• Wide operating supply voltage range (VCCop): 5.5 to
22 V (Certain conditions may apply.)
• High ripple rejection ratio: 60 dB (typical)
• Power: 16 W × 2 (VCC = 15 V/6Ω),
13 W × 2 (VCC = 12 V/4Ω), 6.5 W × 2 (VCC = 9 V/4Ω)
• Built-in signal muting circuit (AC muting) reduces the
number of external components and provides muting
with minimal switching noise.
• Startup circuit with a start time of 0.6 to 0.7 seconds.
The LA4663 provides distortion-free startup, since
output is only generated after the supply voltage reaches
the midpoint at power on.

Usage Notes
1. Maximum ratings
If the device is operated in the vicinity of the maximum ratings, it is possible for small changes in the operating
conditions to result in the maximum ratings being exceeded. Since this can result in destruction of the device,
applications should be designed with adequate margins in the supply voltage and other parameters so that the maximum
ratings are never exceeded during device operation.
2. Protection circuits
While the LA4663 includes a full complement of built-in protection circuits, care is required in the usage. In particular,
be careful not to short any pairs of device pins together.
[Notes on the shorting (power, ground, and load shorting) protection circuit]
• This protection circuit operates whenever a power short (a short between the output and VCC), a ground short (a short
between the output and ground), or a load short (shorting between the + and – outputs) is detected. Although there are
cases where the protection circuit may not operate if the supply voltage is under 9 V, the thermal protection circuit will
protect the device in this range.
• The protection circuit continues to operate during the interval that the abnormal short continues, and automatically
recovers when the error state is resolved. However, under certain usage conditions, there are situations where the
protection circuit may lock and remain locked even after the problem has been resolved. In these cases, the circuit can
be reset by switching to standby mode or turning off the power temporarily.
• If the output is shorted to VCC with the IC in the standby state and furthermore, a VCC of 20 V or higher applied, an
offset will be created between the + and – outputs. If a load is connected in this state, a current will flow in that load,
and the IC may be destroyed. Applications should assure that this does not occur.
• In the following situations, the operation of the protection circuit may result in a sound switching phenomenon at high
output levels. This may be a problem, depending on the details of the end product circuit itself, and must be verified in
an actual system.
• At low load resistances RL (high loads) and at high VCC voltages, and with both channels operating at IO peak levels of
over 2 A per channel. (This phenomenon is more likely to occur the higher the chip temperature.)
For systems operating under the most sever conditions (high temperatures and high outputs), specific operating
conditions such that the above phenomenon does no occur are listed in the “Allowable operating supply voltage range
(VCC op)” item in the Operating Conditions section of the specifications. (Refer to the VCC op ranges for different RL
values.)
[Thermal protection circuit]
• A thermal protection circuit is provided to prevent damage to or destruction of the IC itself when the IC generates
abnormally high temperatures. This means that gradual attenuation is applied to the output signals by the thermal
protection circuit if the IC junction temperature (Tj) rises above about 160°C due to insufficient heat sinking or other
problems.
3. Notes on printed circuit boards
• When designing the printed circuit board pattern, keep the input lines separated from both the VCC lines and the
output lines. This is to prevent increased distortion and oscillation.
• When high output levels are used, make power-ground lines as wide as possible and as short as possible to prevent the
PWR GND pins potential from increasing with respect to pre-ground. (From the standpoint of IC stability, ideally, the
ground pin potential should be the lowest potential in the system. This is to prevent trouble caused by several types of
induced parasitic devices due to increases in the GND pin potential due to the structure of the IC.)

4. Notes on heat sink mounting
• Use a tightening torque of between 39 and 59 N·cm.
• Make the spacing of the heat sink mounting screw holes the same as the spacing of the IC mounting screw holes. Also,
make the mounting screw hole spacing as short as possible within the range that still allows mounting, referring to the
external dimensions L and R.
L
R
+
+
A10629
• For mounting screws, use screws that correspond to either the truss screws or binding screws stipulated by the JIS
(Japan Industrial Standards). Use washers to protect the IC case.
• Do not allow any foreign matter, such as machining chips, to get between the IC (package internal) heat sink and the
external heat sink. Also, if grease is applied to the junction, apply the grease as evenly as possible.
5. Other notes
• The LA4663 is a BTL power amplifier IC. When connecting this IC to test equipment, do not allow the test equipment
grounds for the input and output systems to be shared grounds.

External Components
C1 and C2
• These are input coupling capacitors, and we recommend that values under 4.7 µF be used. The LA4663 uses a zero
bias type input circuit, and the input pin potential is about zero volts. Determine the polarity orientation of these
capacitors based on the DC current from the circuit connected to the LA4663 front end.
If the potential difference between across the + and – leads on the input capacitors is large, the charge time for the
input capacitors can be reduced by using as small a value as possible without causing degradation of the low band
frequency characteristics. This will shorten the time required to reach stable operation when power is first applied.
C3 *1
• This capacitor functions both as a ripple filter and as the amplifier starting time capacitor. We recommend a value of
47 µF. When the recommended value is used, the BTL SVRR between outputs will be about 63 dB, and that between
the outputs and ground will be about 47 dB. (These are values are for reference purposes.) Similarly, the starting time
(the time between the point power is first applied and the point an output is generated) will be around 0.6 to 0.7
seconds.
C4 and R1 *2
• These form an CR circuit used for muting function smoothing. C4 is required even if the muting function is not used.
C5
• Power supply capacitor
C6 to C9 and R2 to R5
• These components for oscillation prevention CR circuits. We recommend the use of polyester film capacitors (Mylar
capacitors) with excellent temperature characteristics for C6 through C9. (R2 to R5 should all be 2.2-Ω 1/4-W
resistors.)
Notes: 1. Starting time
• The LA4663 includes a built-in starting time circuit. The starting time can be varied somewhat by modifying
the value of the external capacitor connected to pin 1. With the recommended value of 47 µF, the starting time
will be between 0.6 and 0.7 second (although this will vary with the supply voltage, VCC) and this time can be
lengthened to about 0.9 second by inserting a 10 µF capacitor in parallel.
• We do not recommend using a value smaller than the recommended value for the pin 1 capacitor, since that
could result in reducing the SVRR with respect to ground.
2. Signal muting function
• When the recommended CR circuit (10 µF and 22 kΩ) is connected to pin 6, the signal muting function can be
turned on, and a muting function with minimal impulse noise applied by applying a voltage of 5V.
• The CR circuit determines the attack and recovery times for smoothing function. Note that this 10-µF capacitor
is required even when the signal muting function is not used, since it is also used for smoothing after the
starting time has elapsed.The influx current to pin 6 when this external resistor has a value of
22 kΩ will be about 170 µA when the applied voltage is +5
V. Although it is possible to modify the value of this resistor
if a different applied voltage or if the capacity of the
I
microcontroller required it, it is possible for the level of the
+5 V
22 kΩ
6 About 1.56 V
impulse noise associated with the muting function to increase
+
if the pin 6 influx current becomes excessive. Be sure to take
10 µF
–
this influx current into account if the value of this resistor is
modified.

• Standby function
VSTB
Pin 5 in this IC is the standby pin, and applying a voltage of 2.0 V or
higher will activate this function. The pin 5 influx current for an

formula such that the pin 5 influx current due to the applied VSTB is
under 500 µA.
