LM4673

Filterless, 2.65W, Mono, Class D Audio Power Amplifier

General Description

The LM4673 is a single supply, high efficiency, 2.65W, mono,

Class D audio amplifier. A low noise, filterless PWM architec-

ture eliminates the output filter, reducing external component

count, board area consumption, system cost, and simplifying

design.

The LM4673 is designed to meet the demands of mobile

phones and other portable communication devices. Operat-

ing on a single 5V supply, it is capable of driving a 4Ω speaker

load at a continuous average output of 2.1W with less than

1% THD+N. Its flexible power supply requirements allow op-

eration from 2.4V to 5.5V.

The LM4673 has high efficiency with speaker loads compared

to a typical Class AB amplifier. With a 3.6V supply driving an

8Ω speaker, the IC's efficiency for a 100mW power level is

80%, reaching 88% at 400mW output power.

The LM4673 features a low-power consumption shutdown

mode. Shutdown may be enabled by driving the Shutdown

pin to a logic low (GND).

The gain of the LM4673 is externally configurable which al-

lows independent gain control from multiple sources by sum-

ming the signals. Output short circuit and thermal overload

protection prevent the device from damage during fault con-

ditions.

LM4673

Application Information

GENERAL AMPLIFIER FUNCTION

The LM4673 features a filterless modulation scheme. The

differential outputs of the device switch at 300kHz from VDD

to GND. When there is no input signal applied, the two outputs

(VO1 and VO2) switch with a 50% duty cycle, with both outputs

in phase. Because the outputs of the LM4673 are differential,

the two signals cancel each other. This results in no net volt-

age across the speaker, thus there is no load current during

an idle state, conserving power.

With an input signal applied, the duty cycle (pulse width) of

the LM4673 outputs changes. For increasing output voltages,

the duty cycle of VO1 increases, while the duty cycle of VO2

decreases. For decreasing output voltages, the converse oc-

curs, the duty cycle of VO2 increases while the duty cycle of

VO1 decreases. The difference between the two pulse widths

yields the differential output voltage.

POWER DISSIPATION AND EFFICIENCY

In general terms, efficiency is considered to be the ratio of

useful work output divided by the total energy required to pro-

duce it with the difference being the power dissipated, typi-

cally, in the IC. The key here is “useful” work. For audio

systems, the energy delivered in the audible bands is con-

sidered useful including the distortion products of the input

signal. Sub-sonic (DC) and super-sonic components

(>22kHz) are not useful. The difference between the power

flowing from the power supply and the audio band power be-

ing transduced is dissipated in the LM4673 and in the trans-

ducer load. The amount of power dissipation in the LM4673

is very low. This is because the ON resistance of the switches

used to form the output waveforms is typically less than

0.25Ω. This leaves only the transducer load as a potential

"sink" for the small excess of input power over audio band

output power. The LM4673 dissipates only a fraction of the

excess power requiring no additional PCB area or copper

plane to act as a heat sink.

DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER EXPLANATION

As logic supply voltages continue to shrink, designers are in-

creasingly turning to differential analog signal handling to

preserve signal to noise ratios with restricted voltage swing.

The LM4673 is a fully differential amplifier that features dif-

ferential input and output stages. A differential amplifier am-

plifies the difference between the two input signals. Tradition-

al audio power amplifiers have typically offered only single-

ended inputs resulting in a 6dB reduction in signal to noise

ratio relative to differential inputs. The LM4673 also offers the

possibility of DC input coupling which eliminates the two ex-

ternal AC coupling, DC blocking capacitors. The LM4673 can

be used, however, as a single ended input amplifier while still

retaining it's fully differential benefits. In fact, completely un-

related signals may be placed on the input pins. The LM4673

simply amplifies the difference between the signals. A major

benefit of a differential amplifier is the improved common

mode rejection ratio (CMRR) over single input amplifiers. The

common-mode rejection characteristic of the differential am-

plifier reduces sensitivity to ground offset related noise injec-

tion, especially important in high noise applications.

PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS

As output power increases, interconnect resistance (PCB

traces and wires) between the amplifier, load and power sup-

ply create a voltage drop. The voltage loss on the traces

between the LM4673 and the load results is lower output

power and decreased efficiency. Higher trace resistance be-

tween the supply and the LM4673 has the same effect as a

poorly regulated supply, increased ripple on the supply line

also reducing the peak output power. The effects of residual

trace resistance increases as output current increases due to

higher output power, decreased load impedance or both. To

maintain the highest output voltage swing and corresponding

peak output power, the PCB traces that connect the output

pins to the load and the supply pins to the power supply

should be as wide as possible to minimize trace resistance.

The use of power and ground planes will give the best THD

+N performance. While reducing trace resistance, the use of

power planes also creates parasite capacitors that help to fil-

ter the power supply line.

The inductive nature of the transducer load can also result in

overshoot on one or both edges, clamped by the parasitic

diodes to GND and VDD in each case. From an EMI stand-

point, this is an aggressive waveform that can radiate or

conduct to other components in the system and cause inter-

ference. It is essential to keep the power and output traces

short and well shielded if possible. Use of ground planes,

beads, and micro-strip layout techniques are all useful in pre-

venting unwanted interference.

As the distance from the LM4673 and the speaker increase,

the amount of EMI radiation will increase since the output

wires or traces acting as antenna become more efficient with

length. What is acceptable EMI is highly application specific.

Ferrite chip inductors placed close to the LM4673 may be

needed to reduce EMI radiation. The value of the ferrite chip

is very application specific.

POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING

As with any power amplifier, proper supply bypassing is crit-

ical for low noise performance and high power supply rejec-

tion ratio (PSRR). The capacitor (CS) location should be as

close as possible to the LM4673. Typical applications employ

a voltage regulator with a 10µF and a 0.1µF bypass capacitors

that increase supply stability. These capacitors do not elimi-

nate the need for bypassing on the supply pin of the LM4673.

A 4.7µF tantalum capacitor is recommended.

SHUTDOWN FUNCTION

In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, the

LM4673 contains shutdown circuitry that reduces current

draw to less than 0.01µA. The trigger point for shutdown is

shown as a typical value in the Electrical Characteristics Ta-

bles and in the Shutdown Hysteresis Voltage graphs found in

the Typical Performance Characteristics section. It is best

to switch between ground and supply for minimum current

usage while in the shutdown state. While the LM4673 may be

disabled with shutdown voltages in between ground and sup-

ply, the idle current will be greater than the typical 0.01µA

value.

The LM4673 has an internal resistor connected between

GND and Shutdown pins. The purpose of this resistor is to

eliminate any unwanted state changes when the Shutdown

pin is floating. The LM4673 will enter the shutdown state when

the Shutdown pin is left floating or if not floating, when the

shutdown voltage has crossed the threshold. To minimize the

supply current while in the shutdown state, the Shutdown pin

should be driven to GND or left floating. If the Shutdown pin

is not driven to GND, the amount of additional resistor current

11 www.national.com

LM4673

due to the internal shutdown resistor can be found by Equa-

tion (1) below.

(VSD - GND) / 300kΩ(1)

With only a 0.5V difference, an additional 1.7µA of current will

be drawn while in the shutdown state.

PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS

The gain of the LM4673 is set by the external resistors, Ri in

Figure 1, The Gain is given by Equation (2) below. Best THD

+N performance is achieved with a gain of 2V/V (6dB).

AV = 2 * 150 kΩ / Ri (V/V) (2)

It is recommended that resistors with 1% tolerance or better

be used to set the gain of the LM4673. The Ri resistors should

be placed close to the input pins of the LM4673. Keeping the

input traces close to each other and of the same length in a

high noise environment will aid in noise rejection due to the

good CMRR of the LM4673. Noise coupled onto input traces

which are physically close to each other will be common mode

and easily rejected by the LM4673.

Input capacitors may be needed for some applications or

when the source is single-ended (see Figures 3, 5). Input ca-

pacitors are needed to block any DC voltage at the source so

that the DC voltage seen between the input terminals of the

LM4673 is 0V. Input capacitors create a high-pass filter with

the input resistors, Ri. The –3dB point of the high-pass filter

is found using Equation (3) below.

fC = 1 / (2πRi Ci ) (Hz) (3)

The input capacitors may also be used to remove low audio

frequencies. Small speakers cannot reproduce low bass fre-

quencies so filtering may be desired . When the LM4673 is

using a single-ended source, power supply noise on the

ground is seen as an input signal by the +IN input pin that is

capacitor coupled to ground (See Figures 5 – 7). Setting the

high-pass filter point above the power supply noise frequen-

cies, 217Hz in a GSM phone, for example, will filter out this

noise so it is not amplified and heard on the output. Capacitors

with a tolerance of 10% or better are recommended for

impedance matching.

DIFFERENTIAL CIRCUIT CONFIGURATIONS

The LM4673 can be used in many different circuit configura-

tions. The simplest and best performing is the DC coupled,

differential input configuration shown in Figure 2. Equation (2)

above is used to determine the value of the Ri resistors for a

desired gain.

Input capacitors can be used in a differential configuration as

shown in Figure 3. Equation (3) above is used to determine

the value of the Ci capacitors for a desired frequency re-

sponse due to the high-pass filter created by Ci and Ri.

Equation (2) above is used to determine the value of the Ri

resistors for a desired gain.

The LM4673 can be used to amplify more than one audio

source. Figure 4 shows a dual differential input configuration.

The gain for each input can be independently set for maxi-

mum design flexibility using the Ri resistors for each input and

Equation (2). Input capacitors can be used with one or more

sources as well to have different frequency responses de-

pending on the source or if a DC voltage needs to be blocked

from a source.

SINGLE-ENDED CIRCUIT CONFIGURATIONS

The LM4673 can also be used with single-ended sources but

input capacitors will be needed to block any DC at the input

terminals. Figure 5 shows the typical single-ended application

configuration. The equations for Gain, Equation (2), and fre-

quency response, Equation (3), hold for the single-ended

configuration as shown in Figure 5.

When using more than one single-ended source as shown in

Figure 6, the impedance seen from each input terminal should

be equal. To find the correct values for Ci3 and Ri3 connected

to the +IN input pin the equivalent impedance of all the single-

ended sources are calculated. The single-ended sources are

in parallel to each other. The equivalent capacitor and resis-

tor, Ci3 and Ri3, are found by calculating the parallel combi-

nation of all Civalues and then all Ri values. Equations (4) and

(5) below are for any number of single-ended sources.

Ci3 = Ci1 + Ci2 + Cin ... (F) (4)

Ri3 = 1 / (1/Ri1 + 1/Ri2 + 1/Rin ...) (Ω) (5)

The LM4673 may also use a combination of single-ended and

differential sources. A typical application with one single-end-

ed source and one differential source is shown in Figure 7.

Using the principle of superposition, the external component

values can be determined with the above equations corre-

sponding to the configuration.

REFERENCE DESIGN BOARD SCHEMATIC

20152228

FIGURE 8.

In addition to the minimal parts required for the application

circuit, a measurement filter is provided on the evaluation cir-

cuit board so that conventional audio measurements can be

conveniently made without additional equipment. This is a

balanced input, grounded differential output low pass filter

with a 3dB frequency of approximately 35kHz and an on board

termination resistor of 300Ω (see schematic). Note that the

capacitive load elements are returned to ground. This is not

optimal for common mode rejection purposes, but due to the

independent pulse format at each output there is a significant

amount of high frequency common mode component on the

outputs. The grounded capacitive filter elements attenuate

this component at the board to reduce the high frequency

CMRR requirement placed on the analysis instruments.

Even with the grounded filter the audio signal is still differen-

tial, necessitating a differential input on any analysis instru-

ment connected to it. Most lab instruments that feature BNC

connectors on their inputs are NOT differential responding

because the ring of the BNC is usually grounded.

The commonly used Audio Precision analyzer is differential,

but its ability to accurately reject high frequency signals is

questionable necessitating the on board measurement filter.

When in doubt or when the signal needs to be single-ended,

use an audio signal transformer to convert the differential out-

put to a single ended output. Depending on the audio

transformer's characteristics, there may be some attenuation

of the audio signal which needs to be taken into account for

correct measurement of performance.

Measurements made at the output of the measurement filter

suffer attenuation relative to the primary, unfiltered outputs

even at audio frequencies. This is due to the resistance of the

inductors interacting with the termination resistor (300Ω) and

is typically about -0.25dB (3%). In other words, the voltage

levels (and corresponding power levels) indicated through the

measurement filter are slightly lower than those that actually

occur at the load placed on the unfiltered outputs. This small

loss in the filter for measurement gives a lower output power

reading than what is really occurring on the unfiltered outputs

and its load.

sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.

TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TI’s standard

warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where

mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily performed.

TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and

applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide
