GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SSM2306 is a fully integrated, high efficiency, Class-D stereo

audio amplifier designed to maximize performance for portable

applications. The application circuit requires minimum external

components and operates from a single 2.5 V to 5.0 V supply. It

is capable of delivering 2 W of continuous output power with less

than 10% total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD + N)

driving a 4 Ω load from a 5.0 V supply.

The SSM2306 features an ultralow idle current, high efficiency,

and a low noise modulation scheme. It operates with >87%

efficiency at 1.4 W into 8 Ω from a 5.0 V supply and has a

signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) that is better than 96 dB. Pulse-

density modulation (PDM) offers lower electromagnetic

interference (EMI) radiated emissions compared to other

Class-D architectures.

The SSM2306 has a micropower shutdown mode with a typical

shutdown current of 20 nA. Shutdown is enabled by applying a

logic low to the SD pin.

The architecture of the device allows it to achieve a very low level

of pop and click to minimize voltage glitches at the output during

turn-on and turn-off, thereby reducing audible noise on activation

and deactivation. The fully differential input of the SSM2306

provides excellent rejection of common-mode noise on the input.

Input coupling capacitors can be omitted if the dc input

The SSM2306 also has excellent rejection of power supply noise,

including noise caused by GSM transmission bursts and RF

rectification.

The SSM2306 has a preset gain of 18 dB that can be reduced by

using external resistors.

The SSM2306 is specified over the commercial temperature range

(−40°C to +85°C). It has built-in thermal shutdown and output

short-circuit protection. It is available in a 16-lead, 3 mm × 3 mm

lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP).
