LM4892
1 Watt Audio Power Amplifier with Headphone Sense
General Description
Key Specifications
The LM4892 is an audio power amplifier primarily designed
for demanding applications in mobile phones and other portable communication device applications. It is capable of
delivering 1 watt of continuous average power to an 8Ω BTL
load with less than 1% distortion (THD+N) from a 5VDC
power supply. Switching between bridged speaker mode and
headphone (single-ended) mode is accomplished using the
headphone sense pin.
Boomer audio power amplifiers are designed specifically to
provide high quality output power with a minimal amount of
external components. The LM4892 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 LM4892 features a low-power consumption shutdown
mode, which is achieved by driving the shutdown pin with
logic low. Additionally, the LM4892 features an internal thermal shutdown protection mechanism.
The LM4892 contains advanced pop & click circuitry which
eliminates noise which would otherwise occur during turn-on
and turn-off transitions.
The LM4892 is unity-gain stable and can be configured by
external gain-setting resistors.

Note 1: All voltages are measured with respect to the ground pin, unless otherwise 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: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJMAX, θJA, and the ambient temperature TA. The maximum
allowable power dissipation is PDMAX = (TJMAX–TA)/θJA or the number given in Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. For the LM4892, see power derating

Application Information
BRIDGE CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION
As shown in Figure 1, the LM4892 has two operational
amplifiers internally, allowing for a few different amplifier
configurations. The first amplifier’s gain is externally configurable, while the second amplifier is internally fixed in a
unity-gain, inverting configuration. The closed-loop gain of
the first amplifier is set by selecting the ratio of Rf to Ri while
the second amplifier’s gain is fixed by the two internal 20kΩ
resistors. Figure 1 shows that the output of amplifier one
serves as the input to amplifier two which results in both
amplifiers producing signals identical in magnitude, but out
of phase by 180˚. Consequently, the differential gain for the
IC is
AVD= 2 *(Rf/Ri)
By driving the load differentially through outputs Vo1 and
Vo2, an amplifier configuration commonly referred to as
“bridged mode” is established. Bridged mode operation is
different from the classical single-ended amplifier configuration where one side of the load is connected to ground.
A bridge amplifier design has a few distinct advantages over
the single-ended configuration, as it provides differential
drive to the load, thus doubling output swing for a specified
supply voltage. Four times the output power is possible as
compared to a single-ended amplifier under the same conditions. This increase in attainable output power assumes
that the amplifier is not current limited or clipped. In order to
choose an amplifier’s closed-loop gain without causing excessive clipping, please refer to the Audio Power Amplifier
Design section.
A bridge configuration, such as the one used in LM4892,
also creates a second advantage over single-ended amplifiers. Since the differential outputs, Vo1 and Vo2, are biased
at half-supply, no net DC voltage exists across the load. This
eliminates the need for an output coupling capacitor which is
required in a single supply, single-ended amplifier configuration. Without an output coupling capacitor, the half-supply
bias across the load would result in both increased internal
IC power dissipation and also possible loudspeaker damage.
www.national.com
POWER DISSIPATION
Power dissipation is a major concern when designing a
successful amplifier, whether the amplifier is bridged or
single-ended. A direct consequence of the increased power
delivered to the load by a bridge amplifier is an increase in
internal power dissipation. Since the LM4892 has two operational amplifiers in one package, the maximum internal
power dissipation is 4 times that of a single-ended amplifier.
The maximum power dissipation for a given application can
be derived from the power dissipation graphs or from Equation 1.
(1)
PDMAX = 4*(VDD)2/(2π2RL)
It is critical that the maximum junction temperature TJMAX of
150˚C is not exceeded. TJMAX can be determined from the
power derating curves by using PDMAX and the PC board foil
area. By adding additional copper foil, the thermal resistance
of the application can be reduced from a free air value of
150˚C/W, resulting in higher PDMAX. Additional copper foil
can be added to any of the leads connected to the LM4892.
It is especially effective when connected to VDD, GND, and
the output pins. Refer to the application information on the
LM4892 reference design board for an example of good heat
sinking. If TJMAX still exceeds 150˚C, then additional
changes must be made. These changes can include reduced supply voltage, higher load impedance, or reduced
ambient temperature. Internal power dissipation is a function
of output power. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics curves for power dissipation information for different output powers and output loading.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
As with any amplifier, proper supply bypassing is critical for
low noise performance and high power supply rejection. The
capacitor location on both the bypass and power supply pins
should be as close to the device as possible. Typical applications employ a 5V regulator with 10µF tantalum or electrolytic capacitor and a ceramic bypass capacitor which aid
in supply stability. This does not eliminate the need for
bypassing the supply nodes of the LM4892. The selection of
a bypass capacitor, especially CB, is dependent upon PSRR

jack contact pin. When a microprocessor or switch applies a
voltage greater than 4V to the HP Sense pin, a bridgedconnected speaker is muted and Amp1 drives the headphones.

requirements, click and pop performance (as explained in
the section, Proper Selection of External Components),
system cost, and size constraints.
SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, the
LM4892 contains a shutdown pin to externally turn off the
amplifier’s bias circuitry. This shutdown feature turns the
amplifier off when a logic low is placed on the shutdown pin.
By switching the shutdown pin to ground, the LM4892 supply
current draw will be minimized in idle mode. While the device
will be disabled with shutdown pin voltages less than
0.5VDC, the idle current may be greater than the typical
value of 0.1µA. (Idle current is measured with the shutdown
pin grounded).
In many applications, a microcontroller or microprocessor
output is used to control the shutdown circuitry to provide a
quick, smooth transition into shutdown. Another solution is to
use a single-pole, single-throw switch in conjunction with an
external pull-up resistor. When the switch is closed, the
shutdown pin is connected to ground and disables the amplifier. If the switch is open, then the external pull-up resistor
will enable the LM4892. This scheme guarantees that the
shutdown pin will not float thus preventing unwanted state
changes.

PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Proper selection of external components in applications using integrated power amplifiers is critical to optimize device
and system performance. While the LM4892 is tolerant of
external component combinations, consideration to component values must be used to maximize overall system quality.
The LM4892 is unity-gain stable which gives the designer
maximum system flexibility. The LM4892 should be used in
low gain configurations to minimize THD+N values, and
maximize the signal to noise ratio. Low gain configurations
require large input signals to obtain a given output power.
Input signals equal to or greater than 1 Vrms are available
from sources such as audio codecs. Please refer to the
section, Audio Power Amplifier Design, for a more complete explanation of proper gain selection.
Besides gain, one of the major considerations is the closedloop bandwidth of the amplifier. To a large extent, the bandwidth is dictated by the choice of external components
shown in Figure 1. The input coupling capacitor, Ci, forms a
first order high pass filter which limits low frequency response. This value should be chosen based on needed
frequency response for a few distinct reasons.

HP SENSE FUNCTION
Applying a voltage between 4V and VCC to the LM4892’s
HP-Sense headphone control pin turns off Amp2 and mutes
a bridged-connected load. Quiescent current consumption is
reduced when the IC is in the single-ended mode.
Figure 2 shows the implementation of the LM4892’s headphone control function. With no headphones connected to
the headphone jack, the R4-R6 voltage divider sets the voltage applied to the HP-Sense pin (pin3) at approximately
50mV. This 50mV enables the LM4892 and places it in
bridged mode operation.
While the LM4892 operates in bridged mode, the DC potential across the load is essentially 0V. Since the HP-Sense
threshold is set at 4V, even in an ideal situation, the output
swing can not cause a false single-ended trigger. Connecting headphones to the headphone jack disconnects the
headphone jack contact pin from V01 and allows R4 to pull
the HP Sense pin up to VCC. This enables the headphone
function, turns off Amp2, and mutes the bridged speaker.
The amplifier then drives the headphone whose impedance
is in parallel with R6. Resistor R6 has negligible effect on
output drive capability since the typical impedance of headphones is 32Ω. The output coupling capacitor blocks the
amplifier’s half supply DC voltage, protecting the headphones.
Selection Of Input Capacitor Size
Large input capacitors are both expensive and space hungry
for portable designs. Clearly, a certain sized capacitor is
needed to couple in low frequencies without severe attenuation. But in many cases the speakers used in portable
systems, whether internal or external, have little ability to
reproduce signals below 100Hz to 150Hz. Thus, using a
large input capacitor may not increase actual system performance.
In addition to system cost and size, click and pop performance is effected by the size of the input coupling capacitor,
Ci. A larger input coupling capacitor requires more charge to
reach its quiescent DC voltage (nominally 1/2 VDD). This
charge comes from the output via the feedback and is apt to
11

create pops upon device enable. Thus, by minimizing the
capacitor size based on necessary low frequency response,
turn-on pops can be minimized.
Besides minimizing the input capacitor size, careful consideration should be paid to the bypass capacitor value. Bypass
capacitor, CB, is the most critical component to minimize
turn-on pops since it determines how fast the LM4892 turns
on. The slower the LM4892’s outputs ramp to their quiescent
DC voltage (nominally 1/2 VDD), the smaller the turn-on pop.
Choosing CB equal to 1.0µF along with a small value of Ci (in
the range of 0.1µF to 0.39µF), should produce a virtually
clickless and popless shutdown function. While the device
will function properly, (no oscillations or motorboating), with
CB equal to 0.1µF, the device will be much more susceptible
to turn-on clicks and pops. Thus, a value of CB equal to
1.0µF is recommended in all but the most cost sensitive
designs.
(2)
5V is a standard voltage in most applications, it is chosen for
the supply rail. Extra supply voltage creates headroom that
allows the LM4892 to reproduce peaks in excess of 1W
without producing audible distortion. At this time, the designer must make sure that the power supply choice along
with the output impedance does not violate the conditions
explained in the Power Dissipation section.
Once the power dissipation equations have been addressed,
the required differential gain can be determined from Equation 3.
(3)
Rf/Ri = AVD/2
From Equation 3, the minimum AVD is 2.83; use AVD = 3.
Since the desired input impedance was 20kΩ, and with a
AVD of 3, a ratio of 1.5:1 of Rf to Ri results in an allocation of
Ri = 20kΩ and Rf = 30kΩ. The final design step is to address
the bandwidth requirements which must be stated as a pair
of −3dB frequency points. Five times away from a −3dB point
is 0.17dB down from passband response which is better
than the required ± 0.25dB specified.
fL = 100Hz/5 = 20Hz
fH = 20kHz * 5 = 100kHz
As stated in the External Components section, Ri in conjunction with Ci create a highpass filter.
Ci ≥ 1/(2π*20 kΩ*20 Hz) = 0.397 µF; use 0.39 µF

A designer must first determine the minimum supply rail to
obtain the specified output power. By extrapolating from the
Output Power vs Supply Voltage graphs in the Typical Performance Characteristics section, the supply rail can be
easily found. A second way to determine the minimum supply rail is to calculate the required Vopeak using Equation 2
and add the output voltage. Using this method, the minimum
supply voltage would be (Vopeak + (VODTOP + VODBOT)), where
VODBOT and VODTOP are extrapolated from the Dropout Voltage vs Supply Voltage curve in the Typical Performance
Characteristics section.

The high frequency pole is determined by the product of the
desired frequency pole, fH, and the differential gain, AVD.
With a AVD = 3 and fH = 100kHz, the resulting GBWP =
150kHz which is much smaller than the LM4892 GBWP of
4 MHz. This figure displays that if a designer has a need to
design an amplifier with a higher differential gain, the
LM4892 can still be used without running into bandwidth
limitations.

nates possible high frequency oscillations. Care should be
taken when calculating the -3dB frequency in that an incorrect combination of Rf and Cf will cause rolloff before 20kHz.
A typical combination of feedback resistor and capacitor that
will not produce audio band high frequency rolloff is Rf =
20kΩ and Cf = 25pF. These components result in a -3dB
point of approximately 320 kHz.
The LM4892 is unity-gain stable and requires no external
components besides gain-setting resistors, an input coupling
capacitor, and proper supply bypassing in the typical application. However, if a closed-loop differential gain of greater
than 10 is required, a feedback capacitor (Cf) may be
needed as shown in Figure 3 to bandwidth limit the amplifier.
This feedback capacitor creates a low pass filter that elimi-

PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES
This section provides practical guidelines for mixed signal
PCB layout that involves various digital/analog power and
ground traces. Designers should note that these are only
’rule-of-thumb’ recommendations and the actual results will
depend heavily on the final layout.
Single-Point Power / Ground Connections
The analog power traces should be connected to the digital
traces through a single point (link). A ’Pi-filter’ can be helpful
in minimizing High Frequency noise coupling between the
analog and digital sections. It is further recommended to put
digital and analog power traces over the corresponding digital and analog ground traces to minimize noise coupling.
General Mixed Signal Layout Recommendation
Placement of Digital and Analog Components
All digital components and high-speed digital signal traces
should be located as far away as possible from analog
components and circuit traces.
Power and Ground Circuits
For 2 layer mixed signal design, it is important to isolate the
digital power and ground trace paths from the analog power
and ground trace paths. Star trace routing techniques (bringing individual traces back to a central point rather than daisy
chaining traces together in a serial manner) can have a
major impact on low level signal performance. Star trace
routing refers to using individual traces to feed power and
ground to each circuit or even device. This technique will
require a greater amount of design time but will not increase
the final price of the board. The only extra parts required will
be some jumpers.

Avoiding Typical Design / Layout Problems
Avoid ground loops or running digital and analog traces
parallel to each other (side-by-side) on the same PCB layer.
When traces must cross over each other do it at 90 degrees.
Running digital and analog traces at 90 degrees to each
other from the top to the bottom side as much as possible will
minimize capacitive noise coupling and cross talk.
