14. Application information

14.1 Output power estimation

The output power Po at THD+N = 0.5 %, just before clipping, for the SE and BTL
configuration can be estimated using Equation 2 and Equation 3.
SE configuration:
(2)
BTL configuration:
(3)
Where:
VP= supply voltage VDDP1 VSSP1 (V) or VDDP2 VSSP2 (V)
RL= load impedance ()
RDSon = on-resistance power switch (Ω)
Rs= series resistance output inductor (Ω)
RESR = equivalent series resistance SE capacitor (Ω)
tw(min) = minimum pulse width (s); 80 ns typical
fosc = oscillator frequency (Hz); 320 kHz typical with Rosc = 39 k
The output power Po at THD+N = 10 % can be estimated by:
(4)
Figure 8 and Figure 9 show the estimated output power at THD+N = 0.5 % and
THD+N = 10 % as a function of the supply voltage for SE and BTL configurations at
different load impedances. The output power is calculated with: RDSon = 0.15 (at
Tj=25°C), Rs= 0.05 , RESR = 0.05 and IO(ocp) = 4 A (minimum).
