The LM48312 is designed to meet the demands of
portable multimedia devices. Operating from a single
5V supply, the device is capable of delivering 2.6W of
continuous output power to a 4Ω load with less than
10% THD+N. Flexible power supply requirements
allow operation from 2.4V to 5.5V. The LM48312
features both a spread spectrum modulation scheme,
and an advanced, patented edge rate control (ERC)
architecture that significantly reduces emissions,
while maintaining high quality audio reproduction
(THD+N = 0.03%) and high efficiency (η = 88%).
The LM48312 features high efficiency compared to
conventional Class AB amplifiers, and other low EMI
Class D amplifiers. When driving an 8Ω speaker from
a 5V supply, the device operates with 88% efficiency
at PO = 1W. The LM48312 features five gain settings,
selected through a single logic input, further reducing
solution size. A low power shutdown mode reduces
supply current consumption to 0.01µA.
Advanced output short circuit protection with autorecovery prevents the device from being damaged
during fault conditions. Superior click and pop
suppression eliminates audible transients on powerup/down and during shutdown.

“Absolute Maximum Ratings” indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur, including inoperability and degradation of
device reliability and/or performance. Functional operation of the device and/or non-degradation at theAbsolute Maximum Ratings or
other conditions beyond those indicated in the Recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. The Recommended Operating
Conditionsindicate conditions at which the device is functional and the device should not be operated beyond such conditions. All
voltages are measured with respect to the ground pin, unless otherwise specified.
The Electrical Characteristics tables list ensured specifications under the listed Recommended Operating Conditions except as
otherwise modified or specified by the Electrical Characteristics Conditions and/or Notes. Typical specifications are estimations only and
are not ensured.
If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/Distributors for availability and
specifications.
The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJMAX, θJA, and the ambient temperature,
TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation is PDMAX = (TJMAX - TA) / θJA or the number given inAbsolute Maximum Ratings,
whichever is lower.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
GENERAL AMPLIFIER FUNCTION
The LM48312 mono Class D audio power amplifier features a filterless modulation scheme that reduces external
component count, conserving board space and reducing system cost. The outputs of the device transition from
VDD to GND with a 300kHz switching frequency. With no signal applied, the outputs (VOUTA and VOUTB) switch
with a 50% duty cycle, in phase, causing the two outputs to cancel. This cancellation results in no net voltage
across the speaker, thus there is no current to the load in the idle state.
With the input signal applied, the duty cycle (pulse width) of the LM48312 outputs changes. For increasing output
voltage, the duty cycle of VOUTA increases, while the duty cycle of VOUTB decreases. For decreasing output
voltages, the converse occurs. The difference between the two pulse widths yields the differential output voltage.
ENHANCED EMISSIONS SUPPRESSION SYSTEM (E2S)
The LM48312 features TI’s patented E2S system that reduces EMI, while maintaining high quality audio
reproduction and efficiency. The E2S system features spread spectrum and advanced edge rate control (ERC).
The LM48312 ERC greatly reduces the high frequency components of the output square waves by controlling the
output rise and fall times, slowing the transitions to reduce RF emissions, while maximizing THD+N and
efficiency performance. The overall result of the E2S system is a filterless Class D amplifier that passes FCC
Class B radiated emissions standards with 20in of twisted pair cable, with excellent 0.03% THD+N and high 88%
efficiency.
SPREAD SPECTRUM
The spread spectrum modulation reduces the need for output filters, ferrite beads or chokes. The switching
frequency varies randomly by 30% about a 300kHz center frequency, reducing the wideband spectral contend,
improving EMI emissions radiated by the speaker and associated cables and traces. Where a fixed frequency
class D exhibits large amounts of spectral energy at multiples of the switching frequency, the spread spectrum
architecture of the LM48312 spreads that energy over a larger bandwidth (See Typical Performance
Characteristics). The cycle-to-cycle variation of the switching period does not affect the audio reproduction,
efficiency, or PSRR.
DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER EXPLANATION
As logic supplies continue to shrink, system designers are increasingly turning to differential analog signal
handling to preserve signal to noise ratios with restricted voltage signs. The LM48312 features a fully differential
speaker amplifier. 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 of SNR relative to
differential inputs. The LM48312 also offers the possibility of DC input coupling which eliminates the input
coupling capacitors. A major benefit of the fully differential amplifier is the improved common mode rejection ratio
(CMRR) over single ended input amplifiers. The increased CMRR of the differential amplifier reduces sensitivity
to ground offset related noise injection, especially important in noisy systems.
POWER DISSIPATION AND EFFICIENCY
The major benefit of a Class D amplifier is increased efficiency versus a Class AB. The efficiency of the
LM48312 is attributed to the region of operation of the transistors in the output stage. The Class D output stage
acts as current steering switches, consuming negligible amounts of power compared to their Class AB
counterparts. Most of the power loss associated with the output stage is due to the IR loss of the MOSFET onresistance, along with switching losses due to gate charge.
GAIN SETTING
The LM48312 features five internally configured gain settings, 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12dB. The device gain is selected
through a single pin (GAIN). The gain settings are shown in Table 1. The gain of the LM48312 is determined at
startup. When the LM48312 is powered up or brought out of shutdown, the device checks the state of GAIN, and
sets the amplifier gain accordingly. Once the gain is set, the state of GAIN is ignored and the device gain cannot
be changed until the device is either shutdown or powered down.

For proper gain selection:
1. Use 20kΩ resistors with 10% tolerance or better for the 9dB and 12dB gain settings.
2. Short GAIN to either VDD or GND through 100Ω or less for the 3dB and 6dB gain settings.
3. FLOAT = 20MΩ or more for the 0dB gain setting.
SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
The LM48312 features a low current shutdown mode. Set SD = GND to disable the amplifier and reduce supply
current to 0.01µA.
Switch SD between GND and VDD for minimum current consumption is shutdown. The LM48312 may be disabled
with shutdown voltages in between GND and VDD, the idle current will be greater than the typical 0.1µA value.
Increased THD+N may also be observed when a voltage of less than VDD is applied to SD.
The LM48312 shutdown input has and internal pulldown resistor. The purpose of this resistor is to eliminate any
unwanted state changes when SD is floating. To minimize shutdown current, SD should be driven to GND or left
floating. If SD is not driven to GND or floating, an increase in shutdown supply current will be noticed.
PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Audio Amplifier Power Supply Bypassing/Filtering
Proper power supply bypassing is critical for low noise performance and high PSRR. Place the supply bypass
capacitors as close to the device as possible. Typical applications employ a voltage regulator with 10µF and
0.1µF bypass capacitors that increase supply stability. These capacitors do not eliminate the need for bypassing
of the LM48312 supply pins. A 1µF capacitor is recommended.
Audio Amplifier Input Capacitor Selection
Input capacitors may be required for some applications, or when the audio source is single-ended. Input
capacitors block the DC component of the audio signal, eliminating any conflict between the DC component of
the audio source and the bias voltage of the LM48312. The input capacitors create a high-pass filter with the
input resistors RIN. The -3dB point of the high pass filter is found using Equation 1 below.
f = 1 / 2πRINCIN
(1)
Where RIN is the value of the input resistor given in the Electrical Characteristics table.
The input capacitors can also be used to remove low frequency content from the audio signal. Small speakers
cannot reproduce, and may even be damaged by low frequencies. High pass filtering the audio signal helps
protect the speakers. When the LM48312 is using a single-ended source, power supply noise on the ground is
seen as an input signal. Setting the high-pass filter point above the power supply noise frequencies, 217Hz in a
GSM phone, for example, filters out the noise such that it is not amplified and heard on the output. Capacitors
with a tolerance of 10% or better are recommended for impedance matching and improved CMRR and PSRR.
Single-Ended Audio Amplifier Configuration
The LM48312 is compatible with single-ended sources. When configured for single-ended inputs, input
capacitors must be used to block and DC component at the input of the device. Figure 39 shows the typical
single-ended applications circuit.

PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES
As output power increases, interconnect resistance (PCB traces and wires) between the amplifier, load and
power supply create a voltage drop. The voltage loss due to the traces between the LM48312 and the load
results in lower output power and decreased efficiency. Higher trace resistance between the supply and the
LM48312 has the same effect as a poorly regulated supply, increasing ripple on the supply line, and reducing
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. In addition to reducing trace
resistance, the use of power planes creates parasitic capacitors that help to filter the power supply line.
The inductive nature of the transducer load can also result in overshoot on one of 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. In is essential to keep the power
and output traces short and well shielded if possible. Use of ground planes beads and micros-strip layout
techniques are all useful in preventing unwanted interference.
As the distance from the LM48312 and the speaker increases, the amount of EMI radiation increases due to the
output wires or traces acting as antennas become more efficient with length. Ferrite chip inductors places close
to the LM48312 outputs may be needed to reduce EMI radiation.
