Boomer audio power amplifiers are designed
specifically to provide high quality output power with a
minimal number of external components. The
LM4954 does not require output coupling capacitors
or bootstrap capacitors, and therefore is ideally suited
for lower-power portable applications where minimal
space and power consumption are primary
requirements.
The LM4954 features a low-power consumption
global shutdown mode which is achieved by driving
the shutdown pin with logic low. Additionally, the
LM4954 features an internal thermal shutdown
protection mechanism.
The LM4954 contains advanced pop & click circuitry
which eliminates noises that would otherwise occur
during turn-on and turn-off transitions.
The LM4954 is unity-gain stable and can be
configured by external gain-setting resistors.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
BRIDGE CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION
As shown in Figure 1, the LM4954 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 20kΩ 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 by 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. 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 LM4954, 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.
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 LM4954 has two operational amplifiers in one package, the
maximum internal power dissipation is four 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 2.
PDMAX = 4*(VDD)2/(2π2RL)
(2)
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 from the free air value, resulting in higher PDMAX. Additional
copper foil can be added to any of the leads connected to the LM4954. It is especially effective when connected
to VDD, GND, and the output pins. Refer to the application information on the LM4954 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 10µF 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 LM4954. The selection of a bypass capacitor, especially CB, is dependent upon PSRR requirements, click
and pop performance (as explained in the section, PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS),
system cost, and size constraints.

SNAS292B – JUNE 2005 – REVISED APRIL 2013
SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, the LM4954 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 LM4954 supply current draw will be minimized in idle
mode. While the device will be disabled with shutdown pin voltages less than 0.4VDC, the idle current may be
greater than the typical value of 0.01µA. (Idle current is measured with the shutdown pin tied to ground). The
LM4954 has an internal 75kΩ pull-down resistor. If the shutdown pin is left floating the IC will automatically enter
shutdown mode.
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 LM4954 is tolerant of external component combinations,
consideration to component values must be used to maximize overall system quality.
The LM4954 is unity-gain stable which gives the designer maximum system flexibility. The LM4954 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 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 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 100Hz to
150Hz. Thus, using a large input capacitor may not increase actual system performance.
In addition to system cost and size, click and pop performance is affected by the size of the input coupling
capacitor, Ci. A larger input coupling capacitor requires more charge to reach its quiescent DC voltage (nominally
1/2VDD). 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.
Choosing CB equal to 2.2µF along with a small value of Ci (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 CB equal to 0.1µF.
AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER DESIGN
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.
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 and Equation 4.

Figure 27. HIGHER GAIN AUDIO AMPLIFIER
The LM4954 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 (CF) may be needed as shown in Figure 27 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 RF and CF will cause rolloff before 20kHz. A typical combination of feedback resistor and
capacitor that will not produce audio band high frequency rolloff is RF = 20kΩ and CF = 25pf. These components
result in a -3dB point of approximately 320 kHz. To calculate the value of the capacitor for a given -3dB point,
use Equation 5 below:
CF = 1/(2πf3dBRF) (F)

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 a two 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 requires a greater amount of design time but will not increase the final price of the board.
The only extra parts required may 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.
