TRANSCRIPT
LM48991 Watt Fully Differential Audio Power Amplifier WithShutdown Select and Fixed 6dB GainGeneral DescriptionThe LM4899 is a fully differential audio power amplifierprimarily designed for demanding applications in mobilephones and other portable communication device applica-tions. It is capable of delivering 1 watt of continuous averagepower to an 8Ω load with less than 1% distortion (THD+N)from a 5VDC power supply.
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically toprovide high quality output power with a minimal amount ofexternal components. The LM4899 does not require outputcoupling capacitors or bootstrap capacitors, and therefore isideally suited for mobile phone and other low voltage appli-cations where minimal power consumption is a primary re-quirement.
The LM4899 features a low-power consumption shutdownmode. To facilitate this, Shutdown may be enabled by eitherlogic high or low depending on mode selection. Driving theshutdown mode pin either high or low enables the shutdownselect pin to be driven in a likewise manner to enable Shut-down. Additionally, the LM4899 features an internal thermalshutdown protection mechanism.
The LM4899 contains advanced pop & click circuitry whichvirtually eliminates noises which would otherwise occur dur-ing turn-on and turn-off transitions.
The LM4899 has an internally fixed gain of 6dB.

Application Information
DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER EXPLANATION
The LM4899 is a fully differential audio amplifier that fea-tures differential input and output stages. Internally this isaccomplished by two circuits: a differential amplifier and acommon mode feedback amplifier that adjusts the outputvoltages so that the average value remains VDD/2. TheLM4899 features precisely matched internal gain-setting re-sistors, thus eliminating the need for external resistors andfixing the differential gain at AVD = 6dB.
A differential amplifier works in a manner where the differ-ence between the two input signals is amplified. In mostapplications, this would require input signals that are 180˚out of phase with each other.
The LM4899 provides what is known as a "bridged mode"output (bridge-tied-load, BTL). This results in output signalsat Vo1 and Vo2 that are 180˚ out of phase with respect toeach other. Bridged mode operation is different from thesingle-ended amplifier configuration that connects the loadbetween the amplifier output and ground. A bridged amplifierdesign has distinct advantages over the single-ended con-figuration: it provides differential drive to the load, thus dou-bling maximum possible output swing for a specific supplyvoltage. Four times the output power is possible comparedwith a single-ended amplifier under the same conditions.This increase in attainable output power assumes that theamplifier is not current limited or clipped.
A bridged configuration, such as the one used in theLM4899, also creates a second advantage over single-ended amplifiers. Since the differential outputs, Vo1 and Vo2,are biased at half-supply, no net DC voltage exists acrossthe load. BTL configuration eliminates the output couplingcapacitor required in single-supply, single-ended amplifierconfigurations. If an output coupling capacitor is not used ina single-ended output configuration, the half-supply biasacross the load would result in both increased internal ICpower dissipation as well as permanent loudspeaker dam-age. Further advantages of bridged mode operation specificto fully differential amplifiers like the LM4899 include in-creased power supply rejection ratio, common-mode noisereduction, and click and pop reduction.
EXPOSED-DAP PACKAGE PCB MOUNTINGCONSIDERATIONS
The LM4899’s exposed-DAP (die attach paddle) package(LD) provide a low thermal resistance between the die andthe PCB to which the part is mounted and soldered. Thisallows rapid heat transfer from the die to the surroundingPCB copper traces, ground plane and, finally, surroundingair. The result is a low voltage audio power amplifier thatproduces 1.4W at ≤ 1% THD with a 4Ω load. This high poweris achieved through careful consideration of necessary ther-mal design. Failing to optimize thermal design may compro-mise the LM4899’s high power performance and activateunwanted, though necessary, thermal shutdown protection.The LD package must have its DAP soldered to a copperpad on the PCB. The DAP’s PCB copper pad is connected toa large plane of continuous unbroken copper. This planeforms a thermal mass and heat sink and radiation area.Place the heat sink area on either outside plane in the caseof a two-sided PCB, or on an inner layer of a board with more
than two layers. Connect the DAP copper pad to the innerlayer or backside copper heat sink area with 4 (2x2) vias.The via diameter should be 0.012in - 0.013in with a 0.050inpitch. Ensure efficient thermal conductivity by plating-through and solder-filling the vias.
Best thermal performance is achieved with the largest prac-tical copper heat sink area. If the heatsink and amplifiershare the same PCB layer, a nominal 2.5in2 (min) area isnecessary for 5V operation with a 4Ω load. Heatsink areasnot placed on the same PCB layer as the LM4899 should be5in2 (min) for the same supply voltage and load resistance.The last two area recommendations apply for 25˚C ambienttemperature. In all circumstances and conditions, the junc-tion temperature must be held below 150˚C to prevent acti-vating the LM4899’s thermal shutdown protection. TheLM4899’s power de-rating curve in the Typical PerformanceCharacteristics shows the maximum power dissipation ver-sus temperature. Example PCB layouts for the exposed-DAP TSSOP and LLP packages are shown in the Demon-stration Board Layout section. Further detailed and specificinformation concerning PCB layout, fabrication, and mount-ing an LLP package is available from National Semiconduc-tor’s package Engineering Group under application note AN-1187.
PCB LAYOUT AND SUPPLY REGULATIONCONSIDERATIONS FOR DRIVING 3Ω AND 4Ω LOADS
Power dissipated by a load is a function of the voltage swingacross the load and the load’s impedance. As load imped-ance decreases, load dissipation becomes increasingly de-pendent on the interconnect (PCB trace and wire) resistancebetween the amplifier output pins and the load’s connec-tions. Residual trace resistance causes a voltage drop,which results in power dissipated in the trace and not in theload as desired. For example, 0.1Ω trace resistance reducesthe output power dissipated by a 4Ω load from 1.4W to1.37W. This problem of decreased load dissipation is exac-erbated as load impedance decreases. Therefore, to main-tain the highest load dissipation and widest output voltageswing, PCB traces that connect the output pins to a loadmust be as wide as possible.
Poor power supply regulation adversely affects maximumoutput power. A poorly regulated supply’s output voltagedecreases with increasing load current. Reduced supplyvoltage causes decreased headroom, output signal clipping,and reduced output power. Even with tightly regulated sup-plies, trace resistance creates the same effects as poorsupply regulation. Therefore, making the power supplytraces as wide as possible helps maintain full output voltageswing.
POWER DISSIPATION
Power dissipation is a major concern when designing asuccessful amplifer, whether the amplifier is bridged orsingle-ended. Equation 2 states the maximum power dissi-pation point for a single-ended amplifier operating at a givensupply voltage and driving a specified output load.
PDMAX = (VDD)2 / (2π2RL) Single-Ended (1)
LM48

Application Information (Continued)
However, a direct consequence of the increased power de-livered to the load by a bridge amplifier is an increase ininternal power dissipation versus a single-ended amplifieroperating at the same conditions.
PDMAX = 4*(VDD)2 / (2π2RL) Bridge Mode (2)
Since the LM4899 has bridged outputs, the maximum inter-nal power dissipation is 4 times that of a single-ended am-plifier. Even with this substantial increase in power dissipa-tion, the LM4899 does not require additional heatsinkingunder most operating conditions and output loading. FromEquation 3, assuming a 5V power supply and an 8Ω load,the maximum power dissipation point is 625mW. The maxi-mum power dissipation point obtained from Equation 3 mustnot be greater than the power dissipation results from Equa-tion 4:
PDMAX = (TJMAX - TA) / θJA (3)
The LM4899’s θJA in an MUA10A package is 190˚C/W.Depending on the ambient temperature, TA, of the systemsurroundings, Equation 4 can be used to find the maximuminternal power dissipation supported by the IC packaging. Ifthe result of Equation 3 is greater than that of Equation 4,then either the supply voltage must be decreased, the loadimpedance increased, the ambient temperature reduced, orthe θJA reduced with heatsinking. In many cases, largertraces near the output, VDD, and GND pins can be used tolower the θJA. The larger areas of copper provide a form ofheatsinking allowing higher power dissipation. For the typicalapplication of a 5V power supply, with an 8Ω load, themaximum ambient temperature possible without violating themaximum junction temperature is approximately 30˚C pro-vided that device operation is around the maximum powerdissipation point. Recall that internal power dissipation is afunction of output power. If typical operation is not around themaximum power dissipation point, the LM4899 can operateat higher ambient temperatures. Refer to the Typical Per-formance Characteristics curves for power dissipation in-formation.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
As with any power amplifier, proper supply bypassing iscritical for low noise performance and high power supplyrejection ratio (PSRR). The capacitor location on both the
bypass and power supply pins should be as close to thedevice as possible. A larger half-supply bypass capacitorimproves PSRR because it increases half-supply stability.Typical applications employ a 5V regulator with 10µF and0.1µF bypass capacitors that increase supply stability. This,however, does not eliminate the need for bypassing thesupply nodes of the LM4899. Although the LM4899 willoperate without the bypass capacitor CB, although the PSRRmay decrease. A 1µF capacitor is recommended for CB. Thisvalue maximizes PSRR performance. Lesser values may beused, but PSRR decreases at frequencies below 1kHz. Theissue of CB selection is thus dependant upon desired PSRRand click and pop performance.
SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, theLM4899 contains shutdown circuitry that is used to turn offthe amplifier’s bias circuitry. In addition, the LM4899 con-tains a Shutdown Mode pin, allowing the designer to desig-nate whether the part will be driven into shutdown with a highlevel logic signal or a low level logic signal. This allows thedesigner maximum flexibility in device use, as the ShutdownMode pin may simply be tied permanently to either VDD orGND to set the LM4899 as either a "shutdown-high" deviceor a "shutdown-low" device, respectively. The device maythen be placed into shutdown mode by toggling the Shut-down Select pin to the same state as the Shutdown Modepin. For simplicity’s sake, this is called "shutdown same", asthe LM4899 enters shutdown mode whenever the two pinsare in the same logic state. The trigger point for eithershutdown high or shutdown low is shown as a typical valuein the Supply Current vs Shutdown Voltage graphs in theTypical Performance Characteristics section. It is best toswitch between ground and supply for maximum perfor-mance. While the device may be disabled with shutdownvoltages in between ground and supply, the idle current maybe greater than the typical value of 0.1µA. In either case, theshutdown pin should be tied to a definite voltage to avoidunwanted state changes.
In many applications, a microcontroller or microprocessoroutput is used to control the shutdown circuitry, which pro-vides a quick, smooth transition to shutdown. Another solu-tion is to use a single-throw switch in conjunction with anexternal pull-up resistor (or pull-down, depending on shut-down high or low application). This scheme guarantees thatthe shutdown pin will not float, thus preventing unwantedstate changes.
