FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
•
•
•
•
•
With its directly-coupled output technology, the
LM48821 is a variable gain audio power amplifier
capable of delivering 52mWRMS per channel into a
16Ω single-ended load with less than 1% THD+N
from a 3V power supply. The I2C volume control has
a range of –76dB to 18dB.

The LM48821's Tru-GND technology utilizes
advanced charge pump technology to generate the
LM48821’s negative supply voltage. This eliminates
the need for output-coupling capacitors typically used
with single-ended loads.
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed
specifically to provide high quality output power with a
minimal amount of external components. The
LM48821 does not require output coupling capacitors
or bootstrap capacitors, and therefore, is ideally
suited for mobile phone and other low voltage
applications where minimal power consumption is a
primary requirement.
The LM48821 incorporates selectable low-power
consumption shutdown and channel select modes.
The LM48821 contains advanced output transient
suppression circuitry that eliminates noises which
would otherwise occur during turn-on and turn-off
transitions.

All voltages are measured with respect to the GND pin unless otherwise specified.
Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for
which the device is functional but do not specify performance limits. Electrical Characteristics state DC and AC electrical specifications
under particular test conditions which ensure specific performance limits. This assumes that the device is within the Operating Ratings.
Specifications are for parameters where no limit is given, however, the typical value is a good indication of device performance.
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 in Absolute Maximum Ratings,
whichever is lower. For the LM48821, see power derating currents for more information.
Human body model, 100pF discharged through a 1.5kΩ resistor.

I2C COMPATIBLE INTERFACE
The LM48821 uses a serial data bus that conforms to the I2C protocol. Controlling the chip’s functions is
accomplished with two wires: serial clock (SCL) and serial data (SDA). The clock line is uni-directional. The data
line is bi-directional (open-collector). The maximum clock frequency specified by the I2C standard is 400kHz. In
this discussion, the master is the controlling microcontroller and the slave is the LM48821.
The bus format for the I2C interface is shown in Figure 57. The bus format diagram is broken up into six major
sections: The Start Signal, the I2C Address, an Acknowledge bit, the I2C data, second Acknowledge bit, and the
Stop Signal.
The start signal is generated by lowering the data signal while the clock signal is high. The start signal will alert
all devices attached to the I2C bus to check the incoming address against their own address.
The 8-bit chip address is sent next, most significant bit first. The data is latched in on the rising edge of the clock.
Each address bit must be stable while the clock level is high.

SNAS354A – JUNE 2007 – REVISED MAY 2013
After the last bit of the address bit is sent, the master releases the data line high (through a pull-up resistor).
Then the master sends an acknowledge clock pulse. If the LM48821 has received the address correctly, then it
holds the data line low during the clock pulse. If the data line is not held low during the acknowledge clock pulse,
then the master should abort the rest of the data transfer to the LM48821. The 8 bits of data are sent next, most
significant bit first. Each data bit should be valid while the clock level is stable high.
After the data byte is sent, the master must check for another acknowledge to see if the LM48821 received the
data.
If the master has more data bytes to send to the LM48821, then the master can repeat the previous two steps
until all data bytes have been sent.
The stop signal ends the transfer. To signal stop , the data signal goes high while the clock signal is high. The
data line should be held high when not in use.
The LM48821's I2C address is shown in Table 1. The I2C data register and its control bit names are shown in
Table 2. The data values for the volume control are shown in Table 3.
I2C INTERFACE POWER SUPPLY PIN (I2CVDD)
The LM48821’s I2C interface is powered up through the I2CVDD pin. The LM48821’s I2C interface operates at a
voltage level set by the I2CVDD pin. This voltage can be independent from the main power supply pin (VDD). This
is ideal whenever logic levels for the I2C interface are dictated by a microcontroller or microprocessor that is
operating at a lower supply voltage than the main battery of a portable system.
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 3.3V voltage regulator typically use a 10μF in parallel with a 0.1μF filter
capacitors to stabilize the regulator’s output, reduce noise on the regulated supply lines, and improve the
regulator’s transient response. However, their presence does not eliminate the need for a local 1.0μF tantalum
bypass capacitance connected between the LM48821’s supply pins and ground. Keep the length of leads and
traces that connect capacitors between the LM48821’s power supply pins and ground as short as possible.
ELIMINATING THE OUTPUT COUPLING CAPACITOR
The LM48821 features a low noise inverting charge pump that generates an internal negative supply voltage.
This allows the LM48821 to reference its amplifier outputs to ground instead of a half-supply voltage, like
traditional capacitivel-coupled headphone amplifiers. Because there is no DC bias voltage associated with either
stereo output, the large DC blocking capacitors (typically 220μF) are not necessary. The coupling capacitors are
replaced by two, small ceramic charge pump capacitors, saving board space and cost.
Eliminating the output coupling capacitors also improves low frequency response. In traditional headphone
amplifiers, the headphone impedance and the output capacitor form a high pass filter that not only blocks the DC
component of the output, but also attenuates low frequencies, impacting the bass response. Because the
LM48821 does not require the output coupling capacitors, the low frequency response of the device is not
degraded.
In addition to eliminating the output coupling capacitors, the ground referenced output nearly doubles the output
voltage swing and available dynamic range of the LM48821 when compared to a traditional capacitively-coupled
output headphone amplifier operating from the same supply voltage.
OUTPUT TRANSIENT ELIMINATED
The LM48821 contains advanced circuitry that virtually eliminates output transients (’clicks' and 'pops’). This
circuitry attenuates output transients when the supply voltage is first applied or when the part resumes operation
after using the shutdown mode.
POWER DISSIPATION
Power dissipation is a major concern when using any power amplifier and must be thoroughly understood to
ensure a successful design. Equation 1 states the maximum power dissipation point for a single-ended amplifier
operating at a given supply voltage and driving a specified output load.
PDMAX = (2VDD)2 / (2π2RL)

Since the LM48821 has two power amplifiers in one package, the maximum internal power dissipation point is
twice that of the number which results from Equation 1. Even with large internal power dissipation, the LM48821
does not require heat sinking over a large range of ambient temperatures. The maximum power dissipation point
obtained must not be greater than the power dissipation that results from Equation 2:
PDMAX = (TJMAX - TA) / (θJA)
(2)
For the DSBGA package, θJA = 105°C/W. TJMAX = 150°C for the LM48821. Depending on the ambient
temperature, TA, of the system surroundings, Equation 2 can be used to find the maximum internal power
dissipation supported by the IC packaging. If the result of Equation 1 is greater than that of Equation 2, then
either the supply voltage must be decreased, the load impedance increased or TA reduced. Power dissipation is
a function of output power and thus, if typical operation is not around the maximum power dissipation point, the
ambient temperature may be increased accordingly.
SELECTING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Optimizing the LM48821’s performance requires properly selecting external components. Though the LM48821
operates well when using external components with wide tolerances, best performance is achieved by optimizing
component values.
Charge Pump Capacitor Selection
Use low ESR (equivalent series resistance) (
