The two outputs on a given channel can pulse independently with the exception that they both may never pulse simultaneously as this would result in zero volts across the BTL connected load. The minimum width of each pulse is approximately 160ns. However, pulses on the same output can occur sequentially, in which case they are concatenated and appear as a single wider pulse to achieve an effective 100% duty cycle. This results in maximum audio output power for a given supply voltage and load impedance. The LM4666 can achieve much higher efficiencies than class AB amplifiers while maintaining acceptable THD performance. The short (160ns) drive pulses emitted at the LM4666 outputs means that good efficiency can be obtained with minimal load inductance. The typical transducer load on an audio amplifier is quite reactive (inductive). For this reason, the load can act as it's own filter, so to speak. This "filter-less" switching amplifier/transducer load combination is much more attractive economically due to savings in board space and external component cost by eliminating the need for a filter. POWER DISSIPATION AND EFFICIENCY In general terms, efficiency is considered to be the ratio of useful work output divided by the total energy required to produce it with the difference being the power dissipated, typically, in the IC. The key here is “useful” work. For audio systems, the energy delivered in the audible bands is considered useful including the distortion products of the input signal. Sub-sonic (DC) and super-sonic components (>22kHz) are not useful. The difference between the power flowing from the power supply and the audio band power being transduced is dissipated in the LM4666 and in the transducer load. The amount of power dissipation in the LM4666 is very low. This is because the ON resistance of the switches used to form the output waveforms is typically less than 0.25Ω. This leaves only the transducer load as a potential "sink" for the small excess of input power over audio band output power. The LM4666 dissipates only a fraction of the excess power requiring no additional PCB area or copper plane to act as a heat sink. DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER EXPLANATION As logic supply voltages continue to shrink, designers are increasingly turning to differential analog signal handling to preserve signal to noise ratios with restricted voltage swing. The LM4666 is a fully differential amplifier that features differential input and output stages. A differential amplifier amplifies the difference between the two input signals. Traditional audio power amplifiers have typically offered only single-ended inputs resulting in a 6dB reduction in signal to noise ratio relative to differential inputs. The LM4666 also offers the possibility of DC input coupling which eliminates the two external AC coupling, DC blocking capacitors. The LM4666 can be used, however, as a single ended input amplifier while still retaining it's fully differential benefits. In fact, completely unrelated signals may be placed on the input pins. The LM4666 simply amplifies the difference between the signals. A major benefit of a differential amplifier is the improved common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) over single input amplifiers. The common-mode rejection characteristic of the differential amplifier reduces sensitivity to ground offset related noise injection, especially important in high noise applications. PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS As output power increases, interconnect resistance (PCB traces and wires) between the amplifier, load and power supply create a voltage drop. The voltage loss on the traces between the LM4666 and the load results is lower output power and decreased efficiency. Higher trace resistance between the supply and the LM4666 has the same effect as a poorly regulated supply, increase ripple on the supply line also reducing the peak output power. The effects of residual trace resistance increases as output current increases due to higher output power, decreased load impedance or both. To maintain the highest output voltage swing and corresponding peak output power, the PCB traces that connect the output pins to the load and the supply pins to the power supply should be as wide as possible to minimize trace resistance. 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2004–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM4666 LM4666SDBD LM4666, LM4666SDBD www.ti.com SNAS189A – MAY 2004 – REVISED MAY 2013 The rising and falling edges are necessarily short in relation to the minimum pulse width (160ns), having approximately 2ns rise and fall times, typical, depending on parasitic output capacitance. The inductive nature of the transducer load can also result in overshoot on one or both edges, clamped by the parasitic diodes to GND and VDD in each case. From an EMI standpoint, this is an aggressive waveform that can radiate or conduct to other components in the system and cause interference. It is essential to keep the power and output traces short and well shielded if possible. Use of ground planes, beads, and micro-strip layout techniques are all useful in preventing unwanted interference. As the distance from the LM4666 and the speakers increase the amount of EMI radiation will increase since the output wires or traces acting as antenna become more efficient with length. What is acceptable EMI is highly application specific. Ferrite chip inductors placed close to the LM4666 may be needed to reduce EMI radiation. The value of the ferrite chip is very application specific. POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING As with any power amplifier, proper supply bypassing is critical for low noise performance and high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR). The capacitor (CS) location should be as close as possible to the LM4666. Typical applications employ a voltage regulator with a 10µF and a 0.1µF bypass capacitors that increase supply stability. These capacitors do not eliminate the need for bypassing on the supply pin of the LM4666. A 1µF tantalum capacitor is recommended. SHUTDOWN FUNCTION In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, the LM4666 contains shutdown circuitry that reduces current draw to less than 0.01µA. The trigger point for shutdown is shown as a typical value in the Electrical Characteristics Tables and in the Shutdown Hysteresis Voltage graphs found in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. It is best to switch between ground and supply for minimum current usage while in the shutdown state. While the LM4666 may be disabled with shutdown voltages in between ground and supply, the idle current will be greater than the typical value. Increased THD may also be observed with voltages less than VDD on the Shutdown pin when in PLAY mode. The LM4666 has an internal resistor connected between GND and Shutdown pins. The purpose of this resistor is to eliminate any unwanted state changes when the Shutdown pin is floating. The LM4666 will enter the shutdown state when the Shutdown pin is left floating or if not floating, when the shutdown voltage has crossed the threshold. To minimize the supply current while in the shutdown state, the Shutdown pin should be driven to GND or left floating. If the Shutdown pin is not driven to GND, the amount of additional resistor current due to the internal shutdown resistor can be found by Equation 1 below. (VSD - GND) / 60kΩ (1) With only a 0.5V difference, an additional 8.3µA of current will be drawn while in the shutdown state. GAIN SELECTION FUNCTION The LM4666 has fixed selectable gain to minimize external components, increase flexibility and simplify design. For a differential gain of 6dB, the Gain Select pin should be permanently connected to VDD or driven to a logic high level. For a differential gain of 12dB, the Gain Select pin should be permanently connected to GND or driven to a logic low level. The gain of the LM4666 can be switched while the amplifier is in PLAY mode driving a load with a signal without damage to the IC. The voltage on the Gain Select pin should be switched quickly between GND (logic low) and VDD (logic high) to eliminate any possible audible artifacts from appearing at the output. For typical threshold voltages for the Gain Select function, refer to the Gain Threshold Voltages graph in the Typical Performance Characteristics section.

In addition to the minimal parts required for the application circuit, a measurement filter is provided on the evaluation circuit board so that conventional audio measurements can be conveniently made without additional equipment. This is a balanced input, grounded differential output low pass filter with a 3dB frequency of approximately 35kHz and an on board termination resistor of 300Ω (see Figure 28). Note that the capacitive load elements are returned to ground. This is not optimal for common mode rejection purposes, but due to the independent pulse format at each output there is a significant amount of high frequency common mode component on the outputs. The grounded capacitive filter elements attenuate this component at the board to reduce the high frequency CMRR requirement placed on the analysis instruments. Even with the grounded filter the audio signal is still differential necessitating a differential input on any analysis instrument connected to it. Most lab instruments that feature BNC connectors on their inputs are NOT differential responding because the ring of the BNC is usually grounded. The commonly used Audio Precision analyzer is differential but its ability to accurately reject fast pulses of 160ns width is questionable necessitating the on board measurement filter. When the signal needs to be single-ended, use an audio signal transformer to convert the differential output to a single ended output. Depending on the audio transformer's characteristics, there may be some attenuation of the audio signal which needs to be taken into account for correct measurement of performance. Measurements made at the output of the measurement filter suffer attenuation relative to the primary, unfiltered outputs even at audio frequencies. This is due to the resistance of the inductors interacting with the termination resistor (300Ω) and is typically about -0.35dB (4%). In other words, the voltage levels and corresponding power levels indicated through the measurement filter are slightly lower than those that actually occur at the load placed on the unfiltered outputs. This small loss in the filter for measurement gives a lower output power reading than what is really occurring on the unfiltered outputs and its load.
