DETAILED DESCRIPTION
POWER SUPPLY
To facilitate system design, the TAS5713 needs only a 3.3-V supply in addition to the (typical) 18-V power-stage
supply. An internal voltage regulator provides suitable voltage levels for the gate drive circuitry. Additionally, all
circuitry requiring a floating voltage supply, e.g., the high-side gate drive, is accommodated by built-in bootstrap
circuitry requiring only a few external capacitors.
In order to provide good electrical and acoustical characteristics, the PWM signal path for the output stage is
designed as identical, independent half-bridges. For this reason, each half-bridge has separate bootstrap pins
(BST_x), and power-stage supply pins (PVDD_x). The gate-drive voltage (GVDD_OUT) is derived from the
PVDD voltage. Special attention should be paid to placing all decoupling capacitors as close to their associated
pins as possible. Inductance between the power-supply pins and decoupling capacitors must be avoided.
For a properly functioning bootstrap circuit, a small ceramic capacitor must be connected from each bootstrap pin
(BST_x) to the power-stage output pin (OUT_x). When the power-stage output is low, the bootstrap capacitor is
charged through an internal diode connected between the gate-drive regulator output pin (GVDD_OUT) and the
bootstrap pin. When the power-stage output is high, the bootstrap capacitor potential is shifted above the output
potential and thus provides a suitable voltage supply for the high-side gate driver. In an application with PWM
switching frequencies in the range from 352 kHz to 384 kHz, it is recommended to use 33-nF, X7R ceramic
capacitors, size 0603 or 0805, for the bootstrap supply. These 33-nF capacitors ensure sufficient energy storage,
even during minimal PWM duty cycles, to keep the high-side power-stage FET (LDMOS) fully turned on during
the remaining part of the PWM cycle.
Special attention should be paid to the power-stage power supply; this includes component selection, PCB
placement, and routing. As indicated, each half-bridge has independent power-stage supply pins (PVDD_x). For
optimal electrical performance, EMI compliance, and system reliability, it is important that each PVDD_x pin is
decoupled with a 100-nF, X7R ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to each supply pin.
The TAS5713 is fully protected against erroneous power-stage turnon due to parasitic gate charging.

C CHIP SELECT
A_SEL_FAULT is an input pin during power up. It can be pulled high (15-kΩ pullup) or low (15-kΩ pulldown).
High indicates an I

C Device Address Change Procedure
• Write to device address change enable register, 0xF8 with a value of 0xF9 A5 A5 A5.
• Write to device register 0xF9 with a value of 0x0000 00XX, where XX is the new address.
• Any writes after that should use the new device address XX.
SINGLE-FILTER PBTL MODE
The TAS5713 supports parallel BTL (PBTL) mode with OUT_A/OUT_B (and OUT_C/OUT_D) connected before
the LC filter. In order to put the part in PBTL configuration, drive PBTL (pin 8) HIGH. This synchronizes the
turnoff of half-bridges A and B (and similarly C/D) if an overcurrent condition is detected in either half-bridge.
There is a pulldown resistor on the PBTL pin that configures the part in BTL mode if the pin is left floating.
PWM output multiplexers should be updated to set the device in PBTL mode. Output Mux Register (0x25) should
be written with a value of 0x01 10 32 45. Also, the PWM shutdown register (0x19) should be written with a value
of 0x3A.
DEVICE PROTECTION SYSTEM
Overcurrent (OC) Protection With Current Limiting
The device has independent, fast-reacting current detectors on all high-side and low-side power-stage FETs. The
detector outputs are closely monitored by two protection systems. The first protection system controls the power
stage in order to prevent the output current further increasing, i.e., it performs a cycle-by-cycle current-limiting
function, rather than prematurely shutting down during combinations of high-level music transients and extreme
