
2 × 150 W class-D power amplifier  
TFB is specified at the temperature value Tact(th_fold) where the closed loop voltage gain is  
reduced with 6 dB. The range of the TFB is:  
Tact(th_fold) 5 °C < Tact(th_fold) < Tact(th_prot)  
.
For the TDA8950 the value of Tact(th_fold) is about +153 °C. For more details see: Table 7.  
8.3.1.2 OverTemperature Protection (OTP)  
If, despite the TFB function, the junction temperature Tj of the TDA8950 continues rising  
and exceeds the threshold Tact(th_prot) the amplifier will shutdown immediately. The  
amplifier resumes switching approximately 100 ms after the temperature drops below  
Tact(th_prot)  
.
In Figure 6 the thermal behavior is visualized.

8.3.2 OverCurrent Protection (OCP)  
If a short-circuit is applied to one of the demodulated outputs of the amplifier, the OCP will  
detect this. If the output current exceeds the maximum of 9.2 A, it is automatically limited  
to its maximum value by the OCP protection circuit. The amplifier outputs remain  
switching (the amplifier is NOT shut-down completely). If the active current limiting  
continues longer than time τ, the TDA8950 shuts down. Activation of current limiting and  
the triggering of the OCP are observed at pin PROT.  
The amplifier can distinguish between an impedance drop of the loudspeaker and a  
low-ohmic short-circuit across the load. In the TDA8950 the impedance threshold (Zth)  
depends on the supply voltage used.  
When a short-circuit is made across the load, causing the impedance to drop below the  
threshold level (<Zth), the amplifier is switched off completely and, after a time of 100 ms,  
it will try to restart. If the short-circuit condition is still present after this time, the cycle will  
be repeated. The average dissipation will be low because of this low duty cycle.

TDA8950  
NXP Semiconductors  
2 × 150 W class-D power amplifier  
Should there be an impedance drop (e.g. due to dynamic behavior of the loudspeaker) the  
same protection will be activated. The maximum output current will again be limited to  
9.2 A, but the amplifier will not switch-off completely (thus preventing audio holes from  
occurring).  
The result will be a clipping output signal.  
See Section 13.7 for more information on this maximum output current limiting feature.  
8.3.3 Window Protection (WP)  
The WP checks the conditions at the output terminals of the power stage and is activated:  
During the start-up sequence, when pin MODE is switched from standby to mute. In  
the event of a short-circuit at one of the output terminals to pin VDDPn or pin VSSPn  
the start-up procedure is interrupted and the TDA8950 waits until the short-circuit to  
the supply lines has been removed. Because the test is done before enabling the  
power stages, no large currents will flow in an event of short-circuit.  
When the amplifier is completely shut-down due to activation of the OCP because a  
short-circuit to one of the supply lines is made, then during restart (after 100 ms) the  
WP will be activated. As a result the amplifier will not start-up until the short-circuit to  
the supply lines is removed.  
8.3.4 Supply voltage protections  
If the supply voltage drops below minimum supply voltage, the UVP circuit is activated and  
the system will shutdown correctly. If the internal clock is used, this switch-off will be silent  
and without pop noise. When the supply voltage rises above the threshold level, the  
system is restarted again after 100 ms.  
If the supply voltage exceeds maximum supply voltage, the OVP circuit is activated and  
the power stages will shutdown. When the supply voltage drops below the threshold level,  
the system is restarted again after 100 ms.  
An additional UBP circuit compares the positive analog (voltage on pin VDDA) and the  
negative analog (voltage on pin VSSA) supply voltage and is triggered if the voltage  
difference exceeds a factor of two.  
When the supply voltage difference drops below the threshold level, the system is  
restarted again after 100 ms.  
Example: With a symmetrical supply of ±30 V, the protection circuit will be triggered if the  
unbalance exceeds approximately 15 V. See Section 13.7.  
In Table 4 an overview is given of all protections and their respective effects on the output  
signal.

[1] Amplifier gain will depend on junction temperature and heatsink size.  
[2] Only complete shutdown of amplifier if short-circuit impedance is below threshold of 1 . In all other cases

[3] Fault condition detected during (every) transition between standby-to-mute and during restart after  
activation of OCP (short-circuit to one of the supply lines).  
8.4 Differential audio inputs  
For a high common mode rejection ratio and a maximum of flexibility in the application, the  
audio inputs are fully differential.  
There are two possibilities:  
For stereo operation it is advised to use the inputs in anti phase and also to connect  
the speakers in anti phase (to avoid acoustical phase differences). This construction  
has several advantages:  
The peak current in the power supply is minimized  
The supply pumping effect is minimized, especially at low audio frequencies  
For mono BTL operation it is required that the inputs are connected in anti parallel.  
The output of one of the channels is inverted and the speaker load is now connected  
between the two outputs of the TDA8950. In principle the output power to the speaker  
can be significantly boosted to two times the output power in single ended stereo.  
The input configuration for a mono BTL application is illustrated in Figure 7.

2 × 150 W class-D power amplifier  
13. Application information  
13.1 Mono BTL application  
When using the power amplifier in a mono BTL application the inputs of both channels  
must be connected in parallel and the phase of one of the inputs must be inverted (see  
Figure 7). In principle the loudspeaker can be connected between the outputs of the two  
single-ended demodulation filters.  
13.2 Pin MODE  
For pop noise-free start-up, an RC time-constant must be applied on pin MODE. The  
bias-current setting of the VI-converter input is directly related to the voltage on pin  
MODE. In turn the bias-current setting of the VI converters is directly related to the DC  
output offset voltage. Thus a slow dV/dt on pin MODE results in a slow dV/dt for the  
DC output offset voltage, resulting in pop noise-free start-up. A time-constant of 500 ms is  
sufficient to guarantee pop noise-free start-up (see also Figure 4, 5 and 8).

coil inductance and voltage drop over the coil.  
13.4 External clock  
For duty cycle independent operation of the device, the external clock input frequency is  
internally divided by two. This implies that the frequency of the external clock is as twice  
as high as the internal clock (typical 2 × 345 kHz = 690 kHz).  
If two or more class-D amplifiers are used it is recommended that all devices run at the  
same switching frequency. This can be realized by connecting all OCS pins together and  
feeding them from an external oscillator. When applying an external oscillator, it is  
necessary to force pin OSC to a DC level above SGND. The internal oscillator is disabled  
and the PWM modulator will switch with half the externally applied frequency.  
The internal oscillator requires an external resistor Rext(OSC) and capacitor COSC between  
pin OSC and PIN VSSA.  
The noise contribution of the internal oscillator is supply voltage dependent. An external  
low noise oscillator is recommended for low noise applications running at high supply  
voltage.

13.5 Noise  
2 × 150 W class-D power amplifier  
Noise should be measured using a high order low-pass filter with a cut-off frequency of  
20 kHz. The standard audio band pass filters, used in audio analyzers, do not suppress  
the residue of the carrier frequency sufficiently to ensure a reliable measurement of the  
audible noise. Noise measurements should preferably be carried out using AES 17  
(‘brickwall’) filters or an audio precision AUX 0025 filter, which was designed specifically  
for measuring class-D switching amplifiers.  
13.6 Heatsink requirements  
In many applications it may be necessary to connect an external heatsink to the  
TDA8950.

activation of the TFB, and the total thermal resistance from junction to ambient

TDA8950  
NXP Semiconductors  
2 × 150 W class-D power amplifier  
The audio signal has a crest factor of 10 (the ratio between peak power and average  
power (20 dB)), this means that the average output power is 110 of the peak power.  
In this case, the peak RMS output power level would be the 0.5 % THD level, i.e. 220 W.  
The average power would then be 110 × 220 W = 22 W.  
The dissipated power at an output power of 22 W is approximately 5 W.  
When the maximum expected ambient temperature is 85 °C, the total Rth(j-a) would then  
(140 85)  
become  
= 11 K/W  
-------------------------  
5
Rth(j-a) = Rth(j-c) + Rth(c-h) + Rth(h-a)  
Rth(j-c) = 1.1 K/W  
Rth(c-h) = 0.5 K/W to 1 K/W (dependent on mounting)  
So the thermal resistance between heatsink and ambient temperature is:  
Rth(h-a) = 11 (1.1 + 1) = 8.9 K/W  
The de-rating curves (given for several values of Rth(j-a)) are illustrated in Figure 9. A  
maximum junction temperature Tj = 150 °C is taken into account. From Figure 9 the  
maximum allowable power dissipation for a given heatsink size can be derived or the  
required heatsink size can be determined at a required dissipation level.  
13.7 Output current limiting  
To guarantee the robustness of the TDA8950, the maximum output current that can be  
delivered by the output stage is limited. An advanced OverCurrent Protection (OCP) is  
included for each output power switch.  
When the current flowing through any of the power switches exceeds the defined internal  
threshold current of 9.2 A (e.g. in case of a short-circuit to the supply lines or a  
short-circuit across the load), the maximum output current of the amplifier will be  
regulated to 9.2 A.  
The TDA8950 amplifier can distinguish between a low-ohmic short-circuit condition and  
other over current conditions like dynamic impedance drops of the loudspeakers used.  
The impedance threshold (Zth) depends on the supply voltage used.  
Depending on the impedance of the short-circuit, the amplifier will react as follows:  
Short-circuit impedance > Zth: The maximum output current of the amplifier is  
regulated to 9.2 A, but the amplifier will not shut-down its PWM outputs. Effectively  
this results in a clipping output signal across the load (behavior is very similar to  
voltage clipping).  
Short-circuit impedance < Zth: The amplifier will limit the maximum output current to  
9.2 A and at the same time the capacitor on pin PROT is discharged. When the  
voltage across this capacitor drops below an internal threshold voltage, the amplifier  
will shutdown completely and an internal timer will be started.  
A typical value for the capacitor on pin PROT is 220 pF. After a fixed time of 100 ms the  
amplifier is switched on again. If the requested output current is still too high, the amplifier  
will switch-off again. Thus the amplifier will try to switch to the Operating mode every

NXP Semiconductors  
2 × 150 W class-D power amplifier  
100 ms. The average dissipation will be low in this situation because of this low duty cycle.  
If the over current condition is removed the amplifier will remain in Operating mode after  
being restarted. In this way the TDA8950 amplifier is fully protected against short-circuit  
conditions while at the same time so-called audio holes, as a result of loudspeaker  
impedance drops, are eliminated.  
13.8 Pumping effects  
In a typical stereo half-bridge SE application the TDA8950 is supplied by a symmetrical  
voltage (e.g. VDD = +35 V and VSS = 35 V). When the amplifier is used in an SE  
configuration, a ‘pumping effect’ can occur. During one switching interval, energy is taken  
from one supply (e.g. VDD), while a part of that energy is returned to the other supply line  
(e.g. VSS) and vice versa. When the voltage supply source cannot sink energy, the voltage  
across the output capacitors of that voltage supply source will increase and the supply  
voltage is pumped to higher levels. The voltage increase caused by the pumping effect  
depends on:  
Speaker impedance  
Supply voltage  
Audio signal frequency  
Value of decoupling capacitors on supply lines  
Source and sink currents of other channels  
When applying the TDA8950, measures must be taken within the application to minimize  
the pumping effect and prevent malfunctions of either the audio amplifier and/or the  
voltage supply source. Amplifier malfunction due to the pumping effect can cause  
triggering of the UVP, OVP or UBP.  
The best remedy against pumping effects is to use the TDA8950 in a mono full-bridge  
application or, in the case of stereo half-bridge applications, adapt the power supply (e.g.  
increase supply decoupling capacitors).  
13.9 Application schematics  
Notes for the application schematic:  
A solid ground plane connected to VSS around the switching amplifier is necessary to  
prevent emission.  
100 nF capacitors must be placed as close as possible to the power supply pins of the  
TDA8950.  
The internal heat spreader of the TDA8950 is internally connected to VSS  
.
The external heatsink must be connected to the ground plane.  
Use a thermally conductive, electrically non-conductive, Sil-Pad between the backside  
of the TDA8950 and a small external heatsink.  
The differential inputs enable the best system level audio performance with  
unbalanced signal sources. In case of hum, due to floating inputs, connect the  
shielding or source ground to the amplifier ground. Jumpers J1 and J2 are open on  
set level and are closed on the stand-alone demo board.  
Minimum total required capacitance per power supply line is 3300 µF.

13.10 Layout and grounding  
To obtain a high-level system performance, certain grounding techniques are essential.  
The input reference grounds have to be tied with their respective source grounds and  
must have separate tracks from the power ground tracks. This will prevent the large  
(output) signal currents from interfering with the small AC input signals. The small-signal  
ground tracks should be physically located as far as possible from the power ground  
tracks. Supply and output tracks should be as wide as possible for delivering maximum  
output power.

15. Soldering of SMD packages  
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account  
of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 “Surface mount reflow  
soldering description”.  
15.1 Introduction to soldering  
Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to  
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both  
the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is  
ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and  
Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not  
suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high  
densities that come with increased miniaturization.  
15.2 Wave and reflow soldering  
Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from  
a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:  
Through-hole components  
Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board  
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless  
packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also,  
leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered,  
due to an increased probability of bridging.  
The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by  
component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages,  
packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable.  
Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:  
Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias  
Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation  
The moisture sensitivity level of the packages  
Package placement  
Inspection and repair  
Lead-free soldering versus SnPb soldering  
15.3 Wave soldering  
Key characteristics in wave soldering are:  
Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board  
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are  
exposed to the wave  
Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities

15.4 Reflow soldering  
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:  
Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to  
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 31) than a SnPb process, thus  
reducing the process window  
Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process  
window for a mix of large and small components on one board  
Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is  
heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak  
temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste  
characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the  
packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package  
depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with  
Table 11 and 12

Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all  
times.  
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow  
soldering, see Figure 31.
