LM4875
750 mW Audio Power Amplifier with DC Volume Control
and Headphone Switch
General Description
The LM4875 is a mono bridged audio power amplifier with
DC voltage volume control. The LM4875 is capable of deliv-
ering 750mW of continuous average power into an 8load
with less than 1% THD when powered by a 5V power supply.
Switching between bridged speaker mode and headphone
(single ended) mode is accomplished using the headphone
sense pin. To conserve power in portable applications, the
LM4875’s micropower shutdown mode (I
Q
= 0.7µA, typ) is
activated when less than 300mV is applied to the DC Vol/SD
pin.
Boomer audio power amplifiers are designed specifically to
provide high power audio output while maintaining high fidel-
ity. They require few external components and operate on
low supply voltages.

Application Information
BRIDGE CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION
As shown in Figure 1, the LM4875 consists of two opera-
tional amplifiers internally. An external DC voltage sets the
closed-loop gain of the first amplifier, whereas two internal
20kresistors set the second amplifier’s gain at -1. The
LM4875 can be used to drive a speaker connected between
the two amplifier outputs or a monaural headphone con-
nected between V
O
1 and GND.
Figure 1 shows that the output of Amp1 serves as the input
to Amp2. This results in both amplifiers producing signals
that are identical in magnitude, but 180˚ out of phase.
Taking advantage of this phase difference, a load placed
between V
O
1 and V
O
2 is driven differentially (commonly
referred to as “bridge mode“ ). This mode is different from
single-ended driven loads that are connected between a
single amplifier’s output and ground.
Bridge mode has a distinct advantage over the single-ended
configuration: its differential drive to the load doubles the
output swing for a specified supply voltage. This results in
four times the output power when compared to a single-
ended amplifier under the same conditions. This increase in
attainable output assumes that the amplifier is not current
limited or the output signal is not clipped. To ensure mini-
mum output signal clipping when choosing an amplifier’s
closed-loop gain, refer to the Audio Power Amplifier De-
sign section.
Another advantage of the differential bridge output is no net
DC voltage across load. This results from biasing V
O
1 and
V
O
2 at half-supply. This eliminates the coupling capacitor
that single supply, single-ended amplifiers require. Eliminat-
ing an output coupling capacitor in a single-ended configu-
ration forces a single supply amplifier’s half-supply bias volt-
age across the load. The current flow created by the half-
supply bias voltage increases internal IC power dissipation
and may permanently damage loads such as speakers.
POWER DISSIPATION
Power dissipation is a major concern when designing a
successful bridged or single-ended amplifier. Equation (1)
states the maximum power dissipation point for a single-
ended amplifier operating at a given supply voltage and
driving a specified output load.

However, a direct consequence of the increased power de-

of a single-ended amplifier. However, even with this substan-
tial increase in power dissipation, the LM4875 does not
require heatsinking. From Equation (2), assuming a 5V
power supply and an 8load, the maximum power dissipa-
tion point is 633 mW. The maximum power dissipation point
obtained from Equation (2) must not be greater than the
power dissipation that results from Equation (3):

= 150˚C for the LM4875. For a
given ambient temperature T
A
, Equation (3) can be used to
find the maximum internal power dissipation supported by
the IC packaging. If the result of Equation (2) is greater than
that of Equation (3), then either decrease the supply voltage,
increase the load impedance, or reduce the ambient tem-
perature. For a typical application using the SO packaged
LM4875, a 5V power supply, and an 8load, the maximum
ambient temperature that does not violate the maximum
junction temperature is approximately 55˚C. The maximum
ambient temperature for the MSOP package with the same
conditions is approximately 30˚C. These results further as-
sume 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 decreases. Refer
to the Typical Performance Characteristics curves for
power dissipation information at lower output power levels.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
As with any power amplifier, proper supply bypassing is
critical for low noise performance and high power supply
rejection. The capacitors connected to the bypass and power
supply pins should be placed as close to the LM4875 as
possible. The capacitor connected between the bypass pin
and ground improves the internal bias voltage’s stability,
producing improved PSRR. The improvements to PSRR
increase as the bypass pin capacitor value increases. Typi-
cal applications employ a 5V regulator with 10µF and a
0.1µF filter capacitors that aid in supply stability. Their pres-
ence, however does not eliminate the need for bypassing the
supply nodes of the LM4875. The selection of bypass ca-
pacitor values, especially C
B
, depends on desired PSRR
requirements, click and pop performance (as explained in
the section, Proper Selection of External Components),
system cost, and size constraints.
DC VOLTAGE VOLUME CONTROL
The LM4875’s internal volume control is controlled by the DC
voltage applied its DC Vol/SD pin (pin 4). The volume con-
trol’s input range is from GND to V
DD
. A graph showing a
typical volume response versus input control voltage is
shown in the Typical Performance Characteristicssection.
The DC Vol/SD pin also functions as the control pin for the
LM4875’s micropower shutdown feature. See the Mute and
Shutdown Function section for more information.
Like all volume controls, the Lm4875’s internal volume con-
trol is set while listening to an amplified signal that is applied
to an external speaker. The actual voltage applied to the DC
Vol/SD pin is a result of the volume a listener desires. As
such, the volume control is designed for use in a feedback
system that includes human ears and preferences. This
feedback system operates quite well without the need for
accurate gain. The user simply sets the volume to the de-
sired level as determined by their ear, without regard to the
actual DC voltage that produces the volume. Therefore, the
accuracy of the volume control is not critical, as long as
volume changes monotonically and step size is small
enough to reach a desired volume that is not too loud or too
soft. Since gain accuracy is not critical, there may be a
volume variation from part-to-part even with the same ap-
plied DC control voltage. The gain of a given LM4875 can be
set with a fixed external voltage, but another LM4875 may
require a different control voltage to achieve the same gain.
Figure 2 is a curve showing the volume variation of seven
typical LM4875s as the voltage applied to the DC Vol/SD pin
is varied. For gains between -20dB and +16dB, the typical
part-to-part variation is typically ±1dB for a given control
voltage.
MUTE AND SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
The LM4875’s mute and shutdown functions are controlled
through the DC Vol/SD pin. Mute is activated by applying a
voltage in the range of 500mV to 1V. A typical attenuation of
75dB is achieved is while mute is active. The LM4875’s
micropower shutdown mode turns off the amplifier’s bias
circuitry. The micropower shutdown mode is activated by
applying less than 300mV
DC
to the DC Vol/SD pin. When
shutdown is active, they supply current is reduced to 0.7µA
(typ). A degree of uncertainty exists when the voltage applied
to the DC Vol/SD pin is in the range of 300mV to 500mV. The
LM4875 can be in mute, still fully powered, or in micropower
shutdown and fully muted. In mute mode, the LM4875 draws
the typical quiescent supply current. The DC Vol/SD pin
should be tied to GND for best shutdown mode performance.
As the DC Vol/SD is increased above 0.5V the amplifier will
follow the attenuation curve in Typical Performance Char-
acteristics.
HP-Sense FUNCTION
Applying a voltage between 4V and V
CC
to the LM4875’s
HP-Sense headphone control pin turns off Amp2 and mutes
a bridged-connected load. Quiescent current consumption is
reduced when the IC is in this single-ended mode.
Figure 3 shows the implementation of the LM4875’s head-
phone control function. With no headphones connected to
the headphone jack, the R1-R2 voltage divider sets the
voltage applied to the HP-Sense pin (pin 3) at approximately
50mV. This 50mV enables the LM4875 and places it in
bridged mode operation.
10104248
FIGURE 2. Typical part-to-part gain variation as a
function of DC-Vol control voltage

Application Information (Continued)
While the LM4875 operates in bridged mode, the DC poten-
tial across the load is essentially 0V. Since the HP-Sense
threshold is set at 4V, even in an ideal situation, the output
swing cannot cause a false single-ended trigger. Connecting
headphones to the headphone jack disconnects the head-
phone jack contact pin from V
O
1 and allows R1 to pull the
HP Sense pin up to V
CC
. This enables the headphone func-
tion, turns off Amp2, and mutes the bridged speaker. The
amplifier then drives the headphones, whose impedance is
in parallel with resistor R2. Resistor R2 has negligible effect
on output drive capability since the typical impedance of
headphones is 32. The output coupling capacitor blocks
the amplifier’s half supply DC voltage, protecting the head-
phones.
A microprocessor or a switch can replace the headphone
jack contact pin. When a microprocessor or switch applies a
voltage greater than 4V to the HP Sense pin, a bridge-
connected speaker is muted and Amp1 drives the head-
phones.
SELECTING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Optimizing the LM4875’s performance requires properly se-
lecting external components. Though the LM4875 operates
well when using external components having wide toler-
ances, the best performance is achieved by optimizing com-
ponent values.
Input Capacitor Value Selection
Amplification of the lowest audio frequencies requires high
value input coupling capacitors. These high value capacitors
can be expensive and may compromise space efficiency in
portable designs. In many cases, however, the speakers
used in portable systems, whether internal or external, have
little ability to reproduce signals below 150Hz. In application
5 using speakers with this limited frequency response, a
large input capacitor will offer little improvement in system
performance.
Figure 1 shows that the nominal input impedance (R
IN
)is
10kat maximum volume and 110kat minimum volume.
Together, the input capacitor, C
i
, and R
IN
, produce a -3dB
high pass filter cutoff frequency that is found using Equation
(4).
(4)
As the volume changes from minimum to maximum, R
IN
decrease from 110kto 10k. Equation (4) reveals that the
-3dB frequency will increase as the volume increases. The
nominal value of C
i
for lowest desired frequency response
should be calculated with R
IN
= 10k. As an example when
using a speaker with a low frequency limit of 150Hz, C
i
,
using Equation (4) is 0.1µF. The 0.22µF C
i
shown in Figure 1
is optimized for a speaker whose response extends down to
75Hz.
Bypass Capacitor Value Selection
Besides minimizing the input capacitor size, careful consid-
eration should be paid to value of the bypass capacitor C
B
.
Since C
B
determines how fast the LM4875 turns on, its value
is the most critical when minimizing turn-on pops. The slower
the LM4875’s outputs ramp to their quiescent DC voltage
(nominally V
DD
/2), the smaller the turn-on pop. Choosing C
B
equal to 1.0µF, along with a small value of C
i
(in the range of
0.1µF to 0.39µF), produces a clickless and popless shut-
down function. Choosing C
i
as small as possible helps mini-
mize clicks and pops.
CLICK AND POP CIRCUITRY
The LM4875 contains circuitry that minimizes turn-on and
shutdown transients or "clicks and pops". For this discus-
sion, turn-on refers to either applying the power supply volt-
age or when the shutdown mode is deactivated. While the
power supply is ramping to its final value, the LM4875’s
internal amplifiers are configured as unity gain buffers. An
internal current source changes the voltage of 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 V
DD
. As soon as the voltage on
the bypass pin is stable, the device becomes fully opera-
tional and the gain is set by the external voltage applied to
the DC Vol/SD pin.
Although the bypass pin current cannot be modified, chang-
ing the size of C
B
alters the device’s turn-on time and the
magnitude of "clicks and pops". Increasing the value of C
B
reduces the magnitude of turn-on pops. However, this pre-
sents a tradeoff: as the size of C
B
increases, the turn-on time
increases. There is a linear relationship between the size of
CB and the turn-on time. Shown below are some typical
turn-on times for various values of C
B
:
C
B
T
ON
0.01µF 3ms
0.1µF 30ms
0.22µF 65ms
0.47µF 135ms
1.0µF 280ms
In order eliminate "clicks and pops", all capacitors must be
discharged before turn-on. Rapidly switching V
DD
may not
allow the capacitors to fully discharge, which may cause
"clicks and pops". In a single-ended configuration, the output
coupling capacitor, C
OUT
, is of particular concern. This ca-
pacitor discharges through an internal 20kresistor. De-
pending on the size of C
OUT
, the time constant can be
relatively large. To reduce transients in single-ended mode,
10104234

an external 1k-5kresistor can be placed in parallel with
the internal 20kresistor. The tradeoff for using this resistor
is increased quiescent current.
RECOMMENDED PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD LAYOUT
Figure 4 through Figure 6 show the recommended two-layer
PC board layout that is optimized for the SO-8 packaged
LM4875 and associated external components. Figure 7
through Figure 9 show the recommended two-layer PC
board layout for the MSOP packaged LM4875. Both layouts
are designed for use with an external 5V supply, 8speak-
ers, and 8-32headphones. The schematic for both
recommended PC board layouts is Figure 1.
Both circuit boards are easy to use. Apply a 5V supply
voltage and ground to the board’s V
DD
and GND pads,
respectively. Connect a speaker with an 8minimum imped-
ance between the board’s -OUT and +OUT pads. For head-
phone use, the layout has provisions for a headphone jack,
J1. When a jack is connected as shown, inserting a head-
phone plug automatically switches off the external speaker.
