Due to the out-of-phase nature of a BTL or PBTL amplifier operating in the AD modulation, if no LC filter was present, the load sees the full PWM signal across its terminals. This causes a high-frequency ripple current to pass through the load, which leads to high power dissipation, poor efficiency, and potential speaker damage. The ripple current is large in the AD modulation scheme, because it is proportional to voltage multiplied by the time at that voltage. The differential voltage swing is 2 × VCC, and the time at each voltage is half the period for the AD modulation scheme. An ideal LC filter is required to store the ripple current from each half cycle for the next half cycle, while any resistance causes power dissipation. The speaker is both resistive and reactive, whereas an LC filter is almost purely reactive. The modulation schemes implemented in the TPA3126D2 have little loss in the load even without a filter because the pulses are short and the change in voltage is VCC instead of 2 × VCC. As the output power increases and the pulses widen, the ripple current can go up. In this case, the ripple current can be filtered with an LC filter for increased efficiency. However, in most applications the filter is not required. With an LC filter, specifically as the cut-off frequency of the LC filter is smaller than the PWM switching frequency of the amplifier, the ripple current is reduced such that only a small residual ripple voltage is present after the LC filter. The filter has less resistance but higher impedance at the switching frequency than the speaker, which results in less power dissipation, hence increasing efficiency. 8.3.14 Ferrite Bead Filter Considerations Using the Advanced Emissions Suppression Technology in the TPA3126D2, a high efficiency Class-D audio amplifier can be designed while minimizing interference to the surrounding circuits. Designing the amplifier can also be accomplished with only a low-cost ferrite bead filter. In this case the user must carefully select the ferrite bead used in the filter. One important aspect of the ferrite bead selection is the type of material used in the ferrite bead. Not all ferrite material is alike, therefore the user must select a material that is effective in the 10-MHz to 100-MHz range which is key to the operation of the Class-D amplifier. Many of the specifications regulating consumer electronics have emissions limits as low as 30-MHz. The ferrite bead filter should be used to block radiation in the 30-MHz and above range from appearing on the speaker wires and the power supply lines which are good antennas for these signals. The impedance of the ferrite bead can be used along with a small capacitor with a value in the range of 1000-pF to reduce the frequency spectrum of the signal to an acceptable level. For best performance, the resonant frequency of the ferrite bead or capacitor filter should be less than 10-MHz. Also, the ferrite bead must be large enough to maintain its impedance at the peak currents expected for the amplifier. Some ferrite bead manufacturers specify the bead impedance at a variety of current levels. In this case it is possible to make sure the ferrite bead maintains an adequate amount of impedance at the peak current the amplifier will see. If these specifications are not available, the device can also estimate the bead current handling capability by measuring the resonant frequency of the filter output at low power and at maximum power. A change of resonant frequency of less than fifty percent under this condition is desirable. Examples of ferrite beads which have been tested and work well with the TPA3136D2 can be seen in the TPA3136D2EVM user guide SLOU444. A high quality ceramic capacitor is also required for the ferrite bead filter. A low ESR capacitor with good temperature and voltage characteristics will work best. Additional EMC improvements may be obtained by adding snubber networks from each of the Class-D outputs to ground. Suggested values for a simple RC series snubber network would be 18-Ω in series with a 330-pF capacitor, although design of the snubber network is specific to different applications and must be designed with the consideration of the parasitic reactance of the printed circuit board as well as the audio amp. Take care to evaluate the stress on the component in the snubber network especially if the amp is running at high PVCC. Also, verify the layout of the snubber network is tight and returns directly to the GND pins on the IC.
