LM4755
Stereo 11W Audio Power Amplifier with Mute
General Description
The LM4755 is a stereo audio amplifier capable of delivering
11W per channel of continuous average output power to a
4Ω load or 7W per channel into 8Ω using a single 24V supply
at 10% THD+N. The internal mute circuit and pre-set gain
resistors provide for a very economical design solution.
Output power specifications at both 20V and 24V supplies
and low external component count offer high value to consumer electronic manufacturers for stereo TV and compact
stereo applications. The LM4755 is specifically designed for
single supply operation.

Note 1: All voltages are measured with respect to the GND pin (5), unless otherwse specified.
Note 2: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. Electrical Characteristics state DC and AC electrical specifications under particular test conditions which
guarantee specific performance limits. This assumes that the device is within the Operating Ratings. Specifications are not guaranteed for parameters where no limit
is given, however, the typical value is a good indication of device performance.
Note 3: For operating at case temperatures above 25˚C, the device must be derated based on a 150˚C maximum junction temperature and a thermal resistance
of θJC = 2˚C/W (junction to case). Refer to the section Determining the Maximum Power Dissipation in the Application Information section for more information.

mentioned earlier in the External Components section
these capacitors create high-pass filters with their corresponding input/output impedances. The Typical Application Circuit shown in Figure 1 shows input and output
capacitors of 0.1 µF and 1,000 µF respectively. At the input,
with an 83 kΩ typical input resistance, the result is a high
pass 3 dB point occurring at 19 Hz. There is another high
pass filter at 39.8 Hz created with the output load resistance
of 4Ω. Careful selection of these components is necessary to
ensure that the desired frequency response is obtained. The
Frequency Response curves in the Typical Performance
Characteristics section show how different output coupling
capacitors affect the low frequency roll-off.
Application Information
The LM4755 contains circuitry to pull down the bias line
internally, effectively shutting down the input stage. An external R-C should be used to adjust the timing of the pulldown. If the bias line is pulled down too quickly, currents
induced in the internal bias resistors will cause a momentary
DC voltage to appear across the inputs of each amplifier’s
internal differential pair, resulting in an output DC shift towards Vsupply. An R-C timing circuit should be used to limit
the pull-down time such that output “pops” and signal
feedthroughs will be minimized. The pull-down timing is a
function of a number of factors, including the internal mute
circuitry, the voltage used to activate the mute, the bias
capacitor, the half-supply voltage, and internal resistances
used in the half-supply generator. Table 1 shows a list of
recommended values for the external R-C.
OPERATING IN BRIDGE-MODE
Though designed for use as a single-ended amplifier, the
LM4755 can be used to drive a load differentially (bridgemode). Due to the low pin count of the package, only the
non-inverting inputs are available. An inverted signal must
be provided to one of the inputs. This can easily be done with
the use of an inexpensive op-amp configured as a standard
inverting amplifier. An LF353 is a good low-cost choice. Care
must be taken, however, for a bridge-mode amplifier must
theoretically dissipate four times the power of a single-ended
type. The load seen by each amplifier is effectively half that
of the actual load being used, thus an amplifier designed to
drive a 4Ω load in single-ended mode should drive an 8Ω
load when operating in bridge-mode.

PREVENTING OSCILLATIONS
With the integration of the feedback and bias resistors onchip, the LM4755 fits into a very compact package. However,
due to the close proximity of the non-inverting input pins to
the corresponding output pins, the inputs should be AC
terminated at all times. If the inputs are left floating, the
amplifier will have a positive feedback path through high
impedance coupling, resulting in a high frequency oscillation.
In most applications, this termination is typically provided by
the previous stage’s source impedance. If the application will
require an external signal, the inputs should be terminated to
ground with a resistance of 50 kΩ or less on the AC side of
the input coupling capacitors.
UNDERVOLTAGE SHUTDOWN
If the power supply voltage drops below the minimum operating supply voltage, the internal under-voltage detection
circuitry pulls down the half-supply bias line, shutting down
the preamp section of the LM4755. Due to the wide operating supply range of the LM4755, the threshold is set to just
under 9V. There may be certain applications where a higher
threshold voltage is desired. One example is a design requiring a high operating supply voltage, with large supply and
bias capacitors, and there is little or no other circuitry connected to the main power supply rail. In this circuit, when the
power is disconnected, the supply and bias capacitors will
discharge at a slower rate, possibly resulting in audible
output distortion as the decaying voltage begins to clip the
output signal. An external circuit may be used to sense for
the desired threshold, and pull the bias line (pin 6) to ground
to disable the input preamp. Figure 6 shows an example of
such a circuit. When the voltage across the zener diode
drops below its threshold, current flow into the base of Q1 is
interrupted. Q2 then turns on, discharging the bias capacitor.
This discharge rate is governed by several factors, including
the bias capacitor value, the bias voltage, and the resistor at
the emitter of Q2. An equation for approximating the value of
the emitter discharge resistor, R, is given below:
R = (0.7v) / (Cb • (VCC/2) / 0.1s)
Note that this is only a linearized approximation based on a
discharge time of 0.1s. The circuit should be evaluated and
adjusted for each application.
As mentioned earlier in the Built-in Mute Circuit section,
when using an external circuit to pull down the bias line, the
rate of discharge will have an effect on the turn-off induced
distortions. Please refer to the Built-in Mute Circuit section
for more information.

THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
Heat Sinking
Proper heatsinking is necessary to ensure that the amplifier
will function correctly under all operating conditions. A heatsink that is too small will cause the die to heat excessively
and will result in a degraded output signal as the thermal
protection circuitry begins to operate.
The choice of a heatsink for a given application is dictated by
several factors: the maximum power the IC needs to dissipate, the worst-case ambient temperature of the circuit, the
junction-to-case thermal resistance, and the maximum junction temperature of the IC. The heat flow approximation
equation used in determining the correct heatsink maximum
thermal resistance is given below:
TJ–TA = PDMAX • (θJC + θCS + θSA)
where:
PDMAX = maximum power dissipation of the IC
TJ(˚C) = junction temperature of the IC
TA(˚C) = ambient temperature
θJC(˚C/W) = junction-to-case thermal resistance of the IC
θCS(˚C/W) = case-to-heatsink thermal resistance (typically
0.2 to 0.5 ˚C/W)
θSA(˚C/W) = thermal resistance of heatsink
When determining the proper heatsink, the above equation
should be re-written as:
θSA ≤ [(TJ–TA) / PDMAX] - θJC–θCS
TO-263 HEATSINKING
Surface mount applications will be limited by the thermal
dissipation properties of printed circuit board area. The TO263 package is not recommended for surface mount applications with VS > 16V due to limited printed circuit board
area. There are TO-263 package enhancements, such as
clip-on heatsinks and heatsinks with adhesives, that can be
used to improve performance.
Standard FR-4 single-sided copper clad will have an approximate Thermal resistance (θSA) ranging from:

20–27˚C/W
2 x 2 in. sq.
16–23˚C/W
PDMAX from PD vs PO Graph:
(Continued)
PDMAX ≈ 3.7W
Calculating PDMAX:
PDMAX = VCC2/(π2RL) = (12V)2/π2(4Ω)) = 3.65W
(TA=28˚C, Sine wave
testing, 1 oz. Copper)
Calculating Heatsink Thermal Resistance:
θSA < TJ − TA / PDMAX − θJC − θCS
θSA < 120˚C/3.7W − 2.0˚C/W − 0.2˚C/W = 30.2˚C/W
The above values for θSA vary widely due to dimensional
proportions (i.e. variations in width and length will vary θSA).
For audio applications, where peak power levels are short in
duration, this part will perform satisfactory with less
heatsinking/copper clad area. As with any high power design
proper bench testing should be undertaken to assure the
design can dissipate the required power. Proper bench testing requires attention to worst case ambient temperature
and air flow. At high power dissipation levels the part will
show a tendency to increase saturation voltages, thus limiting the undistorted power levels.
Therefore the recommendation is to use 1.5 x 1.5 square
inch of single-sided copper clad.
Example 2: (Stereo Single-Ended Output)
Given:
VS=12V
θJC=2˚C/W
DETERMINING MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION
For a single-ended class AB power amplifier, the theoretical
maximum power dissipation point is a function of the supply
voltage, VS, and the load resistance, RL and is given by the
following equation:
PDMAX from PD vs PO Graph:
PDMAX ≈ 3.7W
Calculating PDMAX:
PDMAX = VCC2/(π2RL)= (12V) 2/(π2(4Ω)) = 3.65W
Calculating Heatsink Thermal Resistance:
θSA < [(TJ − TA) / PDMAX] − θJC − θCS
θSA < 100˚C/3.7W − 2.0˚C/W − 0.2˚C/W = 24.8˚C/W
Therefore the recommendation is to use 2.0 x 2.0 square
inch of single-sided copper clad.
Example 3: (Bridged Output)
Given:
TA=50˚C
TJ=150˚C
RL=8Ω
VS=12V
θJC=2˚C/W
(single channel)
PDMAX (W) = [VS2 / (2 • π2 • RL)]
The above equation is for a single channel class-AB power
amplifier. For dual amplifiers such as the LM4755, the equation for calculating the total maximum power dissipated is:
(dual channel)
PDMAX (W) = 2 • [VS2 / (2 • π2 • RL)]
or
VS2 / (π2 • RL)
(Bridged Outputs)
PDMAX (W) = 4[VS2 / (2π2 • RL)]
Calculating PDMAX:
PDMAX = 4[VCC2/(2π2RL)] = 4(12V)2/(2π2(8Ω)) = 3.65W
Calculating Heatsink Thermal Resistance:
θSA < [(TJ − TA) / PDMAX] − θJC − θCS
θSA < 100˚C / 3.7W − 2.0˚C/W − 0.2˚C/W = 24.8˚C/W
Therefore the recommendation is to use 2.0 x 2.0 square
inch of single-sided copper clad.

LAYOUT AND GROUND RETURNS
Proper PC board layout is essential for good circuit performance. When laying out a PC board for an audio power
amplifier, particular attention must be paid to the routing of
the output signal ground returns relative to the input signal
and bias capacitor grounds. To prevent any ground loops,
the ground returns for the output signals should be routed
separately and brought together at the supply ground. The
input signal grounds and the bias capacitor ground line
should also be routed separately. The 0.1 µF high frequency
supply bypass capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the IC.
Calculations:
2 • PDMAX = 2 • [VS2 / 2 • π2 • RL)] = (24V)2 / (2 • π2 • 4Ω)
= 14.6W
θSA ≤ [(TJ-TA) / PDMAX] - θJC–θCS = [ (150˚C - 55˚C) / 14.6W]
- 2˚C/W–0.2˚C/W = 4.3˚C/W
Conclusion: Choose a heatsink with θSA ≤ 4.3˚C/W.
