LM4922 Ground-Referenced, Ultra Low Noise, Fixed Gain, 80mW Stereo Headphone Amplifier General Description Key Specifications The LM4922 is a ground referenced, fixed-gain audio power amplifier capable of delivering 80mW of continuous average power into a 16Ω single-ended load with less than 1% THD+N from a 3V power supply. The LM4922 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. The LM4922 features an Automatic Standby Mode circuitry (patent pending). In the absence of an input signal, after approximately 12 seconds, the LM4922 goes into low current standby mode. The LM4922 recovers into full power operating mode immediately after a signal is applied to either the left or right input pins. This feature saves power supply current in battery operated applications. Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to provide high quality output power with a minimal amount of external components. The LM4922 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 LM4922 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 LM4922 features an internal thermal shutdown protection mechanism. The LM4922 contains advanced pop & click circuitry that eliminates noises which would otherwise occur during turn-on and turn-off transitions.

Equation 1 states the maximum power dissipation point for a single-ended amplifier operating at a given supply voltage and driving a specified output load. 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 LM4922 audio amplifier which is a CMOS device. PDMAX = (VDD) Before applying any signal to the inputs or shutdown pins of the LM4922, 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. 2 / (2π2RL) (1) Since the LM4922 has two operational amplifiers in one package, the maximum internal power dissipation point is twice that of the number which results from Equation 1. Even with large internal power dissipation, the LM4922 does not require heat sinking over a large range of ambient temperatures. From Equation 1, assuming a 3V power supply and a 16Ω load, the maximum power dissipation point is 28mW per amplifier. Thus the maximum package dissipation point is 56mW. The maximum power dissipation point obtained must not be greater than the power dissipation that results from Equation 2: ELIMINATING THE OUTPUT COUPLING CAPACITOR The LM4922 features a low noise inverting charge pump that generates an internal negative supply voltage. This allows the outputs of the LM4922 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 LM4922 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 LM4922 when compared to a traditional headphone amplifier operating from the same supply voltage. PDMAX = (TJMAX - TA) / (θJA) (2) For the micro SMD package, θJA = 105˚C/W. TJMAX = 150˚C for the LM4922. Depending on the ambient temperature, TA, of the system surroundings, Equation 2 can be used to find the maximum internal power dissipation supported by the IC packaging. If the result of Equation 1 is greater than that of Equation 2, then either the supply voltage must be decreased, the load impedance increased or TA reduced. For the typical application of a 3V power supply, with a 16Ω load, the maximum ambient temperature possible without violating the maximum junction temperature is approximately 144˚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. OUTPUT TRANSIENT (’CLICK AND POPS’) ELIMINATED The LM4922 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. 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 LM4922’s power supply pin and ground as short as possible. AMPLIFIER CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION As shown in Figure 2, the LM4922 has two internal operational amplifiers. The two amplifiers have internally configured gain, the closed loop gain is set by selecting the ratio of Rf to Ri. Consequently, the gain for each channel of the IC is AUTOMATIC STANDBY MODE The LM4922 features Automatic Standby Mode circuitry (patent pending). In the absence of an input signal, after approximately 12 seconds, the LM4922 goes into low current standby mode. The LM4922 recovers into full power operating mode immediately after a signal, which is greater than the input threshold voltage, is applied to either the left or right input pins. The input threshold voltage is not a static value, as the supply voltage increases, the input threshold voltage decreases. This feature reduces power supply current consumption in battery operated applications. Please see also the graph entitled Representation of Automatic Standby Mode Behavior in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. AV = -(Rf / Ri) = 1.5 V/V where RF = 30kΩ and Ri = 20kΩ. Since this is an output ground-referenced amplifier, by driving the headphone through ROUT (Pin C2) and LOUT (Pin D2), the LM4922 does not require output coupling capacitors. The typical single-ended amplifier configuration requires large, expensive output capacitors. 17 www.national.com LM4922 POWER DISSIPATION Application Information LM4922 Application Information negative supply. Higher ESR capacitors result in reduced output power from the audio amplifiers. Charge pump load regulation and output impedance are affected by the value of the flying capacitor (C1). A larger valued C1 (up to 3.3uF) improves load regulation and minimizes charge pump output resistance. Beyond 3.3uF, the switch-on resistance dominates the output impedance for capacitor values above 2.2uF. (Continued) To ensure correct operation of Automatic Standby Mode, proper layout techniques should be implemented. Separating PGND and SGND can help reduce noise entering the LM4922 in noisy environments. Auto Standby mode works best when output impedance of the audio source driving LM4922 is equal or less than 50 Ohms. While Automatic Standby Mode reduces power consumption very effectively during silent periods, maximum power saving is achieved by putting the device into shutdown when it is not in use. The output ripple is affected by the value and ESR of the output capacitor (C2). Larger capacitors reduce output ripple on the negative power supply. Lower ESR capacitors minimize the output ripple and reduce the output impedance of the charge pump. MICRO POWER SHUTDOWN The voltage applied to the SD_LC (shutdown left channel) pin and the SD_RC (shutdown right channel) pin controls the LM4922’s shutdown function. When active, the LM4922’s micropower shutdown feature turns off the amplifiers’ bias circuitry, reducing the supply current. The trigger point is 0.3*CPVDD for a logic-low level, and 0.7*CPVDD for logichigh 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. There are a few ways to control the micro-power shutdown. These include using a single-pole, single-throw switch, a microprocessor, or a microcontroller. When using a switch, connect an external 100kΩ pull-up resistor between the SD_LC/SD_RC pins and VDD. Connect the switch between the SD_LC/SD_RC pins and ground. Select normal amplifier operation by opening the switch. Closing the switch connects the SD_LC/SD_RC pins to ground, activating micropower shutdown. The switch and resistor guarantee that the SD_LC/SD_RC pins will not float. This prevents unwanted state changes. In a system with a microprocessor or microcontroller, use a digital output to apply the control voltage to the SD_LC/SD_RC pins. Driving the SD_LC/SD_RC pins with active circuitry eliminates the pull-up resistor. The LM4922 charge pump design is optimized for 2.2uF, low ESR, ceramic, flying, and output capacitors. Input Capacitor Value Selection Amplifying the lowest audio frequencies requires high value input coupling capacitors (Ci in Figure 1). A high value capacitor can be expensive and may compromise space efficiency in portable designs. In many cases, however, the speakers used in portable systems, whether internal or external, have little ability to reproduce signals below 150Hz. Applications using speakers with this limited frequency response reap little improvement by using high value input and output capacitors. Besides affecting system cost and size, Ci has an effect on the LM4922’s click and pop performance. The magnitude of the pop is directly proportional to the input capacitor’s size. Thus, pops can be minimized by selecting an input capacitor value that is no higher than necessary to meet the desired −3dB frequency. As shown in Figure 1, the internal input resistor, Ri and the input capacitor, Ci, produce a -3dB high pass filter cutoff frequency that is found using Equation (3). Conventional headphone amplifiers require output capacitors; Equation (3) can be used, along with the value of RL, to determine towards the value of output capacitor needed to produce a –3dB high pass filter cutoff frequency. SELECTING PROPER EXTERNAL COMPONENTS Optimizing the LM4922’s performance requires properly selecting external components. Though the LM4922 operates well when using external components with wide tolerances, best performance is achieved by optimizing component values. fi-3dB = 1 / 2πRiCi Also, careful consideration must be taken in selecting a certain type of capacitor to be used in the system. Different types of capacitors (tantalum, electrolytic, ceramic) have unique performance characteristics and may affect overall system performance. (See the section entitled Charge Pump Capacitor Selection.) Charge Pump Capacitor Selection Use low ESR (equivalent series resistance) ( < 100mΩ) ceramic capacitors with an X7R dielectric for best performance. Low ESR capacitors keep the charge pump output impedance to a minimum, extending the headroom on the www.national.com (3) 18 LM4922 Application Information (Continued) LM4922 micro SMD DEMO BOARD ARTWORK Top Layer Mid Layer 1 20158205 20158206 Mid Layer 2 Bottom Layer 20158208 20158207 19 www.national.com LM4922 Revision History Rev Date Description 1.0 7/06/05 Edited the TL Markings 1.1 9/09/05 Taken out the Demo Boards.
