Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to provide high quality output power with a minimal amount of external components. Since the LM4871 does not require output coupling capacitors, bootstrap capacitors, or snubber networks, it is optionally suited for low-power portable systems. The LM4871 features an externally controlled, low-power consumption shutdown mode, as well as an internal thermal shutdown protection mechanism.

The first amplifier’s gain is externally configurable, while 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 40 kΩ resistors. Figure 1 shows that the output of amplifier one serves as the input to amplifier two which results in both amplifiers producing signals identical in magnitude, but out of phase 180˚. Consequently, the differential gain for the IC is 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 classical single-ended amplifier configuration where one side of its load is connected to ground. A bridge amplifier design has a few distinct advantages over the single-ended configuration, as it provides differential drive to the load, thus doubling output swing for a specified supply voltage. Four times the output power is possible as 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 clipped. In order to choose an amplifier’s closed-loop gain without causing excessive clipping, please refer to the Audio Power Amplifier Design section. A bridge configuration, such as the one used in LM4871, also creates a second advantage over single-ended amplifiers. Since the differential outputs, Vo1 and Vo2, are biased at half-supply, no net DC voltage exists across the load. This eliminates the need for an output coupling capacitor which is required in a single supply, single-ended amplifier configuration. Without an output coupling capacitor, the half-supply bias across the load would result in both increased internal IC power dissipation and also possible loudspeaker damage. 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 the bypass and power supply pins should be as close to the device as possible. Typical applications employ a 5V regulator with 10 µF and a 0.1 µF bypass capacitors which aid in supply stability. This does not eliminate the need for bypassing the supply nodes of the LM4871. The selection of bypass capacitors, especially CB, is dependent upon PSRR requirements, click and pop performance as explained in the section, Proper Selection of External Components, system cost, and size constraints. SHUTDOWN FUNCTION In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, the LM4871 contains a shutdown pin to externally turn off the amplifier’s bias circuitry. This shutdown feature turns the amplifier off when a logic high is placed on the shutdown pin. The trigger point between a logic low and logic high level is typically half- supply. It is best to switch between ground and supply to provide maximum device performance. By switching the shutdown pin to VDD, the LM4871 supply current draw will be minimized in idle mode. While the device will be disabled with shutdown pin voltages less then VDD, the idle current may be greater than the typical value of 0.6 µA. In either case, the shutdown pin should be tied to a definite voltage to avoid unwanted state changes. In many applications, a microcontroller or microprocessor output is used to control the shutdown circuitry which provides a quick, smooth transition into shutdown. Another solution is to use a single-pole, single-throw switch in conjunction with an external pull-up resistor. When the switch is closed, the shutdown pin is connected to ground and enables the amplifier. If the switch is open, then the external pull-up resistor will disable the LM4871. This scheme guarantees that the shutdown pin will not float thus preventing unwanted state changes. POWER DISSIPATION Power dissipation is a major concern when designing a successful amplifier, whether the amplifier is bridged or singleended. A direct consequence of the increased power delivered to the load by a bridge amplifier is an increase in internal power dissipation. Equation 1 states the maximum power dissipation point for a bridge amplifier operating at a given supply voltage and driving a specified output load. PDMAX = 4*(VDD)2/(2π2RL) (1) Since the LM4871 has two operational amplifiers in one package, the maximum internal power dissipation is 4 times that of a single-ended ampifier. Even with this substantial increase in power dissipation, the LM4871 does not require heatsinking under most operating conditions and output loading. From Equation 1, assuming a 5V power supply and an 8Ω load, the maximum power dissipation point is 625 mW. The maximum power dissipation point obtained from Equation 1 must not be greater than the power dissipation that results from Equation 2: PDMAX = (TJMAX–TA)/θJA (2) PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS Proper selection of external components in applications using integrated power amplifiers is critical to optimize device and system performance. While the LM4871 is tolerant of For package M08A, θJA = 140˚C/W, and for package N08E, θJA = 107˚C/W assuming free air operation. TJMAX = 150˚C for the LM4871. The θJA can be decreased by using some form of heat sinking. The resultant θJA will be the summation of the θJC, θCS, and θSA. θJC is the junction to case of the 深圳市森利威尔电子有限公司 李生：１３５ １０２９ ４４０６ 5 LM4871 package, θCS is the case to heat sink thermal resistance and θSA is the heat sink to ambient thermal resistance. By adding additional copper area around the LM4871, the θJA can be reduced from its free air value of 140˚C/W for package M08A. Depending on the ambient temperature, TA, and the θJA, 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, the θJA decreased, or the ambient temperature reduced. For the typical application of a 5V power supply, with an 8Ω load, and no additional heatsinking, the maximum ambient temperature possible without violating the maximum junction temperature is approximately 61˚C provided that device operation is around the maximum power dissipation point and assuming surface mount packaging. Internal power dissipation is a function of output power. If typical operation is not around the maximum power dissipation point, the ambient temperature can be increased. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics curves for power dissipation information for different output powers and output loading. Application Information LM4871 Application Information (Continued) external component combinations, consideration to component values must be used to maximize overall system quality. The LM4871 is unity-gain stable which gives a designer maximum system flexibility. The LM4871 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. Besides gain, 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. Selection Of Input Capacitor Size Large input capacitors are both expensive and space hungry 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 100 Hz to 150 Hz. Thus, using a large input capacitor may not increase actual system performance. In addition to system cost and size, click and pop performance is effected 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 capacitor size, 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 LM4871 turns on. The slower the LM4871’s outputs ramp to their quiescent DC voltage (nominally 1/2 VDD), the smaller the turn-on pop. Choosing CB equal to 1.0 µF along with a small value of Ci (in the range of 0.1 µF to 0.39 µF), should produce a virtually clickless and popless shutdown function. While the device will function properly, (no oscillations or motorboating), with CB equal to 0.1 µF, the device will be much more susceptible to turn-on clicks and pops. Thus, a value of CB equal to 1.0 µF is recommended in all but the most cost sensitive designs. AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER DESIGN Design a 1W/8Ω Audio Amplifier Given: Power Output Load Impedance Input Level Input Impedance 1 Wrms 8Ω 1 Vrms 20 kΩ Bandwidth 100 Hz–20 kHz ± 0.25 dB A designer must first determine the minimum supply rail to obtain the specified output power. By extrapolating from the Output Power vs Supply Voltage graphs in the Typical Performance Characteristics section, the supply rail can be easily found. A second way to determine the minimum supply rail is to calculate the required Vopeak using Equation 3 and add the output voltage. Using this method, the minimum supply voltage would be (Vopeak + (VODTOP + VODBOT)), where VODBOT and VODTOP are extrapolated from the Dropout Voltage vs Supply Voltage curve in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. (3) Using the Output Power vs Supply Voltage graph for an 8Ω load, the minimum supply rail is 4.6V. But since 5V is a standard voltage in most applications, it is chosen for the supply rail. Extra supply voltage creates headroom that allows the LM4871 to reproduce peaks in excess of 1W without producing audible distortion. 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. Once the power dissipation equations have been addressed, the required differential gain can be determined from Equation 4. (4) Rf/Ri = AVD/2 (5) From Equation 4, the minimum AVD is 2.83; use AVD = 3. Since the desired input impedance was 20 kΩ, and with a AVD impedance of 2, a ratio of 1.5:1 of Rf to Ri results in an allocation of Ri = 20 kΩ and Rf = 30 kΩ. 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 −3 dB point is 0.17 dB down from passband response which is better than the required ± 0.25 dB specified. fL = 100 Hz/5 = 20 Hz fH = 20 kHz * 5 = 100 kHz As stated in the External Components section, Ri in conjunction with Ci create a highpass filter. Ci ≥ 1/(2π*20 kΩ*20 Hz) = 0.397 µF; use 0.39 µF The high frequency pole is determined by the product of the desired frequency pole, fH, and the differential gain, AVD. With a AVD = 3 and fH = 100 kHz, the resulting GBWP = 150 kHz which is much smaller than the LM4871 GBWP of 4 MHz. This figure displays that if a designer has a need to design an amplifier with a higher differential gain, the LM4871 can still be used without running into bandwidth limitations. 深圳市森利威尔电子有限公司 李生：１３５ １０２９ ４４０６ inches (millimeters) unless otherwise noted Order Number LM4871M NS Package Number M08A Order Number LM4871N NS Package Number N08E 深圳市森利威尔电子有限公司 李生：１３５ １０２９ ４４０６ 7 LM4871 Physical Dimensions
