and the capacitor can cause a loss in efficiency. For filtering lower-frequency noise signals, a 10 mF or greater
capacitor (CS2) placed near the audio power amplifier would also help, but it is not required in most applications
because of the high PSRR of this device. Typically, the smaller the capacitor's case size, the lower the
inductance and the closer it can be placed to the TPA2011D1. X5R and X7R dielectric capacitors are
recommended for both CS1 and CS2.
Input Capacitors (CI)
The TPA2011D1 does not require input coupling capacitors if the design uses a differential source that is biased
from 0.5 V to VDD –0.8 V (shown in Figure 28). If the input signal is not biased within the recommended common-mode input range, if needing to use the input as a high pass filter (shown in
Figure 29), or if using a
single-ended source (shown in
Figure 30), input coupling capacitors are required.
The input capacitors and input resistors form a high-pass filter with the corner frequency, fc, determined in
(2)
The value of the input capacitor is important to consider as it directly affects the bass (low frequency)
performance of the circuit. Speakers in wireless phones cannot usually respond well to low frequencies, so the
corner frequency can be set to block low frequencies in this application.
Equation 3 is reconfigured to solve for the input coupling capacitance.
(3)
If the corner frequency is within the audio band, the capacitors should have a tolerance of ±10% or better,
because any mismatch in capacitance causes an impedance mismatch at the corner frequency and below.
For a flat low-frequency response, use large input coupling capacitors (1 mF). However, in a GSM phone the
ground signal is fluctuating at 217 Hz, but the signal from the codec does not have the same 217 Hz fluctuation.
The difference between the two signals is amplified, sent to the speaker, and heard as a 217 Hz hum.
