GENERAL AMPLIFIER FUNCTION The LM4674 stereo Class D audio power amplifier features a filterless modulation scheme that reduces external component count, conserving board space and reducing system cost. The outputs of the device transition from VDD to GND with a 300kHz switching frequency. With no signal applied, the outputs (OUT_A and OUT_B) switch with a 50% duty cycle, in phase, causing the two outputs to cancel. This cancellation results in no net voltage across the speaker, thus there is no current to the load in the idle state. SINGLE-ENDED AUDIO AMPLIFIER CONFIGURATION The LM4674 is compatible with single-ended sources. When configured for single-ended inputs, input capacitors must be used to block and DC component at the input of the device. Figure 3 shows the typical single-ended applications circuit. With the input signal applied, the duty cycle (pulse width) of the LM4674 outputs changes. For increasing output voltage, the duty cycle of OUT_A increases, while the duty cycle of OUT_B decreases. For decreasing output voltages, the converse occurs. The difference between the two pulse widths yields the differential output voltage. AUDIO AMPLIFIER POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING/FILTERING Proper power supply bypassing is critical for low noise performance and high PSRR. Place the supply bypass capacitor as close to the device as possible. Typical applications employ a voltage regulator with 10µF and 0.1µF bypass capacitors that increase supply stability. These capacitors do not eliminate the need for bypassing of the LM4674 supply pins. A 1µF capacitor is recommended. DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER EXPLANATION As logic supplies continue to shrink, system designers are increasingly turning to differential analog signal handling to preserve signal to noise ratios with restricted voltage signs. The LM4674 features two fully differential amplifiers. A differential amplifier amplifies the difference between the two input signals. Traditional audio power amplifiers have typically offered only single-ended inputs resulting in a 6dB reduction of SNR relative to differential inputs. The LM4674 also offers the possibility of DC input coupling which eliminates the input coupling capacitors. A major benefit of the fully differential amplifier is the improved common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) over single ended input amplifiers. The increased CMRR of the differential amplifier reduces sensitivity to ground offset related noise injection, especially important in noisy systems. AUDIO AMPLIFIER INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION Input capacitors may be required for some applications, or when the audio source is single-ended. Input capacitors block the DC component of the audio signal, eliminating any conflict between the DC component of the audio source and the bias voltage of the LM4674. The input capacitors create a high-pass filter with the input resistors RI. The -3dB point of the high pass filter is found using Equation 1 below. (1) f = 1 / 2πRINCIN The values for RI can be found in the EC table for each gain setting. The input capacitors can also be used to remove low frequency content from the audio signal. Small speakers cannot reproduce, and may even be damaged by low frequencies. High pass filtering the audio signal helps protect the speakers. When the LM4674 is using a single-ended source, power supply noise on the ground is seen as an input signal. Setting the high-pass filter point above the power supply noise frequencies, 217Hz in a GSM phone, for example, filters out the noise such that it is not amplified and heard on the output. Capacitors with a tolerance of 10% or better are recommended for impedance matching and improved CMRR and PSRR. POWER DISSIPATION AND EFFICIENCY The major benefit of a Class D amplifier is increased efficiency versus a Class AB. The efficiency of the LM4674 is attributed to the region of operation of the transistors in the output stage. The Class D output stage acts as current steering switches, consuming negligible amounts of power compared to their Class AB counterparts. Most of the power loss associated with the output stage is due to the IR loss of the MOSFET on-resistance, along with switching losses due to gate charge. SHUTDOWN FUNCTION The LM4674 features independent left and right channel shutdown controls, allowing each channel to be disabled independently. /SDR controls the right channel, while /SDL controls the left channel. Driving either low disables the corresponding channel, reducing supply current to 0.03µA. It is best to switch between ground and VDD for minimum current consumption while in shutdown. The LM4674 may be disabled with shutdown voltages in between GND and VDD, the idle current will be greater than the typical 0.03µA value. Increased THD+N may also be observed when a voltage of less than VDD is applied to /SD_ for logic levels between GND and VDD Bypass /SD_ with a 0.1µF capacitor. The LM4674 shutdown inputs have internal pulldown resistors. The purpose of these resistors is to eliminate any AUDIO AMPLIFIER GAIN SETTING The LM4674 features four internally configured gain settings. The device gain is selected through the two logic inputs, G0 and G1. The gain settings are as shown in the following table. G1 13 G0 GAIN V/V dB 0 0 2 6 0 1 4 12 1 0 8 18 1 1 16 24 www.national.com LM4674 Application Information LM4674 Application Information The inductive nature of the transducer load can also result in overshoot on one of both edges, clamped by the parasitic diodes to GND and VDD in each case. From an EMI standpoint, this is an aggressive waveform that can radiate or conduct to other components in the system and cause interference. In is essential to keep the power and output traces short and well shielded if possible. Use of ground planes beads and micros-strip layout techniques are all useful in preventing unwanted interference. (Continued) PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES As output power increases, interconnect resistance (PCB traces and wires) between the amplifier, load and power supply create a voltage drop. The voltage loss due to the traces between the LM4674 and the load results in lower output power and decreased efficiency. Higher trace resistance between the supply and the LM4674 has the same effect as a poorly regulated supply, increasing ripple on the supply line, and reducing peak output power. The effects of residual trace resistance increases as output current increases due to higher output power, decreased load impedance or both. To maintain the highest output voltage swing and corresponding peak output power, the PCB traces that connect the output pins to the load and the supply pins to the power supply should be as wide as possible to minimize trace resistance. As the distance from the LM4674 and the speaker increases, the amount of EMI radiation increases due to the output wires or traces acting as antennas become more efficient with length. Ferrite chip inductors places close to the LM4674 outputs may be needed to reduce EMI radiation. The use of power and ground planes will give the best THD+N performance. In addition to reducing trace resistance, the use of power planes creates parasitic capacitors that help to filter the power supply line. www.national.com 14 LM4674 Application Information (Continued) 20167426 Differential Input Configuration FIGURE 2. 15 www.national.com LM4674 Application Information (Continued) 20167438 Single-Ended Input Configuration FIGURE 3. www.national.com 16 LM4674 Revision Table Rev Date Description 1.0 10/4/05 1st PDF edited after copied LM4671. 1.1 12/15/05 Added graphics 22, 23, and 24.
