APPLICATION INFORMATION
InputCapacitor
Input capacitor is PNP type allowing source to be
referencedto ground.
In this way no input couplingcapacitor is required.
However, a series capacitor (0.22 uF)to the input
sidecan be useful incase of noise due to variable
resistor contact.
Bootstrap
The bootstrap connection allows to increase the
output swing.
The suggested value for the bootstrapcapacitors
(100uF) avoids a reduction of the output signal
alsoat low frequenciesand low supply voltages.
Voltage Gain Adjust
STEREOMODE
The voltage gain is determined by on-chip resis-
tors R1 and R2 together with the external RfC1
seriesconnected betweenpin 6 (11) and ground.
The frequency response is given approximated
by:

JWC1
With Rf=0, C1=100 uF, the gain results 46 dB
with pole at f=32Hz.
THE purpose of Rf is to reduce the gain. It is rec-
ommendedto not reduce it under 36 dB.
BRIDGE MODE
Figure 7
The bridge configuration is realized very easily
thanks to an internal voltage divider which pro-
vides(at pin 1) the CH 1 outputsignal after reduc-
tion. It is enough to connect pin 6 (inverting input
of CH 2) with a capacitor to pin 1 and to connect
to ground the pin7.
The total gain of the bridge is given by:

Pop Noise
Most amplifiers similar to TEA 2025B need exter-
nal resistors between DC outputs and ground in
order to optimize the pop on/off performance and
crossoverdistortion.
Figure 9
The TEA 2025B solution allows to save compo-
nents because of such resistors (800 ohm)are in-
cluded into the chip.
