LM48860 Ground-Referenced, Ultra Low Noise, Fixed Gain Stereo Headphone Amplifier
General Description
The LM48860 is a ground referenced, fixed-gain audio power amplifier capable of delivering 40mW per channel of continuous average power into a 16Ω single-ended load with less than 1% THD+N from a 3V power supply. The LM48860 features a new circuit technology that utilizes a charge pump to generate a negative reference voltage. This allows the outputs to be biased about ground, thereby eliminating output-coupling capacitors typically used with normal single-ended loads. Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to provide high quality output power with a minimal amount of external components. The LM48860 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 LM48860 features a low-power consumption shutdown mode selectable for either channel separately. This is accomplished by driving either the SD_RC (Shutdown Right Channel) or SD_LC (Shutdown Left Channel) (or both) pins with logic low, depending on which channel is desired shutdown. Additionally, the LM48860 features an internal thermal shutdown protection mechanism. The LM48860 contains advanced pop & click circuitry that eliminates noises which would otherwise occur during turn-on and turn-off transitions. The LM48860 has an internal fixed gain of 1.5V/V.

Application Information
SUPPLY VOLTAGE SEQUENCING It is a good general practice to first apply the supply voltage to a CMOS device before any other signal or supply on other pins. This is also true for the LM48860 audio amplifier which is a CMOS device. Before applying any signal to the inputs or shutdown pins of the LM48860, it is important to apply a supply voltage to the VDD pins. After the device has been powered, signals may be applied to the shutdown pins (see MICRO POWER SHUTDOWN) and input pins. ELIMINATING THE OUTPUT COUPLING CAPACITOR The LM48860 features a low noise inverting charge pump that generates an internal negative supply voltage. This allows the outputs of the LM48860 to be biased about GND instead of a nominal DC voltage, like traditional headphone amplifiers. Because there is no DC component, 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 LM48860 does not require the output coupling capacitors, the low frequency response of the device is not degraded by external components. In addition to eliminating the output coupling capacitors, the ground referenced output nearly doubles the available dynamic range of the LM48860 when compared to a traditional headphone amplifier operating from the same supply voltage. OUTPUT TRANSIENT ('CLICK AND POPS') ELIMINATED The LM48860 contains advanced circuitry that virtually eliminates output transients ('clicks and pops'). This circuitry prevents all traces of transients when the supply voltage is first applied or when the part resumes operation after coming out of shutdown mode. AMPLIFIER CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION As shown in Figure 2, the LM48860 has two internal operational amplifiers. The two amplifiers have internally configured gain. Since this is an output ground-referenced amplifier, the LM48860 does not require output coupling capacitors. POWER DISSIPATION From the graph (THD+N vs Output Power , VDD = 3V, RL = 16Ω, f = 1kHz, 22kH BW, two channels in phase, page 6) assuming a 3V power supply and a 16Ω load, the maximum power dissipation point and thus the maximum package dissipation point is 281mW. The maximum power dissipation point obtained must not be greater than the power dissipation that results from Equation 1. PDMAX = (TJMAX - TA) / (θJA) (1)
graph is greater than that of Equation 1, then either the supply voltage must be decreased, the load impedance increased or TA reduced (see power derating curves). For the application of a 5V power supply, with a 16Ω load, the maximum ambient temperature possible without violating the maximum junction temperature is approximately 110°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 may be increased accordingly. 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 3V power supply typically use a 4.7µF capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF ceramic filter capacitor to stabilize the power supply's output, reduce noise on the supply line, and improve the supply's transient response. Keep the length of leads and traces that connect capacitors between the LM48860's power supply pin and ground as short as possible. MICRO POWER SHUTDOWN The voltage applied to the SD_LC (shutdown left channel) pin and the SD_RC (shutdown right channel) pin controls the LM48860’s shutdown function. When active, the LM48860’s micropower shutdown feature turns off the amplifiers’ bias circuitry, reducing the supply current. The trigger point is 0.45V for a logic-low level, and 1.2V for logic-high level. The low 0.01µA (typ) shutdown current is achieved by applying a voltage that is as near as ground a possible to the SD_LC/ SD_RC pins. A voltage that is higher than ground may increase the shutdown current. Do not let SD_LC/SD_RC float, connect either to high or low. SELECTING PROPER EXTERNAL COMPONENTS Optimizing the LM48860's performance requires properly selecting external components. Though the LM48860 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) (
