DECOUPLING CAPACITOR CS
The TPA2026D2 is a high-performance Class-D audio amplifier that requires adequate power supply decoupling
to ensure the efficiency is high and total harmonic distortion (THD) is low. For higher frequency transients,
spikes, or digital hash on the line, a good low equivalent-series-resistance (ESR) 1-mF ceramic capacitor
(typically) placed as close as possible to the device PVDD (L, R) lead works best. Placing this decoupling
capacitor close to the TPA2026D2 is important for the efficiency of the Class-D amplifier, because any resistance
or inductance in the trace between the device and the capacitor can cause a loss in efficiency. For filtering
lower-frequency noise signals, a 4.7 mF or greater capacitor 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.
INPUT CAPACITORS CI
The input capacitors and input resistors form a high-pass filter with the corner frequency, fC, determined in
(5)
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. Not using input capacitors can increase
output offset.
Equation 6 is used to solve for the input coupling capacitance. 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.

BOARD LAYOUT
In making the pad size for the WCSP balls, it is recommended that the layout use non solder mask defined
(NSMD) land. With this method, the solder mask opening is made larger than the desired land area, and the
opening size is defined by the copper pad width.
Figure 47 and
Table 5 show the appropriate diameters for a
WCSP layout. The TPA2026D2 evaluation module (EVM) layout is shown in the next section as a layout
example.
