The VPP and VNN form a split rail supply referenced to Pgnd. The 5V ground (Agnd) must be kept separate from the VPP and VNN ground (Pgnd). Agnd and Pgnd are joined at a common point on the RB-TA2022. Minimum and Maximum supply voltages are +/-20V and +/-36V, respectively, depending on the load impedance. It is not recommended that the RB-TA2022 be operated above +/-31V when driving 4 loads, single ended, as the internal current limit circuit may activate, causing the amplifier to mute. The VPP and VNN power supply connection, J2, is through a 5-Pin 0.156" spaced header. The female terminal housing for this header is Molex 09-50-8051. Please see TABLE 1 for header connections. The 5V power supply connection, J2, is through a 5-Pin 0.156" spaced header. The female terminal housing for this header is Molex 09-50-8051. Please see TABLE 1 for header connections.

The female terminal housing for this header is Molex 09-50-8061. The output of the TA2022 is single-ended, therefore each output has a positive output (OUT1) and a ground (GND1). Please see TABLE 2 for header connections.

The female terminal housing for this header is Molex 22-01-2077. The six inputs share a common ground referenced to Agnd. Please see TABLE 3 for header connections. TABLE 3 J1 Connector Pin# Connection Pin1 Agnd Pin2 IN1 Pin3 IN2 Pin4 IN3 Pin5 IN4 Pin6 IN5 Pin7 IN6 JUMPER SETTINGS There is a 3-pin header for the MUTE control of the three TA2022's. With the jumper placed in the AWAKE position the part is un-muted by grounding (AGND) the mute pin. When the jumper is placed in the MUTE position the mute pin is pulled high (5V) and the amplifier is muted. OUTPUT OFFSET NULL There is a potentiometer for each channel that is used to manually trim each channels output offset to 0V. GAIN SETTING The gain of each channel for the RBTA2022 is set to 18V/V. The gain of the TA2022 is the product of the input stage and the modulator stage. The input stage gain is set to unity. Before changing the gain of the TA2022, please refer to the TA2022 Amplifier Gain section of the TA2022 Data Sheet. 3 RB-TA2022 - KL/Rev. 1/09.01 Tr i path Technol ogy, I nc. - Technical Information Performing Measurements on the RBTA2022 Version 3.2 The TA2022 operates by generating a high frequency switching signal based on the audio input. This signal is sent through a low-pass filter that recovers an amplified version of the audio input. The frequency of the switching pattern is spread spectrum in nature and typically varies between 100kHz and 1MHz, which is well above the 20Hz - 20kHz audio band. The pattern itself does not alter or distort the audio input signal, but it does introduce some inaudible components. The measurements of certain performance parameters, particularly noise related specifications such as THD+N, are significantly affected by the design of the low-pass filter used on the output as well as the bandwidth setting of the measurement instrument used. Unless the filter has a very sharp roll-off just beyond the audio band or the bandwidth of the measurement instrument is limited, some of the inaudible noise components introduced by the TA2022 amplifier switching pattern will degrade the measurement by including out of band (audio) energy. One feature of the TA2022 is that it does not require large multi-pole filters to achieve excellent performance in listening tests, usually a more critical factor than performance measurements. Though using a multi-pole filter may remove high-frequency noise and improve THD+N type measurements (when they are made with wide-bandwidth measuring equipment), these same filters degrade frequency response. The RB-TA2022 has a simple two-pole output filter with excellent performance in listening tests.

Tripath recommends the customer use a toroidal inductor for all applications with the TA2022. This board uses the American Cores T600-06 core(Micrometals T60-2)(15.2mm outer diameter) which was selected for multi-channel applications. For higher power applications or high ambient conditions we recommend the Micrometals T68-2 core or the American Cores (Amidon) T690-06. These cores have a high peak current capability due to its low- Carbonyl-E metal powder. A distributed air gap increases its' energy storage capability, which allows for a small footprint and high current capability. The T68-2 and T690-06 cores have a 17.5mm outer diameter. Forty-four turns of 22AWG wire makes a complete single layer winding around the toroid with six to eight layers overlapping yielding an ideal value of 11uH. This winding pattern, which covers the core completely, aids in shielding the electric field. It should be noted that when multiple layers are used there may be an increase in winding capacitance, which can cause ringing and increased radiated emmisions. Winding techniques, such as bank winding, can minimize this effect. It is important that the innitial windings not be crossed over by the last few windings. If a few windings more than the single layer are required it is best to wind the core with a full single layer, back off a number of turns,and rewind over the last few windings. A larger diameter Carbonyl-E core may be used if a single layer wound core is required. Please contact Tripath Applications if there are questions pertaining to this subject.
