TPA3116D2: Audio Amplifiers Forum

Part Number: TPA3116D2

I want to make AC constant current  source for 40 to 400 Hz, 40 VA, programmable 0-10 Amp RMS current with THD less than 0.5%, using TPA3116D2 class D audio Power Amplifier, in PBTL mode.
I will change Plimit voltage above 5A rms output so that volage output is clamped at 4.5 volt RMS. I will be using 10uH inductance as recommended in TPA3116D2EVM for all outputs.

Will I be exceeding 5.7 AMP max current rating for the output MOS transistor in PBTL mode.

What is recommended PVCC voltage in this case. Can I sue 16 Volt 6 amp power adapter for this.

The EMV schematic shows that INPL and INNL pins are connected to GND. These are normally biased to 3V,
and in this case, can I connect to GND or should connect to GND with 1 uF in series with these pins.

  • Hi Ramakishna,
    How much is the load resistance? If the ouput voltage can reach 4.5Vrms and the output current can reach 10Arms, the load resistance is very low. The min value of the recommended load resistance in PBTL mode is 1.6Ohm, you could find this info the datasheet. And the efficiency is lower if the load resistance is lower.
    PBTL mode is enabled by connecting the INNL and INPL to GND. This has to be done to enable PBTL mode. Please find more info the datasheet.
