The LM4841 uses advanced, latest generation circuitry to  
eliminate all traces of clicks and pops when the supply  
voltages is first applied. The amplifier has a headphone-  
amplifier-select input pin that is used to switch the amplifiers  
from bridge to single-ended mode for driving headphones. A  
new circuit topology eliminates headphone output coupling  
capacitors (patent pending).  
Boomer® audio integrated circuits are designed specifically  
to provide high quality audio while requiring a minimum  
amount of external components. The LM4841 incorporates a  
DC volume control, stereo bridged audio power amplifiers  
and a selectable gain or bass boost, making it optimally  
suited for multimedia monitors, portable radios, desktop, and  
portable computer applications.

ELIMINATING OUTPUT COUPLING CAPACITORS  
LM4841’s one-half supply voltage on a plug’s sleeve con-  
nection. Driving portable notebook computer or  
a
Typical single-supply audio amplifiers that can switch be-  
tween driving bridge-tied-load (BTL) speakers and  
single-ended (SE) headphones use a coupling capacitor on  
each SE output. This capacitor blocks the half-supply volt-  
age to which the output amplifiers are typically biased and  
couples the audio signal to the headphones. The signal  
return to circuit ground is through the headphone jack’s  
sleeve.  
audio-visual display equipment is possible. This presents no  
difficulty when the external equipment uses capacitively  
coupled inputs. For the very small minority of equipment that  
is DC-coupled, the LM4841 monitors the current supplied by  
the amplifier that drives the headphone jack’s sleeve. If this  
current exceeds 500mAPK, the amplifier is shutdown, pro-  
tecting the LM4841 and the external equipment.  
The LM4841 eliminates these coupling capacitors. Amplifi-  
erA+ (pin 28 on MT/MH) is internally configured to apply  
VDD/2 to a stereo headphone jack’s sleeve. This voltage  
matches the quiescent voltage present on the AmpAout- and  
AmpBout- outputs that drive the headphones. The head-  
OUTPUT TRANSIENT (’POPS AND CLICKS’)  
ELIMINATED  
The LM4841 contains advanced circuitry that eliminates out-  
put transients (’pop and click’). This circuitry prevents all  
traces of transients when the supply voltage is first applied,  
when the part resumes operation after shutdown, or when  
switching between BTL speakers and SE headphones. Two  
circuits combine to eliminate pop and click. One circuit  
mutes the output when switching between speaker loads.  
Another circuit monitors the input signal. It maintains the  
muted condition until there is sufficient input signal magni-  
phones operate in  
a
manner very similar to  
a
bridge-tied-load (BTL). The same DC voltage is applied to  
both headphone speaker terminals. This results in no net DC  
current flow through the speaker. AC current flows through a  
headphone speaker as an audio signal’s output amplitude  
increases on the speaker’s terminal.  
When operating as a headphone amplifier, the headphone  
jack sleeve is not connected to circuit ground. Using the  
headphone output jack as a line-level output will place the  
>
tude ( 22mVRMS, typ) to mask any remaining transient that  
may occur. (See Turn On Characteristics).

FIGURE 3. Differential output signal (Trace B) is devoid of transients. The SHUTDOWN pin is driven by a shutdown  
signal (Trace A). The inverting output (Trace C) and the non-inverting output (Trace D) are applied across an 8BTL  
load.  
Figure 3 shows the LM4841’s lack of transients in the differ-  
ential signal (Trace B) across a BTL 8load. The LM4841’s  
active-high SHUTDOWN pin is driven by the logic signal  
shown in Trace A. Trace C is the VOUT- output signal and  
trace D is the VOUT+ output signal. The shutdown signal  
frequency is 1Hz with a 50% duty cycle. Figure 4 is gener-  
ated with the same conditions except that the output drives a  
32single-ended (SE) load. Again, no trace of output tran-  
sients on Trace B can be observed.

EXPOSED-DAP PACKAGE PCB MOUNTING  
CONSIDERATIONS  
PCB LAYOUT AND SUPPLY REGULATION  
CONSIDERATIONS FOR DRIVING 3AND 4LOADS  
The LM4841’s exposed-DAP (die attach paddle) packages  
(MH,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 2.1W at 1% THD with a 4load. This high power  
is achieved through careful consideration of necessary ther-  
mal design. Failing to optimize thermal design may compro-  
mise the LM4841’s high power performance and activate  
unwanted, though necessary, thermal shutdown protection.  
Power dissipated by a load is a function of the voltage swing  
across the load and the load’s impedance. As load imped-  
ance decreases, load dissipation becomes increasingly de-  
pendent on the interconnect (PCB trace and wire) resistance  
between the amplifier output pins and the load’s connec-  
tions. Residual trace resistance causes a voltage drop,  
which results in power dissipated in the trace and not in the  
load as desired. For example, 0.1trace resistance reduces  
the output power dissipated by a 4load 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.  
The MH and LQ packages must have their exposed DAPs  
soldered to a grounded copper pad on the PCB. The DAP’s  
PCB copper pad is connected to a large grounded plane of  
continuous unbroken copper. This plane forms a thermal  
mass 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) (MH) vias or 6(3x2) LQ. 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.  
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 sup-  
plies, 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.  
Best thermal performance is achieved with the largest prac-  
tical 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 4load. Heatsink areas  
not placed on the same PCB layer as the LM4841MH and  
LQ packages should be 5in2 (min) for the same supply  
voltage and load resistance. The last two area recommen-  
dations apply for 25˚C ambient temperature. Increase the  
area to compensate for ambient temperatures above 25˚C.  
The junction temperature must be held below 150˚C to pre-  
vent activating the LM4841’s thermal shutdown protection.  
The LM4841’s power de-rating curve in the Typical Perfor-  
mance Characteristics shows the maximum power dissipa-  
tion versus temperature. Example PCB layouts for the  
exposed-DAP TSSOP and LQ packages are shown in the  
Demonstration Board Layout section. Further detailed and  
specific information concerning PCB layout and fabrication is  
available in National Semiconductor’s AN1187.  
BRIDGE CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION  
As shown in Figure 2, the LM4841 output stage 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.)  
Figure 2 shows that the first amplifier’s negative (-) output  
serves as the second amplifier’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 dif-  
ferentially (commonly referred to as “bridge mode”). This  
results in a differential gain of  
*
AVD = 2 (RGFA/RGIA  
)

mum ambient temperature that still allows maximum stereo  
power dissipation without violating the LM4841’s maximum  
junction temperature.  
Application Information (Continued)  
Bridge mode amplifiers are different from single-ended am-  
plifiers that drive loads connected between a single amplifi-  
er’s output and ground. For a given supply voltage, bridge  
mode has a distinct advantage over the single-ended con-  
figuration: 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 sig-  
nal clipping when choosing an amplifier’s closed-loop gain,  
refer to the Audio Power Amplifier Design section.  
TA = TJMAX – 2*PDMAX θJA  
(5)  
For a typical application with a 5V power supply and an 4Ω  
load, the maximum ambient temperature that allows maxi-  
mum stereo power dissipation without exceeding the maxi-  
mum junction temperature is approximately 45˚C for the MH  
package.  
TJMAX = PDMAX θJA + TA  
(6)  
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, single-  
ended amplifiers require. Eliminating an output coupling ca-  
pacitor 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 perma-  
nently damage loads such as speakers.  
Equation (6) gives the maximum junction temperature  
TJMAX. If the result violates the LM4841’s 150˚C TJMAX  
reduce the maximum junction temperature by reducing the  
power supply voltage or increasing the load resistance. Fur-  
ther allowance should be made for increased ambient tem-  
peratures.  
,
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.  
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 single-  
ended amplifier operating at a given supply voltage and  
driving a specified output load.  
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, θCS is the case-to-sink  
thermal impedance, and θSA is the sink-to-ambient thermal  
impedance.) Refer to the Typical Performance Character-  
istics curves for power dissipation information at lower out-  
put power levels.  
PDMAX = (VDD)2/(2π2RL) Single-Ended  
(2)  
However, a direct consequence of the increased power de-  
livered to the load by a bridge amplifier is higher internal  
power dissipation for the same conditions.  
The LM4841 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 ampli-  
fier. From Equation (3), assuming a 5V power supply and a  
4load, the maximum single channel power dissipation is  
1.27W or 2.54W for stereo operation.  
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 10 µF in parallel with a 0.1 µF filter capacitor 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 1.0 µF  
tantalum bypass capacitance connected between the  
LM4841’s supply pins and ground. Do not substitute a ce-  
ramic capacitor for the tantalum. Doing so may cause oscil-  
lation. Keep the length of leads and traces that connect  
capacitors between the LM4841’s power supply pin and  
ground as short as possible. Connecting a 1µF capacitor,  
CB, between the BYPASS pin and ground improves the  
internal bias voltage’s stability and the amplifier’s PSRR. The  
PSRR improvements increase as the bypass pin capacitor  
value increases. Too large a capacitor, however, increases  
turn-on time and can compromise the 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 following  
section, Selecting Proper External Components), system  
cost, and size constraints.  
PDMAX = 4 (VDD)2/(2π2RL) Bridge Mode  
(3)  
*
The LM4841’s power dissipation is twice that given by Equa-  
tion (2) or Equation (3) when operating in the single-ended  
mode or bridge mode, respectively. Twice the maximum  
power dissipation point given by Equation (3) must not ex-  
ceed the power dissipation given by Equation (4):  
PDMAX' = (TJMAX − TA)/θJA  
(4)  
The LM4841’s TJMAX = 150˚C. In the LQ package soldered  
to a DAP pad that expands to a copper area of 5in2 on a  
PCB, the LM4841’s θJA is 20˚C/W. In the MH and LQ pack-  
ages soldered to a DAP pad that expands to a copper area  
of 2in2 on a PCB, the LM4841MH’s and LQ’s θJA is 41˚C/W.  
For the LM4841MT package, θJA = 80˚C/W. At any given  
ambient temperature TA, use Equation (4) to find the maxi-  
mum internal power dissipation supported by the IC packag-  
ing. Rearranging Equation (4) and substituting PDMAX for  
PDMAX' results in Equation (5). This equation gives the maxi-

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 LM4841 is ready to  
be fully turned on. To turn the device on, the input signal  
must exceed 22mVrms. This is accomplished through a  
threshold detect circuit that enables all appropriate output  
amplifiers after the 22mVrms limit is reached. Until this  
threshold is reached, some of the amplifiers remain in a  
tri-state mode. This insures that there is no current flowing  
through to the speakers or headphones during power up.  
Without current flow, the speakers or headphones remain  
silent. During headphone mode, A+, B-, and B+ are in tri-  
state mode during power up. During speaker mode, A+ and  
B+ are in tri-state mode during power up.

SELECTING PROPER EXTERNAL COMPONENTS  
Optimizing the LM4841’s performance requires properly se-  
lecting external components. Though the LM4841 operates  
well when using external components with wide tolerances,  
best performance is achieved by optimizing component val-  
ues.  
The LM4841 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 ra-  
tio. These parameters are compromised as the closed-loop  
gain increases. However, low gain circuits demand 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.  
Although the BYPASS pin current cannot be modified,  
changing the size of CBYP alters the device’s turn-on time. As  
the size of CBYP increases, the turn-on time increases. There  
is a linear relationship between the size of CBYP and the  
turn-on time. Here are some typical turn-on times for various  
Input Capacitor Value Selection  
Amplifying the lowest audio frequencies requires a high  
value input coupling capacitor (0.33µF in Figure 2), but high  
value capacitors can be expensive and may compromise  
space efficiency in portable designs. In many cases, how-  
ever, the speakers used in portable systems, whether inter-  
nal or external, have little ability to reproduce signals below  
150 Hz. Applications using speakers with this limited fre-  
quency response reap little improvement by using a large  
input capacitor.

Besides effecting system cost and size, the input coupling  
capacitor has an affect on the LM4841’s click and pop per-  
formance. When the supply voltage is first applied, a tran-  
sient (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 cur-  
rent. The amplifier’s output charges the input capacitor  
through the feedback resistor, Rf. Thus, pops can be mini-  
mized by selecting an input capacitor value that is no higher  
than necessary to meet the desired −6dB frequency.  
DOCKING STATION INTERFACE  
Applications such as notebook computers can take advan-  
tage of a docking station to connect to external devices such  
as monitors or audio/visual equipment that sends or receives  
line level signals. The LM4841 has two outputs, Dock A and  
Dock B, which connect to outputs of the internal input am-  
plifiers that drive the volume control inputs. These input  
>
amplifiers can drive loads of 1k(such as powered speak-  
ers) with a rail-to-rail signal. Since the output signal present  
on the Dock A and Dock B pins are biased to VDD/2, coupling  
capacitors should be connected in series with the load when  
using these outputs. Typical values for the output coupling  
capacitors are 0.33µF to 1.0µF. If polarized coupling capaci-  
tors are used, connect their ’+’ terminals to the respective  
output pin.  
As shown in Figure 2, the input resistor (RIA, RIB = 20k) ( and  
the input capacitor (CIA, CIB = 0.33µF) produce a −6dB high  
pass filter cutoff frequency that is found using Equation (7).  
Since the Dock outputs precede the internal volume control,  
the signal amplitude will be equal to the input signal’s mag-  
nitude and cannot be adjusted. However, the input amplifi-  
er’s closed-loop gain can be adjusted using external resis-  
tors. These 20k resistors (RFA and RFB) are shown in Figure  
2 and they set each input amplifier’s gain to -1. Use Equation  
7 to determine the input and feedback resistor values for a  
desired gain.  
(7)  
As an example when using a speaker with a low frequency  
limit of 150Hz, the input coupling capacitor, using Equation  
(7), is 0.063µF. The 0.33µF input coupling capacitor shown  
in Figure 2 allows the LM4841 to drive a high efficiency, full  
range speaker whose response extends below 30Hz.  
TURN ON Characteristics  
- Av = RF / RIN  
(8)  
The LM4841 contains advanced circuitry that minimizes  
turn-on and shutdown transients or “clicks and pops”. 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  
LM4841’s internal amplifiers are configured as unity gain  
buffers. An internal current source changes the voltage of  
Adjusting the input amplifier’s gain sets the minimum gain for  
that channel. Although the single ended output of the Bridge  
Output Amplifiers can be used to drive line level outputs, it is  
recommended that the A & B Dock Outputs simpler signal  
path be used for better performance.

When activated, the LM4841’s micro-power shutdown fea-  
ture turns off the amplifier’s bias circuitry, reducing the sup-  
ply current. On the demo board, the micro-power shutdown  
feature is controlled by a single pole switch that connects the  
shutdown pin to either VDD, for normal operation, or directly  
to ground to enable shutdown. In a system with a micropro-  
cessor or a microcontroller, use a digital output to apply the  
control voltage to the SHUTDOWN pin.  
Application Information (Continued)  
BEEP DETECT FUNCTION  
Computers and notebooks produce a system “beep“ signal  
that drives a small speaker. The speaker’s auditory output  
signifies that the system requires user attention or input. To  
accommodate this system alert signal, the LM4841’s beep  
input pin is a mono input that accepts the beep signal.  
Internal level detection circuitry at this input monitors the  
beep signal’s magnitude. When a signal level greater than  
VDD/2 is detected on the BEEP IN pin, the bridge output  
amplifiers are enabled. The beep signal is amplified and  
applied to the load connected to the output amplifiers. A valid  
beep signal will be applied to the load even when MUTE is  
active. Use the input resistors connected between the BEEP  
IN pin and the stereo input pins to accommodate different  
beep signal amplitudes. These resistors are shown as  
200kdevices in Figure 2. Use higher value resistors to  
reduce the gain applied to the beep signal. The resistors  
must be used to pass the beep signal to the stereo inputs.  
The BEEP IN pin is used only to detect the beep signal’s  
magnitude: it does not pass the signal to the output amplifi-  
ers. The LM4841’s shutdown mode must be deactivated  
before a system alert signal is applied to BEEP IN pin.  
MODE FUNCTION  
The LM4841’s MODE function has 2 states controlled by the  
voltage applied to the MODE pin. In Mode 0 (mode pin at  
GND), the HP Sense has no effect on the gain setting (only  
the Gain Select Input Controls either internal or external  
gain). In Mode 1 (mode pin tied high), the HP Sense and  
Gain Select both can toggle between Internal and External  
Gain. See ’Truth Table for Logic Inputs’ on page 5.  
MUTE FUNCTION  
The LM4841 mutes the amplifier and DOCK outputs when  
VDD is applied to the MUTE pin. Even while muted, the  
LM4841 will amplify a system alert (beep) signal whose  
magnitude satisfies the BEEP DETECT circuitry. Applying  
0V to the MUTE pin returns the LM4841 to normal, unmuted  
operation. Prevent unanticipated mute behavior by connect-  
ing the MUTE pin to VDD or ground. Do not let the mute pin  
float.  
MICRO-POWER SHUTDOWN  
The voltage applied to the SHUTDOWN pin controls the  
LM4841’s shutdown function. Activate micro-power shut-  
down by applying ground (logic low) to the SHUTDOWN pin.

CAP-LESS HEADPHONE (SINGLE-ENDED) AMPLIFIER  
OPERATION  
Figures 2 and 6 also show suggested headphone jack elec-  
trical connections. The jack is designed to mate with a  
three−wire plug. The plug’s tip and ring should each carry  
one of the two stereo output signals, whereas the sleeve  
provides the return to Amp A +OUT. A headphone jack with  
one control pin contact is sufficient to drive the HP−IN pin  
when connecting headphones  
An internal pull−up circuit is connected to the HP Sense (Pin  
21 HP-IN) headphone amplifier control pin. When this pin is  
left unconnected, VDD is applied to the HP−IN. This turns off  
Amp B +OUT (not seen in Fig 5, see Fig 2 Pin 15) and  
switches Amp A +OUT’s input signal from an audio signal to  
the VDD/2 voltage present on pin 28 (Amp A + OUT). The  
result is muted bridge-connected loads. Quiescent current  
consumption is reduced when the IC is in this single−ended  
mode.  
A switch can replace the headphone jack contact pin. When  
a switch shorts the HP−IN pin to VDD (An open switch  
contact will accomplish this because there is an internal  
pull-up resistor), the bridge−connected speakers are muted  
and Amp A -OUT and Amp B -OUT drive the stereo head-  
phones. When a switch shorts the HP−IN pin to GND (pulling  
down the internal pull-up resistor), the LM4841 operates in  
bridge mode. If headphone drive is not needed, short the  
HP−IN pin to the −OUTB pin.  
Figure 5 above shows the implementation of the LM4841’s  
headphone control function. An internal comparator with a  
nominal 400mV offset monitors the signal present at the  
−OUT B output. It compares this signal against the signal  
applied to the HP−IN pin (Notice in Figure 5, Pin 21 is  
shorted to Pin 17 without a headphone plugged in). When  
these signals are equal, as in the case when a BTL is  
connected to the amplifier, an internal comparator forces the  
LM4841 to maintain bridged−amplifier operation. When the  
HP−IN pin is externally floated, such as when headphones  
are connected to the jack shown in Figure 5, an internal  
pull−up forces VDD on the internal comparator’s HP−IN in-  
puts. This changes the comparator’s output state and en-  
ables the headphone function: it turns off Amp B +OUT (not  
seen in Fig 5, see Fig 2 Pin 15), switches the Amp A +OUT  
ESD Protection  
As stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, pin 28 on the  
MT/MH packages and pin 25 on the LQ package, have a  
maximum ESD susceptibility rating of 6500V. For higher  
ESD voltages, the addition of a PCDN042 dual transil (from  
California Micro Devices), as shown in Figure 6, will provide  
additional protection.  
20028094  
FIGURE 6. The PCDN042 provides additional ESD protection beyond the 6500V shown in the  
Absolute Maximum Ratings for the AMP2A output  
GAIN SELECT FUNCTION (Bass Boost)  
In some cases a designer may want to improve the low  
frequency response of the bridged amplifier or incorporate a  
bass boost feature. This bass boost can be useful in systems  
where speakers are housed in small enclosures. A resistor,  
RBA, and a capacitor, CBA, in parallel, can be placed in series  
with the feedback resistor of the bridged amplifier as seen in  
Figure 7.  
The LM4841 features selectable gain, using either internal or  
external feedback resistors. Either set of feedback resistors  
set the gain of the output amplifiers. The voltage applied to  
the GAIN SELECT pin controls which gain is selected. Ap-  
plying VDD to the GAIN SELECT pin selects the external gain  
mode. Applying 0V to the GAIN SELECT pin selects the  
internally set unity gain.

FIGURE 7. Low Frequency Enhancement ( MT/MH PINOUT )  
The LM4841 volume control consists of 31 steps that are  
individually selected by a variable DC voltage level on the  
volume control pin. The range of the steps, controlled by the  
DC voltage, are from 0dB - 78dB. Each gain step corre-  
sponds to a specific input voltage range, as shown in table 2,  
(on the following page.)  
At low, frequencies CBA is a virtual open circuit and at high  
frequencies, its nearly zero ohm impedance shorts RBA. The  
result is increased bridge-amplifier gain at low frequencies.  
The combination of RBA and CBA form a -6dB corner fre-  
quency at  
To minimize the effect of noise on the volume control pin,  
which can affect the selected gain level, hysteresis has been  
implemented. The amount of hysteresis corresponds to half  
of the step width, as shown in Volume Control Characteriza-  
tion Graph (DS200133-40).  
fC = 1/(2πRBACBA  
)
(9)  
The bridged-amplifier low frequency differential gain is:  
AVD = 2(RGFA + RBA) / RGIA  
For highest accuracy, the voltage shown in the ’recom-  
mended voltage’ column of the table is used to select a  
desired gain. This recommended voltage is exactly halfway  
between the two nearest transitions to the next highest or  
next lowest gain levels.  
(10)  
Using the component values shown in Figure 2 (RGFA  
20k, RBA = 20k, and CBA = 0.068µF), a first-order, -6dB  
pole is created at 120Hz. Assuming R = 20k, the low  
frequency differential gain is 4. The input (Cin A and B) capaci-  
tor values must be selected for a low frequency response  
that covers the range of frequencies affected by the desired  
bass-boost operation.  
=
The gain levels are 1dB/step from 0dB to -6dB, 2dB/step  
from -6dB to -36dB, 3dB/step from -36dB to -47dB, 4dB/step  
from -47db to -51dB, 5dB/step from -51dB to -66dB, and  
12dB to the last step at -78dB.

AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER DESIGN  
The last step in this design example is setting the amplifier’s  
−6dB frequency bandwidth. To achieve the desired 0.25dB  
pass band magnitude variation limit, the low frequency re-  
sponse 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

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 Char-  
acteristics section. Another way, using Equation (10), is to  
calculate the peak output voltage necessary to achieve the  
desired output power for a given load impedance. To ac-  
count for the amplifier’s dropout voltage, two additional volt-  
ages, based on the Dropout Voltage vs Supply Voltage in the  
Typical Performance Characteristics curves, must be  
added to the result obtained by Equation (10). The result is  
Equation (11).  
fH = 20kHz x 5 = 100kHz  
(15)  
As mentioned in the Selecting Proper External Compo-  
nents section, Rin A and B and Cin A and B create a highpass  
filter that sets the amplifier’s lower bandpass frequency limit.  
Find the input coupling capacitor’s value using Equation  
(14).

The product of the desired high frequency cutoff (100kHz in  
this example) and the differential gain AVD, determines the  
The Output Power vs Supply Voltage graph for an 8load  
indicates a minimum supply voltage of 4.6V. This is easily  
met by the commonly used 5V supply voltage. The additional  
voltage creates the benefit of headroom, allowing the  
LM4841 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  
of maximum power dissipation as explained above in the  
Power Dissipation section.

=
100kHz, the closed-loop gain bandwidth product (GBWP) is  
300kHz. This is less than the LM4841’s 3.5MHz GBWP. With  
this margin, the amplifier can be used in designs that require  
more differential gain while avoiding performance,restricting  
bandwidth limitations.  
Recommended Printed Circuit  
Board Layout  
Figures 8 through 14 show the recommended PC board  
layout that is optimized for the LM4841 and associated  
external components. This circuit is designed for use with an  
external 5V supply and 8speakers.  
After satisfying the LM4841’s power dissipation require-  
ments, the minimum differential gain needed to achieve 1W  
dissipation in an 8load is found using Equation (12).  
This circuit board is easy to use. Apply 5V and ground to the  
board’s VDD and GND pads, respectively. Connect 8Ω  
speakers between the board’s −OUTA and +OUTA and  
-OUTB and +OUTB pads.  
(13)  
Thus, a minimum overall gain of 2.83 allows the LM4841’s to  
reach full output swing and maintain low noise and THD+N  
performance.
