DESCRIPTION
The LM4946 is an audio power amplifier capable of
delivering 540mW of continuous average power into a
mono 8Ω bridged-tied load (BTL) with 1% THD+N,
35mW per channel of continuous average power into
stereo 32Ω single-ended (SE) loads with 1% THD+N,
or an output capacitor-less (OCL) configuration with
identical specifications as the SE configuration, from
a 3.3V power supply.
The LM4946 has three input channels: one pair for a
two-channel stereo signal and the third for a
differential single-channel mono input. The LM4946
features a 32-step digital volume control and eight
distinct output modes. The digital volume control, 3D
enhancement, and output modes (mono/SE/OCL) are
programmed through a two-wire I2C or a three-wire
SPI compatible interface that allows flexibility in
routing and mixing audio channels.
The LM4946 is designed for cellular phone, PDA, and
other portable handheld applications. It delivers high
quality output power from a surface-mount package
and requires only seven external components in the
OCL mode (two additional components in SE mode).

Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is functional, but do not ensure specific performance limits. For ensured
specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The ensured specifications apply only for the test conditions listed.
Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.
All voltages are measured with respect to the ground pin, unless otherwise specified.
Datasheet min/max specifications are specified by design, test, or statistical analysis.
Typical specifications are specified at +25°C and represent the most likely parametric norm.
Tested limits are specified to TI's AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).

APPLICATION INFORMATION
I2C PIN DESCRIPTION
SDA: This is the serial data input pin.
SCL: This is the clock input pin.
ID_ENB: This is the address select input pin.
I2CSPI_SEL: This is tied LOW for I2C mode.
I2C COMPATIBLE INTERFACE
The LM4946 uses a serial bus which conforms to the I2C protocol to control the chip's functions with two wires:
clock (SCL) and data (SDA). The clock line is uni-directional. The data line is bi-directional (open-collector). The
maximum clock frequency specified by the I2C standard is 400kHz. In this discussion, the master is the
controlling microcontroller and the slave is the LM4946.
The I2C address for the LM4946 is determined using the ID_ENB pin. The LM4946's two possible I2C chip
addresses are of the form 111110X10 (binary), where X1 = 0, if ID_ENB is logic LOW; and X1 = 1, if ID_ENB is
logic HIGH. If the I2C interface is used to address a number of chips in a system, the LM4946's chip address can
be changed to avoid any possible address conflicts.
The bus format for the I2C interface is shown in Figure 63. The bus format diagram is broken up into six major
sections:
1. The "start" signal is generated by lowering the data signal while the clock signal is HIGH. The start signal will
alert all devices attached to the I2C bus to check the incoming address against their own address.
2. The 8-bit chip address is sent next, most significant bit first. The data is latched in on the rising edge of the
clock. Each address bit must be stable while the clock level is HIGH.
For I2C interface operation, the I2CSPI_SEL pin needs to be tied LOW (and tied high for SPI operation).
3. After the last bit of the address bit is sent, the master releases the data line HIGH (through a pull-up
resistor). Then the master sends an acknowledge clock pulse. If the LM4946 has received the address
correctly, then it holds the data line LOW during the clock pulse. If the data line is not held LOW during the
acknowledge clock pulse, then the master should abort the rest of the data transfer to the LM4946.
4. The 8 bits of data are sent next, most significant bit first. Each data bit should be valid while the clock level is
stable HIGH.
5. After the data byte is sent, the master must check for another acknowledge to see if the LM4946 received
the data.
If the master has more data bytes to send to the LM4946, then the master can repeat the previous two steps
until all data bytes have been sent.
6. The "stop" signal ends the transfer. To signal "stop", the data signal goes HIGH while the clock signal is
HIGH. The data line should be held HIGH when not in use.
I2C INTERFACE POWER SUPPLY PIN (I2CSPI_VDD)
The LM4946's I2C interface is powered up through the I2CSPI_VDD pin. The LM4946's I2C interface operates at a
voltage level set by the I2CVDD pin which can be set independent to that of the main power supply pin VDD. This
is ideal whenever logic levels for the I2C interface are dictated by a microcontroller or microprocessor that is
operating at a lower supply voltage than the main battery of a portable system.

SPI DESCRIPTION
(For 2.2V ≤ I2CSPI_VDD ≤ 5.5V, see I2C/SPI WQFN/DSBGA for more information).
0. I2CSPI_SEL: This pin is tied HIGH for SPI mode.
1. The data bits are transmitted with the MSB first.
2. The maximum clock rate is 1MHz for the CLK pin.
3. CLK must remain HIGH for at least 500ns (tCH ) after the rising edge of CLK, and CLK must remain LOW for at
least 500ns (tCL) after the falling edge of CLK.
4. The serial data bits are sampled at the rising edge of CLK. Any transition on DATA must occur at least 100ns
(tDS) before the rising edge of CLK. Also, any transition on DATA must occur at least 100ns (tDH) after the rising
edge of CLK and stabilize before the next rising edge of CLK.
5.ID_ENB should be LOW only during serial data transmission.
6. ID_ENB must be LOW at least 100ns (tES ) before the first rising edge of CLK, and ID_ENB has to remain
LOW at least 100ns (tEH) after the eighth rising edge of CLK.
7. If ID_ENB remains HIGH for more than 100ns before all 8 bits are transmitted then the data latch will be
aborted.
8. If ID_ENB is LOW for more than 8 CLK pulses then only the first 8 data bits will be latched and activated when
ID_ENB transitions to logic-high.
9. ID_ENB must remain HIGH for at least 100ns (tEL ) to latch in the data.
10. Coincidental rising or falling edges of CLK and ID_ENB are not allowed. If CLK is to be held HIGH after the
data transmission, the falling edge of CLK must occur at least 100ns (tCS) before ID_ENB transitions to LOW for
the next set of data.

TI 3D ENHANCEMENT
The LM4946 features a stereo headphone, 3D audio enhancement effect that widens the perceived soundstage
from a stereo audio signal. The 3D audio enhancement creates a perceived spatial effect optimized for stereo
headphone listening. The LM4946 can be programmed for a “narrow” or “wide” soundstage perception. The
narrow soundstage has a more focused approaching sound direction, while the wide soundstage has a spatial,
theater-like effect. Within each of these two modes, four discrete levels of 3D effect that can be programmed:
low, medium, high, and maximum (Table 2, Table 3), each level with an ever increasing aural effect, respectively.
The difference between each level is 3dB.
The external capacitors, shown in Figure 66, are required to enable the 3D effect. The value of the capacitors set
the cutoff frequency of the 3D effect, as shown by Equation 1 and Equation 2. Note that the internal 20kΩ
resistor is nominal.

PCB LAYOUT AND SUPPLY REGULATION CONSIDERATIONS FOR DRIVING 8Ω LOAD
Power dissipated by a load is a function of the voltage swing across the load and the load's impedance. As load
impedance decreases, load dissipation becomes increasingly dependent on the interconnect (PCB trace and
wire) resistance between the amplifier output pins and the load's connections. Residual trace resistance causes
a voltage drop, which results in power dissipated in the trace and not in the load as desired. For example, 0.1Ω
trace resistance reduces the output power dissipated by an 8Ω load from 158.3mW to 156.4mW. The problem of
decreased load dissipation is exacerbated as load impedance decreases. Therefore, to maintain the highest load
dissipation and widest output voltage swing, PCB traces that connect the output pins to a load must be as wide
as possible.
Poor power supply regulation adversely affects maximum output power. A poorly regulated supply's output
voltage decreases with increasing load current. Reduced supply voltage causes decreased headroom, output
signal clipping, and reduced output power. Even with tightly regulated supplies, trace resistance creates the
same effects as poor supply regulation. Therefore, making the power supply traces as wide as possible helps
maintain full output voltage swing.
BRIDGE CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION
The LM4946 drives a load, such as a speaker, connected between outputs, MONO+ and MONO-.
This results in both amplifiers producing signals identical in magnitude, but 180° out of phase. Taking advantage
of this phase difference, a load is placed between MONO- and MONO+ and driven differentially (commonly
referred to as ”bridge mode”). This results in a differential or BTL gain of:
AVD = 2(Rf / Ri) = 2
(7)
Bridge mode amplifiers are different from single-ended amplifiers that drive loads connected between a single
amplifier's output and ground. For a given supply voltage, bridge mode has a distinct advantage over the singleended configuration: its differential output doubles the voltage swing across the load. Theoretically, this produces
four times the output power when compared to a single-ended amplifier under the same conditions. This increase
in attainable output power assumes that the amplifier is not current limited and that the output signal is not
clipped.
Another advantage of the differential bridge output is no net DC voltage across the load. This is accomplished by
biasing MONO- and MONO+ outputs at half-supply. This eliminates the coupling capacitor that single supply,
single-ended amplifiers require. Eliminating an output coupling capacitor in a typical single-ended configuration
forces a single-supply amplifier's half-supply bias voltage across the load. This increases internal IC power
dissipation and may permanently damage loads such as speakers.
POWER DISSIPATION
Power dissipation is a major concern when designing a successful single-ended or bridged amplifier.
A direct consequence of the increased power delivered to the load by a bridge amplifier is higher internal power
dissipation. The LM4946 has a pair of bridged-tied amplifiers driving a handsfree speaker, MONO. The maximum
internal power dissipation operating in the bridge mode is twice that of a single-ended amplifier. From Equation 8,
assuming a 5V power supply and an 8Ω load, the maximum MONO power dissipation is 634mW.
PDMAX-SPKROUT = 4(VDD)2/ (2π2 RL): Bridge Mode
(8)
The LM4946 also has a pair of single-ended amplifiers driving stereo headphones, ROUT and LOUT. The maximum
internal power dissipation for ROUT and LOUT is given by Equation 9 and Equation 10. From Equation 9 and
Equation 10, assuming a 5V power supply and a 32Ω load, the maximum power dissipation for LOUT and ROUT is
40mW, or 80mW total.
PDMAX-LOUT = (VDD)2 / (2π2 RL): Single-ended Mode
PDMAX-ROUT = (VDD)2 / (2π2 RL): Single-ended Mode
(9)
(10)
The maximum internal power dissipation of the LM4946 occurs when all three amplifiers pairs are simultaneously
on; and is given by Equation 11.
PDMAX-TOTAL = PDMAX-SPKROUT + PDMAX-LOUT + PDMAX-ROUT
(11)
The maximum power dissipation point given by Equation 11 must not exceed the power dissipation given by
Equation 12:

PDMAX = (TJMAX - TA) / θJA
(12)
The LM4946's TJMAX = 150°C. In the SQ package, the LM4946's θJA is 46°C/W. At any given ambient
temperature TA, use Equation 12 to find the maximum internal power dissipation supported by the IC packaging.
Rearranging Equation 12 and substituting PDMAX-TOTAL for PDMAX' results in Equation 13. This equation gives the
maximum ambient temperature that still allows maximum stereo power dissipation without violating the LM4946's
maximum junction temperature.
TA = TJMAX - PDMAX-TOTAL θJA
(13)
For a typical application with a 5V power supply and an 8Ω load, the maximum ambient temperature that allows
maximum mono power dissipation without exceeding the maximum junction temperature is approximately 121°C
for the SQ package.
TJMAX = PDMAX-TOTAL θJA + TA
(14)
Equation 14 gives the maximum junction temperature TJMAX. If the result violates the LM4946's 150°C, reduce
the maximum junction temperature by reducing the power supply voltage or increasing the load resistance.
Further allowance should be made for increased ambient temperatures.
The above examples assume that a device is a surface mount part operating around the maximum power
dissipation point. Since internal power dissipation is a function of output power, higher ambient temperatures are
allowed as output power or duty cycle decreases. If the result of Equation 11 is greater than that of Equation 12,
then decrease the supply voltage, increase the load impedance, or reduce the ambient temperature. If these
measures are insufficient, a heat sink can be added to reduce θJA. The heat sink can be created using additional
copper area around the package, with connections to the ground pin(s), supply pin and amplifier output pins.
External, solder attached SMT heatsinks such as the Thermalloy 7106D can also improve power dissipation.
When adding a heat sink, the θJA is the sum of θJC, θCS, and θSA. (θJC is the junction-to-case thermal impedance,
θCS is the case-to-sink thermal impedance, and θSA is the sink-to-ambient thermal impedance). Refer to the
Typical Performance Characteristics curves for power dissipation information at lower output power levels.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
As with any power amplifier, proper supply bypassing is critical for low noise performance and high power supply
rejection. Applications that employ a 5V regulator typically use a 1µF in parallel with a 0.1µF filter capacitors to
stabilize the regulator's output, reduce noise on the supply line, and improve the supply's transient response.
However, their presence does not eliminate the need for a local 1.0µF tantalum bypass capacitor and a parallel
0.1µF ceramic capacitor connected between the LM4946's supply pin and ground. Keep the length of leads and
traces that connect capacitors between the LM4946's power supply pin and ground as short as possible.
SELECTING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Input Capacitor Value Selection
Amplifying the lowest audio frequencies requires high value input coupling capacitor (Ci in Figure 1 & Figure 2).
A high value capacitor can be expensive and may compromise space efficiency in portable designs. In many
cases, however, the speakers used in portable systems, whether internal or external, have little ability to
reproduce signals below 150Hz. Applications using speakers with this limited frequency response reap little
improvement by using large input capacitor.
The internal input resistor (Ri), minimum 10kΩ, and the input capacitor (Ci) produce a high pass filter cutoff
frequency that is found using Equation 15.
fc = 1 / (2πRiCi)
(15)
As an example when using a speaker with a low frequency limit of 150Hz, Ci, using Equation 15 is 0.106µF. The
0.22µF Ci shown in Figure 1 allows the LM4946 to drive high efficiency, full range speaker whose response
extends below 40Hz.

Bypass Capacitor Value Selection
Besides minimizing the input capacitor size, careful consideration should be paid to value of CB, the capacitor
connected to the BYPASS pin. Since CB determines how fast the LM4946 settles to quiescent operation, its
value is critical when minimizing turn-on pops. The slower the LM4946's outputs ramp to their quiescent DC
voltage (nominally VDD/2), the smaller the turn-on pop. Choosing CB equal to 2.2µF along with a small value of Ci
(in the range of 0.1µF to 0.33µF), produces a click-less and pop-less shutdown function. As discussed above,
choosing Ci no larger than necessary for the desired bandwidth helps minimize clicks and pops. CB's value
should be in the range of 7 to 10 times the value of Ci. This ensures that output transients are eliminated when
power is first applied or the LM4946 resumes operation after shutdown.
