LM4962
Ceramic Speaker Driver
General Description
Key Specifications
The LM4962 is an audio power amplifier primarily designed
for driving Ceramic Speaker for applications in Cell Phones,
Smart Phones, PDA’s and other portable applications. It is
capable of driving 15Vpp (typ) BTL with less than 1%
THD+N from a 3.2VDC power supply. The LM4962 features
and low power consumption shutdown mode, an internal
thermal shutdown protection mechanism, along with over
current protection (OCP) and over voltage protection (OVP).
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to
provide high quality output power with a minimal number of
external components. The LM4962 does not require bootstrap capacitors, or snubber circuits.
The LM4962 also features a Band-Switch function which
allows the user to use one amplifier device for both receiver
(earpiece) mode and ringer/loudspeaker mode.
The LM4962 contains advanced pop & click circuitry that
eliminates noises which would otherwise occur during
turn-on and turn-off transitions. Additionally, the internal
boost converter features a soft-start function.

is given, however, the typical value is a good indication of device performance.
Note 3: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJMAX, θJA, and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum

LM4962
PDMAX = (TJMAX - TA) / θJA
Application Information
For the LQA28A, θJA = 73˚C/W. TJMAX = 125˚C for the
LM4962. Depending on the ambient temperature, TA, of the
system surroundings, Equation 4 can be used to find the
maximum internal power dissipation supported by the IC
packaging. If the result of Equation 3 is greater than that of
Equation 4, then either the supply voltage must be increased, the load impedance increased or TA reduced. For
typical applications, power dissipation is not an issue. 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.
BRIDGE CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION
The Audio Amplifier portion of the LM4962 has two internal
amplifiers allowing different amplifier configurations. The first
amplifier’s gain is externally configurable, whereas the second amplifier is internally fixed in a unity-gain, inverting
configuration. The closed-loop gain of the first amplifier is set
by selecting the ratio of Rf to Ri while the second amplifier’s
gain is fixed by the two internal 20kΩ resistors. Figure 1
shows that the output of amplifier one serves as the input to
amplifier two. This results in both amplifiers producing signals identical in magnitude, but out of phase by 180˚. Consequently, the differential gain for the Audio Amplifier is
START-UP SEQUENCE
For the LM4962 correct start-up sequencing is important for
optimal device performance. Using the correct start up sequence will improve click/pop performance as well as avoid
transients that could reduce battery life. For ringer/
loudspeaker mode, the supply voltage should be applied first
and both the boost converter and the amplifier should be in
shutdown. The boost converter can then be activated followed by the amplifier (see timing diagram Figure 3). If the
boost converter shutdown is toggled while the amplifier is
active a very audible pop will be heard.
AVD = 2 *(Rf/Ri)
By driving the load differentially through outputs Vo1 and
Vo2, an amplifier configuration commonly referred to as
“bridged mode” is established. Bridged mode operation is
different from the classic single-ended amplifier configuration where one side of the load is connected to ground.
A bridge amplifier design has a few distinct advantages over
the single-ended configuration. It provides differential drive
to the load, thus doubling the output swing for a specified
supply voltage.
SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
In many applications, a microcontroller or microprocessor
output is used to control the shutdown circuitry to provide a
quick, smooth transition into shutdown. Another solution is to
use a single-pole, single-throw switch connected between
VDD and Shutdown pins.
AMPLIFIER POWER DISSIPATION
Power dissipation is a major concern when designing a
successful amplifier, whether the amplifier is bridged or
single-ended. A direct consequence of the increased power
delivered to the load by a bridge amplifier is an increase in
internal power dissipation. Since the amplifier portion of the
LM4962 has two operational amplifiers, the maximum internal power dissipation is 4 times that of a single-ended amplifier. The maximum power dissipation for a given BTL
application can be derived from Equation 1.
(1)
PDMAX(AMP) = 4(VDD)2 / (2π2ZL)
where
ZL = Ro1 + Ro2 +1/2πfc
BAND SWITCH FUNCTION
The LM4962 features a Band Switch function which allows
the user to use one amplifier for both receiver (earpiece)
mode and ringer/loudspeaker mode. When the boost converter and the amplifier are both active the device is is in
ringer mode. This enables the boost converter and sets the
externally configurable closed loop gain selection to BW1. If
the boost converter is in the shutdown and the amplifier is
active the device is in receiver mode. In this mode the gain
selection is switched to BW2. This allows the amplifier to be
powered directly from the battery minus the voltage drop
across the Schottky diode.
BOOST CONVERTER POWER DISSIPATION
At higher duty cycles, the increased ON-time of the switch
FET means the maximum output current will be determined
by power dissipation within the LM4962 FET switch. The
switch power dissipation from ON-time conduction is calculated by Equation 2.
(2)
PDMAX(SWITCH) = DC x IIND(AVE)2 x RDS(ON)
where DC is the duty cycle.
There will be some switching losses as well, so some derating needs to be applied when calculating IC power dissipation.

BOOTSTRAP PIN
The bootstrap pin, featured in the LM4962, provides a voltage supply for the internal switch driver. Connecting the
bootstrap pin to V1 (See Figure 1) allows for a higher voltage
to drive the gate of the switch thereby reducing the Ron. This
configuration is necessary in applications with heavier loads.
The bootstrap pin can be connected to VDD when driving
lighter loads to improve device performance (Iddq, THD+N,
Noise, etc.).
TOTAL POWER DISSIPATION
The total power dissipation for the LM4962 can be calculated
by adding Equation 1 and Equation 2 together to establish
Equation 3:
PDMAX(TOTAL) = [4*(VDD)2/
(3)
2π2ZL]+[DCxIIND(AVE)2xRDS(ON)]
The result from Equation 3 must not be greater than the
power dissipation that results from Equation 4:

LM4962
Application Information
Over-Current Protection (OCP) Operation: The OCP circuitry monitors the voltage across Rocd to detect the output
current of the boost converter. If a voltage greater than
185mV (typ) is detected the device will shutdown and the
Flagout pin will be activated. For the device to return to
normal operation both shutdown pins need to be pulled low
to reset the Flagout pin.
(Continued)
OVER-CURRENT AND OVER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION
FUNCTION
Flagout Pin: The Flagout pin indicates a fault when an over
current or over voltage condition has been detected. The
Flagout pin is high impedance when inactive. When active,
the Flagout pin is pulled down to a 50Ω short to GND.
Over-Voltage Protection (OVP) Operation: When a voltage (Vamp) greater than 8.5V (min) is detected at the
OC/OV Detect pin, the LM4962 indicates a fault by activating
the Flagout pin. The boost converter momentarily shutdown
and reinitialize the soft-start sequence. The Flagout pin will
remain active until both shutdowns pins are pulled low.
Disable OCP: The Over-Current Protection Circuitry can be
disabled by shorting out RS. In this configuration the OVP
circuitry is still active.
Disable both OVP and OCP: Both features can be disabled
by grounding the OC/OV Detect pin. In this configuration the
Flagout pin will be inactive.

PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Proper selection of external components in applications using integrated power amplifiers, and switching DC-DC converters, is critical for optimizing device and system performance. Consideration to component values must be used to
maximize overall system quality.
The best capacitors for use with the switching converter
portion of the LM4962 are multi-layer ceramic capacitors.
They have the lowest ESR (equivalent series resistance)
and highest resonance frequency, which makes them optimum for high frequency switching converters.
When selecting a ceramic capacitor, only X5R and X7R
dielectric types should be used. Other types such as Z5U
and Y5F have such severe loss of capacitance due to effects
of temperature variation and applied voltage, they may provide as little as 20% of rated capacitance in many typical
applications. Always consult capacitor manufacturer’s data
curves before selecting a capacitor. High-quality ceramic
capacitors can be obtained from Taiyo-Yuden.
SELECTING OUTPUT CAPACITOR (CO) FOR BOOST
CONVERTER
A single 4.7µF to 10µF ceramic capacitor will provide sufficient output capacitance for most applications. If larger
amounts of capacitance are desired for improved line support and transient response, tantalum capacitors can be
used. Aluminum electrolytics with ultra low ESR such as
Sanyo Oscon can be used, but are usually prohibitively
expensive. Typical AI electrolytic capacitors are not suitable
for switching frequencies above 500 kHz because of significant ringing and temperature rise due to self-heating from
ripple current. An output capacitor with excessive ESR can
also reduce phase margin and cause instability.
In general, if electrolytics are used, we recommended that
they be paralleled with ceramic capacitors to reduce ringing,
switching losses, and output voltage ripple.
SELECTING INPUT CAPACITOR (Cs1) FOR BOOST
CONVERTER
An input capacitor is required to serve as an energy reservoir
for the current which must flow into the coil each time the
switch turns ON. This capacitor must have extremely low
ESR, so ceramic is the best choice. We recommend a
nominal value of 4.7µF, but larger values can be used. Since
this capacitor reduces the amount of voltage ripple seen at
the input pin, it also reduces the amount of EMI passed back
along that line to other circuitry.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
As with any amplifier, proper supply bypassing is critical for
low noise performance and high power supply rejection. The
capacitor location on both V1 and VDD pins should be as
close to the device as possible.
SELECTING INPUT CAPACITOR FOR AUDIO
AMPLIFIER
One of the major considerations is the closedloop bandwidth
of the amplifier. To a large extent, the bandwidth is dictated
by the choice of external components shown in Figure 1. The
input coupling capacitor, Ci, forms a first order high pass filter
which limits low frequency response. This value should be
chosen based on needed frequency response for a few
distinct reasons.
High value input capacitors are both expensive and space
hungry in portable designs. Clearly, a certain value capacitor
is needed to couple in low frequencies without severe attenuation. But ceramic speakers used in portable systems,
whether internal or external, have little ability to reproduce
signals below 100Hz to 150Hz. Thus, using a high value
input capacitor may not increase actual system performance.
In addition to system cost and size, click and pop performance is affected by the value of the input coupling capacitor, Ci. A high value 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 value based on desired low frequency response, turn-on pops can be minimized.
SETTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE (V1) OF BOOST
CONVERTER
The output voltage is set using the external resistors R2 and
R5 (see Figure 1). A value of approximately 25kΩ is recommended for R2 to establish the open loop gain of the boost
converter.
V1 = VFB [1 + (R2 / R5)]
FEED-FORWARD COMPENSATION FOR BOOST
CONVERTER
Although the LM4962’s internal Boost converter is internally
compensated, the external feed-forward capacitor Cf is required for stability (see Figure 1). Adding this capacitor puts
a zero in the loop response of the converter. The recommended frequency for the zero fz should be approximately
60kHz. C3 can be calculated using the formula:
C3 = 1 / (2π x R2 x fz)
SELECTING FEEDBACK CAPACITOR FOR AUDIO
AMPLIFIER
The LM4962 is unity-gain stable which gives the designer
maximum system flexability. However, to drive ceramic
speakers, a typical application requires a closed-loop differential gain of 10. In this case a feedback capacitor (Cf2) will
be needed as shown in Figure 1 to bandwidth limit the
amplifier.
This feedback capacitor creates a low pass filter that eliminates possible high frequency noise. Care should be taken

(6)
SELECTING A SOFT-START CAPACITOR (Css)
The soft-start function charges the boost converter reference
voltage slowly, which allows the output of the boost converter to ramp up slowly thus limiting the transient current at
startup.
Selecting a soft-start capacitor (Css) value presents a trade
off between the wake-up time of the boost converter (TWUBC)
and the startup transient current. Using a larger capacitor
value will increase wake-up time and decrease startup transient current; on the flip side, using a smaller capacitor value
14
be noted that all boost converters shift over to discontinuous
operation as the output load is reduced far enough, but a
larger inductor stays “continuous” over a wider load current
range.
Taiyo-Yudens NR4012 inductor series is recommended.
(Continued)
will decrease wake-up time and increase the transient current seen at startup. A standard rule of thumb is to use a
capacitor 1000 times smaller than the output capacitance of
the boost converter (C2+Cs2). A 10nF soft-start capacitor is
recommended for a typical application.
MAXIMUM SWITCH CURRENT
The maximum FET switch current available before the current limiter cuts in is dependent on duty cycle of the application. This is illustrated in a graph in the typical performance characterization section which shows typical values
of switch current as a function of effective (actual) duty cycle.
SELECTING A VALUE FOR Rchg
The audio power amplifier integrated in the LM4962 is designed for very fast turn on time. The Cchg pin allows the
input capacitor (Ci) to charge quickly to improve click/pop
performance. Resistor, Rchg, protects the Cchg pin from any
over/under voltage conditions caused by excessive input
signal, or an active input signal when the device is in shutdown. The recommended value for Rchg is 1kΩ. If the input
signal is less than VDD+0.3V and greater than -0.3V, and if
the input signal is disabled when in shutdown mode, Rchg
may be shorted.
CALCULATING OUTPUT CURRENT OF BOOST
CONVERTER (IAMP)
The load current of the Boost Converter is related to the
average inductor current by the relation:
IAMP = IIND(AVG) x (1 - DC)
(7)
SELECTING DIODES
The external diode used in Figure 1 should be a Schottky
diode. A 20V diode such as the MBR0520 from Fairchild
Semiconductor is recommended.
The MBR05XX series of diodes are designed to handle a
maximum average current of 0.5A. For applications exceeding 0.5A average but less than 1A, a Microsemi UPS5817
can be used.
Where "DC" is the duty cycle of the application. The switch
current can be found by:
ISW = IIND(AVG) + 1/2 (IRIPPLE)
(8)
Inductor ripple current is dependent on inductance, duty
cycle, supply voltage and frequency:
DUTY CYCLE
The maximum duty cycle of the boost converter determines
the maximum boost ratio of output-to-input voltage that the
converter can attain in continuous mode of operation. The
duty cycle for a given boost application is defined as:
IRIPPLE = DC x (VDD-VSW) / (f x L)
(9)
combining all terms, we can develop an expression which
allows the maximum available load current to be calculated:
Duty Cycle = (VOUT + VDIODE - VDD) / (VAMP + VDIODE - VSW)
IAMP(max) = (1–DC)x(ISW(max)–DC(VDD-VSW))/2fL(10)
This applies for continuous mode operation.
The equation shown to calculate maximum load current
takes into account the losses in the inductor or turn-OFF
switching losses of the FET and diode.
INDUCTANCE VALUE
The first question we are usually asked is: “How small can I
make the inductor.” (because they are the largest sized
component and usually the most costly). The answer is not
simple and involves trade-offs in performance. Larger inductors mean less inductor ripple current, which typically means
less output voltage ripple (for a given size of output capacitor). Larger inductors also mean more load power can be
delivered because the energy stored during each switching
cycle is:
DESIGN PARAMETERS VSW AND ISW
The value of the FET "ON" voltage (referred to as VSW in
equations 7 thru 10) is dependent on load current. A good
approximation can be obtained by multiplying the "ON Resistance" of the FET times the average inductor current.
The maximum peak switch current the device can deliver is
dependent on duty cycle.
INDUCTOR SUPPLIERS
The recommended inductors for the LM4962 is the TaiyoYuden NR4012. When selecting an inductor, make certain
that the continuous current rating is high enough to avoid
saturation at peak currents. A suitable core type must be
used to minimize core (switching) losses, and wire power
losses must be considered when selecting the current rating.
E = L/2 x (lp)2
Where “lp” is the peak inductor current. An important point to
observe is that the LM4962 will limit its switch current based
on peak current. This means that since lp(max) is fixed,
increasing L will increase the maximum amount of power
available to the load. Conversely, using too little inductance
may limit the amount of load current which can be drawn
from the output.
Best performance is usually obtained when the converter is
operated in “continuous” mode at the load current range of
interest, typically giving better load regulation and less output ripple. Continuous operation is defined as not allowing
the inductor current to drop to zero during the cycle. It should
PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES
High frequency boost converters require very careful layout
of components in order to get stable operation and low
noise. All components must be as close as possible to the
LM4962 device. It is recommended that a 4-layer PCB be
used so that internal ground planes are available. See Figures 6–11 for demo board reference schematic and layout.

major impact on low level signal performance. Star trace
routing refers to using individual traces to feed power and
ground to each circuit or even device. This technique will
take require a greater amount of design time but will not
increase the final price of the board. The only extra parts
required may be some jumpers.
(Continued)
Some additional guidelines to be observed:
1. Keep the path between L1, D2, and C2 extremely short.
Parasitic trace inductance in series with D2 and C2 will
increase noise and ringing.
2. If internal ground planes are available (recommended)
use vias to connect directly to ground at pins A3 and D1 of
U1, as well as the negative sides of capacitors Cs1 and C2.
3. To ensure correct operation of this device, it is essential
that the GND (SW) pin (A3), GND pin (D1), and the negative
side of Cs2 be connected to the same GND plane. Cs2
should be placed as close as possible to these two GND
planes.
Single-Point Power / Ground Connection
The analog power traces should be connected to the digital
traces through a single point (link). A "Pi-filter" can be helpful
in minimizing high frequency noise coupling between the
analog and digital sections. It is further recommended to
place digital and analog power traces over the corresponding digital and analog ground traces to minimize noise coupling.
GENERAL MIXED-SIGNAL LAYOUT
RECOMMENDATION
Placement of Digital and Analog Components
All digital components and high-speed digital signals traces
should be located as far away as possible from analog
components and circuit traces.
This section provides practical guidelines for mixed signal
PCB layout that involves various digital/analog power and
ground traces. Designers should note that these are only
"rule-of-thumb" recommendations and the actual results will
depend heavily on the final layout.
Avoiding Typical Design / Layout Problems
Avoid ground loops or running digital and analog traces
parallel to each other (side-by-side) on the same PCB layer.
When traces must cross over each other do it at 90 degrees.
Running digital and analog traces at 90 degrees to each
other from the top to the bottom side as much as possible will
minimize capacitive noise coupling and crosstalk.
Power and Ground Circuits
For 2 layer mixed signal design, it is important to isolate the
digital power and ground trace paths from the analog power
and ground trace paths. Star trace routing techniques (bringing individual traces back to a central point rather than daisy
chaining traces together in a serial manner) can have a
