The low cutoff frequency is determined by the following formula. 1 fL : Low cutoff frequency fL= 2πC1Rf Rf : Feedback resistance Since this capacitor as well as decoupling capacitor affects the starting time, the capacitor value must be fixed with the necessary low frequency band fully considered. C3 (C4) : Bootstrap capacitor. The output at low frequencies depends on this capacitor. Decreasing the capacitor value lowers the output at low frequencies. A capacitor value of 47µF or more is required. C5 (C6) : Oscillation blocking capacitor. Use a polyester film capacitor that is good in high frequency response and temperature characteristic. The use of an electrolytic capacitor, ceramic capacitor may cause oscillation to occur at low temperatures. Continued on next page. No.1697–3/10 LA4555 Continued from preceding page. C7 (C8) : Output capacitor. The low cutoff frequency is determined by the following formula. 1 fL : Low cutoff frequency fL= 2πC7RL RL : Load resistance To make the low frequency response in the bridge amplifier mode identical with that in the stereo mode, the capacitor value must be doubled. C9 : Decoupling capacitor. Used for the ripple filter. Since the rejection effect is saturated at a certain capacitor value, it is meaningless to increase the capacitor value more than needed. This capacitor, being also used for the time constant of the muting circuit, affects the starting time. C10 : Power source capacitor. Application Circuits Voltage gain adjust · Stereo mode The voltage gain is determined by on-chip resistor R1 (R2) and external feedback resistor Rf as follows : VG=20 log R1 [dB] Rf1+R2 Any voltage gain can be obtained by external resistor Rf. · Bridge amplifier 1 mode Since point A is at the same potential as Vi and point B is a virtual GND point, Vo1≈ R1 Vi R2+R4+Rf1+Rf2 Vo2≈ –R3 R2+R4+Rf1+Rf2 Vi R1+R3 Vi R2+R4+Rf1+Rf2 Vo R1+R3 VG=20 log =20log [dB] Vi R2+R4+Rf1+Rf2 Vo = Vo1 – Vo2 = Assuming R2=R4=50Ω, R1=R3=20kΩ and Rf1=Rf2, the voltage gain is obtained by : VG=20 log R1 [dB] Rf1+R2 · Bridge amplifier 2 mode The CH1 is a noninverting amplifer and the CH2 is an inverting amplifier. The total voltage gain, being apparently higher than that of the CH1 by 6dB, is approximately calculated by the following formula. VG=20log R2/R1+6 (dB) To reduce the voltage gain, Rf is connected and the following formula is used. VG=20log R2/Rf+R1+6 (dB) No.1697–4/10 LA4555 Proper Cares in Using LA4555-Applied Set 1. If the transformer regulation is not as specified, the supply voltage drops momentarily when the motor is an ACpowered set is turned ON. In this case, hum noise may be generated. So, be careful of the transformer regulation. 2. DC muting To apply DC muting by controlling the NF pin, it is recommended to use the circuit configuration shown right. The potential at point A is set to 3.5 to 4V. 3. Pop noise If pop noise generated at the time of power ON/OFF disturbs you, connect a resistor of approximately 620Ω across the middle point and GND. 4. Slider contact noise of variable resistor Since the input circuit uses PNP transistors, no input coupling capacitor is required. However, if slider contact noise of the variable resistor presents any problem, connect a capacitor in series with input. Thermal Design Since the DIP-12F package is such that the Cu-foiled area of the printed circuit board is used to dissipate heat, make the Cu-foiled area in the vicinity of the heat sink of the IC as large as possible when designing the printed circuit board. The use of the Cu-foiled area indicated by shading in the above-mentioned sample printed circuit pattern makes it possible to dissipate more heat. Power dissipation Pd is increased depending on the supply voltage and load. So, it is recommended to use the printed circuit board together with the heat sink. The following is a formula to be used to calculate Pd (for stereo use). For AC power supply, however, it is recommended to actually measure Pd on the transformer of each set. For bridge amplifier use, Pd is calculated at 1/2 of the load. (1) DC power supply Pd max= VCC2 π2RL + Icco · VCC (For stereo use) ..... (1) (2) AC power supply VCC2 : Supply voltage at quiescent mode VCC (Pd) : Supply voltage at Pd max VCC1 : Supply voltage at maximum output r : Voltage regulation VCC2 – VCC1 VCC1 Icco : Quiescent current Pd max= VCC(Pd)2 + Icco · VCC (Pd) (For stereo use) .............. (2) π2RL where (1+r) VCC1 VCC (Pd)= 1+ r · VCC1 × √2 · π · RL √ PoRmax L Example of Heat Sink Mounting Method The heat sink must be of such a shape as to be able to dissipate heat from the IC plastic area and fin area and is soldered to the printed circuit board as shown below. For the size of the heat sink, refer to the Pd – Ta characteristic. The material of the heat sink is recommended to be copper or iron which is solderable. It is recommended to apply silicone grease to the IC plastic area to reduce thermal resistance between the heat sink and the IC plastic area. Example of Heat Sink Mounting No.1697–5/10 LA4555 No.1697–6/10 LA4555 No.1697–7/10 LA4555 No.1697–8/10 LA4555 Proper Cares in Using IC 1. If the IC is used in the vicinity of the maximum ratings, even a slight variation in conditions may cause the maximum ratings to be exceeded, thereby leading to breakdown. Allow an ample margin of variation for supply voltage, etc. and use the IC in the range where the maximum ratings are not exceeded. 2. Pin-to-pin short : If power is applied when the space between pins is shorted, breakdown or deterioration may occur. When mounting the IC on the board and applying power, make sure that the space between pins is not shorted with solder, etc. 3. Load short : If the IC is used with the load shorted for a long time, breakdown or deterioration may occur. Be sure not to short the load. 4. When the IC is used in radios or radio cassette tape recorders, keep a good distance between IC and bar antenna. 5. When making the board, refer to the sample printed circuit pattern. 6. It should be noted that some plug jacks to be used for connecting to the external speaker are such that both poles are shorted once when connecting.
