Voltage gain adjustment This IC has the amplifier construction as shown Fig.1. The pre-amp (amp 1) is provided to the primary stage, and the input voltage is amplified by the flat amps, amp 3 and amp 4 of each channel through the phase amp (amp 2). Since the input offset is prevented by pre-amp when VCC is set to on, this circuit can remarkably reduce the pop noise. 2 2006-04-28 TA8221AHQ / ALQ The total closed loop gain GV of this IC can be obtained by expression below when the closed loop voltage gain of amp 1 is GV1. G V1 = 20log R1 + (Rf + R2) (dB) R f + R2 ..... (1) The closed loop voltage gain of power amp, amp 3 and amp 4 is fixed at GV3GV4 = 20dB. Therefore, the total closed circuit voltage gain GV is obtained through BTL connection by the expression below. GV = GV1 + GV3 + 6 (dB) ............... (2) For example, when Rf = 0, GV is obtained by the expressions (1) and (2) as shown below. GV24 + 20 + 6 = 50dB The voltage gain is reduced when Rf is increased. (Fig.2) With the voltage gain reduced, since (1) the oscillation stability is reduced, and (2) the pop noise changes when VCC is set to on, refer to the items 3 and 4. 2. Stand-by SW function By means of controlling pin(4) (stand-by terminal) to high and low, the power suply can be set to on and off. The threshold voltage of pin(4) is set at 2.1V (3VBE.), and the power supply current is about 100A (typ.) at the stand-by state. Control voltage of pin(4): V (SB) Stand-by Power V (SB) (V) On Off 0~2 Off On 3~VCC Advantage of stand-by SW (1) Since VCC can directly be controlled to on / off by the microcomputer, the switching relay can be omitted. (2) Since the control current is microscopic, the switching relay of small current capacity is satisfactory for switching. 3 2006-04-28 TA8221AHQ / ALQ 3. Preventive measure against oscillation For preventing the oscillation, it is advisable to use C4, the condenser of polyester film having small characteristic fluctuation of the temperature and the frequency. The condenser (C6) between input and GND is effective for preventng oscillation which is generated with a feedback signal from an output stage. The resistance R to be series applied to C4 is effective for phase correction of high frequency, and improves the oscillation allowance. (1) Voltage gain to be used (GV setting) (2) Capacity value of condenser (3) Kind of condenser (4) Layout of printed board In case of its use with the voltage gain GV reduced or with the feedback amount increased, care must be taken because the phase-inversion is caused by the high frequency resulting in making the oscillation liable generated. 4. Adjustment of output offset (when the power supply turn on) As this IC is contructed with DC circuit on the primary stage, it is necessary to lower a input offset or output offset by agreement with the each leading edge time constant of the input voltage in the primary stage and NF terminal voltage. Concretely, monitor the output DC voltage and vary the capacity value in input condenser and NF condenser (see Fig.4) (reference) In case of setting the condition (GV = 40dB) with Rf = 470. 4 2006-04-28 TA8221AHQ / ALQ 5. Muting function Through setting pin(1) (mute terminal) at about 1V or less, muting becomes possible. The interval circuit of IC is shown in Fig.5. When pin(1) is set to low, Q1 and Q2 are turned to on, the charge of the ripple condenser is discharged and the bias is cut. The mute amount of 60dB or over can be obtained. Since this muting function rapidly discharge the charge of the ripple filter capacitor of pin(8), the pop noise is generated by the DC fluctuation of the bias section. Therefore, this muting function is not appropriate to the audio muting but it is effective in muting at VCCon. 6. Rapid ripple discharging circuit at the time of VCC off This circuit is effective in such a mode where the VCC and the stand-by terminals become high / low simultaneously ; for instance, for a pop noise produced when the power is turned on / off repeatedly by operating the ignition key. If VCC is off, VCC7V is detected internally on IC and (1) The power stage bias circuit is cut, and (2) Pin(8) : Ripple capacitor is rapidly discharged by turning Q3 on and then Q1 and Q2 on. (Precaution 1) When the stand-by terminal was put to the low level after the ripple rapid discharging circuit was operated (VCC7V) at the time when VCC was turned off, a pop noise may be generated. Therefore, VCC which makes the stand-by terminal low shall be set at 8V or above so that (1) the stand-by terminal is put at the low level and (2) the ripple rapid discharging circuit is turned on when VCC is turned off (in order of (1) and (2)). An example of application is shown in (Fig.7). 5 2006-04-28 TA8221AHQ / ALQ (Precaution 2) If the falling time constant of the VCC line is large (the fall is gentle), the pop noise may become worse. In this case, it is possible to prevent the pop noise from beoming worse by reducing the capacity of "ripple rapid discharging circuit at the time of VCC off" accordign to the following steps : (a) Short pin(1) (mute terminal) and pin(8) (ripple terminal). (b) Increase the capacity of ripple capacitor of pin(8). However, it shall be kept in mind that the time for turning the power on becomes longer as the result of step (b). 7.

The IC will fully break down when used under conditions that exceed its absolute maximum ratings, when the wiring is routed improperly or when an abnormal pulse noise occurs from the wiring or load, causing a large current to continuously flow and the breakdown can lead smoke or ignition. To minimize the effects of the flow of a large current in case of breakdown, appropriate settings, such as fuse capacity, fusing time and insertion circuit location, are required. * If your design includes an inductive load such as a motor coil, incorporate a protection circuit into the design to prevent device malfunction or breakdown caused by the current resulting from the inrush current at power ON or the negative current resulting from the back electromotive force at power OFF. For details on how to connect a protection circuit such as a current limiting resistor or back electromotive force adsorption diode, refer to individual IC datasheets or the IC databook. IC breakdown may cause injury, smoke or ignition. * Use a stable power supply with ICs with built-in protection functions. If the power supply is unstable, the protection function may not operate, causing IC breakdown. IC breakdown may cause injury, smoke or ignition. * Carefully select external components (such as inputs and negative feedback capacitors) and load components (such as speakers), for example, power amp and regulator. If there is a large amount of leakage current such as input or negative feedback condenser, the IC output DC voltage will increase. If this output voltage is connected to a speaker with low input withstand voltage, overcurrent or IC failure can cause smoke or ignition. (The over current can cause smoke or ignition from the IC itself.) In particular, please pay attention when using a Bridge Tied Load (BTL) connection type IC that inputs output DC voltage to a speaker directly. * Over current Protection Circuit Over current protection circuits (referred to as current limiter circuits) do not necessarily protect ICs under all circumstances. If the Over current protection circuits operate against the over current, clear the over current status immediately. Depending on the method of use and usage conditions, such as exceeding absolute maximum ratings can cause the over current protection circuit to not operate properly or IC breakdown before operation. In addition, depending on the method of use and usage conditions, if over current continues to flow for a long time after operation, the IC may generate heat resulting in breakdown. * Thermal Shutdown Circuit Thermal shutdown circuits do not necessarily protect ICs under all circumstances. If the Thermal shutdown circuits operate against the over temperature, clear the heat generation status immediately. Depending on the method of use and usage conditions, such as exceeding absolute maximum ratings can cause the thermal shutdown circuit to not operate properly or IC breakdown before operation. * Heat Radiation Design When using an IC with large current flow such as power amp, regulator or driver, please design the device so that heat is appropriately radiated, not to exceed the specified junction temperature (Tj) at any time and condition. These ICs generate heat even during normal use. An inadequate IC heat radiation design can lead to decrease in IC life, deterioration of IC characteristics or IC breakdown. In addition, please design the device taking into considerate the effect of IC heat radiation with peripheral components. * Installation to Heat Sink Please install the power IC to the heat sink not to apply excessive mechanical stress to the IC. Excessive mechanical stress can lead to package cracks, resulting in a reduction in reliability or breakdown of internal IC chip. In addition, depending on the IC, the use of silicon rubber may be prohibited. Check whether the use of silicon rubber is prohibited for the IC you intend to use, or not. For details of power IC heat radiation design and heat sink installation, refer to individual technical datasheets or IC databooks. 15 2006-04-28 TA8221AHQ / ALQ RESTRICTIONS ON PRODUCT USE 060116EBF * The information contained herein is subject to change without notice. 021023_D * TOSHIBA is continually working to improve the quality and reliability of its products.
