NSC LM49270

LM49270 Filterless 2.2W Stereo Class D Audio Subsystem with OCL
Headphone Amplifier, 3D Enhancement, and Headphone
Sense
General Description
Key Specifications
The LM49270 is a fully integrated audio subsystem designed
for stereo multimedia applications. The LM49270 combines a
2.2W stereo Class D amplifier with a 155mW stereo headphone amplifier, volume control, headphone sense, and
National’s unique 3D sound enhancement into a single device. The LM49270 uses flexible I2C control interface for
multiple application requirements.
The filterless stereo class D amplifiers delivers 2.2W/channel
into a 4Ω load with less than 10% THD+N with a 5V supply.
The headphone amplifier features National’s Output Capacitor-less (OCL) architecture that eliminates the output coupling
capacitors required by traditional headphone amplifiers.
The IC features a headphone sense input (HPS) that automatically detects the presence of a headphone and configures the device accordingly. The LM49270 can automatically
switch from OCL headphone output to a line driver output. If
the VOC pin is pulled to GND, the VOC amplifier is disabled
and the VOC pin is internally set to GND. This feature allows
the LM49270 to be used as a line driver in OCL mode without
a GND conflict on the headphone jack sleeve. Additionally,
the headphone amplifier can be configured as capacitively
coupled (CC).
The LM49270 features a 32 step volume control for the headphone and stereo outputs. The device mode select and volume are controlled through an I2C compatible interface.
Output short circuit and thermal shutdown protection prevent
the device from being damaged during fault conditions. Superior click and pop suppression eliminates audible transients
on power-up/down and during shutdown. The LM49270 is
available in a space saving 28-pin, 5x5mm LLP package.

Note 1: All voltages are measured with respect to the ground pin, unless otherwise specified.
Note 2: 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 3: 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 PDMAX = (TJMAX – TA)/ θJA or the number given in Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. For the LM49270 see power
derating currents for more information.
Note 4: Human body model, 100pF discharged through a 1.5kΩ resistor.
Note 5: Machine Model, 220pF–240pF discharged through all pins.
Note 6: Typicals are measured at 25°C and represent the parametric norm.
Note 7: Limits are guaranteed to National's AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
Note 8: Datasheet min/max specification limits are guaranteed by design, test, or statistical analysis.

word. Each transmission sequence is framed by a START
condition and a STOP condition. Each word (register address
+ register content) transmitted over the bus is 8 bits long and
is always followed by an acknowledge pulse.
To avoid an address conflict with another device on the I2C
bus, the LM49270 address is determined by the ADR pin, the
state of ADR determines address bit A1 (Table 2). When ADR
= 0, the address is 1111 1000. When ADR = 1 the device
address is 1111 1010.
I2C COMPATIBLE INTERFACE
The LM49270 is controlled through an I2C compatible serial
interface that consists of a serial data line (SDA) and a serial
clock (SCL). The clock line is uni-directional. The data line is
bi-directional (open-collector), although the LM49270 does
not write to the I2C bus. The LM49270 and the master can
communicate at clock rates up to 400kHz. Figure 3 shows the
I2C interface timing diagram. The LM49270 is a transmit/receive slave-only device, reliant upon the master to generate
a clock signal.
The master device communicates to the LM49270 by transmitting the proper device address followed by a command

After the last address bit is sent, the master device releases
the data line, during which time, an acknowledge clock pulse
is generated. If the LM49270 receives the address correctly,
then the LM49270 pulls the data line low, generating an acknowledge bit (ACK).
Once the master device has registered the ACK bit, the 8-bit
register address/data word is sent. Each data bit should be
stable while the clock level is high. After the 8–bit word is sent,
the LM49270 sends another ACK bit. Following the acknowledgement of the data word, the master device issues a “stop”
bit, allowing SDA to go high while the clock signal is high.
BUS FORMAT
The I2C bus format is shown in Figure 2. The “start” signal is
generated by lowering the data signal while the clock is high.
The start signal alerts all devices on the bus that a device
address is being written to the bus.
The 8-bit device address is written to the bus next, most significant bit first. The data is latched in on the rising edge of the
clock. Each address bit must be stable while the clock is high.

GENERAL AMPLIFIER FUNCTION
Capacitor Coupled Headphone Mode
In capacitor coupled (CC) mode, the VOC pin is disabled, and
the headphone outputs are coupled to the jack through series
capacitors, allowing the headphone return to be connected to
GND (Figure 4). In CC mode, the LM49270 requires output
coupling capacitors to block the DC component of the amplifier output, preventing DC current from flowing to the load.
The output capacitor and speaker impedance form a high
pass filter with a -3dB roll-off determined by:
Class D Amplifier
The LM49270 features a high-efficiency, filterless, Class D
stereo amplifier. The LM49270 Class D amplifiers feature a
filterless modulation scheme known as Class BD. The differential outputs of each channel switch at 300kHz from VDD to
GND. When there is no input signal applied, the two outputs
(LLS+ and LLS-) switch in phase with a 50% duty cycle. Because the outputs of the LM49270 are differential, there is in
no net voltage across the speaker, thus no load current during
the idle state conserving power.
When an input signal is applied, the duty cycle (pulse width)
of each output changes. For increasing output voltages, the
duty cycle of LLS+ increases, while the duty cycle of LLSdecreases. For decreasing output voltages, the converse
occurs. The duty cycle of LLS- increases while the duty cycle
of LLS+ decreases. The difference between the two pulse
widths yields the differential output voltage.
f-3dB = 1 / 2πRLCOUT
Where RL is the headphone impedance, and COUT is the output coupling capacitor. Choose COUT such that f-3dB is well
below the lowest frequency of interest. Setting f-3dB too high
results in poor low frequency performance. Select capacitor
dielectric types with low ESR to minimize signal loss due to
capacitor series resistance and maximize power transfer to
the load.
Headphone Amplifier
The LM49270 headphone amplifier features two different operating modes, output capacitor-less (OCL) and capacitor
coupled (CC). The OCL architecture eliminates the bulky, expensive output coupling capacitors required by traditional
headphone amplifiers. The LM49270 headphone section uses three amplifiers. Two amplifiers drive the headphones
while the third (VOC) is set to the internally generated bias
voltage (typically VDD/2). The third amplifier is connected to
the return terminal (sleeve) of the headphone jack. In this
configuration, the signal side of the headphones are biased
to VDD/2, the return is biased to VDD/2, thus there is no net DC
voltage across the headphone eliminating the need for an
output coupling capacitor. Removing the output coupling capacitors from the headphone signal path reduces component
count, reducing system cost and board space consumption,
as well as improving low frequency performance and sound
quality. The voltage on the return sleeve is not an issue when
driving headphones. However, if the headphone output is
used as a line out, the VDD/2 can conflict with the GND potential that a line-in would expect on the return sleeve. When
the return of the headphone jack is connected to GND, the
LM49270 detects an output short circuit condition and the
VOC amplifier is disabled preventing damage to the LM49270
and allowing the headphone return to be biased at GND.

Headphone Sense
The LM49270 features a headphone sense input (HPS) that
monitors the headphone jack and configures the device depending on the presence of a headphone. When the HPS pin
is low, indicating that a headphone is not present, the
LM49270 speaker amplifiers are active and the headphone

In OCL mode, the maximum power dissipation increases due
to the use of a third amplifier as a buffer. The power dissipation is given by:
PDMAX(OCL) = VDD2/π2RL
POWER DISSIPATION AND EFFICIENCY
The major benefit of Class D amplifier is increased efficiency
versus Class AB. The efficiency of the LM49270 speaker amplifiers is attributed to the output transistors’ region of operation. The Class D output stage acts as current steering
switches, consuming negligible amounts of power compared
to their Class AB counterparts. Most of the power loss associated with the output stage is due to the IR loss of the
MOSFET on-resistance (RDS(ON)) , along with the switching
losses due to gate charge.
The maximum power dissipation per headphone channel in
Capacitor Coupled mode is given by:
SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
The LM49270 features a shutdown mode configured through
the I2C interface. Bit D0 (PWR_ON) in the Shutdown Control
register shuts down/turns on the entire device. Set PWR_ON
= 1 to enable the LM49270, set PWR_ON = 0 to disable the
device.
AUDIO AMPLIFIER GAIN SETTING
Each channel of the LM49270 features a 32 step volume control. The loudspeaker volume has a range of -47dB to 30dB
and the headphone has a range of -59dB to 18dB (see Table
4).

that a headphone is present, the headphone amplifiers are
active while the speaker amplifiers are disabled.

as close to the device as possible. Typical applications employ a voltage regulator with 10µF and 0.1µF bypass capacitors that increase supply stability. These capacitors do not
eliminate the need for bypassing of the LM49270 supply pins.
A 1µF capacitor is recommended.
NATIONAL 3D ENHANCEMENT
The LM49720 features National’s 3D sound enhancement.
3D sound improves the apparent stereo channel separation
whenever the left and right speakers are located close to each
other, widening the perceived sound stage in devices with a
small form factor that prohibits proper speaker placement.
An external RC network , shown in Figure 1, enables the 3D
effect. R3D sets the level of the 3D effect; decreasing the value of R3D will increase the 3D effect. The 3D network acts
like a high pass filter C3D sets the frequency response; increasing the value of C3D will decrease the low cutoff frequency at which the 3D effect starts to occur, as shown by
this equation:
f3D(-3dB) = 1/2π(R3D)(C3D)
Bypass Capacitor Selection
The LM49270 generates a VDD/2 common-mode bias voltage
internally. The BYPASS capacitor, CB, improves PSRR and
THD+N by reducing noise at the BYPASS node. Use a 1μF
capacitor, placed as close to the device as possible for CB.
Audio Amplifier Input Capacitor Selection
Input capacitors, CIN, in conjunction with the input impedance
of the LM49270 forms a high pass filter that removes the DC
bias from an incoming signal. The AC-coupling capacitor allows the amplifier to bias the signal to an optimal DC level.
Assuming zero source impedance, the -3dB point of the high
pass filter is given by:
(1)
Enabling the 3D effect increases the gain by a multiplication
factor of (1 + 20kΩ/R3D). Setting R3D to 20kΩ results in a
6dB increase (doubling) of the gain, increasing the 3D effect.
The level of 3D effect is also dependent on other factors such
as speaker placement and the distance from the speakers to
the listener. The values of R3D and C3D should be chosen
for each application individually, taking into account the physical factors noted before.
f(–3dB) = 1/2πRINCIN
POWER SUPPLIES
The LM49270 uses different supplies for each portion of the
device, allowing for the optimum combination of headroom,
power dissipation and noise immunity. The speaker amplifier
gain stage is powered from VDD, while the output stage is
powered from LSVDD. The headphone amplifiers, input amplifiers and volume control stages are powered from HPVDD.
The separate power supplies allow the speakers to operate
from a higher voltage for maximum headroom, while the
headphones operate from a lower voltage, improving power
dissipation. HPVDD may be driven by a linear regulator to further improve performance in noisy environments. The I2C
portion if powered from I2CVDD, allowing the I2C portion of the
LM49270 to interface with lower voltage digital controllers.
PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Audio Amplifier Power Supply Bypassing/Filtering
Proper power supply bypassing is critical for low noise performance and high PSRR. Place the supply bypass capacitor

Choose CIN such that f-3dB is well below that lowest frequency
of interest. Setting f-3dB too high affects the low-frequency responses of the amplifier. Use capacitors with low voltage
coefficient dielectrics, such as tantalum or aluminum electrolytic. Capacitors with high-voltage coefficients, such as
ceramics, may result in increased distortion at low frequencies. Other factors to consider when designing the input filter
include the constraints of the overall system. Although high
fidelity audio requires a flat frequency response between
20Hz and 20kHz, portable devices such as cell phones may
only concentrate on the frequency range of the frequency
range of the spoken human voice (typically 300Hz to 4kHz).
In addition, the physical size of the speakers used in such
portable devices limits the low frequency response; in this
case, frequencies below 150Hz may be filtered out.
