1.  Introduction 

This User Manual describes the TFA9879 digital input mono Class-D amplifier 
demonstration PCB based on NXP Semiconductors’ TFA9879HN device. Extension “HN” 
is referring to the HVQFN24 package dedicated for reflow soldering. 

The TFA9879 demonstration PCB is designed in such a way that it is easy to operate the 
TFA9879 device for demonstration purposes and for validation. Therefore the 
demonstration PCB facilitates the following circuitry (see Figure 1): 

 

TFA9879 Class-D amplifier requires only three external components that are 
stuffed at a translation PCB. 

 

Analog to digital converter (ADC + clock generator, I2S format, fs = 48kHz) to 
drive the speaker via the Class-D amplifier with analog signals. 

 

3.3V buck boost converter (DCDC) for the ADC and I2C pull-up voltage. 

 

1.8V linear regulator for the digital core of the TFA9879. 

 

External 15kV ESD protection at amplifier output.
