Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed
specifically to provide high quality output power with a
minimal amount of external components. Since the
LM4862 does not require output coupling capacitors,
bootstrap capacitors, or snubber networks, it is
optimally suited for low-power portable systems.
The LM4862 features an externally controlled, lowpower consumption shutdown mode, as well as an
internal thermal shutdown protection mechanism.
The unity-gain stable LM4862 can be configured by
external gain-setting resistors.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
BRIDGE CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION
As shown in Figure 1, the LM4862 has two operational amplifiers internally, allowing for a few different amplifier
configurations. The first amplifier's gain is externally configurable, while the second amplifier is internally fixed in
a unity-gain, inverting configuration. The closed-loop gain of the first amplifier is set by selecting the ratio of Rf to
Ri while the second amplifier's gain is fixed by the two internal 10 kΩ resistors. Figure 1 shows that the output of
amplifier one serves as the input to amplifier two which results in both amplifiers producing signals identical in
magnitude, but out of phase 180°. Consequently, the differential gain for the IC is
AVD = 2*(Rf/Ri)
(1)
By driving the load differentially through outputs Vo1 and Vo2, an amplifier configuration commonly referred to as
“bridged mode” is established. Bridged mode operation is different from the classical single-ended amplifier
configuration where one side of the load is connected to ground.
A bridge amplifier design has a few distinct advantages over the single-ended configuration, as it provides
differential drive to the load, thus doubling output swing for a specified supply voltage. Consequently, four times
the output power is possible as compared to a single-ended amplifier under the same conditions. This increase in
attainable output power assumes that the amplifier is not current limited or clipped. In order to choose an
amplifier's closed-loop gain without causing excessive clipping which will damage high frequency transducers
used in loudspeaker systems, please refer to AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER DESIGN.
A bridge configuration, such as the one used in LM4862, also creates a second advantage over single-ended
amplifiers. Since the differential outputs, Vo1 and Vo2, are biased at half-supply, no net DC voltage exists across
the load. This eliminates the need for an output coupling capacitor which is required in a single supply, singleended amplifier configuration. Without an output coupling capacitor, the half-supply bias across the load would
result in both increased internal lC power dissipation and also permanent loudspeaker damage.
POWER DISSIPATION
Power dissipation is a major concern when designing a successful amplifier, whether the amplifier is bridged or
single-ended. A direct consequence of the increased power delivered to the load by a bridge amplifier is an
increase in internal power dissipation. Equation 2 states the maximum power dissipation point for a bridge
amplifier operating at a given supply voltage and driving a specified output load.
PDMAX = 4*(VDD)2/(2π2RL)
(2)
Since the LM4862 has two operational amplifiers in one package, the maximum internal power dissipation is 4
times that of a single-ended amplifier. Even with this substantial increase in power dissipation, the LM4862 does
not require heatsinking. From Equation 2, assuming a 5V power supply and an 8Ω load, the maximum power
dissipation point is 625 mW. The maximum power dissipation point obtained from Equation 2 must not be greater
than the power dissipation that results from Equation 3:
PDMAX = (TJMAX–TA)/θJA
(3)
For package D0008A, θJA = 170°C/W and for package P0008E, θJA = 107°C/W. TJMAX = 150°C for the LM4862.
Depending on the ambient temperature, TA, of the system surroundings, Equation 3 can be used to find the
maximum internal power dissipation supported by the IC packaging. If the result of Equation 2 is greater than
that of Equation 3, then either the supply voltage must be decreased, the load impedance increased, or the
ambient temperature reduced. For the typical application of a 5V power supply, with an 8Ω load, the maximum
ambient temperature possible without violating the maximum junction temperature is approximately 44°C
provided that device operation is around the maximum power dissipation point. Power dissipation is a function of
output power and thus, if typical operation is not around the maximum power dissipation point, the ambient
temperature can be increased. Refer to Typical Performance Characteristics for power dissipation information for
lower output powers.

POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
As with any power amplifier, proper supply bypassing is critical for low noise performance and high power supply
rejection. The capacitor location on both the bypass and power supply pins should be as close to the device as
possible. As displayed in Typical Performance Characteristics, the effect of a larger half supply bypass capacitor
is improved PSSR due to increased half-supply stability. Typical applications employ a 5V regulator with 10 μF
and a 0.1 μF bypass capacitors which aid in supply stability, but do not eliminate the need for bypassing the
supply nodes of the LM4862. The selection of bypass capacitors, especially CB, is thus dependant upon desired
PSSR requirements, click and pop performance as explained in PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL
COMPONENTS, system cost, and size constraints.
SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, the LM4862 contains a shutdown pin to externally turn off
the amplifier's bias circuitry. The shutdown feature turns the amplifier off when a logic high is placed on the
shutdown pin. The trigger point between a logic low and logic high level is typically half supply. It is best to switch
between ground and supply to provide maximum device performance. By switching the shutdown pin to VDD, the
LM4862 supply current draw will be minimized in idle mode. While the device will be disabled with shutdown pin
voltages less than VDD, the idle current may be greater than the typical value of 0.7 μA. In either case, the
shutdown pin should be tied to a definite voltage because leaving the pin floating may result in an unwanted
shutdown condition.
In many applications, a microcontroller or microprocessor output is used to control the shutdown circuitry which
provides a quick, smooth transition into shutdown. Another solution is to use a single-pole, single-throw switch
that when closed, is connected to ground and enables the amplifier. If the switch is open, then a soft pull-up
resistor of 47 kΩ will disable the LM4862. There are no soft pull-down resistors inside the LM4862, so a definite
shutdown pin voltage must be applied externally, or the internal logic gate will be left floating which could disable
the amplifier unexpectedly.
AUTOMATIC SWITCHING CIRCUIT
As shown in Figure 3, the LM4862 and the LM4880 can be set up to automatically switch on and off depending
on whether headphones are plugged in. The LM4880 is used to drive a stereo single ended load, while the
LM4862 drives a bridged internal speaker.
The Automatic Switching Circuit is based upon a single control pin common in many headphone jacks which
forms a normally closed switch with one of the output pins. The output of this circuit (the voltage on pin 5 of the
LM4880) has two states based on the position of the switch. When the switch inside the headphone jack is open,
the LM4880 is enabled and the LM4862 is disabled since the NMOS inverter is on. If a headphone jack is not
present, it is assumed that the internal speakers should be on and the external speakers should be off. Thus the
voltage on the LM4862 shutdown pin is low and the voltage on the LM4880 shutdown pin is high.
The operation of this circuit is rather simple. With the switch closed, RP and RO form a resistor divider which
produces a gate voltage of less than 50 mV. The gate voltage keeps the NMOS inverter off and RSD pulls the
shutdown pin of the LM4880 to the supply voltage. This shuts down the LM4880 and places the LM4862 in its
normal mode of operation. When the switch is open, the opposite condition is produced. Resistor RP pulls the
gate of the NMOS high which turns on the inverter and produces a logic low signal on the shutdown pin of the
LM4880. This state enables the LM4880 and places the LM4862 in shutdown mode.
Only one channel of this circuit is shown in Figure 3 to keep the drawing simple but a typical application would be
a LM4880 driving a stereo headphone jack and two LM4862's driving a pair of internal speakers. If a single
internal speaker is required, one LM4862 can be used as a summer to mix the left and right inputs into a mono
channel.
PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Proper selection of external components in applications using integrated power amplifiers is critical to optimize
device and system performance. While the LM4862 is tolerant of external component combinations,
consideration to component values must be used to maximize overall system quality.

The LM4862 is unity-gain stable which gives a designer maximum system flexibility. The LM4862 should be used
in low gain configurations to minimize THD+N values, and maximize the signal to noise ratio. Low gain
configurations require large input signals to obtain a given output power. Input signals equal to or greater than 1
Vrms are available from sources such as audio codecs. Please refer to AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER DESIGN for
a more complete explanation of proper gain selection.
Besides gain, one of the major considerations is the closed-loop bandwidth of the amplifier. To a large extent, the
band-width is dictated by the choice of external components shown in Figure 1. The input coupling capacitor, Ci,
forms a first order high pass filter which limits low frequency response. This value should be chosen based on
needed frequency response for a few distinct reasons.
Selection of Input Capacitor Size
Large input capacitors are both expensive and space hungry for portable designs. Clearly, a certain sized
capacitor is needed to couple in low frequencies without severe attenuation. But in many cases the speakers
used in portable systems, whether internal or external, have little ability to reproduce signals below 100–150 Hz.
Thus using a large input capacitor may not increase system performance.
In addition to system cost and size, click and pop performance is effected by the size of the input coupling
capacitor, Ci. A larger input coupling capacitor requires more charge to reach its quiescent DC voltage (nominally
½ VDD). This charge comes from the output via the feedback and is apt to create pops upon device enable. Thus,
by minimizing the capacitor size based on necessary low frequency response, turn-on pops can be minimized.
Besides minimizing the input capacitor size, careful consideration should be paid to the bypass capacitor value.
Bypass capacitor, CB, is the most critical component to minimize turn-on pops since it determines how fast the
LM4862 turns on. The slower the LM4862's outputs ramp to their quiescent DC voltage (nominally ½ VDD), the
smaller the turn-on pop. Choosing CB equal to 1.0 μF along with a small value of Ci (in the range of 0.1 μF to
0.39 μF), should produce a virtually clickless and popless shutdown function. While the device will function
properly, (no oscillations or motorboating), with CB equal to 0.1 μF, the device will be much more susceptible to
turn-on clicks and pops. Thus, a value of CB equal to 1.0 μF or larger is recommended in all but the most cost
sensitive designs.

A designer must first determine the minimum supply rail to obtain the specified output power. By extrapolating
from Figure 10, Figure 11, and Figure 12 in Typical Performance Characteristics, the supply rail can be easily
found. A second way to determine the minimum supply rail is to calculate the required Vopeak using Equation 4
and add the dropout voltage. Using this method, the minimum supply voltage would be (Vopeak + (2*VOD)), where
VOD is extrapolated from the Figure 16 in Typical Performance Characteristics.
(4)
Using the Output Power vs Supply Voltage graph for an 8Ω load, the minimum supply rail is 4.3V. But since 5V is
a standard supply voltage in most applications, it is chosen for the supply rail. Extra supply voltage creates
headroom that allows the LM4862 to reproduce peaks in excess of 500 mW without clipping the signal. At this
time, the designer must make sure that the power supply choice along with the output impedance does not
violate the conditions explained in POWER DISSIPATION.
Once the power dissipation equations have been addressed, the required differential gain can be determined
from Equation 5.

From Equation 5, the minimum AVD is 2; use AVD = 2.
Since the desired input impedance was 20 kΩ, and with a AVD of 2, a ratio of 1:1 of Rf to Ri results in an
allocation of Ri = Rf = 20 kΩ. The final design step is to address the bandwidth requirements which must be
stated as a pair of −3 dB frequency points. Five times away from a –3 dB point is 0.17 dB down from passband
response which is better than the required ±0.25 dB specified. This fact results in a low and high frequency pole
of 20 Hz and 100 kHz respectively. As stated in External Components Description , Ri in conjunction with Ci
create a highpass filter.
Ci ≥ 1/(2π*20 kΩ*20 Hz) = 0.397 μF; use 0.39 μF.
(7)
The high frequency pole is determined by the product of the desired high frequency pole, fH, and the differential
gain, AVD. With an AVD = 2 and fH = 100 kHz, the resulting GBWP = 100 kHz which is much smaller than the
LM4862 GBWP of 12.5 MHz. This figure displays that if a designer has a need to design an amplifier with a
higher differential gain, the LM4862 can still be used without running into bandwidth problems.
