DESCRIPTION
The LM4680 is a high efficiency switching audio
power amplifier primarily designed for demanding
applications in flat panel monitors and TV’s. It is
capable of delivering 10W to an 8Ω mono BTL load
with less than 10% distortion (THD+N) when powered
from a 14VDC power supply.
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed
specifically to provide high quality output power with a
minimal amount of external components. The
LM4680 features a micro-power, active-low shutdown
mode, an internal thermal shutdown protection
mechanism, output fault detect, and short circuit
protection.
The LM4680 contains advanced transient (“pop and
click”) suppression circuitry that eliminates noises that
would otherwise occur during turn-on and turn-off
transitions.

GENERAL FEATURES
SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL INFORMATION
Modulation Technique
Unlike typical Class D amplifiers that use single-ended comparators to generate a pulse-width modulated
switching waveform and RC timing circuits to set the switching frequency, the LM4680 uses a balanced
differential floating modulator. Oscillation is a result of injecting complimentary currents onto the respective plates
of a floating, on-die capacitor. The value of the floating capacitor and value of the components in the modulator’s
feedback network and sets the nominal switching frequency at 450kHz. Modulation results from imbalances in
the injected currents. The amount of current imbalance is directly proportional to the applied input signal’s
magnitude and frequency.
Using a balanced, floating modulator produces a Class D amplifier that is immune to common mode noise
sources such as substrate noise. This noise occurs because of the high frequency, high current switching in the
amplifier’s output stage. The LM4680 is immune to this type of noise because the modulator, the components
that set its switching frequency, and even the load all float with respect to ground.
The balanced modulator’s pulse width modulated output drives the gates of the LM4680’s H-bridge configured
output power MOSFETs. The pulse-train present at the power MOSFETs’ output is applied to an LC low pass
filter that removes the 450kHz energy component. The filter’s output signal, which is applied to the driven load, is
an amplified replica of the audio input signal.
Shutdown Function
The LM4680’s active-low shutdown function allows the user to place the amplifier in a shutdown mode while the
system power supply remains active. Activating shutdown deactivates the output switching waveform and
minimizes the quiescent current. Applying logic 0 (GND) to pin 8 enables the shutdown function. Applying logic 1
(4V ≤ VLOGIC ≤ VDD) to pin 8 disables the shutdown function and restores full amplifier operation.
Under Voltage Proctection
The under voltage protection disables the output driver section of the LM4680 while the supply voltage is below
8V. This condition may occur as power is first applied or during low line conditions, changes in load resistance,
or when power supply sag occurs. The under voltage protection ensures that all of the LM4680’s power
MOSFETs are off. This action eliminates shoot-through current and minimizes output transients during turn-on
and turn-off. The under voltage protection gives the digital logic time to stabilize into known states, further
minimizing turn output transients.
Turn-On Time
The LM4680 has an internal timer that determines the amplifier’s turn-on time. After power is first applied or the
part returns from shutdown, the nominal turn-on time is 600ms. This delay allows all externally applied capacitors
to charge to a final value of VDD/2. Further, during turn-on, the outputs are muted. This minimizes output
transients that may occur while the part settles into is quiescent operating mode.
Output Stage Current Limit and Fault Detection Protection
The output stage MOSFETs are protected against output conditions that could otherwise compromise their
operational status. The first stage of protection is output current limiting. When conditions that require high
currents to drive a load, the LM4680’s current limit circuitry clamps the output current at a nominal value of 2.5A.
The output waveform is present, but may be clipped or its amplitude reduced. The same 2.5A nominal current
limit also occurs if the amplifier outputs are shorted together or either output is shorted to VDD or GND.
The second stage of protection is an onboard fault detection circuit that continuously monitors the signal on each
output MOSFET’s gate and compares it against the respective drain voltage. When a condition is detected that
violates a MOSFET’s Safe Operating Area (SOA) and the drive signal is disconnected from the output
MOSFETs’ gates. The fault detect circuit maintains this protective condition for approximately 600ms, at which
time the drive signal is reconnected. If the fault condition is no longer present, normal operation resumes. If the
fault condition remains, however, the drive signal is again disconnected.

Thermal Protection
The LM4680 has thermal shutdown circuitry that monitors the die temperature. Once the LM4680 die
temperature reaches 170°C, the LM4680 disables the output switching waveform and remains disabled until the
die temperature falls below 140°C (typ).
Over-Modulation Protection
The LM4680’s over-modulation protection is a result of the preamplifier’s (AMP1 and AMP2, Figure 2) inability to
produce signal magnitudes that equal the power supply voltages. Since the preamplifier’s output magnitude will
always be less than the supply voltage, the duty cycle of the amplifier’s switching output will never reach zero.
Peak modulation is limited to a nominal 95%.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
SUPPLY BYPASSING
Correct power supply bypassing has two important goals. The first is to reduce noise on the power supply lines
and minimize deleterious effects that the noise may cause to the amplifier’s operation. The second is to help
stabilize an unregulated power supply and to improve the supply’s transient response under heavy current
demands. These two goals require different capacitor value ranges. Therefore, various types and values are
recommended for supply bypassing. For noise de-coupling, generally small ceramic capacitors (0.01µF to 0.1µF)
are recommended. Larger value (1µF to 10µF) tantalum capacitors are needed for the transient current
demands. These two capacitors in parallel will do an adequate job of removing most noise from the supply rails
and providing the necessary transient current. These capacitors should be placed as close as possible to each
IC’s supply pin(s) using leads as short as possible.
The LM4680 has two VDD pins: a power VDD (PVDD) and a signal VDD (SVDD). The parallel combination of the low
value ceramic (0.1µF) and high value tantalum (10µF) should be used to bypass the PVDD pin. A small value
(0.1µF) ceramic or tantalum can be used to bypass the SVDD pin.
OUTPUT STAGE FILTERING
The LM4680 requires a low pass filter connected between the amplifier’s bridge output and the load. Figure 2
shows the recommended LC filter. A minimum value of 27µH is recommended. As shown in Figure 2, using the
values of the components connected between the amplifier BTL outputs and the load achieves a 2nd-order
lowpass filter response with a -3dB cutoff frequency of 25kHz.
THD+N MEASUREMENTS AND OUT OF AUDIO BAND NOISE
THD+N (Total Harmonic Distortion plus Noise) is a very important parameter by which all audio amplifiers are
measured. Often it is shown as a graph where either the output power or frequency is changed over the
operating range. A very important variable in the measurement of THD+N is the bandwidth-limiting filter at the
input of the test equipment. Class D amplifiers, by design, switch their output power devices at a much higher
frequency than the accepted audio range (20Hz - 20kHz). Alternately switching the output voltage between VDD
and GND allows the LM4680 to operate at much higher efficiency than that achieved by traditional Class AB
amplifiers. Switching the outputs at high frequency also increases the out-of-band noise. Under normal
circumstances the output lowpass filter significantly reduces this out-of-band noise. If the low pass filter is not
optimized for a given switching frequency, there can be significant increase in out-of-band noise. THD+N
measurements can be significantly affected by out-of-band noise, resulting in a higher than expected THD+N
measurement. To achieve a more accurate measurement of THD, the test equipment’s input bandwidth of the
must be limited. Some common upper filter points are 22kHz, 30kHz, and 80kHz. The input filter limits the noise
component of the THD+N measurement to a smaller bandwidth resulting in a more real-world THD+N value.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
