× 100 W SE (4 Ω) or 1 × 310 W BTL (4 Ω) class-D amplifier

The value of the RC time constant should be dimensioned for 500 ms. If the 100

µF

capacitor is left out of the application the voltage on pin MODE will be applied with a much

smaller time constant, which might result in audible pop noises during start-up (depending

on DC output offset voltage and used loudspeaker).

In order to fully charge the coupling capacitors at the inputs, the amplifier will remain

automatically in Mute mode for approximately 150 ms before switching to Operating

mode. A complete overview of the start-up timing is given in Figure 4.

6.3 Pulse width modulation frequency

The output signal of the amplifier is a PWM signal with a switching frequency that is set by

30 k

Ω sets the frequency to 310 kHz.
