Press Release Summary:
Filter-free, Class-D, mono TPA2010D1 comes in Wafer Chip Scale Package measuring 1.45 x 1.45 mm and offers lead and lead-free ball options. Device provides 2.5 W power output and offers efficiency of 88%, reached with 8 ohm speaker, reducing power wasted as heat and low operation/shutdown current of 2.8 mA and 0.5 µA, respectively, saves battery. Applications include cell phones, smart phones, and personal digital assistants.
Original Press Release:
Industry's Smallest Mono Filter-Free Class-D Audio Power Amplifier Available in Wafer Chip Scale Package from TI
Providing Customers with More Audio Power per mm2
DALLAS, (February 12, 2004) - Enabling wireless and personal digital assistant (PDA) designers to conserve board space while gaining efficiency, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) today announced the smallest and highest performance filter-free Class-D mono audio power amplifier in the market. This 2.5-W device is available in TI's state-of-the-art Wafer Chip Scale Package (WCSP), which measures only 1.45mm by 1.45 mm and comes in lead and lead-free ball options. The TPA2010D1 is ideal for end equipments where high efficiency and board space are critical, such as cell phones, smart phones and PDAs. (See www.ti.com/sc04046 for more information.)
"The TPA2010D1 squeezes all the benefits of a high-efficiency, filter-free Class-D audio power amplifier into a minuscule package solution," said Gregg Lowe, senior vice president of TI's High Performance Analog division. "Providing a new WCSP package option for TI's Class-D audio power amplifiers allows us to further strengthen our relationship with key wireless and PDA manufacturers."
The TPA2010D1 is designed to use a very small amount of board real-estate and provide a large amount of output power (2.5-W) while maximizing the battery life in portable equipment using audio such as cell phones, smart phones and PDAs. The 88 percent efficiency reached with a typical 8-Ohm speaker means that only a very small amount of power is wasted as heat and the low operation and shutdown current of 2.8-mA and 0.5-uA, respectively, saves valuable battery charge. Furthermore, the fully-differential architecture virtually removes effects like "RF-rectification:" a common issue in TDMA and GSM mobile phones. The device needs only three external components for correct operation and was designed for maximum system flexibility.
