TPA3128D2: Frequency versus THD+N plots

Part Number: TPA3128D2

Hi,

A customer requires the Frequency versus THD+N plots of TPA3128D2 on the oscillator frequency 400kHz and 1200Hz.
If TI does not have these, would you measure these datum by following conditions?

PVCC=24V, Gain=26dB, RL=4Ω, BTL, Po=1W / 15W
The cut-off frequency of LC filter and LPF for measurement  should be set  around 50kHz.

Best regards,

Akio Ito

  • Hi Ito-san,

    Actually the THD performance is the same between 400kHz and 1200kHz. Could you please let me know why customer wants to use 1200MHz switching frequency? With a high PWM switching frequency, the switching loss is also high and then the efficiency is lower on the device. Generally most of our customers use 400kHz, and the performance is good enough in this case.

  • Shawn-san,

    Our customer seems to only want to know whether Oscillator frequency influences THD.
    He must have chosen 1200kHz for the reason of the maximum frequency.

  • Hi Ito-san,

    I understand it. Unfortunately we don't have this data(PVCC=24V, Gain=26dB, RL=4Ω, BTL, Po=1W/15W, Fsw=1200kHz) for now. I'm now out of office and on vacation, and I will collect that data as soon as I get back to office. Hopefully I could send you the data on 10/16. Thanks for your patience!

    Best regards,

  • Hello Ito-san! Is there still an open question here? im not sure if this was solved over email. Thanks, Jeff
  • Hello, Jeff-san,

    The question whether TI has data our customer wanted to, is closed.
    I promised him to send his required data by October 16. But I do not get the data still now.

  • Hi Ito-san,

    I'm sorry for the late reply, because I'm on the bizz trip. Please find the following charts for the THD performance vs. Frequency with 400kHz and 1200kHz PWM switching frequncy. Test condition is PVCC=24V, Gain=26dB, RL=4Ω, BTL mode.

    Form the above data, we can see that the THD performnce is a little worse with Fsw=1200kHz comaring to 400kHz ar lower frequency, but still in about the same order. We recommend customer to use 400kHz Fsw instead of 1200kHz, for a higher efficiency and a little better performance.

    Best regards,

  • Shawn-san,

    Thank you very much for your kind cooperation.
