OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Figure 1 is block diagram of NJM2792. A right channel and a left channel of figure are the same compositions.
Only the reference voltage terminal and the power-supply voltage terminal are common between channels. One
channel is composed of two signal amplifiers, one lift amplifier, the reference voltage, and the bias.
The signal amplifier is non-reverting amplifier which gain(+8dB) is set by external resistances. However, to
achieve the function of the boost, the output bias point is set near V
+
[=V
+
-1.4]. And, the power-supply voltage of
the signal amplifier is supplied from the lift amplifier output.
The lift amplifier lifts the power-supply voltage of the signal amplifier more than V
+
by the charge pump
mechanism. However, unlike a charge pump, the lift amplifier lifts up voltage only when an input signal swings
above center. The output bias point of the lift amplifier is set near GND[=(V
+
-1.4)*0.09]. When the input signal
swings below center, the power supply of the signal amplifier is supplied from V
+
through the diode.
Figure 2 shows the signal operation and the voltage. V
+
/CIN/OUT/COUT shows terminal voltage. The
NJM2792 can output more than the power-supply voltage when power-supply voltage of the signal amplifier (CIN)
is more than the output voltage.
The NJM2792 does not have standby function and mute function. The stability operation is after the capacitor
of the reference voltage terminal is charged at power supply on.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
1. External parts
1.1 Bypass capacitor for power supply
Bypass capacitor (C1) for the power supply should use the capacitor of wide temperature range and
high-frequency characteristic. Connect the capacitor near the IC for low interconnection resistance.
1.2 Feedback resister
Set the gain to 8dB with feedback resister R1 and R2 of each channel. The use of high-value resisters
causes increase of the output noise voltage. However, R1+R2 cannot use low-value resisters because of the
load resistance of the signal amplifier. The resistances of the example of application circuit are the recommend
value.
1.3 Input coupling capacitor
The low frequency of the input signal is cut with the high-pass filter that composes of input coupling capacitor
and input impedance (about 60k). The cut-off frequency at capacitor value (10uF) of application circuit is
about 0.3Hz.
1.4 Output coupling capacitor
The low frequency of the output signal is cut with the high-pass filter that composes of output coupling
capacitor (Co) and load resistance. The cut-off frequency lowers when the large capacitor value (Co). When the
load resistance is 10k, the cut-off frequency of application circuit is about 0.8Hz.
1.5 Bypass capacitor for reference voltage
The bypass capacitor (C
REF
) for the reference voltage influences the turn-on time and SVR. When C
REF
is
large, SVR is improved, but turn on time becomes long.
1.6 Boost capacitor
When the boost capacitor (C
Lift
) is large, the distortion of the low frequency decreases.
1.7 Bypass capacitor for CIN terminal
Bypass capacitor (C2/C3) of the CIN terminal absorbs fluctuation of the CIN terminal. The capacitances of
the example of application circuit are the recommend value.
2. Load resistance
The NJM2792 is a line amplifier of class-A output. Connect the load resistance 10k or more.
3. Amplifier gain
The amplifier gain of NJM2792 is decided in the ratio of external resistance R1 and R2. The output bias point
of the signal amplifier changes when the gain is changed. The gain setting of +8dB is the recommend value.
4. Low frequency characteristic
The NJM2792 lifts the power-supply voltage of the signal amplifier by the lift amplifier. The electric power from
the power supply is decided depending on external capacity (C
lift
). Therefore, the distortion of low frequency
increases when the electric power is insufficient. Connect capacitor (C
lift
) of a large capacity value for the
distortion decrease of a low frequency.
NJM2792
– 9 –
5. High frequency characteristic
The high frequency characteristic of NJM2792 can output 4.5Vrms(typ.) at 100kHz. However, note a capacitive
load that increases at the high frequency. Set the total load impedance (load capacitance + load resistance) to
10k or more if the flat high-frequency characteristic is necessary.
6. Signal phase to the front/rear channel
Input the in-phase signal to front/ rear channel of NJM2792. The reverse-phase signal input attenuates output
signal amplitude. Input the signal different in only the signal level to front/rear channel.

7. Turn on time
The NJM2792 application circuit connects the capacitance of 47uF with the reference voltage terminal. The
signal amplitude is insufficient after turning on of the power supply by capacitor charge. The turn-on time is long
at a large capacity value, and shortens at a small capacity value. Note the SVR characteristic when connecting
small capacity value.

2-CHANNEL ONLY APPLICATION CIRCUIT
Use combination of front-left and front-right or rear-left and rear-right.
The reverse-phase signal input attenuates output signal amplitude. Input the signal different in only the signal
level to front/rear channel.
The application note doesn't guarantee the characteristic.
Give due consideration to characteristic variation of external parts and IC.
