Texas Instruments TPA0132 Data Sheet
Summary
The TPA0132 is a high-performance, compact stereo audio power amplifier designed for simplified integration in portable and consumer electronics. Delivering 2.8W continuous RMS per channel into 3Ω loads, it features built-in depop circuitry and advanced controls like DC Volume Management (20 dB to -40 dB). Its PowerPAD package ensures superior thermal dissipation in minimal space, making it ideal for audio designers who require ultra-low THD+N performance without complex external components.

DESCRIPTION
The TPA0132 is stereo audio power amplifier in 24-pin TSSOP thermally enhanced package capable of
delivering 2.8 of continuous RMS power per channel into 3-Ω loads.
This device minimizes the number of external components needed, which simplifies the design and frees up
board space for other features. When driving into 8-Ω speakers, the TPA0132 has less than 0.4% THD+N
across its specified frequency range. Included within this device is integrated depop circuitry that virtually
eliminates transients that cause noise in the speakers.
Amplifier gain is controlled by means of dc voltage input on the VOLUME terminal. There are discrete steps
covering the range of d B (maximum volume setting) to -40 d B (minimum volume setting) in 2-d B steps. When
the VOLUME terminal exceeds 3.54 V, the device is muted. An internal input MUX allows two sets of stereo
inputs to the amplifier. In notebook applications, where internal speakers are driven as bridge-tied load (BTL) and
the line outputs (often headphone drive) are required to be single-ended (SE), the TPA0132 automatically
switches into SE mode when the SE/BTL input is activated, and this effectively reduces the gain by d B.
The TPA0132 consumes only m A of supply current during normal operation. shutdown mode is included
that reduces the supply current to µA.
The Power PAD package (PWP) delivers level of thermal performance that was previously achievable only in
TO-220-type packages. Thermal impedances of approximately 35°C/W are readily realized in multilayer PCB
applications. This allows the TPA0132 to operate at full power into 8-Ω loads at ambient temperatures of 85°C.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum continuous power output per channel?
The TPA0132 can deliver 2.8 W of continuous RMS power per channel into 3-Ω loads.
How does the device manage different speaker loading modes (SE/BTL)?
When the SE/BTL input is activated, the amplifier automatically switches to single-ended (SE) mode, which reduces the gain by 6 dB.
What are the steps and range of volume control?
The DC Volume Control offers 31 discrete steps across a range from 20 dB (maximum) down to -40 dB (minimum), in 2-dB increments.
What safety precautions should be taken during handling?
Due to limited built-in ESD protection, leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam for storage and handling.
