I'm making an amplifier using the TPA3123 class D amplifier IC (http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tpa3123d2.pdf) and I'm using it in a bridge tied configuration. The recommended circuit of the TPA3123 (Figure 1) and my circuit (Figure 2) can be seen below. I have used a bit different values in the output filter but those are the recommended values for a 4 Ohm load as seen in the datasheet. My problem is that when connecting the input I get a very low volume on the output regardless what the gain is set to. But when I tried connecting both of my input channels into LCH and grounding RCH, the volume is normal. Does anyone have any idea what could cause this? Thanks Figure 1: Recommended circuit Figure2: My circuit |

In bridge mode your using both half's of the amp to make 1 more powerfull amplifier instead of a less powerfull 2 channel amp.If you look at the top circuit the input and outputs are marked as + and - not left and right. |

I see, then how should I connect my source with a left and right channel? AFAICT In BTL mode you only have 1 power channel and have to use the +/- (L/R) inputs as 1 differential input channel, = one has to be inverted phase. |
