The plug interface for the ICE250A modules has two industry standard connectors that have been selected for long term reliability. One power Molex Micro-FitTM connector is used for power input and speaker output and one JST signal PH-connector is used for low level power supply, audio input and module control. The pin interface is implemented with specially developed flexible pins that can tolerate significant stress. Power Connector Specification

The balanced input section provides signal buffering and anti-alias filtering. The balanced configuration helps to avoid humm and noise pick-up. Unbalanced input can be set up applying a short between Viand analog ground. The anti-alias filter bandwidth is 100kHz and the filter characteristic is shaped to match the power amplification section to provide and overall 80kHz power amplifier bandwidth. The input impedance of the input section is approximately 8k over the audio bandwidth. This should be an acceptable loading condition for pre-amps, active crossover outputs etc. Output Stage The output stage is a bridge topology with a 2nd order filter. This leads to a balanced power output on the terminals Vo+ and Vo-. The filter design is part of the proprietary MECC topology and chosen as a compromise between demodulation, efficiency and filter volume.

Output filter
Figure 3: Output filter section with compensating Zobel network The essential output characteristics are: Output impedance is below 25m @20kHz The output residual basically consists of single frequency component at the carrier fundamental of approximately 400kHz. In a standard application set-up the output characteristics lead to compliance with the EN and FCC directives. System bandwidth is 80khz in 8 . ICE250A is designed to be intolerant to loading characteristics with low output impedance at all frequencies (see frequency response under performance characteristics). The low output impedance/high damping factor means that the device can drive many types of loads. This goes for a wide span of resistive/inductive loads as typical speakers. Even heavily inductive subwoofer loads are well driven by the device without any additional compensation needed. However, care should be taken in pure capacitive loads. The ICE250A is designed to be stable for capacitive loads up to 470nF. Higher capacitive loads may compromise stability and thus damage the device. Notice! The balanced Speaker outputs are both hot with a common-mode DC level equal to Vp/2. Shorting one of the terminals to ground results in an over current situation. Also, balanced probes should be used for monitoring and measurements.

Operational timing diagram
ICE250A
The ICE250A is controlled by the power supply input pins, the Standby pin and the Mute pin. If the supplies are not at their minimum values the amplifier will go into standby mode. The amplifier can be forced to standby mode by pulling the standby pin low. The Mute pin will not stop the switching of the amplifier, but attenuates the output signal with 60dB.

Figure 6 Interface and simplified internal circuit for the MUTE pin Timing specifications is only valid with the shown interface. Standby control The Standby pin can be used to put the module in a low power consumption mode. The standby mode is obtained by pulling the standby pin low. This function allows quick shutdown of the module and can be used for protection of the module. The recommended external circuit is shown on Figure 7. The timings given in the specifications are only valid with the interface circuit shown on Figure 7

Thermal design
Thermal design is generally a huge concern in power amplifier systems. Inefficient linear designs are generally equipped with extensive heat sinks to keep the transistor junction temperature down. ICE250A is based on very efficient ICEpower Analog technology providing high overall efficiency characteristics at all levels of operation. See efficiency vs. output power under typical performance characteristics. Part of the component philosophy of the Aseries is to provide a self-cooled component thus eliminating the need for special attention to thermal design. The thermal resistance of the full component is 3K/W allowing a maximal loss of P loss 20W continuos in the worst case situation with an ambient temperature of 40 deg. This corresponds to a continuos average output loading of the device of 80100W, which is very unlikely to occur in any practical application with music loading. It should be noticed that this is only valid for a open environment. This applies only for in ventilated environments. For extreme loading requirements with continuos average loading above 60W typical or in closed environments and ambient temperatures above 40 C we recommend the module edition for heatsink mounting. With 2K/W Rthj,rib the heat-sink can be designed using normal thermal design considerations. See more detailed application information on thermal design in the developer kit Product development with ICEpower.
