Note 1: L-PRO2 is fully protected for ZL < ZL Min. Connection of loads < ZL Min is not recommended as a low load impedance in
combination with the amplifier current limit will limit maxim output power.

* Using the L-PRO2 Amplifier module in BTL mode (Bridge Tied Load) is not allowed, as the two output channels have asymmetrical

will violate the 8.3W total output power limit. Use the typical Voltage levels from Table 2-5 in combination with the actual load
currents to calculate the total power consumption. The calculated total power consumption must comply with the 8.3W total output
power limit.

4 Control and readout specification

4.1 Control pins

– When muting the L-PRO2 modules, the amplifier outputs will be disabled. It typically takes 0.5ms
to disable and only 1ms to enable the amplifier. The mute function may be used with an external wake-
on-music circuit that is lowering the mains power consumption when the module is not in use. Even with
the wake-on-music functionality used, the module will be ready to play within 1ms (typically).

– With the L-PRO2 modules in standby the mains power consumption is put to a minimum. In
standby it is possible to comply with the ErP directive (1275/2008/EC) & Energy Star specification with a
total power consumption of less than 0.5W. This includes a current draw of up to 25mA on the +7.5V
supply for external standby control circuitry.

Signal_Present – This signal is part of the “Wake on Music” function built into the L-PRO2 modules. If left
open the signal is internally pulled high and “Wake on Music” is not used. If pulled low continuously for a
selectable amount of time set by the “Signal Time Out Select” the amplifiers will first be muted to save
power but are still able to be un-muted within 1ms. If signal present continues to be low the L-PRO2 series
module will enter standby mode. The L-PRO2 series module exits standby mode as soon as the signal
present signal is released and is ready within typically 660ms.

A suitable circuit for sensing the audio with a sensitivity of 4mVrms and controlling the Signal_Present pin
can be found in the L-PRO2 Series Application Manual.

Signal_TimeOut – This signal is part of the “Wake on Music” function built into the L-PRO2 series modules.
Placing a resistor from this pin to GND makes it possible to choose between 3 different timing settings.
See the L-PRO2 Series Application Manual for details.

T-Vsel/SMPS_OL – This pin can be either an input or an output depending on the selected timing resistor
connected to Signal_TimeOut (pin 14) described above. In the Temp/VAC mode, it will be an input pin –
possible to toggle – allowing to read out either the mains voltage or amplifier temperature in real-time. In
the Low Rail mode, it is an output pin indicating whether the (+/-85V) rail voltages are below +/-70V, or
not – useful for a Front End circuit to activate a limiter that prevents the rail voltages from being pulled
below the level where sound will disappear temporarily.

L-PRO2_Data_Sheet-1_0 Page 14 of 24
4.2 Readout pins
The L-PRO2 has various readouts to monitor the state of the module.

Temp/VAC_Out – Amplifier temperature or mains voltage readout; by toggling a control-pin, either mains
voltage, or amplifier temperature can be read real-time.

 Amplifier temperature – The output stage temperature from 0-100°C is expressed as a DC voltage
from 0-3.3V. When the module enters thermal protection at 85°C, equivalent to 2.805V, the
voltage will jump to 3.3 V indicating thermal protection is active. This makes it possible to both
read the live temperature and read when the module is disabled due to thermal protection. The
module exits thermal protection when the temperature drops below 80°C and after a minimum of
10s delay has passed – the amplifiers will be re-enabled, and the temperature readout returns to
a read out of the actual maximum temperature.

 Mains voltage – The AC mains voltage from 85-265VAC is expressed as a DC voltage from 0.213V
to 2.925V.

Amplifier Output Voltage readout – There are two amplifier output voltage readouts Vout_Monitor_Ch1 and
Vout_Monitor_Ch2, one for each channel. These readouts are voltage divisions of the output signals in the
range of ±10 Vp corresponding to ±82Vp at the output.

Amplifier Clip readout – There are two amplifier clip readouts, Clip_1 and Clip_2. These readouts are open-
collector outputs. Each readout pin will be pulled low if the audio output voltage of the corresponding
channel becomes too high compared to the internal rail voltages (Voltage Clipping), or if the amplifier
reaches internal current protection. This readout may be used for signal clip/limiting indications.

_ / – This readout is an open-collector output which will be pulled low when the module is
either muted or has entered an internal protection.

L-PRO2_Data_Sheet-1_0 Page 15 of 24
5 Protection features
The L-PRO2 has built-in protection features to protect the amplifier module against abuse/extreme use
scenarios, and to protect the speaker drivers from being damaged in case of a malfunction.

Temperature – Temperature protection of the power supply and amplifiers is implemented to prevent the
module from thermal runaway. When thermal protection is engaged both amplifiers are muted until the
temperature has dropped 5°C, or for a minimum of 10s.

Over Current – If an amplifier output is shorted or reaches its current limit, the clip readout will be
activated to allow an external limiter/DSP to limit the input signal. If the limiter is not capable of limiting
the signal, the module will enter over-current protection and mute the amplifier output(s) until the
internal protection timing allows the module to re-enable the amplifier(s).

DC Protection – If DC-voltage is detected at one of the amplifier outputs, the L-PRO2 module mutes the
outputs. If DC still is present after 3 cycles, the L-PRO2 DC protection circuit switches off the +/-85V
power supply. Resetting of the latched protection circuit requires cycling of the AC mains.

HF Protection – A high frequency protection is implemented to protect the amplifier output filter
components from overload – refer to Figure 3-18. If a high frequency (and high amplitude) signal is
present for a longer period, the module will enter HF protection and mute (both) amplifier output(s) until
the internal protection timing allows the module to re-enable the amplifier(s).

Name Pin # I/O
Ch1 (LF) negative signal of the balanced audio input to the L-PRO2
Ch1_In- 1 I
module. The maximum allowable signal on this pin is ±20Vp.
Ch1 (LF) positive signal of the balanced audio input to the L-PRO2
Ch1_In+ 2 I
module. The maximum allowable signal on this pin is ±20Vp.
This pin is a general-purpose GND. Shall be connected to Front End
GND 3 -
ground plane.
Ch2 (HF) negative audio input signal of the balanced input to the L-
Ch2_In- 4 I1
PRO2 module. The maximum allowable signal on this pin is ±20Vp.
Ch2 (HF) positive audio input signal of the balanced input to the L-
Ch2_In+ 5 I1
PRO2 module. The maximum allowable signal on this pin is ±20Vp.
By default, this pin reads out the highest temperature of the two
amplifier channels, or the +/-85V power supply rectifier diodes in the
range of 0-3.3V corresponding to 0°C-100°C. The pin will read out 3.3V
when in temperature protection.
Temp/VAC_Out 6 O
Alternatively, this pin can be used to read out the AC mains voltage
from 85-265VAC, expressed as a DC voltage from 0.213V to 2.925V.
T-V_Sel/SMPS_OL (pin 15), is used to select either temperature
(default), or AC mains readout.
This pin reads out the amplifier channel 1 output voltage. The signal
will be in the range ±10Vp corresponding to ±82Vp on the output of
Vout_Monitor_Ch1 7 O
the amplifier. The signal has a high impedance and requires a buffer if
used.
This pin reads out the amplifier channel 2 output voltage. The signal
will be in the range ±10Vp corresponding to ±82Vp on the output of
Vout_Monitor_Ch2 8 O1
the amplifier. The signal has a high impedance and requires a buffer if
used.
This pin signals an active low whenever the amplifier Ch1 (LF) is
Clıp_1 9 O
voltage clipping, or current clipping.
This pin signals an active low whenever the amplifier Ch2 (HF) is
Clıp_2 10 O
voltage clipping, or current clipping.
This pin signals an active low whenever the amplifier channel 1 and
Dıs_Read/Protect 11 O
channel 2 are disabled or in protection.
This signal is part of the “Wake on Music” function built into the L-
PRO2 series modules. If left open the signal is internally pulled high
and “Wake on Music” is not used. If pulled low continuously for a
selectable amount of time set by the “Signal Time Out Select” the
Signal_Present 12 - amplifier(s) will first mute to save power but still be able to un-mute
within 1ms. If the signal present continues to be low the L-PRO2 series
module will enter standby mode. The L-PRO2 series module exits
standby mode as soon as the Signal_Present pin is released, and the
module is ready within typically 660ms.
An open-collector must be used to actively pull this pin low whenever
Mute 13 I the module must disable/Mute. When released the module is ready
within (typically) 1ms.
3 different power safe mode timings can be selected by connecting a
resistor of a specified value from the Signal_TimeOut pin to GND. See
Signal_TimeOut 14 I Table 6-3 for a list of resistor values and corresponding timings. If the
Signal Present input is not used the Signal_TimeOut pin can be left
unconnected.
This pin can be either an input or an output depending on the selected
T-V_Sel/SMPS_OL 15 I/O
timing resistor connected to Signal_TimeOut (pin 14).

L-PRO2_Data_Sheet-1_0 Page 20 of 24
 If timing resistor T1, T2 or T3 is selected (see Table 6-3) it will be an
input pin where it is possible to select either temperature or AC mains
readout for the signal Temp/Vac_Mon (pin 6). If pin 15 is left un-
connected, the internal pull-up will by default select temperature as
the read out on pin 6. If pin 15 is actively pulled low by an open-
collector, the mains RMS voltage will be the read out on pin 6.
If timing resistor T1(Low Rail), T2(Low Rail) or T3(Low Rail) is selected
(see Table 6-3) it will be an output pin that indicates whether the (+/-
85V) the rail voltage is below approximately +/-70V.
An open-collector must be used to actively pull this pin low whenever
Standby 16 I/O the module must enter standby mode. When released the module is
ready within a few seconds.
