GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SSM2304 is a fully integrated, high efficiency, Class-D stereo
audio amplifier. It is designed to maximize performance for
portable applications. The application circuit requires a mini-
mum of external components and operates from a single 2.5 V
to 5.0 V supply. It is capable of delivering 2 W of continuous
output power with less than 10% THD + N driving a 4 Ω load
from a 5.0 V supply.

The SSM2304 features a high efficiency, low noise modulation
scheme. It operates with 85% efficiency at 1.4 W into 8 Ω from a
5.0 V supply and has a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) that is better
than 98 dB. PDM modulation is used to provide lower EMI-
radiated emissions compared with other Class-D architectures.

The SSM2304 has a micropower shutdown mode with a typical
shutdown current of 20 nA. Shutdown is enabled by applying a
logic low to the SD pin.

The architecture of the device allows it to achieve a very low level
of pop and click. This minimizes voltage glitches at the output
during turn-on and turn-off, thus reducing audible noise on
activation and deactivation.

The fully differential input of the SSM2304 provides excellent
rejection of common-mode noise on the input. Input coupling
capacitors can be omitted if the dc input common-mode voltage
is approximately V

/2.

The SSM2304 also has excellent rejection of power supply noise,
including noise caused by GSM transmission bursts and RF
rectification.

The SSM2304 has a preset gain of 18 dB, which can be reduced
by using external resistors.

The SSM2304 is specified over the commercial temperature range
(−40

C to +85

C). It has built-in thermal shutdown and output

short-circuit protection. It is available in a 16-lead, 3 mm × 3 mm
lead-frame chip scale package (LFCSP).
