Monolithic Linear IC
LA4632
10 W Two-Channel BTL AF Power
Amplifier for Audio Applications
Overview
The LA4632 is a pin compatible version of the LA4631 (5 W × two channel single ended type) BTL power amplifier
IC. The LA4632's pin compatibility makes it possible to share a common printed circuit board among a series of end
products differentiated by power rank. Note that the LA4631 has a pin 13, and that it is necessary to provide a hole for
this pin if the same printed circuit board is to be shared. Also, some of the external components used differ. The
LA4632 provides a full complement of built-in protection circuits, including protection against shorting to the power
supply, shorting to ground, load shorting, and excessive temperatures.

• Caution
Although the LA4632 is basically pin compatible with the LA4631, there are certain differences in the external
components and the way the devices are used.
External Components and Usage Notes
C1, C2: These are input coupling capacitors; we recommend a value of 4.7 µF or lower. A zero bias type circuit is
used for the LA4632 input circuits, and the input pin potential is close to zero volts. Therefore the polarity
must be considered in conjunction with the DC potential of the circuit connected to the LA4632 front end.
If there is a large potential difference between the plus and minus sides of the input capacitors, the
stabilization time when power is first applied can be reduced by reducing the value of the input
capacitors, as long as that reduction does not compromise the low-band characteristics.
C3:
This capacitor is used both as a ripple filter and to set the amplifier's startup time. A value of 47 µF is
recommended. With this value, the startup time (the time from the point power is first applied until the
point an output is generated) will be about 0.6 to 0.7 seconds. (See note 1.)
C4, R1: This RC circuit is used for mute smoothing. C4 is required even if the muting function is not used. (See
note 2.)
C5:
Power supply capacitor
C6 to C9, R2 to R5: These components form oscillation prevention RC circuits. We recommend using polyester
film capacitors (Mylar capacitors) with excellent thermal characteristics for C6 through C9. (R2 to R5 are
2.2 Ω 1/4 W resistors.)
*1. Startup time
The LA4632 features a built-in startup circuit that can be adjusted somewhat by changing the value of the capacitor
connected to pin 1. (With the recommended value of 47 µF, the time is about 0.6 to 0.7 seconds (a time that changes
somewhat with VCC). That time can be extended to about 0.8 to 0.9 seconds by inserting a capacitor with a value of
10 µF in parallel.) Since using a capacitor with a value smaller than the recommended value may reduce the SVRR
between ground and the output, we cannot recommend using a smaller value.
*2. Signal muting function
The signal muting function is turned on by connecting the recommended RC circuit (10 µF, 15 kΩ) to pin 6 and
applying a voltage of +5 V to the mute pin. This circuit implements a muting function with extremely low impulse
noise.
This RC circuit is used to smooth the attack and recovery times, and since the 10 µF capacitor also has the function
of smoothing after the startup time, it is required even if the signal muting function is not used.

When an voltage of +5 V is applied to the mute pin through the
external 15 kΩ resistor, the pin 6 voltage becomes about 1.85 V. (The
muting function activation level in the specifications is 1.7 V
minimum.) The pin 6 influx current (Imute) at this time will be
roughly 210 µA.
Although it is possible to change the mute pin applied voltage or the
values of the mute pin external components, if the pin 6 voltage (and
pin 6 influx current) is too high, or if the pin 6 external component
time constant is too short, the amplitude of impulse noise in the
system may rise. This phenomenon must be taken into account when
designing this circuit.
The IC's pin 5 is a standby pin. The amplifier is turned on when the
voltage applied to this pin is about 2 V or higher. (The value in the
specifications is 2.5 V minimum.) If a voltage of +5 V is directly
applied to the standby pin, the pin 5 influx current will be about 230
µA.

15 kΩ
If a voltage that exceeds the upper limit voltage given in the
specifications (10 V) is applied as the standby pin voltage, calculate a
value for an external resistor RSTB from the following formula so that
the pin 5 influx current does not increase excessively (use a value of under about 500 µA as the initial target value).
RSTB =
Applied voltage - 2VBE (about 1.55 V)
ISTB (Under 500 µA)
– 15 kΩ
Usage Notes
Notes on the Maximum Ratings
If this IC is used in the vicinity of the maximum ratings, even the slightest fluctuations in the operating conditions could
cause those ratings to be exceeded, making the destruction of the device possible. Applications must be designed with
adequate margins in the supply voltage and other parameters so that the devices is always used in ranges that do not
exceed the maximum ratings.
Notes on Protection Circuits
While the LA4632 provides a full complement of built-in protection circuits, care is required in their use. In particular,
be careful not to inadvertently short IC pins to each other.
[Notes on the short to power, short to ground, and load shorting protection circuit]
• This protection circuit operates when an abnormal short such as a short to power (a short between an output and
VCC), a short to ground (a short between an output and ground), or a load short (a short between the output ± sides)
occurs. Although this circuit may not operate when the VCC voltage is under about 9 V, the thermal protection
circuit is thought adequate to protect the IC in that case.
• This protection circuit is the type that continues to operate while the above listed short state continues and recovers
automatically as soon as the abnormality is resolved. However, there are cases where, depending on the operating
conditions, the protection circuit locks and the protection operation continues. In these cases, the protection circuit
can be cleared by switching to standby mode or cutting and reapplying power.
• Note that if the output is shorted to power in the state where the IC is in the standby state (amplifier operation is
turned off) and VCC is over about 20 V, an offset may occur between the plus and minus outputs. If a load is
connected in this state, current may flow in through the load and the IC may be destroyed.
• In the following usage conditions, a symptom in which the output audio is cut off at high outputs due to protection
circuit operation. Depending on the end product specifications, it may be necessary to check for this phenomenon.
• Situations where both channels are operating in a manner that the IOPeak per channel exceeds 1 A at low RL (high
loads) and high VCC (The higher the chip temperature the easier it is for this phenomenon to occur.)
The "Allowable operating supply voltage range (VCC op)" item in the operating conditions specifications provides
specific target operating conditions so that the above phenomenon will not occur under severe usage conditions
(high temperatures, high outputs. (See the different VCC op ranges for different RL values.)
No.8178-5/8
LA4632
[Thermal Protection Circuit]
• The LA4632 includes an on-chip thermal protection circuit to prevent degradation or destruction of the IC due to
abnormal heating. If this IC's junction temperature (Tj) rises above 160°C due to and insufficient heat sink or other
reason, the thermal protection circuit will operate and gradually reduce the output signal level. This protection
function clears automatically as the temperature falls.
Notes on Printed Circuit Boards
When designing the printed circuit board pattern, keep the inputs and VCC, and the inputs and the outputs, away from
each other. (This is to prevent increased distortion, oscillation, and other problems.)
Notes on Heat Sink Attachment
Foreign matter such as metal chips must not be trapped between the IC's heat sink and the externally attached heat sink.
If a grease is used between the IC and the external heat sink, be sure to apply the grease evenly to the whole contact
surface.
Other Notes
The LA4632 is a BTL power amplifier IC. When connecting test equipment, the test equipment used for the input
system and the test equipment used for the output system must not share the same ground.
