TPA2011D1: Impacted performance with gain higher than 2V/V.

Part Number: TPA2011D1

We are looking to implement a class amplifier in a client product and has found TPA2011D1 suited.

Datasheet however states that a gain of maximum 6dB (2V/V) is desireable for the best performance. What would be affected if using 6.7V/V gain?

  • Hi Finn,

    Optimal device performance is achieved with a gain of 2 V/V or lower, which keeps a high voltage at the input and makes the inputs less susceptible to noise. Increasing the gain will also increase crosstalk signal coupling.

  • OK. I did expect noise to be impacted. I do not get the Crosstalk part as it is a Mono BTL drive.....

    There are no data on build in amplifier bandwidth and we were a little afraid that it could be affected?  

    Noise is not an important parameter for this application and we would like not to have to add additional gain in front.

    Is it safe to assume that the 20uV output noise then will becomming 6.7/2 times higher? This will not be an issue for us.

  • Hi Finn,


    Bandwidth will not be a concern with higher gain as the changes will be outside of the audio band. Yes, the noise will increase linearly with gain as you mentioned.


    Regards,

  • Thank's, we also had i through TINA and it agrees that D-amp matches our application with the higher gain. Great tool.
