Boomer® audio integrated circuits were designed
specifically to provide high quality audio while
requiring a minimum amount of external components.
The LM4840 incorporates a digital volume control,
stereo bridged audio power amplifiers, an input mux,
and a last volume level memory function to save the
volume setting during shutdown. These features
make it optimally suited for multimedia monitors,
portable radios, desktop, and portable computer
applications.
The LM4840 features an externally controlled, lowpower consumption shutdown mode, and both a
power amplifier and headphone mute for maximum
system flexibility and performance.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
DIGITAL VOLUME CONTROL
The LM4840 features a digital volume control which consists of the CLOCK, UP, and DOWN pins. An external
clock may be fed to the CLOCK pin, or, by connecting a capacitor from the CLOCK pin to ground, the internal
clock may be used. The internal clock frequency with respect to this capacitor value is determined from the
following formula:
fCLK = (7.338 x 10-7 ) / C
When using an external clock, the clock is buffered and the internal clock frequency is that of the external clock
divided by 2. Also, the maximum frequency should be kept below 100kHz.
Volume changes are then effected by toggling either the UP or DOWN pins with a logic high. After a period of 4
clock pulses with either the UP or DOWN pins held high, the volume will change to the next specified step, either
up or down. Volume levels for each step vary and are specified in Table 2. If either the UP or DOWN pin remains
high after the first volume transition the volume will change again, but this time after 40 clock pulses. The next
transition occurs at 20 clock pulses, then 12, then 8, and from then on 4 clock pulses for each volume transtition.
This cycle is shown in the timing diagram shown in Figure 46. Releasing the held UP or DOWN pin to ground at
any time re-starts the cycle. This is intended to provide the user with a volume control that pauses briefly after
initial application, then slowly increases the rate of volume change as it is continuously applied.
If both the UP and DOWN pins are held high, no volume change will occur. Trigger points for the UP and DOWN
pins are at 60% of VDD minimum for a logic high, and 20% of VDD maximum for a logic low. It is recommended,
however, to toggle UP and DOWN between VDD and GND for best performance. When using an external clock,
clock pulses should be a minimum 0f 3V for a high and maximum of 0.9V for a low when using a 5V supply.
Again, pulsing an external clock from VDD to GND ensures reliable performance. Following these guidelines the
volume may then be changed with a microcontroller or manually using switches.
MEMORY FUNCTION
The LM4840 features a volume memory that saves the last volume setting when power is turned off. This
requires that an auxiliary power source be connected to VAUX through a diode as shown in Figure 1. Connecting
the circuit as shown also provides that power to the VAUX pin is being drawn from VDD when VDD is on and is
greater than VAUX. VAUX must be at a voltage of 2.3V or greater to maintain volume memory when VDD is absent.
This feature is intended for such applications as laptop computers, where VDD is the system power and VAUX is
connected to the real time clock battery. The default volume setting for the LM4840 is -10dB in BTL mode, and 16dB in single-ended mode. This default setting is only achieved on power up when both VDD and VAUX had both
been turned off, and the circuit had sufficient time to discharge (
