GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
The ft2923 is a highly
efficient 4.5W boosted Class-G
stereo audio power amplifier
with automatic level
control (ALC) and battery
tracking AGC. It integrates
dual filterless Class-D audio amplifiers with an
adaptive
Class-G synchronous boost regulator and operates
with a wide range of supply voltages from 3V to 5.25V.
When operating with 3.6V supply voltage, it can deliver
into a pair of 4Ω speakers at a maximum output power
of 4.5W per channel with 10% THD+N, or at an ALC
output power of 3.4W per channel.
In ft2923, the power supply rail of the audio
amplifier’s
output stages is internally boosted by a synchronous
PWM switching regulator with two integrated power
switches. The boost regulator employs current mode
PWM control with proprietary Class-G operation to
regulate the boosted voltage in response to the level of
audio outputs.
The ft2923 features ALC function to constantly monitor
audio outputs against the supply voltage applied to the
audio amplifier’s output stage, thus safeguarding
against output clipping distortion, excessive power
dissipation, and speaker over-load. Once an over-level
condition is detected in either channel, the ALC lowers
the voltage gain of both audio amplifiers proportionally
to eliminate output clipping.
In conjunction with ALC, the battery tracking AGC
lowers the voltage gain of the audio amplifiers to limit
the maximum audio outputs as the battery supply
voltage drops lower than a prescribed value, preventing
the collapse of battery voltage.
