ZHCSHB1B January 2018 – August 2018 TPA3220
PRODUCTION DATA.
TPA3220 has a built in optional LDO (Low dropout voltage regulator) to supply the analog and digital circuits as well as the gate drive for the output stages. The LDO can be used in systems where only the high voltage power rail is available, hence no additional power supply rails need to be generated for the TPA3220 to operate. As being a linear regulator, the LDO will add to the power losses of the device due to the (PVDD-5V) voltage drop and the supply current for AVDD and GVDD given in the Electrical Characteristics table.
When using the internal LDO in TPA3220 the VDD terminal should be connected to a voltage source between 7V and PVDD. In a single supply system the VDD terminal should be connected directly to the PVDD terminal. The LDO output is connected to the AVDD terminal, and can be used to supply the gate drive by supplying the GVDD from AVDD through a RC filter for best noise performance as shown in Figure 28.
For highest system power efficiency the LDO can be bypassed by connecting VDD to an external 5 V supply. In this configuration AVDD and GVDD should be supplied by 5 V from the external power supply. GVDD should be supplied through a RC filter for best noise performance as shown in Figure 29.
