Figure 26. TPA701 Application Circuit
The following sections discuss the selection of the components used in Figure 26.

The gain for each audio input of the TPA701 is set by resistors R

and R

according to equation 5 for BTL mode.

BTL mode operation brings about the factor 2 in the gain equation due to the inverting amplifier mirroring the
voltage swing across the load. Given that the TPA701 is a MOS amplifier, the input impedance is very high;
consequently input leakage currents are not generally a concern, although noise in the circuit increases as the
value of R
F
increases. In addition, a certain range of R
F
values is required for proper start-up operation of the
amplifier. Taken together, it is recommended that the effective impedance seen by the inverting node of the
amplifier be set between 5 kΩ and 20 kΩ. The effective impedance is calculated in equation 6.
