Introduction
The IRAUDAMP17 reference design is a two-channel, 100W/ch (4 Ω/52V Bus voltage) half-bridge
Class D audio power amplifier with single power supply. This reference design demonstrates how to
use the IR4302 IC with single power supply, implement protection circuits, and design an optimum
PCB layout using PowIRaudio integrated Class D IC. This reference design does not require
additional heatsink or fan cooling for normal operation (one-eighth of continuous rated power).The
reference design provides all the required housekeeping power supplies for ease of use. The two-
channel design is scalable for power and the number of channels.

Applications

 AV receivers
 Home theater systems
 Mini component stereos
 Powered speakers
 Sub-woofers
 Musical Instrument amplifiers
 Car audio amplifiers

Features

Output Power: 100W x 2 channels (10%THD+N 4Ω load; with heatsink),

Multiple Protection Features:
PWM Modulator:
60W x 2 channels (10%THD+N 4Ω load; no heatsink),
Over-current protection (OCP), high side and low side
Over-voltage protection (OVP),
Under-voltage protection (UVP), high side and low side
Over-temperature protection (OTP)
Self-oscillating half-bridge topology

Test Procedures
Test Setup:

1. Connect 4, 250W load to both output connectors, P1 and P2 and audio analyzer (Ap).
2. Connect Audio Signal Generator to CN1 for CH1 and CH2 respectively (Ap).
3. Connect a single power supply to P3 pre-adjusted to 40-52V as shown on Figure above
4. Turn on the power supply.
5. Turn on SW1 (right side).
6. Blue LED (Normal) stays turning on after RED LED extinguished.
7. With an Oscilloscope, monitor switching waveform at VS of CH1 and CH2.
8. Quiescent current for the power supply should be 70mA 10mA at 52V.

Functionality Audio Tests:

9. Sweep the audio signal voltage from 15 mVRMS to 1.5 VRMS.

10. Monitor the output signals at P1/P2 with an oscilloscope. The waveform must be a non
distorted sinusoidal signal with input sinusoidal signal below 1Vrms.
