Question about TAS5760 PVDD bulk caapcitor

Genius 4220 points

Hi,

In TAS5760 D/S, There is a 470uF bulk cap is put at PVDD.

Are there any good ways to reduce the bulk capacitance?

(for example, change the capacitance type , etc...)

Thanks, 

Go

  • Hi, Go,

    The capacitance depends on many factors in the customer's system: output power level, load resistance, audio performance goals, power supply stiffness, etc, etc. 

    Due to the many interactions, it is not possible for us to recommend a capacitor. You have to select is based on your needs, and test in your system to see that your needs are met.

    The amplifier itself can use a much smaller value under some conditions.

  • Hi, d2

    Thanks for your prompt support.

    so, if we use 470uF input bulk cap, we can cover the whole recommended operation conditions

    described in D/S, is it right?

    ans do you have any fomula to calculate input bulk capacitance requirements?

    Thanks

  • Hi, Go,

    Yes, the d/s plots were made using the EVM, which has the 470 uF cap on it.

    As for the formula, it's I = C * dv/dt where I is the current drawn from the supply, and dv/dt is the acceptable ripple in the application (based on the performance requirements and the psrr of the device).

  • Hi, d2

    Thank you for your support.

    Please let me ask one more thing.

    you said that the d/s plots were made using the EVM,

    How about the ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS AND CHARACTERISTICS?

    Was it also measured with the environment which has the 470 uF input bulk cap?.

    Thanks,

  • Hi, Go,

    Yes, we used 470 uF for that data as well.
