8. Functional description
8.1 General
The TDA8922B is a two channel audio power amplifier using class-D technology.
The audio input signal is converted into a digital 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. In this way a level shift is performed from the
low power digital PWM signal (at logic levels) to a high power PWM signal which switches
between the main supply lines.
A 2nd-order low-pass filter converts the PWM signal to an analog audio signal across the
loudspeakers.
The TDA8922B one-chip class-D amplifier contains high power D-MOS switches, drivers,
timing and handshaking between the power switches and some control logic. For
protection a temperature sensor and a maximum current detector are built-in.
The two audio channels of the TDA8922B contain two PWMs, two analog feedback loops
and two differential input stages. It also contains circuits common to both channels such
as the oscillator, all reference sources, the mode functionality and a digital timing
manager.
The TDA8922B contains two independent amplifier channels with high output power, high
efficiency, low distortion and a low quiescent current. The amplifier channels can be
connected in the following configurations:
• Mono Bridge-Tied Load (BTL) amplifier
• Stereo Single-Ended (SE) amplifiers.

TDA8922B
2 · 50 W class-D power amplifier
The amplifier system can be switched in three operating modes with 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 fully are operational with output signal.
To ensure pop-noise free start-up the DC output offset voltage is applied gradually to the
output between Mute mode and Operating mode. The bias current setting of the VI
converters is related to the voltage on the MODE pin; 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 can be generated via an RC-network on
the MODE pin. 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 the MODE pin 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 the Mute mode before switching to the Operating mode. A complete
overview of the start-up timing is given in Figure 5.

When switching from standby to mute, there is a delay of 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 the MODE pin is at least 350 ms for the transition between mute and
operating.
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 the MODE pin is at
least 350 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 of
approximately 317 kHz. Using a 2nd-order LC demodulation filter in the application results
in an analog audio signal across the loudspeaker. This switching frequency is fixed by an
external resistor ROSC connected between pin OSC and VSSA. An optimal setting for the
carrier frequency is between 300 kHz and 350 kHz.
Using an external resistor of 30 kW
317 kHz.
on the OSC pin, the carrier frequency is set to
If two or more class-D amplifiers are used in the same audio application, it is advisable to
have all devices operating at the same switching frequency by using an external clock
circuit.
8.3 Protections
The following protections are included in TDA8922B:
• OverTemperature Protection (OTP)
• OverCurrent Protection (OCP)
• Window Protection (WP)
• Supply voltage protections:
– UnderVoltage Protection (UVP)
– OverVoltage Protection (OVP)
– UnBalance Protection (UBP).
The reaction of the device on the different fault conditions differs per protection:
8.3.1 OverTemperature Protection (OTP)
If the junction temperature Tj > 150 C, then the power stage will shut-down immediately.
The power stage will start switching again if the temperature drops to approximately
130 C, thus there is a hysteresis of approximately 20 C.
8.3.2 OverCurrent Protection (OCP)
When the loudspeaker terminals are short-circuited or if one of the demodulated outputs
of the amplifier is short-circuited to one of the supply lines, this will be detected by the
OverCurrent Protection (OCP). If the output current exceeds the maximum output current
of 5 A, this current will be limited by the amplifier to 5 A while the amplifier outputs remain
switching (the amplifier is NOT shut-down completely).
The amplifier can distinguish between an impedance drop of the loudspeaker and
low-ohmic short across the load. In the TDA8922B this impedance threshold (Zth)
depends on the supply voltage used.
When a short is made across the load causing the impedance to drop below the threshold
level (< Zth) then the amplifier is switched off completely and after a time of 100 ms it will
try to restart again. If the short circuit condition is still present after this time this cycle will
be repeated. The average dissipation will be low because of this low duty cycle.
