LM4811 Dual 105mW Headphone Amplifier with Digital Volume Control and Shutdown Mode
General Description
The LM4811 is a dual audio power amplifier capable of delivering 105mW per channel of continuous average power into a 16 load with 0.1% (THD+N) from a 5V power supply. Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to provide high quality output power with a minimal amount of external components. Since the LM4811 does not require bootstrap capacitors or snubber networks, it is optimally suited for low-power portable systems. The LM4811 features a digital volume control that sets the amplifiers gain from +12dB to 33dB in 16 discrete steps using a twowire interface. The unity-gain stable LM4811 also features an externally controlled, active-high, micropower consumption shutdown mode. It also has an internal thermal shutdown protection mechanism.

Application Information
DIGITAL VOLUME CONTROL The LM4811s gain is controlled by the signals applied to the CLOCK and UP/DN inputs. An external clock is required to drive the CLOCK pin. At each rising edge of the clock signal, the gain will either increase or decrease by a 3dB step depending on the logic voltage level applied to the UP/DN pin. A logic high voltage level applied to the UP/DN pin causes the gain to increase by 3dB at each rising edge of the clock signal. Conversely, a logic low voltage level applied to the UP/DN pin causes the gain to decrease 3dB at each rising edge of the clock signal. For both the CLOCK and UP/DN inputs, the trigger point is 1.4V minimum for a logic high level, and 0.4V maximum for a logic low level. There are 16 discrete gain settings ranging from +12dB maximum to 33dB minimum. Upon device power on, the amplifiers gain is set to a default value of 0dB. However, when coming out of shutdown mode, the LM4811 will revert back to its previous gain setting. The LM4811s CLOCK and UP/DN pins should be debounced in order to avoid unwanted state changes during transitions between VIL and VIH. This will ensure correct operation of the digital volume control. A microcontroller or microprocessor output is recommended to drive the CLOCK and UP/DN pins.
For the MSOP package, JA = 194C/W, and for the LD/YD package, JA = 63C/W. TJMAX = 150C for the LM4811. For a given ambient temperature, TA, of the system surroundings, 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, or TA reduced. For the MSOP package in a typical application of a 5V power supply and a 32 load, the maximum ambient temperature possible without violating the maximum junction temperature is approximately 134.5C. This assumes the device operates at maximum power dissipation and uses surface mount packaging. Internal power dissipation is a function of output power. If typical operation is not around the maximum power dissipation point, operation at higher ambient temperatures is possible. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics curves for power dissipation information for lower output power levels. EXPOSED-DAP PACKAGE PCB MOUNTING CONSIDERATION The LM4811s exposed-dap (die attach paddle) package (LD/YD) provides 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 surrounding air. The LD/YD package should have its DAP soldered to a copper pad on the PCB. The DAPs PCB copper pad may be connected to a large plane of continuous unbroken copper. This plane forms a thermal mass, heat sink, and radiation area. However, since the LM4811 is designed for headphone applications, connecting a copper plane to the DAPs PCB copper pad is not required. The LM4811s Power Dissipation vs Output Power Curve in the Typical Performance Characteristics shows that the maximum power dissipated is just 45mW per amplifier with a 5V power supply and a 32 load. Further detailed and specific information concerning PCB layout, fabrication, and mounting an LD/YD (LLP) package is available from National Semiconductors Package Engineering Group under application note AN1187. POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING As with any power 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. The value of the bypass capacitor directly affects the LM4811s half-supply voltage stability and PSRR. The stability and supply rejection increase as the bypass capacitors value increases. Typical applications employ a 5V regulator with 10F and a 0.1F bypass capacitors which aid in supply stability, but do not eliminate the need for bypassing the supply nodes of the LM4811. The selection of bypass capacitors, especially CB, is thus dependent upon desired low frequency PSRR, click and pop performance, (explained in the section, Proper Selection of External Components), system cost, and size constraints. SHUTDOWN FUNCTION In order to reduce power consumption while not is use, the LM4811 features amplifier bias circuitry shutdown. This shutdown function is activated by applying a logic high to the SHUTDOWN pin. The trigger point is 1.4V minimum for a

FIGURE 2. Timing Diagram POWER DISSIPATION Power dissipation is a major concern when using any power amplifier and must be thoroughly understood to ensure a successful design.

Since the LM4811 has two operational amplifiers in one package, the maximum internal power dissipation point is twice that of the number which results from Equation 1. Even with the large internal power dissipation, the LM4811 does not require heat sinking over a large range of ambient temperature. From Equation 1, assuming a 5V power supply and a 32 load, the maximum power dissipation point is 40mW per amplifier. Thus the maximum package dissipation point is 80mW. The maximum power dissipation point obtained must not be greater than the power dissipation predicted by Equation 2: PDMAX = (TJMAX TA) / JA (2)

logic high level, and 0.4V maximum for a logic low level. It is best to switch between ground and VDD to ensure optimal shutdown operation. By switching the SHUTDOWN pin to VDD, the LM4811 supply current draw will be minimized in idle mode. Whereas the device will be disabled with shutdown voltages less than VDD, the idle current may be greater than the typical value of 0.3A. In either case, the SHUTDOWN pin should be tied to a fixed voltage to avoid unwanted state changes. In many applications, a microcontroller or microprocessor output is used to control the shutdown circuitry. This provides a quick, smooth shutdown transition. 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, the external pull-up resistor, RPU, will disable the LM4811. This scheme guarantees that the SHUTDOWN pin will not float, thus preventing unwanted state changes. PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS Selection of external components when using integrated power amplifiers is critical for optimum device and system performance. While the LM4811 is tolerant of external component combinations, consideration must be given to the external component values that maximize overall system quality. The LM4811s unity-gain stability allows a designer to maximize system performance. Low gain settings maximize signal-to-noise performance and minimizes THD+N. 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. Selection of Input and Output Capacitor Size Besides gain, one of the major considerations is the closed loop bandwidth of the amplifier. To a large extent, the bandwidth is dicated by the choice of external components shown in Figure 1. Both the input coupling capacitor, Ci, and the output coupling capacitor, Co, form first order high pass filters which limit low frequency response. These values should be based on the desired frequency response weighed against the following: Large value input and output capacitors are both expensive and space consuming 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 150Hz. Thus large input and output capacitors may not increase system performance. In addition to system cost and size, click and pop performance is affected 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. Turn on pops can be minimized by reducing Ci value based on necessary low frequency response. Besides minimizing the input and output capacitor values, 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 LM4811 turns on. The slower the LM4811s outputs ramp to their quiescent DC voltage (nominally 1/2 VDD), the smaller the turn on pop. While the device will function properly, (no oscillations or motorboating), with CB equal to 1F, the device will be much more susceptible to turn on clicks and pops. Thus, a value of CB equal to 1F or larger is recommended in all but the most cost sensitive designs. Also, careful consideration must be taken in selecting a certain type of capacitor to be used in the system. Different types of capacitors (tantalum, electrolytic, ceramic) have unique performance characteristics and may affect overall system performance.

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 dropout voltage. For a single-ended application, the minimum supply voltage can be approximated by (2VOPEAK + (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 a 32 load, the minimum supply rail is 4.8V. Since 5V is a standard supply voltage in most applications, it is chosen for the supply rail. Extra supply voltage creates headroom that allows the LM4811 to reproduce peaks in excess of 70mW without clipping the signal. 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. Remember that the maximum power dissipation point from Equation 1 must be multiplied by two since there are two independent amplifiers inside the package. The final design step is to address the bandwidth requirements which must be stated as a pair of 3dB frequency points. Five times away from a 3dB point is 0.17dB down from passband response assuming a single pole roll-off. As stated in the External Components section, Ci and Co create first order highpass filters. Thus to obtain the desired frequency low response of 100Hz within 0.5dB, both poles must be taken into consideration. The combination of two single order filters at the same frequency forms a second order response. This results in a signal which is down 0.34dB at five times away from the single order filter 3dB

(Continued) The high frequency pole is determined by the product of the desired high frequency pole, fH, and the closed-loop gain, AV. With a closed-loop gain of 3.98 or +12dB and fH = 100kHz, the resulting GBWP = 398kHz which is much smaller than the LM4811 GBWP of 1MHz. This figure displays that at the maximum gain setting of 3.98 or +12dB, the LM4811 can be used without running into bandwidth limitations.
point. Thus, a frequency of 20Hz is used in the following equations to ensure that the response is better than 0.5dB down at 100Hz. Ci 1 / (2 * 33 k * 20 Hz) = 0.241F; use 0.39F. (4) Co 1 / (2 * 32 * 20 Hz) = 249F; use 330F. (5)
