there are no shorts from OUT_X to GND_X, the second step tests that there are no shorts from OUT_X to
PVDD_X. The total duration of this process is roughly proportional to the capacitance of the output LC filter. The
typical duration is < 15ms/mF. While the PPSC detection is in progress, SD is kept low, and the device will not
react to changes applied to the RESET pins. If no shorts are present the PPSC detection passes, and SD is
released. A device reset will not start a new PPSC detection. PPSC detection is enabled in BTL and PBTL output
configurations, the detection is not performed in SE mode. To make sure not to trip the PPSC detection system it
is recommended not to insert resistive load to GND_X or PVDD_X.
OVERTEMPERATURE PROTECTION
The two different package options has individual over temperature protection schemes.
PHD Package
The TAS5613A PHD package option has a three-level temperature-protection system that asserts an active-low
warning signal (OTW1) when the device junction temperature exceeds 100°C (typical), (OTW2) when the device
junction temperature exceeds 125°C (typical) and, if the device junction temperature exceeds 155°C (typical), the
device is put into thermal shutdown, resulting in all half-bridge outputs being set in the high-impedance (Hi-Z)
state and SD being asserted low. OTE is latched in this case. To clear the OTE latch, RESET must be asserted.
Thereafter, the device resumes normal operation.
DKD Package
The TAS5613A DKD package option has a two-level temperature-protection system that asserts an active-low
warning signal (OTW) when the device junction temperature exceeds 125°C (typical) and, if the device junction
temperature exceeds 155°C (typical), the device is put into thermal shutdown, resulting in all half-bridge outputs
being set in the high-impedance (Hi-Z) state and SD being asserted low. OTE is latched in this case. To clear the
OTE latch, RESET must be asserted. Thereafter, the device resumes normal operation.
UNDERVOLTAGE PROTECTION (UVP) AND POWER-ON RESET (POR)
The UVP and POR circuits of the TAS5613A fully protect the device in any power-up/down and brownout
situation. While powering up, the POR circuit resets the overload circuit (OLP) and ensures that all circuits are
Although GVDD_X and VDD are independently monitored, a supply voltage drop below the UVP threshold on
any VDD or GVDD_X pin results in all half-bridge outputs immediately being set in the high-impedance (Hi-Z)
state and SD being asserted low. The device automatically resumes operation when all supply voltages have
increased above the UVP threshold.
DEVICE RESET
When RESET is asserted low, all power-stage FETs in the four half-bridges are forced into a high-impedance
(Hi-Z) state.
In BTL modes, to accommodate bootstrap charging prior to switching start, asserting the reset input low enables
weak pulldown of the half-bridge outputs. In the SE mode, the output is forced into a high impedance state when
asserting the reset input low.
Asserting reset input low removes any fault information to be signalled on the SD output, i.e., SD is forced high.
A rising-edge transition on reset input allows the device to resume operation after an overload fault. To ensure
thermal reliability, the rising edge of reset must occur no sooner than 4 ms after the falling edge of SD.
SYSTEM DESIGN CONSIDERATION
A rising-edge transition on reset input allows the device to execute the startup sequence and starts switching.
Apply only audio when the state of READY is high that will start and stop the amplifier without having audible
artifacts that is heard in the output transducers.
The CLIP signal is indicating that the output is approaching clipping. The signal can be used to either an audio
volume decrease or intelligent power supply controlling a low and a high rail.
The device is inverting the audio signal from input to output.
