TPA2011D1: What's the total gain when the input is the sum of two single-ended signals?

Part Number: TPA2011D1


Hi Team,

As title, what's the total gain when the input is the sum of two single-ended signals? The datasheet only specifies Gain1 and Gain2.

Thanks!

  • Hi Roy,

    The gain for each input is different in this case.

    The gain is a relation between input and output signals, so it can be different for each one if input resistors are different. The amplifier gain would depend on which signal you consider as the input.

  • Hi Ivan,

    Thanks for getting back but I think it is still not 100% clear to me.

    Let's say we have single-ended input 1 V1 and single-ended input 2 V2. The corresponding gains are Gain1 and Gain2.

    What will we get across Vo+ and Vo-? Will it be (V1*Gain1 + V2*Gain2)?

    Thanks!

  • Hi Roy,

    Yous assumption is correct. Each input has its own gain so the output will be the sum of each input signal multiplied by the gain times.
    Take into account that the sum is a mixing, not a linear addition.
