LM4673 Filterless, 2.65W, Mono, Class D Audio Power Amplifier General Description Key Specifications The LM4673 is a single supply, high efficiency, 2.65W, mono, Class D audio amplifier. A low noise, filterless PWM architecture eliminates the output filter, reducing external component count, board area consumption, system cost, and simplifying design. The LM4673 is designed to meet the demands of mobile phones and other portable communication devices. Operating on a single 5V supply, it is capable of driving a 4Ω speaker load at a continuous average output of 2.1W with less than 1% THD+N. Its flexible power supply requirements allow operation from 2.4V to 5.5V. The LM4673 has high efficiency with speaker loads compared to a typical Class AB amplifier. With a 3.6V supply driving an 8Ω speaker, the IC's efficiency for a 100mW power level is 80%, reaching 88% at 400mW output power. The LM4673 features a low-power consumption shutdown mode. Shutdown may be enabled by driving the Shutdown pin to a logic low (GND). The gain of the LM4673 is externally configurable which allows independent gain control from multiple sources by summing the signals. Output short circuit and thermal overload protection prevent the device from damage during fault conditions. ■ Efficiency at 3.6V, 400mW into 8Ω speaker 88% (typ) ■ Efficiency at 3.6V, 100mW into 8Ω speaker 80% (typ) ■ Efficiency at 5V, 1W into 8Ω speaker 86% (typ) ■ Quiescent current, 3.6V supply 2.1mA (typ) ■ 0.01µA (typ) Total shutdown power supply current ■ Single supply range ■ PSRR, f = 217Hz 2.4V to 5.5V 78dB Features ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Mono Class D Operation No output filter required for inductive loads Externally configurable gain Very fast turn on time: 17μs (typ) Minimum external components "Click and pop" suppression circuitry Micro-power shutdown mode Available in space-saving 0.4mm pitch micro SMD and LLPTm packages Applications ■ Mobile phones ■ PDAs ■ Portable electronic devices Boomer® is a registered trademark of National Semiconductor Corporation. © 2007 National Semiconductor Corporation 201522 www.national.com LM4673 Filterless, 2.65W, Mono, Class D Audio Power Amplifier November 1, 2007 LM4673 Typical Application 201522j3 FIGURE 1.

The voltage loss on the traces between the LM4673 and the load results is lower output power and decreased efficiency. Higher trace resistance between the supply and the LM4673 has the same effect as a poorly regulated supply, increased ripple on the supply line also reducing the 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. The use of power and ground planes will give the best THD +N performance. While reducing trace resistance, the use of power planes also creates parasite capacitors that help to filter the power supply line. The inductive nature of the transducer load can also result in overshoot on one or 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. It is essential to keep the power and output traces short and well shielded if possible. Use of ground planes, beads, and micro-strip layout techniques are all useful in preventing unwanted interference. As the distance from the LM4673 and the speaker increase, the amount of EMI radiation will increase since the output wires or traces acting as antenna become more efficient with length. What is acceptable EMI is highly application specific. Ferrite chip inductors placed close to the LM4673 may be needed to reduce EMI radiation. The value of the ferrite chip is very application specific. GENERAL AMPLIFIER FUNCTION The LM4673 features a filterless modulation scheme. The differential outputs of the device switch at 300kHz from VDD to GND. When there is no input signal applied, the two outputs (VO1 and VO2) switch with a 50% duty cycle, with both outputs in phase. Because the outputs of the LM4673 are differential, the two signals cancel each other. This results in no net voltage across the speaker, thus there is no load current during an idle state, conserving power. With an input signal applied, the duty cycle (pulse width) of the LM4673 outputs changes. For increasing output voltages, the duty cycle of VO1 increases, while the duty cycle of VO2 decreases. For decreasing output voltages, the converse occurs, the duty cycle of VO2 increases while the duty cycle of VO1 decreases. The difference between the two pulse widths yields the differential output voltage. POWER DISSIPATION AND EFFICIENCY In general terms, efficiency is considered to be the ratio of useful work output divided by the total energy required to produce it with the difference being the power dissipated, typically, in the IC. The key here is “useful” work. For audio systems, the energy delivered in the audible bands is considered useful including the distortion products of the input signal. Sub-sonic (DC) and super-sonic components (>22kHz) are not useful. The difference between the power flowing from the power supply and the audio band power being transduced is dissipated in the LM4673 and in the transducer load. The amount of power dissipation in the LM4673 is very low. This is because the ON resistance of the switches used to form the output waveforms is typically less than 0.25Ω. This leaves only the transducer load as a potential "sink" for the small excess of input power over audio band output power. The LM4673 dissipates only a fraction of the excess power requiring no additional PCB area or copper plane to act as a heat sink. POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING As with any power amplifier, proper supply bypassing is critical for low noise performance and high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR). The capacitor (CS) location should be as close as possible to the LM4673. Typical applications employ a voltage regulator with a 10µF and a 0.1µF bypass capacitors that increase supply stability. These capacitors do not eliminate the need for bypassing on the supply pin of the LM4673. A 4.7µF tantalum capacitor is recommended. DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER EXPLANATION As logic supply voltages continue to shrink, designers are increasingly turning to differential analog signal handling to preserve signal to noise ratios with restricted voltage swing. The LM4673 is a fully differential amplifier that features differential input and output stages. A differential amplifier amplifies the difference between the two input signals. Traditional audio power amplifiers have typically offered only singleended inputs resulting in a 6dB reduction in signal to noise ratio relative to differential inputs. The LM4673 also offers the possibility of DC input coupling which eliminates the two external AC coupling, DC blocking capacitors. The LM4673 can be used, however, as a single ended input amplifier while still retaining it's fully differential benefits. In fact, completely unrelated signals may be placed on the input pins. The LM4673 simply amplifies the difference between the signals. A major benefit of a differential amplifier is the improved common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) over single input amplifiers. The common-mode rejection characteristic of the differential amplifier reduces sensitivity to ground offset related noise injection, especially important in high noise applications. SHUTDOWN FUNCTION In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, the LM4673 contains shutdown circuitry that reduces current draw to less than 0.01µA. The trigger point for shutdown is shown as a typical value in the Electrical Characteristics Tables and in the Shutdown Hysteresis Voltage graphs found in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. It is best to switch between ground and supply for minimum current usage while in the shutdown state. While the LM4673 may be disabled with shutdown voltages in between ground and supply, the idle current will be greater than the typical 0.01µA value. The LM4673 has an internal resistor connected between GND and Shutdown pins. The purpose of this resistor is to eliminate any unwanted state changes when the Shutdown pin is floating. The LM4673 will enter the shutdown state when the Shutdown pin is left floating or if not floating, when the shutdown voltage has crossed the threshold. To minimize the supply current while in the shutdown state, the Shutdown pin should be driven to GND or left floating. If the Shutdown pin is not driven to GND, the amount of additional resistor current PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS As output power increases, interconnect resistance (PCB traces and wires) between the amplifier, load and power sup11 www.national.com LM4673 Application Information LM4673 differential input configuration shown in Figure 2. Equation (2) above is used to determine the value of the Ri resistors for a desired gain. Input capacitors can be used in a differential configuration as shown in Figure 3. Equation (3) above is used to determine the value of the Ci capacitors for a desired frequency response due to the high-pass filter created by Ci and Ri. Equation (2) above is used to determine the value of the Ri resistors for a desired gain. The LM4673 can be used to amplify more than one audio source. Figure 4 shows a dual differential input configuration. The gain for each input can be independently set for maximum design flexibility using the Ri resistors for each input and Equation (2). Input capacitors can be used with one or more sources as well to have different frequency responses depending on the source or if a DC voltage needs to be blocked from a source. due to the internal shutdown resistor can be found by Equation (1) below. (VSD - GND) / 300kΩ (1) With only a 0.5V difference, an additional 1.7µA of current will be drawn while in the shutdown state. PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS The gain of the LM4673 is set by the external resistors, Ri in Figure 1, The Gain is given by Equation (2) below. Best THD +N performance is achieved with a gain of 2V/V (6dB). AV = 2 * 150 kΩ / Ri (V/V) (2) It is recommended that resistors with 1% tolerance or better be used to set the gain of the LM4673. The Ri resistors should be placed close to the input pins of the LM4673. Keeping the input traces close to each other and of the same length in a high noise environment will aid in noise rejection due to the good CMRR of the LM4673. Noise coupled onto input traces which are physically close to each other will be common mode and easily rejected by the LM4673. Input capacitors may be needed for some applications or when the source is single-ended (see Figures 3, 5). Input capacitors are needed to block any DC voltage at the source so that the DC voltage seen between the input terminals of the LM4673 is 0V. Input capacitors create a high-pass filter with the input resistors, Ri. The –3dB point of the high-pass filter is found using Equation (3) below. fC = 1 / (2πRi Ci ) (Hz) SINGLE-ENDED CIRCUIT CONFIGURATIONS The LM4673 can also be used with single-ended sources but input capacitors will be needed to block any DC at the input terminals. Figure 5 shows the typical single-ended application configuration. The equations for Gain, Equation (2), and frequency response, Equation (3), hold for the single-ended configuration as shown in Figure 5. When using more than one single-ended source as shown in Figure 6, the impedance seen from each input terminal should be equal. To find the correct values for Ci3 and Ri3 connected to the +IN input pin the equivalent impedance of all the singleended sources are calculated. The single-ended sources are in parallel to each other. The equivalent capacitor and resistor, Ci3 and Ri3, are found by calculating the parallel combination of all Civalues and then all Ri values. Equations (4) and (5) below are for any number of single-ended sources. (3) The input capacitors may also be used to remove low audio frequencies. Small speakers cannot reproduce low bass frequencies so filtering may be desired . When the LM4673 is using a single-ended source, power supply noise on the ground is seen as an input signal by the +IN input pin that is capacitor coupled to ground (See Figures 5 – 7). Setting the high-pass filter point above the power supply noise frequencies, 217Hz in a GSM phone, for example, will filter out this noise so it is not amplified and heard on the output. Capacitors with a tolerance of 10% or better are recommended for impedance matching. (4) Ri3 = 1 / (1/Ri1 + 1/Ri2 + 1/Rin ...) (Ω) (5) The LM4673 may also use a combination of single-ended and differential sources. A typical application with one single-ended source and one differential source is shown in Figure 7. Using the principle of superposition, the external component values can be determined with the above equations corresponding to the configuration. DIFFERENTIAL CIRCUIT CONFIGURATIONS The LM4673 can be used in many different circuit configurations. The simplest and best performing is the DC coupled, www.national.com Ci3 = Ci1 + Ci2 + Cin ...

The commonly used Audio Precision analyzer is differential, but its ability to accurately reject high frequency signals is questionable necessitating the on board measurement filter. When in doubt or when the signal needs to be single-ended, use an audio signal transformer to convert the differential output to a single ended output. Depending on the audio transformer's characteristics, there may be some attenuation of the audio signal which needs to be taken into account for correct measurement of performance. In addition to the minimal parts required for the application circuit, a measurement filter is provided on the evaluation circuit board so that conventional audio measurements can be conveniently made without additional equipment. This is a balanced input, grounded differential output low pass filter with a 3dB frequency of approximately 35kHz and an on board termination resistor of 300Ω (see schematic). Note that the capacitive load elements are returned to ground. This is not optimal for common mode rejection purposes, but due to the independent pulse format at each output there is a significant amount of high frequency common mode component on the outputs. The grounded capacitive filter elements attenuate this component at the board to reduce the high frequency CMRR requirement placed on the analysis instruments. Measurements made at the output of the measurement filter suffer attenuation relative to the primary, unfiltered outputs even at audio frequencies. This is due to the resistance of the inductors interacting with the termination resistor (300Ω) and is typically about -0.25dB (3%). In other words, the voltage levels (and corresponding power levels) indicated through the measurement filter are slightly lower than those that actually occur at the load placed on the unfiltered outputs. This small loss in the filter for measurement gives a lower output power reading than what is really occurring on the unfiltered outputs and its load. Even with the grounded filter the audio signal is still differential, necessitating a differential input on any analysis instrument connected to it. Most lab instruments that feature BNC connectors on their inputs are NOT differential responding because the ring of the BNC is usually grounded. www.national.com 16 LM4673 LM4673SD Demo Board Artwork Top Silkscreen Top Layer 20152234 20152235 Composite View Internal Layer 1 20152232 20152231 Internal Layer 2 Bottom Silkscreen 20152233 20152230 17 www.national.com LM4673 Bottom Layer 20152229 www.national.com 18 LM4673 LM4673TM Demo Board Artwork Top Silkscreen Top Layer 20152263 20152264 Composite View Internal Layer 1 20152261 20152260 Internal Layer 2 Bottom Silkscreen 20152259 20152262 19 www.national.com LM4673 Bottom Layer 20152258 www.national.com 20 LM4673 Revision History Rev Date Description 1.0 12/16/05 Initial WEB released. 1.1 02/28/06 Taken out “Future Product”, then re-WEBd the datasheet. 1.2 04/06/06 Added the TM and SD demo boards, then released to the WEB (per Royce). 1.3 11/01/07 Deleted a sentence under the SHUTDOWN FUNCTION section. 21 www.national.com LM4673 Physical Dimensions inches (millimeters) unless otherwise noted 9 Bump micro SMD Order Number LM4673TM NS Package Number TMD09GGA X1 = 1.405 X2 = 1.405 X3 = 0.600 LLP Order Number LM4673SD NS Package Number SDA08A www.national.com 22 LM4673 Notes 23 www.national.com LM4673 Filterless, 2.65W, Mono, Class D Audio Power Amplifier Notes For more National Semiconductor product information and proven design tools, visit the following Web sites at: Products Design Support Amplifiers www.national.com/amplifiers WEBENCH www.national.com/webench Audio www.national.com/audio Analog University www.national.com/AU Clock Conditioners www.national.com/timing App Notes www.national.com/appnotes Data Converters www.national.com/adc Distributors www.national.com/contacts Displays www.national.com/displays Green Compliance www.national.com/quality/green Ethernet www.national.com/ethernet Packaging www.national.com/packaging Interface www.national.com/interface Quality and Reliability www.national.com/quality LVDS www.national.com/lvds Reference Designs www.national.com/refdesigns Power Management www.national.com/power Feedback www.national.com/feedback Switching Regulators www.national.com/switchers LDOs www.national.com/ldo LED Lighting www.national.com/led PowerWise www.national.com/powerwise Serial Digital Interface (SDI) www.national.com/sdi Temperature Sensors www.national.com/tempsensors Wireless (PLL/VCO) www.national.com/wireless THE CONTENTS OF THIS DOCUMENT ARE PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION (“NATIONAL”) PRODUCTS.
