According to TI's application notes, a 10uF capacitor in parallel with a 100nF capacitor is recommended for power supply decoupling to ensure stability and minimize noise.
The gain setting depends on the specific application and desired output power. TI recommends using the gain setting formula provided in the datasheet and adjusting it based on the output power and impedance of the load.
The TPA2001D1PWR can handle up to 10W of continuous power and 20W of peak power. However, the actual power handling capability depends on the thermal design and heat sinking of the system.
Proper heat sinking, thermal design, and thermal monitoring are crucial to prevent overheating. TI recommends using a heat sink with a thermal resistance of less than 10°C/W and monitoring the device temperature using the thermal shutdown feature.
TI recommends a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane, and keeping the power supply and output traces as short and wide as possible to minimize noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
