In all circumstances and conditions, the junction temperature must be held below 150˚C to prevent activating the LM4863’s thermal shutdown protection. The LM4863’s power de-rating curve in the Typical Performance Characteristics shows the maximum power dissipation versus temperature. Example PCB layouts for the exposed-DAP TSSOP and LLP packages are shown in the Demonstration Board Layout section. Further detailed and specific information concerning PCB layout, fabrication, and mounting an LLP package is available from National Semiconductor’s package Engineering Group. When contacting them, ask for "Preliminary Application Note for the Assembly of the LLP Package on a Printed Circuit Board, Revision A dated 7/14/00." Application Information EXPOSED-DAP PACKAGE PCB MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS The LM4863’s exposed-DAP (die attach paddle) packages (MTE and LQ) provide a low thermal resistance between the die and the PCB to which the part is mounted and soldered. This allows rapid heat transfer from the die to the surrounding PCB copper traces, ground plane and, finally, surrounding air. The result is a low voltage audio power amplifier that produces 2.2W at ≤ 1% THD with a 4Ω load. This high power is achieved through careful consideration of necessary thermal design. Failing to optimize thermal design may compromise the LM4863’s high power performance and activate unwanted, though necessary, thermal shutdown protection. The MTE and LQ packages must have their DAPs soldered to a copper pad on the PCB. The DAP’s PCB copper pad is connected to a large plane of continuous unbroken copper. This plane forms a thermal mass and heat sink and radiation area. Place the heat sink area on either outside plane in the case of a two-sided PCB, or on an inner layer of a board with more than two layers. Connect the DAP copper pad to the inner layer or backside copper heat sink area with 32(4x8) (MTE) or 6(3x2) (LQ) vias. The via diameter should be 0.012in - 0.013in with a 1.27mm pitch. Ensure efficient thermal conductivity by plating-through and solder-filling the vias. Best thermal performance is achieved with the largest practical copper heat sink area. If the heatsink and amplifier share the same PCB layer, a nominal 2.5in2 (min) area is necessary for 5V operation with a 4Ω load. Heatsink areas not placed on the same PCB layer as the LM4863 should be 5in2 (min) for the same supply voltage and load resistance. The last two area recommendations apply for 25˚c ambient temperature. Increase the area to compensate for ambient temperatures above 25˚c. In systems using cooling fans, the LM4863MTE can take advantage of forced air cooling. With an air flow rate of 450 linear-feet per minute and a 2.5in2 exposed copper or 5.0in2 inner layer copper plane heatsink, the LM4863MTE can continuously drive a 3Ω load to full power. The LM4863LQ achieves the same output power PCB LAYOUT AND SUPPLY REGULATION CONSIDERATIONS FOR DRIVING 3Ω AND 4Ω LOADS Power dissipated by a load is a function of the voltage swing across the load and the load’s impedance. As load impedance decreases, load dissipation becomes increasingly dependent on the interconnect (PCB trace and wire) resistance between the amplifier output pins and the load’s connections. Residual trace resistance causes a voltage drop, which results in power dissipated in the trace and not in the load as desired. For example, 0.1Ω trace resistance reduces the output power dissipated by a 4Ω load from 2.1W to 2.0W. This problem of decreased load dissipation is exacerbated as load impedance decreases. Therefore, to maintain the highest load dissipation and widest output voltage swing, PCB traces that connect the output pins to a load must be as wide as possible. Poor power supply regulation adversely affects maximum output power. A poorly regulated supply’s output voltage decreases with increasing load current. Reduced supply voltage causes decreased headroom, output signal clipping, and reduced output power. Even with tightly regulated supplies, trace resistance creates the same effects as poor supply regulation. Therefore, making the power supply traces as wide as possible helps maintain full output voltage swing. 11 www.national.com LM4863 Application Information (Continued) 01288101 * Refer to the section Proper Selection of External Components, for a detailed discussion of CB size. FIGURE 1. Typical Audio Amplifier Application Circuit Pin out shown for the SO package. Refer to the Connection Diagrams for the pinout of the TSSOP, Exposed-DAP TSSOP, and Exposed-DAP LLP packages. Another advantage of the differential bridge output is no net DC voltage across the load. This is accomplished by biasing channel A’s and channel B’s outputs at half-supply. This eliminates the coupling capacitor that single supply, singleended amplifiers require. Eliminating an output coupling capacitor in a single-ended configuration forces a single-supply amplifier’s half-supply bias voltage across the load. This increases internal IC power dissipation and may permanently damage loads such as speakers. BRIDGE CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION As shown in Figure 1, the LM4863 consists of two pairs of operational amplifiers, forming a two-channel (channel A and channel B) stereo amplifier. (Though the following discusses channel A, it applies equally to channel B.) External resistors Rf and Ri set the closed-loop gain of Amp1A, whereas two internal 20kΩ resistors set Amp2A’s gain at -1. The LM4863 drives a load, such as a speaker, connected between the two amplifier outputs, -OUTA and +OUTA. Figure 1 shows that Amp1A’s output serves as Amp2A’s input. This results in both amplifiers producing signals identical in magnitude, but 180˚ out of phase. Taking advantage of this phase difference, a load is placed between -OUTA and +OUTA and driven differentially (commonly referred to as "bridge mode"). This results in a differential gain of (1) AVD = 2 x (Rf / Ri) Bridge mode amplifiers are different from single-ended amplifiers that drive loads connected between a single amplifier’s output and ground. For a given supply voltage, bridge mode has a distinct advantage over the single-ended configuration: its differential output doubles the voltage swing across the load. This produces four times the output power when 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 that the output signal is not clipped. To ensure minimum output signal clipping when choosing an amplifier’s closed-loop gain, refer to the Audio Power Amplifier Design section. www.national.com POWER DISSIPATION Power dissipation is a major concern when designing a successful single-ended or bridged amplifier. Equation (2) states the maximum power dissipation point for a singleended amplifier operating at a given supply voltage and driving a specified output load (2) PDMAX = (VDD)2 / (2π2 RL) Single-Ended However, a direct consequence of the increased power delivered to the load by a bridge amplifier is higher internal power dissipation for the same conditions. The LM4863 has two operational amplifiers per channel. The maximum internal power dissipation per channel operating in the bridge mode is four times that of a single-ended amplifier. From Equation (3), assuming a 5V power supply and an 4Ω load, the maximum single channel power dissipation is 1.27W or 2.54W for stereo operation. (3) PDMAX = 4 x (VDD)2 / (2π2 RL) Bridge Mode The LM4973’s power dissipation is twice that given by Equation (2) or Equation (3) when operating in the single-ended 12 1µF capacitor, CB, between the BYPASS pin and ground improves the internal bias voltage’s stability and improves the amplifier’s PSRR. The PSRR improvements increase as the bypass pin capacitor value increases. Too large, however, increases turn-on time and can compromise amplifier’s click and pop performance. The selection of bypass capacitor values, especially CB, depends on desired PSRR requirements, click and pop performance (as explained in the section, Proper Selection of External Components), system cost, and size constraints. (Continued) mode or bridge mode, respectively. Twice the maximum power dissipation point given by Equation (3) must not exceed the power dissipation given by Equation (4): (4) PDMAX’ = (TJMAX − TA) / θJA The LM4863’s TJMAX = 150˚C. In the LQ (LLP) package soldered to a DAP pad that expands to a copper area of 5in2 on a PCB, the LM4863’s θJA is 20˚C/W. In the MTE package soldered to a DAP pad that expands to a copper area of 2in2 on a PCB , the LM4863’s θJA is 41˚C/W. At any given ambient temperature TJ\A, use Equation (4) to find the maximum internal power dissipation supported by the IC packaging. Rearranging Equation (4) and substituting PDMAX for PDMAX’ results in Equation (5). This equation gives the maximum ambient temperature that still allows maximum stereo power dissipation without violating the LM4863’s maximum junction temperature. (5) TA = TJMAX − 2 x PDMAX θJA MICRO-POWER SHUTDOWN The voltage applied to the SHUTDOWN pin controls the LM4863’s shutdown function. Activate micro-power shutdown by applying VDD to the SHUTDOWN pin. When active, the LM4863’s micro-power shutdown feature turns off the amplifier’s bias circuitry, reducing the supply current. The logic threshold is typically VDD/2. The low 0.7µA typical shutdown current is achieved by applying a voltage that is as near as VDD as possible to the SHUTDOWN pin. A voltage thrat is less than VDD may increase the shutdown current. For a typical application with a 5V power supply and an 4Ω load, the maximum ambient temperature that allows maximum stereo power dissipation without exceeding the maximum junction temperature is approximately 99˚C for the LLP package and 45˚C for the MTE package. (6) TJMAX = PDMAX θJA + TA Equation (6) gives the maximum junction temperature TJMAX. If the result violates the LM4863’s 150˚C, reduce the maximum junction temperature by reducing the power supply voltage or increasing the load resistance. Further allowance should be made for increased ambient temperatures. There are a few ways to control the micro-power shutdown. These include using a single-pole, single-throw switch, a microprocessor, or a microcontroller. When using a switch, connect an external 10kΩ pull-up resistor between the SHUTDOWN pin and VDD. Connect the switch between the SHUTDOWN pin and ground. Select normal amplifier operation by closing the switch. Opening the switch connects the SHUTDOWN pin to VDD through the pull-up resistor, activating micro-power shutdown. The switch and resistor guarantee that the SHUTDOWN pin will not float. This prevents unwanted state changes. In a system with a microprocessor or a microcontroller, use a digital output to apply the control voltage to the SHUTDOWN pin. Driving the SHUTDOWN pin with active circuitry eliminates the pull up resistor. The above examples assume that a device is a surface mount part operating around the maximum power dissipation point. Since internal power dissipation is a function of output power, higher ambient temperatures are allowed as output power or duty cycle decreases. If the result of Equation (2) is greater than that of Equation (3), then decrease the supply voltage, increase the load impedance, or reduce the ambient temperature. If these measures are insufficient, a heat sink can be added to reduce θJA. The heat sink can be created using additional copper area around the package, with connections to the ground pin(s), supply pin and amplifier output pins. External, solder attached SMT heatsinks such as the Thermalloy 7106D can also improve power dissipation. When adding a heat sink, the θJA is the sum of θJC, θCS, and θSA. (θJC is the junction−to−case thermal impedance, CS is the case−to−sink thermal impedance, and θSAis the sink−to−ambient thermal impedance.) Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics curves for power dissipation information at lower output power levels. TABLE 1. Logic level truth table for SHUTDOWN and HP-IN Operation SHUTDOWN HP-IN PIN Low logic Low OPERATIONAL MODE Bridged amplifiers Low logic High Single-Ended amplifiers High logic Low Micro-power Shutdown High logic High Micro-power Shutdown HP-IN FUNCTION Applying a voltage between 4V and VDD to the LM4863’s HP-IN headphone control pin turns off Amp2A and Amp2B, muting a bridged-connected load. Quiescent current consumption is reduced when the IC is in this single-ended mode. Figure 2 shows the implementation of the LM4863’s headphone control function. With no headphones connected to the headphone jack, the R1-R2 voltage divider sets the voltage applied to the HP-IN pin (pin 16) at approximately 50mV. This 50mV enables Amp1B and Amp2B, placing the LM4863’s in bridged mode operation. The output coupling capacitor blocks the amplifier’s half-supply DC voltage, protecting the headphones. While the LM4863 operates in bridged mode, the DC potential across the load is essentially 0V. The HP-IN threshold is set at 4V. Therefore, even in an ideal situation, the output swing cannot cause a false single-ended trigger. Connecting headphones to the headphone jack disconnects the head- POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING As with any power amplifier, proper supply bypassing is critical for low noise performance and high power supply rejection. Applications that employ a 5V regulator typically use a 10µF in parallel with a 0.1µF filter capacitors to stabilize the regulator’s output, reduce noise on the supply line, and improve the supply’s transient response. However, their presence does not eliminate the need for a local 1.0µF tantalum bypass capacitance connected between the LM4863’s supply pins and ground. Do not substitute a ceramic capacitor for the tantalum. Doing so may cause oscillation in the output signal. Keep the length of leads and traces that connect capacitors between the LM4863’s power supply pin and ground as short as possible. Connecting a 13 www.national.com LM4863 Application Information LM4863 Application Information Input Capacitor Value Selection Amplifying the lowest audio frequencies requires high value input coupling capacitor (Ci in Figure 1). A high value capacitor can be expensive and may compromise space efficiency in portable designs. In many cases, however, the speakers used in portable systems, whether internal or external, have little ability to reproduce signals below 150Hz. Applications using speakers with this limited frequency response reap little improvement by using large input capacitor. Besides effecting system cost and size, Ci has an affect on the LM4863’s click and pop performance. When the supply voltage is first applied, a transient (pop) is created as the charge on the input capacitor changes from zero to a quiescent state. The magnitude of the pop is directly proportional to the input capacitor’s size. Higher value capacitors need more time to reach a quiescent DC voltage (usually VDD/2) when charged with a fixed current. The amplifier’s output charges the input capacitor through the feedback resistor, Rf. Thus, pops can be minimized by selecting an input capacitor value that is no higher than necessary to meet the desired -3dB frequency. A shown in Figure 1, the input resistor (RI) and the input capacitor, CI produce a −3dB high pass filter cutoff frequency that is found using Equation (7). (Continued) phone jack contact pin from -OUTA and allows R1 to pull the HP Sense pin up to VDD. This enables the headphone function, turns off Amp2A and Amp2B, and mutes the bridged speaker. The amplifier then drives the headphones, whose impedance is in parallel with resistor R2 and R3. These resistors have negligible effect on the LM4863’s output drive capability since the typical impedance of headphones is 32Ω. (7) As an example when using a speaker with a low frequency limit of 150Hz, CI, using Equation (4), is 0.063µF. The 1.0µF CI shown in Figure 1 allows the LM4863 to drive high efficiency, full range speaker whose response extends below 30Hz. 01288124 FIGURE 2. Headphone Circuit Figure 2 also shows the suggested headphone jack electrical connections. The jack is designed to mate with a threewire plug. The plug’s tip and ring should each carry one of the two stereo output signals, whereas the sleeve should carry the ground return. A headphone jack with one control pin contact is sufficient to drive the HP-IN pin when connecting headphones. A microprocessor or a switch can replace the headphone jack contact pin. When a microprocessor or switch applies a voltage greater than 4V to the HP-IN pin, a bridge-connected speaker is muted and Amp1A and Amp2A drive a pair of headphones. Bypass Capacitor Value Selection Besides minimizing the input capacitor size, careful consideration should be paid to value of CB, the capacitor connected to the BYPASS pin. Since CB determines how fast the LM4863 settles to quiescent operation, its value is critical when minimizing turn−on pops. The slower the LM4863’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), produces a click-less and pop-less shutdown function. As discussed above, choosing Ci no larger than necessary for the desired bandwidth helps minimize clicks and pops. SELECTING PROPER EXTERNAL COMPONENTS Optimizing the LM4863’s performance requires properly selecting external components. Though the LM4863 operates well when using external components with wide tolerances, best performance is achieved by optimizing component values. The LM4863 is unity-gain stable, giving a designer maximum design flexibility. The gain should be set to no more than a given application requires. This allows the amplifier to achieve minimum THD+N and maximum signal-to-noise ratio. These parameters are compromised as the closed-loop gain increases. However, low gain demands input signals with greater voltage swings to achieve maximum output power. Fortunately, many signal sources such as audio CODECs have outputs of 1VRMS (2.83VP-P). Please refer to the Audio Power Amplifier Design section for more information on selecting the proper gain. www.national.com OPTIMIZING CLICK AND POP REDUCTION PERFORMANCE The LM4863 contains circuitry to minimize turn-on and shutdown transients or "clicks and pop". For this discussion, turn-on refers to either applying the power supply voltage or when the shutdown mode is deactivated. While the power supply is ramping to its final value, the LM4863’s internal amplifiers are configured as unity gain buffers. An internal current source changes the voltage of the BYPASS pin in a controlled, linear manner. Ideally, the input and outputs track the voltage applied to the BYPASS pin. The gain of the internal amplifiers remains unity until the voltage on the bypass pin reaches 1/2 VDD. As soon as the voltage on the BYPASS pin is stable, the device becomes fully operational. Although the bypass pin current cannot be modified, changing the size of CB alters the device’s turn-on time and the magnitude of "clicks and pops". Increasing the value of CB reduces the magnitude of turn-on pops. However, this pre14 LM4863 to produce peak output power in excess of 1W without clipping or other audible distortion. The choice of supply voltage must also not create a situation that violates maximum power dissipation as explained above in the Power Dissipation section. After satisfying the LM4863’s power dissipation requirements, the minimum differential gain is found using Equation (10). (Continued) sents a tradeoff: as the size of CB increases, the turn-on time increases. There is a linear relationship between the size of CB and the turn-on time. Here are some typical turn-on times for various values of CB: CB TON 0.01µF 20 ms 0.1µF 200 ms 0.22µF 440 ms (10) 0.47µF 940 ms 1.0µF 2 Sec Thus, a minimum gain of 2.83 allows the LM4863’s to reach full output swing and maintain low noise and THD+N performance. For this example, let AVD = 3. In order eliminate "clicks and pops", all capacitors must be discharged before turn-on. Rapidly switching VDD may not allow the capacitors to fully discharge, which may cause "clicks and pops". In a single-ended configuration, the output is coupled to the load by COUT. This capacitor usually has a high value. COUT discharges through internal 20kΩ resistors. Depending on the size of COUT, the discharge time constant can be relatively large. To reduce transients in single-ended mode, an external 1kΩ - 5kΩ resistor can be placed in parallel with the internal 20kΩ resistor. The tradeoff for using this resistor is increased quiescent current. The amplifier’s overall gain is set using the input (Ri) and feedback (Rf) resistors. With the desired input impedance set at 20kΩ, the feedback resistor is found using Equation (11). (11) Rf/Ri = AVD/2 The value of Rf is 30kΩ. The last step in this design example is setting the amplifier’s −3dB frequency bandwidth. To achieve the desired ± 0.25dB pass band magnitude variation limit, the low frequency response must extend to at least one−fifth the lower bandwidth limit and the high frequency response must extend to at least five times the upper bandwidth limit. The gain variation for both response limits is 0.17dB, well within the ± 0.25dB desired limit. The results are an (12) fL = 100Hz/5 = 20Hz and an FH = 20kHzx5 = 100kHz (13) NO LOAD STABILITY The LM4863 may exhibit low level oscillation when the load resistance is greater than 10kΩ. This oscillation only occurs as the output signal swings near the supply voltages. Prevent this oscillation by connecting a 5kΩ between the output pins and ground. As mentioned in the External Components section, Ri and Ci create a highpass filter that sets the amplifier’s lower bandpass frequency limit. Find the coupling capacitor’s value using Equation (12). AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER DESIGN Audio Amplifier Design: Driving 1W into an 8Ω Load The following are the desired operational parameters: Power Output: Load Impedance: Input Level: Input Impedance: Bandwidth: 1Wrms 8Ω 1Vrms the result is 20kΩ 1/(2π*20kΩ*20Hz) = 0.398µF (14) Use a 0.39µF capacitor, the closest standard value. The product of the desired high frequency cutoff (100kHz in this example) and the differential gain, AVD, determines the upper passband response limit. With AVD = 3 and fH = 100kHz, the closed-loop gain bandwidth product (GBWP) is 300kHz. This is less than the LM4863’s 3.5MHz GBWP. With this margin, the amplifier can be used in designs that require more differential gain while avoiding performance-lrestricting bandwidth limitations. 100Hz−20 kHz ± 0.25 dB The design begins by specifying the minimum supply voltage necessary to obtain the specified output power. One way to find the minimum supply voltage is to use the Output Power vs Supply Voltage curve in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. Another way, using Equation (4), is to calculate the peak output voltage necessary to achieve the desired output power for a given load impedance. To account for the amplifier’s dropout voltage, two additional voltages, based on the Dropout Voltage vs Supply Voltage in the Typical Performance Characteristics curves, must be added to the result obtained by Equation (8). The result in Equation (9).
