FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
The LM48410 is a single supply, high efficiency,
2.3W/channel, filterless switching audio amplifier. A
low noise PWM architecture eliminates the output
filter, reducing external component count, board area
consumption, system cost, and simplifying design. A

The LM48410 is designed to meet the demands of
mobile phones and other portable communication
devices. Operating from a single 5V supply, the
device is capable of delivering 2.3W/channel 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 LM48410
offers two logic selectable modulation schemes, fixed
frequency mode, and an EMI reducing spread
spectrum mode.
The LM48410 features high efficiency compared with
conventional Class AB amplifiers. When driving an
8Ω speaker from a 3.6V supply, the device operates
with 85% efficiency at PO = 500mW/Ch. Four gain
options are pin selectable through the G0 and G1
pins. The LM48410 also includes 3D audio
enhancement that improves stereo sound quality. In
devices where the left and right speakers are in close
proximity, 3D enhancement affects channel
specialization, widening the perceived soundstage.
Output short circuit protection prevents the device
from being damaged during fault conditions. Superior
click and pop suppression eliminates audible
transients on power-up/down and during shutdown.
Independent left/right shutdown controls maximizes
power savings in mixed mono/stereo applications.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
GENERAL AMPLIFIER FUNCTION
The LM48410 stereo 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 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.
When an input signal is applied, the duty cycle (pulse width) of the LM48410 output's change. For increasing
output voltage, the duty cycle of one side of each output increases, while the duty cycle of the other side of each
output decreases. For decreasing output voltages, the converse occurs. The difference between the two pulse
widths yields the differential output voltage.
FIXED FREQUENCY MODE
The LM48410 features two modulations schemes, a fixed frequency mode and a spread spectrum mode. Select
the fixed frequency mode by setting SS/FF = GND. In fixed frequency mode, the amplifier outputs switch at a
constant 300kHz. In fixed frequency mode, the output spectrum consists of the fundamental and its associated
harmonics (see Typical Performance Characteristics).
SPREAD SPECTRUM
The logic selectable spread spectrum mode eliminates the need for output filters, ferrite beads or chokes. In
spread spectrum mode, the switching frequency varies randomly by 30% about a 300kHz center frequency,
reducing the wideband spectral content and improving EMI emissions radiated by the speaker and associated
cables and traces. A fixed frequency class D exhibits large amounts of spectral energy at multiples of the
switching frequency. The spread spectrum architecture of the LM48410 spreads the same 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. Set SS/FF = VDD for spread spectrum mode.
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 swings. The LM48410 features two fully
differential speaker amplifiers. 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 LM48410 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
LM48410 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 a Class AB amplifier.
Most of the power loss associated with the output stage is due to the IR loss of the MOSFET on-resistance,
along with switching losses due to gate charge.
SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
The LM48410 features independent left and right channel shutdown controls, allowing each channel to be
disabled independently. SDR controls the right channel, while SDL controls the left channel. Driving either low
disables the corresponding channel, reducing supply current to 0.1µA.
It is best to switch between ground and VDD for minimum current consumption while in shutdown. The LM48410
may be disabled with shutdown voltages in between GND and VDD, the idle current will be greater than the
typical 0.1μA value.

The LM48410 shutdown inputs have internal pulldown resistors. The purpose of these resistors 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
Power Supply Bypassing/Filtering
Proper power supply bypassing is important for low noise performance and high PSRR. Place the supply bypass
capacitor 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
LM48410 supply pins. A 1µF capacitor is recommended.
Input Capacitor Slection
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 LM48410. The input capacitors create a high-pass filter with the
input resistance RIN. The -3dB point of the high-pass filter is found using Equation 1 below.
f = 1 / 2πRINCIN
(1)
The values for RIN can be found in the Electrical Characteristics table for each gain setting.
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 LM48410 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, 217 Hz 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.
3D Enhancement
The LM48410 features TI’s 3D enhancement effect that widens the perceived soundstage of a stereo audio
signal. The 3D enhancement increases the apparent stereo channel separation, improving audio reproduction
whenever the left and right speakers are too close to one another.
An external RC network shown in Figure 1 is required to enable the 3D effect. Because the LM48410 is a fully
differential amplifier, there are two separate RC networks, one for each stereo input pair (INL+ and INR+, and
INL- and INR-). Set 3DEN high to enable the 3D effect. Set 3DEN low to disable the 3D effect.
The 3D RC network acts as a high pass filter. The amount of the 3D effect is set by the R3D resistor. Decreasing
the value of R3D increases the 3D effect. The C3D capacitor sets the frequency at which the 3D effect occurs.
Increasing the value of C3D decreases the low frequency cutoff point, extending the 3D effect over a wider
bandwidth. The low frequency cutoff point is given by:
f3D(–3dB) = 1 / 2π(R3D)(C3D)
(2)
Enabling the 3D effect increase the gain by a factor of (1+20kΩ/R3D). Setting R3D to 20kΩ results in a gain
increase of 6dB whenever the 3D effect is enabled. In fully differential configuration, the component values of the
two RC networks must be identical. Any component variations can affect the sound quality of the 3D effect. In
single-ended configuration, only the RC network of the input pairs being driven by the audio source needs to be
connected. For instance, if audio is applied to INR+ and INL+, then a 3D network must be connected between
3DL+ and 3DR+. 3DL- and 3DR- can be left unconnected.

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 LM48410 and the load
results in lower output power and decreased efficiency. Higher trace resistance between the supply and the
LM48410 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 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. 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 LM48410 and the speaker increases, the amount of EMI radiation increases due to the
output wires or traces acting as antennas. An antenna becomes a more efficient radiator with lenth. Ferrite chip
inductors places close to the LM48410 outputs may be needed to reduce EMI radiation.
EXPOSED-DAP MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
The LM48410 WQFN package features an exposed thermal pad on its underside (DAP, or die attach paddle).
The exposed DAP lowers the package’s thermal resistance by providing a direct heat conduction path from the
die to the printed circuit board. Connect the exposed thermal pad to GND though a large pad and multiple vias to
a GND plane on the bottom of the PCB.
