1 Watt Fully Differential Audio Power Amplifier With
Shutdown Select and Fixed 6dB Gain
General Description
Key Specifications
The LM4899 is a fully differential audio power amplifier primarily designed for demanding applications in mobile phones
and other portable communication device applications. It is
capable of delivering 1 watt of continuous average power to
an 8Ω load with less than 1% distortion (THD+N) from a
5VDC power supply.
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to
provide high quality output power with a minimal amount of
external components. The LM4899 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 LM4899 features a low-power consumption shutdown
mode. To facilitate this, Shutdown may be enabled by either
logic high or low depending on mode selection. Driving the
shutdown mode pin either high or low enables the shutdown
select pin to be driven in a likewise manner to enable Shutdown. Additionally, the LM4899 features an internal thermal
shutdown protection mechanism.
The LM4899 contains advanced pop & click circuitry which
virtually eliminates noises which would otherwise occur during turn-on and turn-off transitions.
The LM4899 has an internally fixed gain of 6dB.

cient thermal conductivity by plating-through and solder-filling
the vias.
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 LM4899 should be 5in2 (min) for
the same supply voltage and load resistance. The last two
area recommendations apply for 25°C ambient temperature.
In all circumstances and conditions, the junction temperature
must be held below 150°C to prevent activating the LM4899's
thermal shutdown protection. The LM4899's power de-rating
curve in the Typical Performance Characteristics shows the
maximum power dissipation versus temperature. Example
PCB layouts for the exposed-DAP TSSOP and LLP packages
are shown in the Demonstration Board Layout section. Further detailed and specific information concerning PCB layout,
fabrication, and mounting an LLP package is available from
National Semiconductor's package Engineering Group under
application note AN-1187.
Application Information
DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER EXPLANATION
The LM4899 is a fully differential audio amplifier that features
differential input and output stages. Internally this is accomplished by two circuits: a differential amplifier and a common
mode feedback amplifier that adjusts the output voltages so
that the average value remains VDD/2. The LM4899 features
precisely matched internal gain-setting resistors, thus eliminating the need for external resistors and fixing the differential
gain at AVD = 6dB.
A differential amplifier works in a manner where the difference
between the two input signals is amplified. In most applications, this would require input signals that are 180° out of
phase with each other.
The LM4899 provides what is known as a "bridged mode"
output (bridge-tied-load, BTL). This results in output signals
at Vo1 and Vo2 that are 180° out of phase with respect to each
other. Bridged mode operation is different from the singleended amplifier configuration that connects the load between
the amplifier output and ground. A bridged amplifier design
has distinct advantages over the single-ended configuration:
it provides differential drive to the load, thus doubling maximum possible output swing for a specific supply voltage. Four
times the output power is possible compared with a singleended amplifier under the same conditions. This increase in
attainable output power assumes that the amplifier is not current limited or clipped.
A bridged configuration, such as the one used in the LM4899,
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. BTL
configuration eliminates the output coupling capacitor required in single-supply, single-ended amplifier configurations.
If an output coupling capacitor is not used in a single-ended
output configuration, the half-supply bias across the load
would result in both increased internal IC power dissipation
as well as permanent loudspeaker damage. Further advantages of bridged mode operation specific to fully differential
amplifiers like the LM4899 include increased power supply
rejection ratio, common-mode noise reduction, and click and
pop reduction.
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 1.4W to 1.37W. This 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.
EXPOSED-DAP PACKAGE PCB MOUNTING
CONSIDERATIONS
The LM4899's exposed-DAP (die attach paddle) package
(LD) provide 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 traces, ground plane and, finally, surrounding air. The
result is a low voltage audio power amplifier that produces
1.4W at ≤ 1% THD with a 4Ω load. This high power is
achieved through careful consideration of necessary thermal
design. Failing to optimize thermal design may compromise
the LM4899's high power performance and activate unwanted, though necessary, thermal shutdown protection. The LD
package must have its DAP soldered to a copper pad on the
PCB. The DAP's PCB copper pad is connected to a large
plane of continuous unbroken copper. This plane forms a
thermal mass and heat sink and radiation area. Place the heat
sink area on either outside plane in the case of a two-sided
PCB, or on an inner layer of a board with more than two layers.
Connect the DAP copper pad to the inner layer or backside
copper heat sink area with 4 (2x2) vias. The via diameter
should be 0.012in - 0.013in with a 0.050in pitch. Ensure effi-

POWER DISSIPATION
Power dissipation is a major concern when designing a successful amplifer, whether the amplifier is bridged or singleended. Equation 2 states the maximum power dissipation
point for a single-ended amplifier operating at a given supply
voltage and driving a specified output load.
PDMAX = (VDD)2 / (2π2RL) Single-Ended
However, a direct consequence of the increased power delivered to the load by a bridge amplifier is an increase in
internal power dissipation versus a single-ended amplifier operating at the same conditions.
PDMAX = 4*(VDD)2 / (2π2RL) Bridge Mode
(2)
Since the LM4899 has bridged outputs, the maximum internal
power dissipation is 4 times that of a single-ended amplifier.
Even with this substantial increase in power dissipation, the

PDMAX = (TJMAX - TA) / θJA
not eliminate the need for bypassing the supply nodes of the
LM4899. Although the LM4899 will operate without the bypass capacitor CB, although the PSRR may decrease. A 1µF
capacitor is recommended for CB. This value maximizes
PSRR performance. Lesser values may be used, but PSRR
decreases at frequencies below 1kHz. The issue of CB selection is thus dependant upon desired PSRR and click and
pop performance.
(3)
SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, the
LM4899 contains shutdown circuitry that is used to turn off the
amplifier's bias circuitry. In addition, the LM4899 contains a
Shutdown Mode pin, allowing the designer to designate
whether the part will be driven into shutdown with a high level
logic signal or a low level logic signal. This allows the designer
maximum flexibility in device use, as the Shutdown Mode pin
may simply be tied permanently to either VDD or GND to set
the LM4899 as either a "shutdown-high" device or a "shutdown-low" device, respectively. The device may then be
placed into shutdown mode by toggling the Shutdown Select
pin to the same state as the Shutdown Mode pin. For
simplicity's sake, this is called "shutdown same", as the
LM4899 enters shutdown mode whenever the two pins are in
the same logic state. The trigger point for either shutdown
high or shutdown low is shown as a typical value in the Supply
Current vs Shutdown Voltage graphs in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. It is best to switch between
ground and supply for maximum performance. While the device may be disabled with shutdown voltages in between
ground and supply, the idle current may be greater than the
typical value of 0.1µA. In either case, the shutdown pin should
be tied to a definite voltage to avoid unwanted state changes.
In many applications, a microcontroller or microprocessor
output is used to control the shutdown circuitry, which provides a quick, smooth transition to shutdown. Another solution
is to use a single-throw switch in conjunction with an external
pull-up resistor (or pull-down, depending on shutdown high or
low application). This scheme guarantees that the shutdown
pin will not float, thus preventing unwanted state changes.
The LM4899's θJA in an MUA10A package is 190°C/W. Depending on the ambient temperature, TA, of the system surroundings, Equation 4 can be used to find the maximum
internal power dissipation supported by the IC packaging. If
the result of Equation 3 is greater than that of Equation 4, then
either the supply voltage must be decreased, the load
impedance increased, the ambient temperature reduced, or
the θJA reduced with heatsinking. In many cases, larger traces
near the output, VDD, and GND pins can be used to lower the
θJA. The larger areas of copper provide a form of heatsinking
allowing higher power dissipation. 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 30°C provided that device operation is around the maximum power dissipation point. Recall that internal power dissipation is a function of output
power. If typical operation is not around the maximum power
dissipation point, the LM4899 can operate at higher ambient
temperatures. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics curves for power dissipation information.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
As with any power amplifier, proper supply bypassing is critical for low noise performance and high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR). The capacitor location on both the bypass
and power supply pins should be as close to the device as
possible. A larger half-supply bypass capacitor improves
PSRR because it increases half-supply stability. Typical applications employ a 5V regulator with 10µF and 0.1µF bypass
capacitors that increase supply stability. This, however, does

LM4899
LM4899 does not require additional heatsinking under most
operating conditions and output loading. From Equation 3,
assuming a 5V power supply and an 8Ω load, the maximum
power dissipation point is 625mW. The maximum power dissipation point obtained from Equation 3 must not be greater
than the power dissipation results from Equation 4:

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, modifications, enhancements, improvements,
and other changes to its products and services at any time and to discontinue any product or service without notice. Customers should
obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All products are
sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TI’s standard
warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where
mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask work right,
or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI 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 third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction 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. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive
business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional
restrictions.
Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all
express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not
responsible or liable for any such statements.
TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably
be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing
such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and
acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products
and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be
provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in
such safety-critical applications.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are
specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military
specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at
the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are
designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated
products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
