APPLICATION INFORMATION
SUPPLY VOLTAGE SEQUENCING
It is a good general practice to first apply the supply voltage to a CMOS device before any other signal or supply
on other pins. This is also true for the LM48860 audio amplifier which is a CMOS device.
Before applying any signal to the inputs or shutdown pins of the LM48860, it is important to apply a supply
voltage to the VDD pins. After the device has been powered, signals may be applied to the shutdown pins (see
MICRO POWER SHUTDOWN) and input pins.
ELIMINATING THE OUTPUT COUPLING CAPACITOR
The LM48860 features a low noise inverting charge pump that generates an internal negative supply voltage.
This allows the outputs of the LM48860 to be biased about GND instead of a nominal DC voltage, like traditional
headphone amplifiers. Because there is no DC component, the large DC blocking capacitors (typically 220µF)
are not necessary. The coupling capacitors are replaced by two, small ceramic charge pump capacitors, saving
board space and cost.
Eliminating the output coupling capacitors also improves low frequency response. In traditional headphone
amplifiers, the headphone impedance and the output capacitor form a high pass filter that not only blocks the DC
component of the output, but also attenuates low frequencies, impacting the bass response. Because the
LM48860 does not require the output coupling capacitors, the low frequency response of the device is not
degraded by external components.
In addition to eliminating the output coupling capacitors, the ground referenced output nearly doubles the
available dynamic range of the LM48860 when compared to a traditional headphone amplifier operating from the
same supply voltage.
OUTPUT TRANSIENT ('CLICK AND POPS') ELIMINATED
The LM48860 contains advanced circuitry that virtually eliminates output transients ('clicks and pops'). This
circuitry prevents all traces of transients when the supply voltage is first applied or when the part resumes
operation after coming out of shutdown mode.
AMPLIFIER CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION
As shown in Figure 1, the LM48860 has two internal operational amplifiers. The two amplifiers have internally
configured gain.
Since this is an output ground-referenced amplifier, the LM48860 does not require output coupling capacitors.
POWER DISSIPATION
From the graph (THD+N vs Output Power , VDD = 3V, RL= 16, f = 1kHz, 22kH BW, two channels in phase,
page 6) assuming a 3V power supply and a 16load, the maximum power dissipation point and thus the
maximum package dissipation point is 281mW. The maximum power dissipation point obtained must not be
greater than the power dissipation that results from Equation 1.
PDMAX = (TJMAX - TA) / (θJA) (1)
For the DSBGA package θJA = 59.3°C/W. TJMAX = 150°C for the LM48860. Depending on the ambient
temperature, TA, of the system surroundings, Equation 1 can be used to find the maximum internal power
dissipation supported by the IC packaging. If the maximum power dissipation from the graph is greater than that
of Equation 1, then either the supply voltage must be decreased, the load impedance increased or TAreduced
(see power derating curves). For the application of a 5V power supply, with a 16load, the maximum ambient
temperature possible without violating the maximum junction temperature is approximately 110°C provided that
device operation is around the maximum power dissipation point. Power dissipation is a function of output power
and thus, if typical operation is not around the maximum power dissipation point, the ambient temperature may
be increased accordingly.

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 3V power supply typically use a 4.7µF capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF
ceramic filter capacitor to stabilize the power supply's output, reduce noise on the supply line, and improve the
supply's transient response. Keep the length of leads and traces that connect capacitors between the LM48860's
power supply pin and ground as short as possible.
MICRO POWER SHUTDOWN
The voltage applied to the SD_LC (shutdown left channel) pin and the SD_RC (shutdown right channel) pin
controls the LM48860’s shutdown function. When active, the LM48860’s micropower shutdown feature turns off
the amplifiers’ bias circuitry, reducing the supply current. The trigger point is 0.45V for a logic-low level, and 1.2V
for logic-high level. The low 0.01µA (typ) shutdown current is achieved by applying a voltage that is as near as
ground a possible to the SD_LC/SD_RC pins. A voltage that is higher than ground may increase the shutdown
current. Do not let SD_LC/SD_RC float, connect either to high or low.
SELECTING PROPER EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Optimizing the LM48860's performance requires properly selecting external components. Though the LM48860
operates well when using external components with wide tolerances, best performance is achieved by optimizing
component values.
Charge Pump Capacitor Selection
Use low ESR (equivalent series resistance) (<100m) ceramic capacitors with an X7R dielectric for best
performance. Low ESR capacitors keep the charge pump output impedance to a minimum, extending the
headroom on the negative supply. Higher ESR capacitors result in reduced output power from the audio
amplifiers.
Charge pump load regulation and output impedance are affected by the value of the flying capacitor (C4). A
larger valued C4 (up to 3.3uF) improves load regulation and minimizes charge pump output resistance. Beyond
3.3uF, the switch-on resistance dominates the output impedance.
The output ripple is affected by the value and ESR of the output capacitor (C3). Larger capacitors reduce output
ripple on the negative power supply. Lower ESR capacitors minimize the output ripple and reduce the output
impedance of the charge pump.
The LM48860 charge pump design is optimized for 2.2uF, low ESR, ceramic, flying and output capacitors.
Input Capacitor Value Selection
Amplifying the lowest audio frequencies requires high value input coupling capacitors (C1 and C2 in Figure 1). A
high value capacitor 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. Applications using speakers with this limited frequency response reap little
improvement by using high value input and output capacitors.
As shown in Figure 1, the internal input resistor, Riand the input capacitors, C1 and C2, produce a -3dB high-
pass filter cutoff frequency that is found using Equation 2.
fi-3dB = 1 / 2πRINC (Hz) (2)
The value of RIN can be found in the Electrical Characteristics tables.
