APPLICATION INFORMATION
GENERAL AMPLIFIER FUNCTION
The LM4675 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 LM4675 are differential, the two signals cancel each
other. This results in no net voltage 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 LM4675 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 occurs, 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.
SPREAD SPECTRUM MODULATION
The LM4675 features a fitlerless spread spectrum modulation scheme that eliminates the need for output filters,
ferrite beads or chokes. The switching frequency varies by ±30% about a 300kHz center frequency, reducing the
wideband spectral contend, improving EMI emissions radiated by the speaker and associated cables and traces.
Where a fixed frequency class D exhibits large amounts of spectral energy at multiples of the switching
frequency, the spread spectrum architecture of the LM4675 spreads that energy over a larger bandwidth. The
cycle-to-cycle variation of the switching period does not affect the audio reproduction of efficiency.
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 produce it with the difference being the power dissipated, typically, in the IC. The key here is “useful” work. For
audio systems, the energy delivered in the audible bands is considered 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 being transduced is dissipated in the
LM4675 and in the transducer load. The amount of power dissipation in the LM4675 is very low. This is because
the ON resistance of the switches used to form the output waveforms is typically less than 0.25. This leaves
only the transducer load as a potential "sink" for the small excess of input power over audio band output power.
The LM4675 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 increasingly turning to differential analog signal
handling to preserve signal to noise ratios with restricted voltage swing. The LM4675 is a fully differential
amplifier that features differential input and output stages. A differential amplifier amplifies the difference between
the two input signals. Traditional 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 LM4675 also offers the possibility of
DC input coupling which eliminates the two external AC coupling, DC blocking capacitors. The LM4675 can be
used, however, as a single ended input amplifier while still retaining it's fully differential benefits. In fact,
completely unrelated signals may be placed on the input pins. The LM4675 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 amplifier
reduces sensitivity to ground offset related noise injection, 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 supply create a voltage drop. The voltage loss on the traces between the LM4675 and the load results is
lower output power and decreased efficiency. Higher trace resistance between the supply and the LM4675 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 filter 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 standpoint, this is an aggressive waveform that can
radiate or conduct to other components in the system and cause interference. 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 preventing unwanted interference.
As the distance from the LM4675 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 LM4675 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 critical for low noise performance and high power supply
rejection ratio (PSRR). The capacitor (CS) location should be as close as possible to the LM4675. Typical
applications employ a voltage regulator with a 10µF and a 0.1µF bypass capacitors that increase supply stability.
These capacitors do not eliminate the need for bypassing on the supply pin of the LM4675. A 4.7µF tantalum
capacitor is recommended.
SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, the LM4675 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 Tables 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 LM4675 may be disabled with shutdown voltages in between ground and supply, the
idle current will be greater than the typical 0.01µA value.
The LM4675 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 LM4675 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 due to the
internal shutdown resistor can be found by Equation 1 below.
(VSD - GND) / 300k(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 LM4675 is set by the external resistors, Ri in Figure 2, The Gain is given by Equation 2 below.
Best THD+N performance is achieved with a gain of 2V/V (6dB).
AV= 2 * 150 k/ Ri(V/V) (2)
It is recommended that resistors with 1% tolerance or better be used to set the gain of the LM4675. The Ri
resistors should be placed close to the input pins of the LM4675. 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
LM4675. Noise coupled onto input traces which are physically close to each other will be common mode and
easily rejected by the LM4675.
Input capacitors may be needed for some applications or when the source is single-ended (see Figure 26,
Figure 28). Input capacitors are needed to block any DC voltage at the source so that the DC voltage seen
between the input terminals of the LM4675 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 / (2πRiCi) (Hz) (3)

The input capacitors may also be used to remove low audio frequencies. Small speakers cannot reproduce low
bass frequencies so filtering may be desired . When the LM4675 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
Figure 28 Figure 30). Setting the high-pass filter point above the power supply noise frequencies, 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 LM4675 can be used in many different circuit configurations. The simplest and best performing is the DC
coupled, differential input configuration shown in Figure 25.Equation 2 above is used to determine the value of
the Riresistors for a desired gain.
Input capacitors can be used in a differential configuration as shown in Figure 26.Equation 3 above is used to
determine the value of the Cicapacitors for a desired frequency response due to the high-pass filter created by
Ciand Ri.Equation 2 above is used to determine the value of the Riresistors for a desired gain.
The LM4675 can be used to amplify more than one audio source. Figure 27 shows a dual differential input
configuration. The gain for each input can be independently set for maximum 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 depending on the source or if a DC voltage needs to be blocked from a source.
SINGLE-ENDED CIRCUIT CONFIGURATIONS
The LM4675 can also be used with single-ended sources but input capacitors will be needed to block any DC at
the input terminals. Figure 28 shows the typical single-ended application configuration. The equations for Gain,
Equation 2, and frequency response, Equation 3, hold for the single-ended configuration as shown in Figure 28.
When using more than one single-ended source as shown in Figure 29, 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 resistor, Ci3 and Ri3, are found by calculating the parallel combination of all
Civalues and then all Rivalues. Equation 4 and Equation 5 below are for any number of single-ended sources.
Ci3 = Ci1 + Ci2 + Cin (F) (4)
Ri3 = 1 / (1/Ri1 + 1/Ri2 + 1/Rin) () (5)
The LM4675 may also use a combination of single-ended and differential sources. A typical application with one
single-ended source and one differential source is shown in Figure 30. Using the principle of superposition, the
external component values can be determined with the above equations corresponding to the configuration.

REFERENCE DESIGN BOARD SCHEMATIC
In addition to the minimal parts required for the application circuit, a measurement filter is provided on the
evaluation circuit 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 300(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 differential, necessitating a differential input on any analysis
instrument 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 output 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 (300) 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.
