All values listed are for ceramic capacitors. The correction factor of 2 is included in the values.
The TPA2014D1 is a high-performance Class-D audio amplifier that requires adequate power supply decoupling

Place
a
low
equivalent-series-resistance (ESR) ceramic capacitor, typically 1
F as close as possible to the device VDD lead.
This choice of capacitor and placement helps with higher frequency transients, spikes, or digital hash on the line.
Additionally, placing this decoupling capacitor close to the TPA2014D1 is important for the efficiency of the
Class-D amplifier, because any resistance or inductance in the trace between the device and the capacitor can
cause a loss in efficiency. Place a capacitor of 10
F or greater between the power supply and the boost
inductor. The capacitor filters out high frequency noise. More importantly, it acts as a charge reservoir, providing
energy more quickly than the board supply, thus helping to prevent any droop.
The TPA2014D1 does not require input coupling capacitors if the design uses a differential source that is biased
within the common mode input range. Use input coupling capacitors if the input signal is not biased within the
recommended common-mode input range, if high pass filtering is needed, or if using a single-ended source.
The input capacitors and input resistors form a high-pass filter with the corner frequency, fc, determined in
The value of the input capacitor is important because it directly affects the bass (low frequency) performance of
the circuit. Speakers in wireless phones does not usually respond well to low frequencies, so the corner
frequency can be set to block low frequencies in this application. Not using input capacitors can increase output
offset.
Use
Equation 7 to find the required the input coupling capacitance.
Any mismatch in capacitance between the two inputs will cause a mismatch in the corner frequencies. Choose
capacitors with a tolerance of ±10% or better.
