The LM4855 features a 32 step digital volume control
and eight distinct output modes. The digital volume
control and output modes are programmed through a
three-wire SPI serial control interface, that allows
flexibility in routing and mixing audio channels.
The LM4855 is designed for cellular phone, PDA, and
other portable handheld applications. It delivers high
quality output power from a surface-mount package
and requires only six external components.
The industry leading DSBGA package only utilizes
2mm x 2.3mm of PCB space, making the LM4855 the
most space efficient audio sub system available
today.

Functional Description
1.
CIN
This is the input coupling capacitor. It blocks the DC voltage and couples the input signal to the amplifier's input terminals.
CIN also creates a highpass filter with the internal resistor Ri (Input Impedance) at fc = 1/(2πRiCIN).
2.
CS
This is the supply bypass capacitor. It filters the supply voltage applied to the VDD pin and helps maintain the LM4855's
PSRR.
3.
CB
This is the BYPASS pin capacitor. It filters the VDD / 2 voltage and helps maintain the LM4855's PSRR.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
SPI PIN DESCRIPTION
DATA: This is the serial data input pin.
CLK: This is the clock input pin.
ENB: This is the SPI enable pin and is active-high.
SPI OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The serial data bits are organized into a field which contains 8 bits of data defined by Table 2. The Data 0 to
Data 2 bits determine the output mode of the LM4855 as shown in Table 3. The Data 3 to Data 7 bits determine
the volume level setting as illustrated by Table 4. For each SPI transfer, the data bits are written to the DATA pin
with the least significant bit (LSB) first. All serial data are sampled at the rising edge of the CLK signal. Once all
the data bits have been sampled, ENB transitions from logic-high to logic-low to complete the SPI sequence. All
8 bits must be received before any data latch can occur. Any excess CLK and DATA transitions will be ignored
after the eighth rising clock edge has occurred. For any data sequence longer than 8 bits, only the first 8 bits will
get loaded into the shift register and the rest of the bits will be disregarded.

EXPOSED-DAP MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
The LM4855's exposed-DAP (die attach paddle) package (NHW) provides a low thermal resistance between the
die and the PCB to which the part is mounted and soldered. This allows rapid heat transfer from the die to the
surrounding PCB copper area heatsink, copper traces, ground plane, and finally, surrounding air. The result is a
low voltage audio power amplifier that produces 1.1W dissipation in a 8Ω load at ≤ 1% THD+N. This high power
is achieved through careful consideration of necessary thermal design. Failing to optimize thermal design may
compromise the LM4855's high power performance and activate unwanted, though necessary, thermal shutdown
protection.
The NHW package must have its DAP soldered to a copper pad on the PCB. The DAP's PCB copper pad is
then, ideally, connected to a large plane of continuous unbroken copper. This plane forms a thermal mass, heat
sink, and radiation area. Place the heat sink area on either outside plane in the case of a two-sided or multi-layer
PCB. (The heat sink area can also be placed on an inner layer of a multi-layer board. The thermal resistance,
however, will be higher.) Connect the DAP copper pad to the inner layer or backside copper heat sink area with
6 (3 X 2) (NHW) vias. The via diameter should be 0.012in - 0.013in with a 1.27mm pitch. Ensure efficient thermal
conductivity by plugging and tenting the vias with plating and solder mask, respectively.
Best thermal performance is achieved with the largest practical copper heat sink area. If the heatsink and
amplifier share the same PCB layer, a nominal 2.5in2 (min) area is necessary for 5V operation with a 4Ω load.
Heatsink areas not placed on the same PCB layer as the LM4855 should be 5in2 (min) for the same supply
voltage and load resistance. The last two area recommendations apply for 25°C ambient temperature. Increase
the area to compensate for ambient temperatures above 25°C. In all circumstances and under all conditions, the
junction temperature must be held below 150°C to prevent activating the LM4855's thermal shutdown protection.
Further detailed and specific information concerning PCB layout and fabrication and mounting an NHW (WQFN)
is found in TI's AN1187.
PCB LAYOUT AND SUPPLY REGULATION CONSIDERATIONS FOR DRIVING 3Ω AND 4Ω
LOADS
Power dissipated by a load is a function of the voltage swing across the load and the load's impedance. As load
impedance decreases, load dissipation becomes increasingly dependent on the interconnect (PCB trace and
wire) resistance between the amplifier output pins and the load's connections. Residual trace resistance causes
a voltage drop, which results in power dissipated in the trace and not in the load as desired. For example, 0.1Ω
trace resistance reduces the output power dissipated by a 4Ω load from 1.7W to 1.6W. The problem of
decreased load dissipation is exacerbated as load impedance decreases. Therefore, to maintain the highest load
dissipation and widest output voltage swing, PCB traces that connect the output pins to a load must be as wide
as possible.
Poor power supply regulation adversely affects maximum output power. A poorly regulated supply's output
voltage decreases with increasing load current. Reduced supply voltage causes decreased headroom, output
signal clipping, and reduced output power. Even with tightly regulated supplies, trace resistance creates the
same effects as poor supply regulation. Therefore, making the power supply traces as wide as possible helps
maintain full output voltage swing.
BRIDGE CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION
As shown in Figure 1, the LM4855 consists of three pairs of output amplifier blocks (A4-A6). A4, A5, and A6
consist of bridged-tied amplifier pairs that drive LOUT, ROUT, and SPKROUT respectively. The LM4855 drives a
load, such as a speaker, connected between outputs, SPKROUT+ and SPKROUT-. In the amplifier block A6, the
output of the amplifier that drives SPKROUT- serves as the input to the unity gain inverting amplifier that drives
SPKROUT+.
This results in both amplifiers producing signals identical in magnitude, but 180° out of phase. Taking advantage
of this phase difference, a load is placed between SPKROUT- and SPKROUT+ and driven differentially
(commonly referred to as 'bridge mode'). This results in a differential or BTL gain of:
AVD = 2(Rf/Ri) = 2

Bridge mode amplifiers are different from single-ended amplifiers that drive loads connected between a single
amplifier's output and ground. For a given supply voltage, bridge mode has a distinct advantage over the singleended configuration: its differential output doubles the voltage swing across the load. Theoretically, this produces
four times the output power when compared to a single-ended amplifier under the same conditions. This increase
in attainable output power assumes that the amplifier is not current limited and that the output signal is not
clipped.
Another advantage of the differential bridge output is no net DC voltage across the load. This is accomplished by
biasing SPKROUT- and SPKROUT+ outputs at half-supply. This eliminates the coupling capacitor that single
supply, single-ended amplifiers require. Eliminating an output coupling capacitor in a typical single-ended
configuration forces a single-supply amplifier's half-supply bias voltage across the load. This increases internal IC
power dissipation and may permanently damage loads such as speakers.
POWER DISSIPATION
Power dissipation is a major concern when designing a successful single-ended or bridged amplifier.
A direct consequence of the increased power delivered to the load by a bridge amplifier is higher internal power
dissipation. The LM4855 has a pair of bridged-tied amplifiers driving a handsfree speaker, SPKROUT. The
maximum internal power dissipation operating in the bridge mode is twice that of a single-ended amplifier. From
Equation (2), assuming a 5V power supply and an 8Ω load, the maximum SPKROUT power dissipation is
634mW.
PDMAX-SPKROUT = 4(VDD)2/(2π2 RL): Bridge Mode
(2)
The LM4855 also has 2 pairs of bridged-tied amplifiers driving stereo headphones, ROUT and LOUT. The
maximum internal power dissipation for ROUT and LOUT is given by equation (3) and (4). From Equations (3)
and (4), assuming a 5V power supply and a 32Ω load, the maximum power dissipation for LOUT and ROUT is
158mW, or 316mW total.
PDMAX-LOUT = 4(VDD)2/(2π2 RL): Bridge Mode
PDMAX-ROUT = 4(VDD)2/(2π2 RL): Bridge Mode
(3)
(4)
The maximum internal power dissipation of the LM4855 occurs when all 3 amplifiers pairs are simultaneously on;
and is given by Equation (5).
PDMAX-TOTAL = PDMAX-SPKROUT + PDMAX-LOUT + PDMAX-ROUT
(5)
The maximum power dissipation point given by Equation (5) must not exceed the power dissipation given by
Equation (6):
PDMAX' = (TJMAX - TA)/ θJA
(6)
The LM4855's TJMAX = 150°C. In the YZR package, the LM4855's θJA is 48°C/W. In the NHW package soldered
to a DAP pad that expands to a copper area of 2.5in2 on a PCB, the LM4855's θJA is 42°C/W. At any given
ambient temperature TA, use Equation (6) to find the maximum internal power dissipation supported by the IC
packaging. Rearranging Equation (6) and substituting PDMAX-TOTAL for PDMAX' results in Equation (7). This
equation gives the maximum ambient temperature that still allows maximum stereo power dissipation without
violating the LM4855's maximum junction temperature.
TA = TJMAX - PDMAX-TOTALθJA
(7)
For a typical application with a 5V power supply and an 8Ω load, the maximum ambient temperature that allows
maximum stereo power dissipation without exceeding the maximum junction temperature is approximately 104°C
for the YZR package.
TJMAX = PDMAX-TOTAL θJA + TA
(8)
Equation (8) gives the maximum junction temperature TJMAX. If the result violates the LM4855's 150°C, reduce
the maximum junction temperature by reducing the power supply voltage or increasing the load resistance.
Further allowance should be made for increased ambient temperatures.
The above examples assume that a device is a surface mount part operating around the maximum power
dissipation point. Since internal power dissipation is a function of output power, higher ambient temperatures are
allowed as output power or duty cycle decreases. If the result of Equation (5) is greater than that of Equation (6),
then decrease the supply voltage, increase the load impedance, or reduce the ambient temperature. If these
measures are insufficient, a heat sink can be added to reduce θJA. The heat sink can be created using additional

copper area around the package, with connections to the ground pin(s), supply pin and amplifier output pins.
External, solder attached SMT heatsinks such as the Thermalloy 7106D can also improve power dissipation.
When adding a heat sink, the θJA is the sum of θJC, θCS, and θSA. (θJC is the junction-to-case thermal impedance,
θCS is the case-to-sink thermal impedance, and θSA is the sink-to-ambient thermal impedance.) Refer to the
Typical Performance Characteristics curves for power dissipation information at lower output power levels.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
As with any power amplifier, proper supply bypassing is critical for low noise performance and high power supply
rejection. Applications that employ a 5V regulator typically use a 10µF in parallel with a 0.1µF filter capacitors to
stabilize the regulator's output, reduce noise on the supply line, and improve the supply's transient response.
However, their presence does not eliminate the need for a local 1.0µF tantalum bypass capacitance connected
between the LM4855's supply pins and ground. Keep the length of leads and traces that connect capacitors
between the LM4855's power supply pin and ground as short as possible. Connecting a 1µF capacitor, CB,
between the BYPASS pin and ground improves the internal bias voltage's stability and improves the amplifier's
PSRR. The PSRR improvements increase as the bypass pin capacitor value increases. Too large, however,
increases turn-on time and can compromise the amplifier's click and pop performance. The selection of bypass
capacitor values, especially CB, depends on desired PSRR requirements, click and pop performance (as
explained in the section Selecting External Components) system cost, and size constraints.
SELECTING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Input Capacitor Value Selection
Amplifying the lowest audio frequencies requires high value input coupling capacitor (Ci in Figure 1). A high value
capacitor can be expensive and may compromise space efficiency in portable designs. In many cases, however,
the speakers used in portable systems, whether internal or external, have little ability to reproduce signals below
150Hz. Applications using speakers with this limited frequency response reap little improvement by using large
input capacitor.
The internal input resistor (Ri) and the input capacitor (Ci) produce a high pass filter cutoff frequency that is found
using Equation (9).
fc = 1 / (2πRiCi)
(9)
As an example when using a speaker with a low frequency limit of 150Hz, Ci, using Equation (9) is 0.063µF. The
0.22µF Ci shown in Figure 1 allows the LM4855 to drive high efficiency, full range speaker whose response
extends below 40Hz.

Bypass Capacitor Value Selection
Besides minimizing the input capacitor size, careful consideration should be paid to value of CB, the capacitor
connected to the BYPASS pin. Since CB determines how fast the LM4855 settles to quiescent operation, its
value is critical when minimizing turn-on pops. The slower the LM4855's outputs ramp to their quiescent DC
voltage (nominally VDD/2), the smaller the turn-on pop. Choosing CB equal to 1.0µF along with a small value of Ci
(in the range of 0.1µF to 0.39µF), produces a click-less and pop-less shutdown function. As discussed above,
choosing Ci no larger than necessary for the desired bandwidth helps minimize clicks and pops. CB's value
should be in the range of 5 times to 7 times the value of Ci. This ensures that output transients are eliminated
when power is first applied or the LM4855 resumes operation after shutdown.
