Decoupling Capacitor

The PAM8902H is a high-performance CMOS audio amplifier that requires adequate power supply decoupling to ensure the output total

harmonic distortion (THD) as low as possible.

The optimum decoupling is achieved by using two different types of capacitors that target on different types of noise on the power supply leads.

For higher frequency transients, spikes or digital hash on the line, a good low equivalent series-resistance (ESR) ceramic capacitor, typically

1µF, is placed as close as possible to the device AVDD pin for the best operation. For filtering lower frequency noise signals, a large ceramic

capacitor of 10µF or greater placed near the AVDD supply trace is recommended.

External Schottky Diode

Use external schottky diode can get the best driving capability and efficiency. Since internal power diode has limited driving capability, only in

following conditions customer can remove the external schottky diode to reduce the cost.

2. The signal frequency less than 4KHz.

3. Haptic application (50-500Hz)

Shutdown Operation

In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, the PAM8902H contains shutdown circuitry amplifier off when a logic low is placed on the

ENA pin. By switching the ENA pin connected to GND, the PAM8902H supply current draw will be minimized in idle mode.

Under Voltage Lock-out (UVLO)

The PAM8902H incorporates circuitry designed to detect supply voltage. When the supply voltage drops to 2.2V or below, the PAM8902H goes

into a state of shutdown, and the device comes out of its shutdown state and restore to normal function only when reset the power supply or

ENA pin.

Short Circuit Protection (SCP)

The PAM8902H has short circuit protection circuitry on the outputs to prevent the device from damage when output-to-output shorted or output-

to-GND shorted occurs. When a short circuit occurs, the dev ice goes into a latch state and must be reset by cycling the voltage on the ENA pin

to a logic low and then back to the logic high state for normal operation. This will clear the short-circuit flag and allow for normal operation if the

short was removed. If the short was not removed, the protection circuitry will again activate.

Over Temperature Protection (OTP)

Thermal protection on the PAM8902H prevents the device from damage when the internal die temperature exceeds +150°C. There is a 15°C

tolerance on this trip point from device to device. Once the die temperature exceeds the set point, the device will enter the shutdown state and

the outputs are disabled, in this condition both OUT+ and OUT- will become high impedance. This is not a latched fault. The thermal fault is

cleared once the temperature of the die decreased by 30°C. This large hysteresis will prevent motor boating sound well and the device begins

normal operation at this point with no external system interaction.
