Apply power supply voltage to positive terminal of JU4, and source ground to the negative terminal.
Short the terminals of JU1 to release the device from shutdown mode.
Connect a ceramic speaker, and series resistance load across the output terminals of JU3.
Apply a differential audio signal to the positive and negative terminals of JU2.
Introduction
The LM48555 is an audio power amplifier designed to drive ceramic speakers in portable applications.
The LM48555 outputs15.5VP-P with less than 1% THD + N while operating from a 3.2V power supply. The
LM48555 features differential inputs for improved noise rejection and a low power shutdown mode.
The LM48555 includes advanced click and pop suppression that eliminates audible turn-on and turn-off
transients. Additionally, the integrated boost regulator features a soft start function that minimizes transient
current during power-up. The LM48555 is unity-gain stable and uses external gain-setting resistors.
The LM48555 Evaluation board (Figure 1) allows you to easily evaluate the performance and
characteristics of the LM48555 device. It provides connectors for audio inputs, audio outputs, power
supply, and shutdown control. The ceramic speaker load is not included on the demo board, an external
ceramic speaker plus series resistor is needed for evaluation.

Connectors
The LM48555 evaluation boards features connectors for the audio inputs, audio outputs, power supply,
and shutdown control. The functionality and designators of each connector are specified in Table 1.

Audio Output
This connector provides a connection to the amplifier outputs. A ceramic speaker load, and

JU4
Power Supply
This connector provides the power supply connection. Apply an external power supply’s
positive voltage to the pin labeled VDD and the ground source to the pin labeled GND.
This connector is used to control the Shutdown function:
If JU1 is open, then the LM48555 is in Shutdown.
If JU1 is shorted, then the LM48555 is active.
This connector connects the audio input signal to the device inputs. Apply the positive
signal source to the pin labeled “+” and the negative signal source to the pin labeled “-”.

PCB Layout Guidelines
High frequency boost converters require very careful layout of components in order to get stable operation
and low noise. All components must be as close as possible to the LM4962 device. It is recommended
that a four-layer PCB be used so that internal ground planes are available. See Figure 3 through Figure 8
for demo board reference schematic and layout. Some additional guidelines to be observed:
• Keep the path between L1, D1, and CO extremely short. Parasitic trace inductance in series with D1
and C0 will increase noise and ringing.
• If internal ground planes are available (recommended) use vias to connect directly to ground at the
GND (SW) and GND pins of U1, as well as the negative sides of capacitors CS and CO.

General Layout Recommendations
This section provides practical guidelines for PCB layouts. Designers should note that these are only ruleof-thumb recommendations and the actual results will depend heavily on the final layout.
10.1 Power and Ground Circuits
For multi-layer boards, it is important to isolate the switching power and ground trace paths from the
amplifier power and ground trace paths. Star trace routing techniques (bringing individual traces back to a
central point rather than daisy chaining traces together in a serial manner) can have a major impact on
low level signal performance. Star trace routing refers to using individual traces to feed power and ground
to each circuit or even device. This technique will require a greater amount of design time but will not
increase the final price of the board.
10.2 Avoiding Typical Design / Layout Problems
Avoid ground loops or running digital and analog traces parallel to each other (side-by-side) on the same
PCB layer. When traces must cross over each other, do it at 90 degrees. Running digital and analog
traces at 90 degrees to each other from the top to the bottom side as much as possible will minimize
capacitive noise coupling and crosstalk.

to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the

Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.

anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
