NCP2993
1.3 Watt Audio Power
Amplifier with Selectable
Fast Turn On Time
The NCP2993 is an audio power amplifier designed for portable
communication device applications such as mobile phone
applications. The NCP2993 is capable of delivering 1.3 W of
continuous average power to an 8.0 BTL load from a 5.0 V power
supply, and 1.1 W to a 4.0 BTL load from a 3.6 V power supply.
The NCP2993 provides high quality audio while requiring few
external components and minimal power consumption. It features a
lowpower consumption shutdown mode, which is achieved by
driving the SHUTDOWN pin with logic low.
The NCP2993 contains circuitry to prevent from “pop and click”
noise that would otherwise occur during turnon and turnoff
transitions. It is a zero pop noise device when a single ended or a
differential audio input is used.
For maximum flexibility, the NCP2993 provides an externally
controlled gain (with resistors). In addition, it integrates 2 different
Turn On times (15 ms or 30 ms) adjustable with the TON pin.
Due to its superior PSRR, it can be directly connected to the
battery, saving the use of an LDO.
This device is available in a 9Pin FlipChip CSP package with a
0.4mm pitch (LeadFree).

Stresses exceeding Maximum Ratings may damage the device. Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only. Functional operation above the
Recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. Extended exposure to stresses above the Recommended Operating Conditions may affect
device reliability.
1. Maximum electrical ratings are defined as those values beyond which damage to the device may occur at TA = +25°C.
2. The thermal shutdown set to 160°C (typical) avoids irreversible damage on the device due to power dissipation.
3. The RJA is highly dependent of the PCB Heatsink area. For example, RJA can equal 195°C/W with 50 mm2 total area and also 135°C/W with
500 mm2. The bumps have the same thermal resistance and all need to be connected to optimize the power dissipation.
4. Human Body Model, 100 pF discharge through a 1.5 k resistor following specification JESD22/A114.
5. Machine Model, 200 pF discharged through all pins following specification JESD22/A115.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Detailed Description
The NCP2993 audio amplifier can operate under 2.5 V
until 5.5 V power supply. With less than 1% THD + N, it
can deliver up to 1.35 W RMS output power to an 8.0
load (VP = 5.0 V). If application allows to reach 10%
THD + N, then 1.65 W can be provided using a 5.0 V
power supply.
The structure of the NCP2993 is basically composed of
two identical internal power amplifiers; the first one is
externally configurable with gainsetting resistors Rin and
Rf (the closedloop gain is fixed by the ratios of these
resistors) and the second is internally fixed in an inverting
unitygain configuration by two resistors of 20 k. So the
load is driven differentially through OUTA and OUTB
outputs. This configuration eliminates the need for an
output coupling capacitor.
Internal Power Amplifier
The output PMOS and NMOS transistors of the amplifier
were designed to deliver the output power of the
specifications without clipping. The channel resistance
(Ron) of the NMOS and PMOS transistors does not exceed
0.6 when they drive current.
The structure of the internal power amplifier is
composed of three symmetrical gain stages, first and
medium gain stages are transconductance gain stages to
obtain maximum bandwidth and DC gain.
TurnOn and TurnOff Transitions
When a shutdown low level is applied, the output level
is tied to Ground on each output after 10 s.
With TON = GND, turn on time is set to 30 ms. With TON
= VP
, turn on time is set to 15 ms. To avoid any pop and click
noises, Rin * Cin < 2.4 ms with TON = GND and Rin * Cin
< 1.2 ms with TON = Vp. The electrical characteristics are
identical with the 2 configurations. This fast turn on time
added to a very low shutdown current saves battery life and
brings flexibility when designing the audio section of the
final application.
NCP2993 is a zero pop noise device when using a
singleended or differential audio input configuration.
Shutdown Function
The device enters shutdown mode when shutdown signal
is low. During the shutdown mode, the DC quiescent
current of the circuit does not exceed 100 nA. In this
configuration, the output impedance is 8.5 k on each
output.
Current Limit Circuit
The maximum output power of the circuit (Porms =
1.0 W, VP = 5.0 V, RL = 8.0 ) requires a peak current in
the load of 500 mA.
In order to limit the excessive power dissipation in the
load when a shortcircuit occurs, the current limit in the
load is fixed to 1.1 A. The current in the four output MOS
transistors are realtime controlled, and when one current
exceeds 1.1 A, the gate voltage of the MOS transistor is
clipped and no more current can be delivered.
Thermal Overload Protection
Internal amplifiers are switched off when the
temperature exceeds 160°C, and will be switched on again
only when the temperature decreases fewer than 140°C.
The NCP2993 is unitygain stable and requires no
external components besides gainsetting resistors, an
input coupling capacitor and a proper bypassing capacitor
in the typical application.
The first amplifier is externally configurable (Rf and
Rin), while the second is fixed in an inverting unity gain
configuration.
The differentialended amplifier presents two major
advantages:
The possible output power is four times larger (the
output swing is doubled) as compared to a singleended
amplifier under the same conditions.
Output pins (OUTA and OUTB) are biased at the same
potential VP/2, this eliminates the need for an output
coupling capacitor required with a singleended
amplifier configuration.
The differential closed loopgain of the amplifier is
given by Avd +2* Rf
Rin
+Vorms
Vinrms .
Output power delivered to the load is given by
Porms +(Vopeak)2
2*R
L (Vopeak is the peak differential output
voltage).
When choosing gain configuration to obtain the desired
output power, check that the amplifier is not current limited
or clipped.
The maximum current which can be delivered to the load
is 500 mA Iopeak +
Vopeak
RL.
GainSetting Resistor Selection (Rin and Rf)
Rin and Rf set the closedloop gain of the amplifier.
In order to optimize device and system performance, the
NCP2993 should be used in low gain configurations.
The low gain configuration minimizes THD + noise
values and maximizes the signal to noise ratio, and the
amplifier can still be used without running into the
bandwidth limitations.
A closed loop gain in the range from 2 to 5 is
recommended to optimize overall system performance.
An input resistor (Rin) value of 24 k is realistic in most
of applications, and doesn’t require the use of a too large
capacitor Cin.
Input Capacitor Selection (Cin)
The input coupling capacitor blocks the DC voltage at
the amplifier input terminal. This capacitor creates a
NCP2993
http://onsemi.com
11
highpass filter with Rin, the cutoff frequency is given by
fc +1
2**R
in *C
in .
The size of the capacitor must be large enough to couple
in low frequencies without severe attenuation.
IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4
In some particular applications, NCP2993 may need
extra ESD protection to pass IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4
qualification.
Depending on the test, user can consider different level
of protection:
up to 22 pF capacitor connected between each amplifier
output terminals and ground.
Dedicated IEC filters such as ESD7.0 series from
ON Semiconductor.
In any case, the protection should be placed as close as
possible to the ESD stress entry point. Proper and carefull
layout is a key factor to ensure optimum protection level is
achieved. Designer should make sure the connection
impedance between protection and ground / protection and
NCP2993 is as low as possible.
