STARTUP AND SHUTDOWN RAMP SEQUENCE
The integrated startup and stop sequence ensures a click and pop free startup and shutdown sequence of the
amplifier. The startup sequence uses a voltage ramp with a duration set by the CSTART capacitor. The
sequence uses the input PWM signals to generate output PWM signals, hence input idle PWM should be present
during both startup and shut down ramping sequences.
VDD, GVDD_X and PVDD_X power supplies must be turned on and with settled outputs before starting
the startup ramp by setting RESET high.
During startup and shutdown ramp the input PWM signals should be in muted condition with the PWM processor
noise shaper activity turned off (50% duty cycle).
The duration of the startup and shutdown ramp is 100 ms + X ms, where X is the CSTART capacitor value in nF.
It is recommended to use 100nF CSTART in BTL and PBTL mode and 1 µF in SE mode configuration. This
results in ramp times of 200 ms and 1.1s respectively. The longer ramp time in SE configuration allows charge
and discharge of the output AC coupling capacitor without audible artifacts.
UNUSED OUTPUT CHANNELS
If all available output channels are not used, it is recommended to disable switching of unused output nodes to
reduce power consumption. Furthermore by disabling unused output channels the cost of unused output LC
demodulation filters can be avoided.
Disabling a channel is done by leave the bootstrap capacitor (BST) unstuffed and connecting the respective input
to GND. The unused output pin(s) can be left floating. Please note that the PVDD decoupling capacitors still
need to be mounted.
