TFA9812

BTL stereo Class-D audio amplifier with I

2

S input

The selected PWM switching frequency is 400 kHz by default and can be set to 350 kHz,
700 kHz and 750 kHz in I

2

C control mode. In Legacy mode 400 kHz is the only option and

this scales linearly if 32 kHz or 48 kHz is used as f

s

.

Remark: The selected sample frequency, f

s

(selected) must be equal to the sample

frequency (f

s

) in I

2

C control mode.

Remark: The performance of AM radio reception can sometimes be improved by
selecting non-interfering frequencies for the PWM signal.

8.6 Class-D amplification

The Class-D power amplification of the PWM signal is carried out in two BTL power
stages. The output signal voltage level is determined by the values on the V

DDP

pins.

The power amplifiers can be explicitly put into 3-state mode by using the pin ENABLE as
shown in

Table 19

. The ENABLE pin is functional in Legacy mode and in I

2

C mode.

Can be overruled by a forced 3-state in Sleep or Fault mode.

8.7 Protection mechanisms

The TFA9812 has a wide range of protection mechanisms to facilitate optimal and safe
application. All of these are active in both I

2

C and Legacy control modes.

The following protections are included in the TFA9812:

Thermal Foldback (TF)

OverTemperature Protection (OTP)

OverCurrent Protection (OCP)

OverVoltage Protection (OVP)

UnderVoltage Protection (UVP)

Window Protection (WP)

Lock Protection (LP)

UnderFrequency Protection (UFP)

OverFrequency Protection (OFP)

Invalid BCK Protection (IBP)

DC-blocking

ESD

The reaction of the device to the different fault conditions differs per protection.
