THS4524-EP_17 Datasheet, PDF (32/48 Pages) Texas Instruments – VERY LOW POWER, NEGATIVE RAIL INPUT, RAIL-TO-RAIL OUTPUT, FULLY DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER

THS4524-EP
SBOS609A – JUNE 2012 – REVISED AUGUST 2013
Audio On/Off Pop Performance
The THS4524 was tested to show on and off pop
performance by connecting a speaker between the
differential outputs and switching the power supply on
and off, and also by using the PD function of the
THS4524. Testing was done with and without tones.
During these tests, no audible pop could be heard.
With no tone input, Figure 73 shows the pop
performance when switching power on to the
THS4524 and Figure 74 shows the device
performance when turning the power off. The
transients during power on and off illustrate that no
audible pop should be heard

With no tone input, Figure 75 shows the pop
performance using the PD pin to enable the
THS4524, and Figure 76 shows performance using
the PD pin to disable the device. Again, the transients
during power on and off show that no audible pop
should be heard. It should also be noted that the turn
on/off times are faster using the PD pin technique.

Performance
The power on/off pop performance of the THS4524,
whether by switching the power supply or when using
the power-down function built into the chip, shows
that no special design should be required to prevent
an audible pop.
