IRAUDAMP6 REV 1
.0
The IRAUDAMP6 does not use any series relay to disconnect the speaker from the audible
transient noise, but rather a shunt-based click noise reduction circuit that yields audible noise
levels that are far less that those generated by the relays they replace. This results in a more
reliable, superior performance system.
For the startup and shutdown procedures, the activation (and deactivation) of the click-noise
reduction circuit, the Class D power stage and the audio input (mute) controls have to be
sequenced correctly to achieve the required click noise reduction. The overall startup sequencing,
shutdown sequencing and shunt circuit operation are described below.
Click and POP Noise Reduction
To reduce the turn-on and turn-off click noise, a low impedance shunting circuit is used to
minimize the voltage across the speaker during transients. For this purpose, the shunting circuit
must include the following characteristics:
1) An impedance significantly lower than that of the speaker being shunted. In this case, the
shunt impedance is ~100 mΩ, compared to the normal 8 Ω speaker impedance.
2) When deactivated, the shunting circuit must be able to block voltage in both directions due
to the bi-directional nature of the audio output.
3) The shunt circuit requires some form of OCP. If one of the Class D output MOSFETs fails,
or is conducting when the speaker mute (SP MUTE) is activated, the shunting circuit will
effectively try to short one of the two supplies (+/-B).
The implemented click-noise reduction circuit is shown in Figure 12. Before startup or shutdown of
the Class D power stage, the click-noise reduction circuit is activated through the SP MUTE
control signal. With SP MUTE signal high, the speaker output is shorted through the back-to-back
MOSFETs (U5 for Channel 1) with an equivalent on resistance of about 100 mΩ. The two
transistors (U7 for Channel 1) are for the OCP circuit.
