TPS4100A – KL/Rev. 1.1/11.05

currents that can overheat the integrated MOSFETs and/or other components. The RC dampens the

peaking and prevents problems.

It is highly recommended that the design process for a TPS4100A amplifier include an analysis of the

interaction of intended speaker(s) with the LC filter and RC damper to ensure the desired frequency

response is attained. Component values for the LC filter and RC damper may need to be altered from the

Tripath suggestions to achieve the required response.
