LP42005

LP42005
General Description
Features
The LP42005 is a high efficiency, 1.5W mono class-D
audio power amplifier. A low noise, filterless PWM
architecture eliminates the output filter, reducing
external component count, system cost, and simplifying
design.
Operating in a single 5V supply, LP42005 is capable of
driving 8Ω speaker load at a continuous average output
of 1.5W/10% THD+N or 1.3W/1% THD+N. The
LP42005 has high efficiency with speaker load
compared to a typical class AB amplifier. With a 3.6V
supply driving an 8Ω speaker , the efficiency for a
400mW power level is 84%.
In cellular handsets, the earpiece, speaker phone, and
melody ringer can each be driven by the LP42005. The
gain of LP42005 is externally configurable which allows
independent gain control from multiple sources by
summing signals from seperate sources.
The LP42005 is available in DFN packages.

Application information
Fully differential amplifier
The LP42005 is a fully differential amplifier with
differential inputs and outputs. The fully differential
amplifier consists of a differential amplifier and a
common-mode amplifier. The differential amplifier
ensures that the amplifier outputs a differential voltage
on the output that is equal to the differential input times
the gain. The common-mode feedback ensures that the
common-mode voltage at the output is biased around
VDD/2 regardless of the common-mode voltage at the
input. The fully differential LP42005 can still be used with
a single-ended input; however, the LP42005 should be
used with differential inputs when in a noisy environment,
like a wireless handset, to ensure maximum noise
rejection.
Figure 23 shows the LP42005 typical schematic with
differential inputs and Figure 24 shows the LP42005 with
differential inputs and input capacitors, and Figure 25
shows the LP42005 with single-ended inputs. Differential
inputs should be used whenever possible because the
single-ended inputs are much more susceptible to noise.
Advantages of Fully Differential Amplifiers
Input-coupling capacitors not required:
(1) CI is only needed for single-ended input or if
VICM is not between 0.5 V and VDD – 0.8 V. CI = 3.3
nF (with RI = 150 kΩ) gives a high-pass corner
frequency of 321 Hz.
The fully differential amplifier allows the inputs to
be biased at voltage other than mid-supply. For
example, if a codec has a mid-supply lower than
the
mid-supply
of
the
LP42005,
the
common-mode feedback circuit will adjust, and
the LP42005 outputs will still be biased at
mid-supply of the LP42005. The inputs of the
LP42005 can be biased from 0.5V to DD – 0.8 V. If
the inputs are biased outside of that range,
input-coupling capacitors are required.
Midsupply bypass capacitor, C(BYPASS), not
required:
The fully differential amplifier does not require a
bypass capacitor. This is because any shift in the
midsupply affects both positive and negative
channels equally and cancels at the differential
output.

Better RF−immunity:
-GSM handsets save power by turning on and shutting
off the RF transmitter at a rate of 217 Hz. The transmitted
signal is picked-up on input and output traces. The fully
differential amplifier cancels the signal much better than
the typical audio amplifier.

transients, spikes, or digital hash on the line, a good low
equivalent-series-resistance (ESR) ceramic capacitor,
typically1 µF, placed as close as possible to the device
DD lead works best. Placing this decoupling capacitor
close to the LP42005 is very important for the efficiency
of the class-D amplifier, because any resistance or
inductance in the trace between the device and the
capacitor can cause a loss in efficiency. For filtering
lower-frequency noise signals, a 10µF or greater
capacitor placed near the audio power amplifier would
also help, but it is not required in most applications
because of the high PSRR of this device.
Input Capacitors (CI)
Input Resistors (RI)
The input resistors (RI) set the gain of the amplifier
according to equation (1).
Resistor matching is very important in fully
differential amplifiers. The balance of the output on the
reference voltage depends on matched ratios of the
resistors. CMRR, PSRR, and cancellation of the second
harmonic distortion diminish if resistor mismatch occurs.
Therefore, it is recommended to use 1% tolerance
resistors or better to keep the performance optimized.
Matching is more important than overall tolerance.
Resistor arrays with 1% matching can be used with a
tolerance greater than 1%. Place the input resistors very
close to the LP42005 to limit noise injection on the
high-impedance nodes. For optimal performance the
gain should be set to 2 V/V or lower. Lower gain allows
the LP42005 to operate at its best, and keeps a high
voltage at the input making the inputs less susceptible to
noise.
Decoupling Capacitor (CS)
The LP42005 is a high-performance class-D audio
amplifier that requires adequate power supply
decoupling to ensure the efficiency is high and total
harmonic distortion (THD) is low. For higher frequency

The LP42005 does not require input coupling capacitors if the
design uses a differential source that is biased from
0.5 Vto VDD – 0.8 V (shown in Figure 23). If the input
signal is not biased within the recommended common
−mode input range, if needing to use the input as a high
pass filter (shown in Figure 24), or if using a single-ended
source (shown in Figure 25), input coupling capacitors
are required.
The input capacitors and input resistors form a high-pass
filter with the corner frequency, fC, determined in
equation (2).
The value of the input capacitor is important to consider
as it directly affects the bass (low frequency)
performance of the circuit. Speakers in wireless phones
cannot usually respond well to low frequencies, so the
corner frequency can be set to block low frequencies in
this application. Equation (3) is reconfigured to solve for
the
input
coupling
capacitance.
If the corner frequency is within the audio band, the
capacitors should have a tolerance of ± 10% or better,
because any mismatch in capacitance causes an
impedance mismatch at the corner frequency and
below. For a flat low-frequency response, use
large input coupling capacitors (1 µF). However,

in a GSM phone the ground signal is fluctuating at
217 Hz, but the signal from the codec does not
have the same 217 Hz fluctuation. The difference
between the two signals is amplified, sent to the
speaker, and heard as a 217 Hz hum.
Summing Input Signals
Most wireless phones or PDAs need to sum signals at
the audio power amplifier or just have two signal sources
that need separate gain. The LP42005 makes it easy to
sum signals or use separate signal sources with different
gains. Many phones now use the same speaker for the
earpiece and ringer, where the wireless phone would
require a much lower gain for the phone earpiece than
for the ringer. PDAs and phones that have stereo
headphones require summing of the right and left
channels to output the stereo signal to the mono
speaker.

Summing Two Single-Ended Input Signals
Four resistors and three capacitors are needed for
summing single-ended input signals. The gain and
corner frequencies (fc1 and fc2) for each input source
can be set independently (see equations (11) through
(14), and Figure 28). Resistor, RP, and capacitor, CP,
are needed on the IN+ terminal to match the impedance
on the IN− terminal. The single-ended inputs must be
driven by low impedance sources even if one of the
inputs is not outputting an ac signal.
