Operating on a single 5V supply, it is capable of driving a 4Ω speaker load at a continuous average output of 2.1W with less than 1% THD+N. Its flexible power supply requirements allow operation from 2.4V to 5.5V. The LM4671 has high efficiency with speaker loads compared to a typical Class AB amplifier. With a 3V supply driving an 8Ω speaker, the IC's efficiency for a 100mW power level is 80%, reaching 88% at 400mW output power. The LM4671 features a low-power consumption shutdown mode. Shutdown may be enabled by driving the Shutdown pin to a logic low (GND). The gain of the LM4671 is externally configurable which allows independent gain control from multiple sources by summing the signals. Typical Application Figure 1.

The differential outputs of the device switch at 300kHz from VDD to GND. When there is no input signal applied, the two outputs (VO1 and VO2) switch with a 50% duty cycle, with both outputs in phase. Because the outputs of the LM4671 are differential, the two signals cancel each other. This results in no net voltage across the speaker, thus there is no load current during an idle state, conserving power. With an input signal applied, the duty cycle (pulse width) of the LM4671 outputs changes. For increasing output voltages, the duty cycle of VO1 increases, while the duty cycle of VO2 decreases. For decreasing output voltages, the converse occurs, the duty cycle of VO2 increases while the duty cycle of VO1 decreases. The difference between the two pulse widths yields the differential output voltage. 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 LM4671 and in the transducer load. The amount of power dissipation in the LM4671 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 LM4671 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 LM4671 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 LM4671 also offers the possibility of DC input coupling which eliminates the two external AC coupling, DC blocking capacitors. The LM4671 can be used, however, as a single ended input amplifier while still retaining its fully differential benefits. In fact, completely unrelated signals may be placed on the input pins. The LM4671 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 LM4671 and the load results is lower output power and decreased efficiency. Higher trace resistance between the supply and the LM4671 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. The use of power and ground planes will give the best THD+N performance. While reducing trace resistance, the use of power planes also creates parasite capacitors that help to filter the power supply line. 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2005–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM4671 LM4671 www.ti.com SNAS258D – MARCH 2005 – REVISED MAY 2013 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 LM4671 and the speaker 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 LM4671 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 LM4671. 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 LM4671. A 1µF tantalum capacitor is recommended. SHUTDOWN FUNCTION In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, the LM4671 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 LM4671 may be disabled with shutdown voltages in between ground and supply, the idle current will be greater than the typical 0.01µA value. The LM4671 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 LM4671 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. PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS The gain of the LM4671 is set by the external resistors, Ri in Figure 1, The Gain is given by Equation (2) below. Best THD+N performance is achieved with a gain of 2V/V (6dB). AV = 2 * 150 kΩ / Ri (V/V) (2) It is recommended that resistors with 1% tolerance or better be used to set the gain of the LM4671. The Ri resistors should be placed close to the input pins of the LM4671. Keeping the input traces close to each other and of the same length in a high noise environment will aid in noise rejection due to the good CMRR of the LM4671. Noise coupled onto input traces which are physically close to each other will be common mode and easily rejected by the LM4671. Input capacitors may be needed for some applications or when the source is single-ended (see Figures 3 and 5). Input capacitors are needed to block any DC voltage at the source so that the DC voltage seen between the input terminals of the LM4671 is 0V. Input capacitors create a high-pass filter with the input resistors, Ri. The –3dB point of the high-pass filter is found using Equation (3) below. fC = 1 / (2πRi Ci ) (Hz) (3) Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2005–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM4671 11 LM4671 SNAS258D – MARCH 2005 – REVISED MAY 2013 www.ti.com The input capacitors may also be used to remove low audio frequencies. Small speakers cannot reproduce low bass frequencies so filtering may be desired. When the LM4671 is using a single-ended source, power supply noise on the ground is seen as an input signal by the +IN input pin that is capacitor coupled to ground (see Figures 5 -7). Setting the high-pass filter point above the power supply noise frequencies, 217Hz in a GSM phone, for example, will filter out this noise so it is not amplified and heard on the output. Capacitors with a tolerance of 10% or better are recommended for impedance matching. DIFFERENTIAL CIRCUIT CONFIGURATIONS The LM4671 can be used in many different circuit configurations. The simplest and best performing is the DC coupled, differential input configuration shown in Figure 22. Equation (2) above is used to determine the value of the Ri resistors for a desired gain. Input capacitors can be used in a differential configuration as shown in Figure 23. Equation (3) above is used to determine the value of the Ci capacitors for a desired frequency response due to the high-pass filter created by Ci and Ri. Equation (2) above is used to determine the value of the Ri resistors for a desired gain The LM4671 can be used to amplify more than one audio source. Figure 24 shows a dual differential input configuration. The gain for each input can be independently set for maximum design flexibility using the Ri resistors for each input and Equation (2). Input capacitors can be used with one or more sources as well to have different frequency responses depending on the source or if a DC voltage needs to be blocked from a source. SINGLE-ENDED CIRCUIT CONFIGURATIONS The LM4671 can also be used with single-ended sources but input capacitors will be needed to block any DC at the input terminals. Figure 25 shows the typical single-ended application configuration. The equations for Gain, Equation (2), and frequency response, Equation (3), hold for the single-ended configuration as shown in Figure 25. When using more than one single-ended source as shown in Figure 26, the impedance seen from each input terminal should be equal. To find the correct values for Ci3 and Ri3 connected to the +IN input pin the equivalent impedance of all the single-ended sources are calculated. The single-ended sources are in parallel to each other. The equivalent capacitor and resistor, Ci3 and Ri3, are found by calculating the parallel combination of all Civalues and then all Ri values. Equations (4) and (5) below are for any number of single-ended sources. Ci3 = Ci1 + Ci2 + Cin ... (μF) (4) Ri3 = 1 / (1/Ri1 + 1/Ri2 + 1/Rin ...) (Ω) (5) The LM4671 may also use a combination of single-ended and differential sources. A typical application with one single-ended source and one differential source is shown in Figure 27. Using the principle of superposition, the external component values can be determined with the above equations corresponding to the configuration. 12 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2005–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM4671 LM4671 www.ti.com SNAS258D – MARCH 2005 – REVISED MAY 2013 Figure 22.

Dual input with a single-ended input and a differential input REFERENCE DESIGN BOARD SCHEMATIC Figure 28. Reference Design Board Schematic 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.

When in doubt or 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 -0.25dB (3%). 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. LM4671 DSBGA BOARD ARTWORK Figure 29.
