TPA3130 bootstrap capacitor on mono mode (PBTL)

Hi, Akio

           TI do not recommend this method due to the internal NMOS driver for OUTP and OUTN are independent. 

Peter-san,

Thank you for a quick response. I will tell your answer to him.

Best regards,

Peter-san,

The customer does not agree to your answer because it is possible in TPA3140D2, see Figure 26 of TPA3140D2 datasheet. Why is it impossible in TPA3130D2?

Hi, Akio

           Yes, Customer can use it. Just let them know the background, do not worry about it, because TPA3140d2 has verified with mass production.

Peter-san,

TPA3140D2 was designed in consideration that the four bootstrap capacitors can be combined into two in PBTL mode, but TPA3130D2 was not.
Is this understanding correct?

Hi, Akio
To be frankly, it is better to use four capacitors theoretically. So several years ago, in TPA3130D2's datasheet ,we suggest customer to use as this method. But, in order to help customer to lower their BOM cost (Lower cost is the trend), we use only 2 capacitor in TPA3140D2's reference design, we has done some validation job in Lab, customer also use this reference design with mass production.
But TI still recommend to use four capacitors.

Peter-san,

Thank you for valuable information.
