6.1 Schematic

Absolute maximum rate (input V
CC
supply): 40 V
Bypass capacitor 100 nF in parallel to 1µF for each power V
CC is suggested.
branch. Dielectric X7R
Coil saturation current must be compatible with the peak current of application
There are two different ways to use the decoupling capacitors:
●
●
The decoupling capacitor(s) can be shared among channels; the layout must be designed to implement a "star route" for the V
CC
paths.
One decoupling capacitor can be used for each channel. It is mandatory that each decoupling capacitor be placed as close as possible to the IC pins. This solution is implemented on the TDA7498E demonstration board.

Snubber network: the key function of a snubber network is to absorb energy from the inductive component in the power circuit (the output coils and the speaker). The purpose of the snubber RC network is to dissipate the unnecessary high pulse energy, such as a high voltage spike, in the power circuit which is dangerous to the system.
Main filter (low-pass filter): The purpose of the main filter is to remove the carrier frequency (
≈310 kHz) and to cut off the frequency higher than the audible range of
20 kHz. The LPF filter is implemented by a passive Butterworth topology. In order to have a clean and flat frequency response, it is mandatory to design the filter to fix the cutoff frequency a little bit above 20 kHz.
Damping network: The purpose of the damping network is to avoid the high-frequency oscillation issue on the output circuit. When the load is disconnected from the amplifier, the frequency response of the main filter is not flat and there is the possibility of adding gain in a frequency band. The damping network also improves the THD performance.
The damping network can also avoid the inductive effect of the PCB tracks when the system is working at high frequency with PWM.

Snubber filter
The snubber circuit must be optimized for the specific application. Starting values are
330 pF in series to 22 ohm. The power dissipation of this network (resistor) depends on the power supply, frequency and capacitor values using following formula:
P
=
⋅ ⋅ (
2 V
)
2
This power is dissipated on the series resistance.

To increase the efficiency, it is possible to use two equal snubber networks toward GND. In this case, the formula to evaluate power is:
P = C f 2 V

This power is dissipated on the resistance.

The C-R-C is a dumping network. It is mainly intended for high inductive loads and for common-mode noise attenuation.

Solder 100 nF and 1µF bypass ceramic capacitors as close as possible to the related
IC pin
To avoid the effect due to the parasitic inductive coil generated by the copper wires, it is suggested to use the ceramic capacitor to balance the reactance. It's mandatory to place the ceramic capacitor as close as possible to the related pins. The distance between the capacitor to the related pins is recommended to be within 5 mm.

100 nF and 1
μF capacitors should be connected to the related IC pin directly
● Solder the snubber networks as close as possible to the related IC pin. A high level spike may occur if the snubber network is placed too far from the pins. It's recommended that the distance from the snubber network be within 3 mm which takes into consideration the width of the copper wire.

Use electrolytic capacitors first to separate the V
CC
branches. A "star route" for the V
CC supply is suggested to avoid interference between the channels such as when one channel is idle while the other channel is working with a full load. In applications with high output power, another approach is to filter the two channels separately. This solution is implemented in this demonstration board.
