LM48860 Ground-Referenced, Ultra Low Noise, Fixed Gain Stereo Headphone Amplifier General Description Key Specifications The LM48860 is a ground referenced, fixed-gain audio power amplifier capable of delivering 40mW per channel of continuous average power into a 16 single-ended load with less than 1% THD+N from a 3V power supply. The LM48860 features a new circuit technology that utilizes a charge pump to generate a negative reference voltage. This allows the outputs to be biased about ground, thereby eliminating output-coupling capacitors typically used with normal single-ended loads. Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to provide high quality output power with a minimal amount of external components. The LM48860 does not require output coupling capacitors or bootstrap capacitors, and therefore is ideally suited for mobile phone and other low voltage applications where minimal power consumption is a primary requirement. The LM48860 features a low-power consumption shutdown mode selectable for either channel separately. This is accomplished by driving either the SD_RC (Shutdown Right Channel) or SD_LC (Shutdown Left Channel) (or both) pins with logic low, depending on which channel is desired shutdown. Additionally, the LM48860 features an internal thermal shutdown protection mechanism. The LM48860 contains advanced pop & click circuitry that eliminates noises which would otherwise occur during turn-on and turn-off transitions. The LM48860 has an internal fixed gain of 1.5V/V.

For the application of a 5V power supply, with a 16 load, the maximum ambient temperature possible without violating the maximum junction temperature is approximately 110C 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. 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. 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 4.7F capacitor in parallel with a 0.1F 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. 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 220F) 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. 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 0.01A (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. 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. 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. AMPLIFIER CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION As shown in Figure 2, 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 16 load, 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) / (JA) (1) 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 For the micro SMD package JA = 59.3C/W. TJMAX = 150C 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 www.national.com 12 fi-3dB = 1 / 2RINC (Hz) (2) The value of RIN can be found in the Electrical Characteristics tables. 13 www.national.com LM48860 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, Ri and the input capacitors, C1 and C2, produce a -3dB high-pass filter cutoff frequency that is found using Equation (2).
