TPA3255: RESET Behavior

Part Number: TPA3255


Precisely what happens when RESET is set LOW, and LOW to HIGH, HIGH to LOW ?

The datasheet states: "9.4.1.8 Device Reset.  Asserting RESET low initiates the device ramp down. The output FETs go into a Hi-Z state AFTER the ramp down is complete."

What exactly is "ramp down" and what is or isn't operating during that time ?

Is there any way to control the "ramp down" timing ?

The datasheet also states: "11.3 Powering Down.  The TPA3255 does not require a power-down sequence.  The device remains fully operational as long as the gate-drive supply (GVDD_X) voltage and VDD voltage are above the under-voltage protection (UVP) voltage threshold (8,7V)Is this true even if RESET = LOW ?  Although not specifically required, it is a good practice to hold RESET low during power down, thus preventing audible artifacts including pops or clicks by initiating a controlled ramp down sequence of the output voltage.

Does keeping RESET = LOW when powering down avoid this "ramp down".

  • Bob,

    Ramp down is internally controlled to aviod pop noise. user have no access to control the ramp down timing. Why you want to control the ramp down?

    Keep reset=low will shutdown the device, the device will not operational at all.
