Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed
specifically to provide high quality output power with a
minimal amount of external components. The
LM4890 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 LM4890 features a low-power consumption
shutdown mode, which is achieved by driving the
shutdown pin with logic low. Additionally, the LM4890
features an internal thermal shutdown protection
mechanism.
The LM4890 contains advanced pop & click circuitry
which eliminates noises which would otherwise occur
during turn-on and turn-off transitions.
The LM4890 is unity-gain stable and can be
configured by external gain-setting resistors.

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 ensure specific 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 not ensured 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 TI Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and specifications.
If the product is in shutdown mode and VDD exceeds 6V (to a max of 8V VDD), then most of the excess current will flow through the ESD
protection circuits. If the source impedance limits the current to a max of 10 ma, then the part will be protected. If the part is enabled
when VDD is greater than 5.5V and less than 6.5V, no damage will occur, although operational life will be reduced. Operation above
6.5V with no current limit will result in permanent damage.
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 LM4890, see power derating curves for additional information.
Human body model, 100 pF discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor.
All bumps have the same thermal resistance and contribute equally when used to lower thermal resistance. All bumps must be
connected to achieve specified thermal resistance.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
BRIDGED CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION
As shown in Figure 7, the LM4890 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
RIN while the second amplifier's gain is fixed by the two internal 20kΩ resistors. Figure 7 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 by 180°. Consequently, the differential gain for the IC is
AVD= 2 *(Rf/RIN)
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. 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 closedloop gain without causing excessive clipping, please refer to the Audio Power Amplifier Design section.
A bridge configuration, such as the one used in the LM4890, 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 IC power dissipation and also possible loudspeaker damage.
EXPOSED-DAP PACKAGE PCB MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE LM4890LD
The LM4890LD's exposed-DAP (die attach paddle) package (LD) provides a low thermal resistance between the
die and the PCB to which the part is mounted and soldered. The LM4890LD package should have its DAP
soldered to the grounded copper pad (heatsink) under the LM4890LD (the NC pins, no connect, and ground pins
should also be directly connected to this copper pad-heatsink area). The area of the copper pad (heatsink) can
be determined from the LD Power Derating graph. If the multiple layer copper heatsink areas are used, then
these inner layer or backside copper heatsink areas should be connected to each other with 4 (2 x 2) vias. The
diameter for these vias should be between 0.013 inches and 0.02 inches with a 0.050inch pitch-spacing. Ensure
efficient thermal conductivity by plating through and solder-filling the vias. Further detailed information concerning
PCB layout, fabrication, and mounting an WSON package is available from TI's Package Engineering Group
under application note AN1187.
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. Since the LM4890 has two operational amplifiers in one package, the
maximum internal power dissipation is 4 times that of a single-ended amplifier. The maximum power dissipation
for a given application can be derived from the power dissipation graphs or from Equation 1.
PDMAX = 4*(VDD)2/(2π2RL)
(1)
It is critical that the maximum junction temperature TJMAX of 150°C is not exceeded. TJMAX can be determined
from the power derating curves by using PDMAX and the PC board foil area. By adding additional copper foil, the
thermal resistance of the application can be reduced, resulting in higher PDMAX. Additional copper foil can be
added to any of the leads connected to the LM4890. Refer to the Application Information on the LM4890
reference design board for an example of good heat sinking. If TJMAX still exceeds 150°C, then additional
changes must be made. These changes can include reduced supply voltage, higher load impedance, or reduced
ambient temperature. Internal power dissipation is a function of output power. Refer to the Typical Performance
Characteristics curves for power dissipation information for different output powers and output loading.

POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
As with any 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. Typical applications employ a 5V regulator with 10 µF tantalum or electrolytic capacitor and a ceramic
bypass capacitor which aid in supply stability. This does not eliminate the need for bypassing the supply nodes of
the LM4890. The selection of a bypass capacitor, especially CBYPASS, is dependent upon PSRR requirements,
click and pop performance (as explained in the section, Proper Selection of External Components), system cost,
and size constraints.
SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, the LM4890 contains a shutdown pin to externally turn off
the amplifier's bias circuitry. This shutdown feature turns the amplifier off when a logic low is placed on the
shutdown pin. By switching the shutdown pin to ground, the LM4890 supply current draw will be minimized in idle
mode. While the device will be disabled with shutdown pin voltages less than 0.5VDC, the idle current may be
greater than the typical value of 0.1µA. (Idle current is measured with the shutdown pin grounded).
In many applications, a microcontroller or microprocessor output is used to control the shutdown circuitry to
provide a quick, smooth transition into shutdown. Another solution is to use a single-pole, single-throw switch in
conjunction with an external pull-up resistor. When the switch is closed, the shutdown pin is connected to ground
and disables the amplifier. If the switch is open, then the external pull-up resistor will enable the LM4890. This
scheme ensures that the shutdown pin will not float thus preventing unwanted state changes.
SHUTDOWN OUTPUT IMPEDANCE
For Rf = 20k ohms:
ZOUT1 (between Out1 and GND) = 10k||50k||Rf = 6kΩ
ZOUT2 (between Out2 and GND) = 10k||(40k+(10k||Rf)) = 8.3kΩ
ZOUT1-2 (between Out1 and Out2) = 40k||(10k+(10k||Rf)) = 11.7kΩ
The -3dB roll off for these measurements is 600kHz
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 LM4890 is tolerant of external component combinations,
consideration to component values must be used to maximize overall system quality.
The LM4890 is unity-gain stable which gives the designer maximum system flexibility. The LM4890 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
1Vrms are available from sources such as audio codecs. Please refer to the section, 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
bandwidth is dictated by the choice of external components shown in Figure 7. The input coupling capacitor, CIN,
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 100Hz to
150Hz. Thus, using a large input capacitor may not increase actual system performance.

SNAS138L – SEPTEMBER 2001 – REVISED MAY 2013
In addition to system cost and size, click and pop performance is effected by the size of the input coupling
capacitor, CIN. A larger input coupling capacitor requires more charge to reach its quiescent DC voltage
(nominally 1/2 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, CBYPASS, is the most critical component to minimize turn-on pops since it determines how fast
the LM4890 turns on. The slower the LM4890's outputs ramp to their quiescent DC voltage (nominally 1/2VDD),
the smaller the turn-on pop. Choosing CBYPASS equal to 1.0µF along with a small value of CIN, (in the range of
0.1µF to 0.39µF), should produce a virtually clickless and popless shutdown function. While the device will
function properly, (no oscillations or motorboating), with CBYPASS equal to 0.1µF, the device will be much more
susceptible to turn-on clicks and pops. Thus, a value of CBYPASS equal to 1.0µF 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 the Output Power vs Supply Voltage graphs in the Typical Performance Characteristics section, the supply
rail can be easily found. A second way to determine the minimum supply rail is to calculate the required Vopeak
using Equation 2 and add the output voltage. Using this method, the minimum supply voltage would be (Vopeak +
(VODTOP + VODBOT)), where VODBOT and VODTOP are extrapolated from the Dropout Voltage vs Supply Voltage curve in
theTypical Performance Characteristics.
(2)
5V is a standard voltage which in most applications is chosen for the supply rail. Extra supply voltage creates
headroom that allows the LM4890 to reproduce peaks in excess of 1W without producing audible distortion. 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 the POWER DISSIPATION section.
Once the power dissipation equations have been addressed, the required differential gain can be determined
from Equation 3.
(3)
(4)
Rf/RIN = AVD/2
From Equation 3, the minimum AVD is 2.83; use AVD = 3.
Since the desired input impedance is 20 kΩ, and with an AVD gain of 3, a ratio of 1.5:1 of Rf to RIN results in an
allocation of RIN = 20 kΩ and Rf = 30 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.
fL = 100Hz/5 = 20Hz
fH = 20kHz * 5 = 100kHz
As stated in the External Components Description section, RIN in conjunction with CIN create a highpass filter.
CIN ≥ 1/(2π*20 kΩ*20Hz) = 0.397µF; use 0.39µF

The high frequency pole is determined by the product of the desired frequency pole, fH, and the differential gain,
AVD. With a AVD = 3 and fH = 100kHz, the resulting GBWP = 300kHz which is much smaller than the LM4890
GBWP of 2.5MHz. This calculation shows that if a designer has a need to design an amplifier with a higher
differential gain, the LM4890 can still be used without running into bandwidth limitations.
Figure 68. HIGHER GAIN AUDIO AMPLIFIER
The LM4890 is unity-gain stable and requires no external components besides gain-setting resistors, an input
coupling capacitor, and proper supply bypassing in the typical application. However, if a closed-loop differential
gain of greater than 10 is required, a feedback capacitor (C4) may be needed as shown in Figure 68 to
bandwidth limit the amplifier. This feedback capacitor creates a low pass filter that eliminates possible high
frequency oscillations. Care should be taken when calculating the -3dB frequency in that an incorrect
combination of R3 and C4 will cause rolloff before 20kHz. A typical combination of feedback resistor and
capacitor that will not produce audio band high frequency rolloff is R3 = 20kΩ and C4 = 25pf. These components
result in a -3dB point of approximately 320 kHz.

PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES
This section provides practical guidelines for mixed signal PCB layout that involves various digital/analog power
and ground traces. Designers should note that these are only "rule-of-thumb" recommendations and the actual
results will depend heavily on the final layout.
GENERAL MIXED SIGNAL LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS
Power and Ground Circuits
For 2 layer mixed signal design, it is important to isolate the digital power and ground trace paths from the
analog 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. The only extra parts required will be some jumpers.
Single-Point Power / Ground Connections
The analog power traces should be connected to the digital traces through a single point (link). A "Pi-filter" can
be helpful in minimizing High Frequency noise coupling between the analog and digital sections. It is further
recommended to put digital and analog power traces over the corresponding digital and analog ground traces to
minimize noise coupling.
Placement of Digital and Analog Components
All digital components and high-speed digital signals traces should be located as far away as possible from
analog components and circuit traces.
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 cross talk.
