LM4808
Dual 105 mW Headphone Amplifier
General Description
Key Specifications
The LM4808 is a dual audio power amplifier capable of delivering 105 mW per channel of continuous average power into
a 16Ω load with 0.1% (THD+N) from a 5V power supply.
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to
provide high quality output power with a minimal amount of
external components using surface mount packaging. Since
the LM4808 does not require bootstrap capacitors or snubber networks, it is optimally suited for low-power portable
systems.
The unity-gain stable LM4808 can be configured by external
gain-setting resistors.

Note 2: All voltages are measured with respect to the ground pin, unless otherwise specified.
Note 3: 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 4: 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 P DMAX = (TJMAX − TA) / θJA. For the LM4808, TJMAX = 150˚C, and the typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, when board
mounted, is 210˚C/W for the MSOP Package and 107˚C/W for package N08E.

POWER DISSIPATION
Power dissipation is a major concern when using any power
amplifier and must be thoroughly understood to ensure a
successful design. Equation 1 states the maximum power
dissipation point for a single-ended amplifier operating at a
given supply voltage and driving a specified output load.
PDMAX = (VDD) 2 / (2π2RL)
(1)
Besides gain, one of the major considerations is the closed
loop bandwidth of the amplifier. To a large extent, the bandwidth is dicated by the choice of external components shown
in Figure 1. Both the input coupling capacitor, Ci, and the output coupling capacitor, Co, form first order high pass filters
which limit low frequency response. These values should be
chosen based on needed frequency response for a few distinct reasons.
Since the LM4808 has two operational amplifiers in one
package, the maximum internal power dissipation point is
twice that of the number which results from Equation 1. Even
with the large internal power dissipation, the LM4808 does
not require heat sinking over a large range of ambient temperature. From Equation 1, assuming a 5V power supply and
a 32Ω load, the maximum power dissipation point is 40 mW
per amplifier. Thus the maximum package dissipation point
is 80 mW. The maximum power dissipation point obtained
must not be greater than the power dissipation that results
from Equation 2:
PDMAX = (TJMAX − TA) / θJA
(2)
Selection of Input and Output Capacitor Size
Large value input and output capacitors are both expensive
and space consuming 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 150 Hz. Thus using
large input and output capacitors may not increase system
performance.
In addition to system cost and size, click and pop performance is affected 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
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 and output capacitor sizes,
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
LM4808 turns on. The slower the LM4808’s outputs ramp to
their quiescent DC voltage (nominally 1/2 VDD), the smaller
the turn on pop. While the device will function properly, (no
oscillations or motorboating), with CB equal to 1 µF, the device will be much more susceptible to turn on clicks and
pops. Thus, a value of CB equal to 1 µF or larger is recommended in all but the most cost sensitive designs.
For package MUA08A, θJA = 210˚C/W, and for package
M08A, θJA = 170˚C/W. TJMAX = 150˚C for the LM4808. Depending on the ambient temperature, TA, of the system surroundings, Equation 2 can be used to find the maximum internal power dissipation supported by the IC packaging. If
the result of Equation 1 is greater than that of Equation 2,
then either the supply voltage must be decreased, the load
impedance increased or TA reduced. For the typical application of a 5V power supply, with a 32Ω load, the maximum
ambient temperature possible without violating the maximum
junction temperature is approximately 131.6˚C provided that
device operation is around the maximum power dissipation
point. Power dissipation is a function of output power and
thus, if typical operation is not around the maximum power
dissipation point, the ambient temperature may be increased
accordingly. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics curves for power dissipation information for lower output powers.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
As with any power amplifer, 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. As
displayed in the Typical Performance Characteristics section, the effect of a larger half supply bypass capacitor is improved low frequency PSRR due to increased half-supply
stability. Typical applications employ a 5V regulator with
10 µF and a 0.1 µF bypass capacitors which aid in supply
stability, but do not eliminate the need for bypassing the supply nodes of the LM4808. The selection of bypass capacitors, especially CB, is thus dependent upon desired low frequency PSRR, click and pop performance as explained in
the section, Proper Selection of External Components
section, system cost, and size constraints.

A designer must first determine the needed supply rail to obtain the specified output power. Calculating the required supply rail involves knowing two parameters, VOPEAK and also
the dropout voltage. The latter is typically 300mV and can be
found from the graphs in the Typical Performance Characteristics. VOPEAK can be determined from Equation 3.
PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Selection of external components when using integrated
power amplifiers is critical to optimize device and system
performance. While the LM4808 is tolerant of external component combinations, consideration to component values
must be used to maximize overall system quality.
The LM4808 is unity gain stable and this gives a designer
maximum system flexibility. The LM4808 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.
Application Information
LM4808
Application Information
(Continued)
For 70 mW of output power into a 32Ω load, the required VOPEAK is 2.12 volts. A minimum supply rail of 2.42V results
from adding VOPEAK and VOD. Since 5V is a standard supply
voltage in most applications, it is chosen for the supply rail.
Extra supply voltage creates headroom that allows the
LM4808 to reproduce peaks in excess of 70 mW without clipping the signal. 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. Remember that the maximum power
dissipation point from Equation 1 must be multiplied by two
since there are two independent amplifiers inside the package.
Once the power dissipation equations have been addressed,
the required gain can be determined from Equation 4.
(4)
AV = Rf/Ri
(5)
From Equation 4, the minimum gain is: AV = 1.26
Since the desired input impedance was 20kΩ, and with a
gain of 1.26, a value of 27kΩ is designated for Rf, assuming
5% tolerance resistors. This combination results in a nominal
gain of 1.35. The final design step is to address the bandwidth requirements which must be stated as a pair of −3 dB
frequency points. Five times away from a −3dB point is
0.17dB down from passband response assuming a single
pole roll-off. As stated in the External Components section,
both Ri in conjunction with C i, and Co with RL, create first order highpass filters. Thus to obtain the desired frequency low
response of 100Hz within ± 0.5dB, both poles must be taken
into consideration. The combination of two single order filters
at the same frequency forms a second order response. This
results in a signal which is down 0.34dB at five times away
from the single order filter −3dB point. Thus, a frequency of
20Hz is used in the following equations to ensure that the response is better than 0.5dB down at 100Hz.
Ci ≥ 1 / (2π * 20 kΩ * 20 Hz) = 0.397µF; use 0.39µF.
Co ≥ 1 / (2π * 32Ω * 20 Hz) = 249µF; use 330µF.
The high frequency pole is determined by the product of the
desired high frequency pole, fH, and the closed-loop gain, A
V. With a closed-loop gain of 1.35 and fH = 100kHz, the resulting GBWP = 135kHz which is much smaller than the
LM4808 GBWP of 900kHz. This figure displays that if a designer has a need to design an amplifier with a higher gain,
the LM4808 can still be used without running into bandwidth
limitations.
