Figure 3 shows the implementation of the LM4834's headphone control function using a single-supply.The voltage divider of R1, R2, R4, and R5 sets the voltage at the HP sense pin (pin 16) to be approximately 50 mV when there are no headphones plugged into the system. This logic-low voltage at the HP sense pin enables bridged power amplifier. Resistor R4 limits the amount of current flowing out of the HP sense pin when the voltage at that pin goes below ground resulting from the music coming from the headphone amplifier. Resistor R1, R4, and R5 form a resistor divider that prevents false triggering of the HP sense pin when the voltage at the output swings near the rail, since VIH is about 2.5V. BEEP IN FUNCTION The Beep In pin (pin 14) is a mono input, for system beeps, that is mixed into the left and right input. This Beep In pin will allow an input signal to pass through to the Sum Out and Line/HP output pins. The minimum potential for the input of the Beep In signal is 300mV. Beep in signals less than 300mVP-P will not pass through to the output. The beep in circuitry provides left-right signal isolation to prevent crosstalk at the summed input. As shown in the Fig. 2, it is required that a resistor and capacitor is placed in series with the Beep In pin and the node tied to VDD through a 100k resistor. The recommended value for the input resistor is between 120k to 10k and the input capacitor is between .22F and .47F. The input resistor can be changed to vary the amplitude of the beep in signal. Higher values of the input resistor will reduce the amplifier gain and attenuate the beep in signal. In cases where system beeps are required when the system is in a suspended mode, the LM4834 must be brought out of shutdown before the beep in signal is input. When a set of headphones are plugged into the system, the contact pin of the headphone jack is disconnected from the signal pin, interrupting the voltage divider set up by resistors R1, R2, R4, and R5. Resistor R1 then pulls up the HP sense pin, enabling the headphone function and disabling the bridged amplifier. The headphone amplifier then drives the headphones, whoseimpedance is in parallel with resistor R2 and R3. Also shown in Figure 3 are the electrical connections for the headphone jack and plug. A 3-wire plug consists of a Tip, Ring and Sleeve, where the Tip and Ring are signal carrying conductors and the Sleeve is the common ground return. One control pin contact for each headphone jack is sufficient to indicate that the user has inserted a plug into a jack and that another mode of operation is desired. The LM4834 can be used to drive both a bridged 8 internal speaker and a pair of 32 speakers without using the HP sense pin. In this case the HP sense is controlled by a microprocessor or a switch. SHUTDOWN FUNCTION In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, the LM4834 contains a shutdown pin to externally turn off the bias circuitry. The LM4834 will shutdown when a logic high is placed on the shutdown pin. The trigger point between a logic low and logic high level is typically half supply. It is best to switch between ground and the supply VDD to provide maximum device performance. By switching the shutdown pin to VDD, the LM4834 supply current draw will be minimized. While the device will be disabled with shutdown pin voltages less than VDD, the idle current may be greater than the typical value of 0.6 A.The shutdown pin should not be floated, since this may result in an unwanted shutdown condition. In many applications, a microcontroller or microprocessor output is used to control the shutdown circuitry which provides a quick, smooth transition into shutdown. Another solution is to use a single-pole, single-throw switch in conjuction with an external pull-up resistor. When the switch is closed,the shutdown pin is connected to ground and enables the amplifier. If the switch is open, then the external pull-up resistor will shutdown the LM4834. This scheme prevents the shutdown pin from floating. MODE FUNCTION The LM4834 was designed to operate in two modes. In mode 0 (lineout mode),where the mode pin (pin 17) is given a logic level low, the attenuation at the Line/HP outputs are fixed at a gain of 1.4. In mode 1 (headphone mode), where the mode pin is given a logic level high, the attenuation of the Line/HP outputs is controlled through the DC voltage at pin 22. The signal levels of the Left and Right Sum Out pins are always controlled by the DC potential at pin 22 regardless of the mode of the IC. In mode 0, pin 5 and pin 24 are line out drivers. In mode 1, pin 5 and pin 24 are headphone drivers. 10001531 MUTE FUNCTION By placing a logic level high on the mute pin (pin 15), the Right and Left Sum Out pins will be muted. If the LM4834 is in the headphone mode, the HP/Line out pins as well as the Sum Out pins are muted. The mute pin must not be floated. FIGURE 3. Headphone Input Circuit DC VOLUME CONTROL The DC voltage at the DC Volume Control pin (pin 22) determines the attenuation of the Sum Out and Line/HP amplifiers. If the DC potential of pin 22 is at 4V the internal 11 www.national.com LM4834 HP SENSE FUNCTION Application Information LM4834 Application Information ground returns for the output loads back to the supply separately will keep large signal currents from interfering with the stable AC input ground references. (Continued) amplifiers are set at a gain of 1.4 (2.9dB). The attenuation of the amplifiers increase until 0V is reached. The attenuator range is from 2.9dB (pin22 = 4V) to -75dB (pin22 = 0V). Any DC voltage greater than 4V will result in a gain of 2.9dB. When the mode pin is given a logic low, the Line/HP amplifier will be fixed at a gain of 2.9dB regardless of the voltage of pin 22. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics for detailed information of the attenuation characteristics of the DC Volume Control pin. LAYOUT As stated in the Grounding section, placement of ground return lines is imperative in maintaining the highest level of system performance. It is not only important to route the correct ground return lines together, but also to be aware of where the ground return lines are routed with respect to each other. The output load ground returns should be physically located as far as possible from low signal level lines and their ground return lines. Critical signal lines are those relating to the microphone amplifier section, since these lines generally work at very low signal levels. MICROPHONE PREAMPLIFIER The microphone preamplifier is intended to amplify low-level signals. The mic input can be directly connected to a microphone network or to low level signal inputs. The mic amplifier has enough output capability to drive a 1k load. A power supply buffer is included for microphones which require external biasing. POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING As with any power amplifier, proper supply bypassing is critical for low noise performance and high power supply rejection. The capacitor location on both the bypass and power supply pins should be as close to the device as possible. The effect of a larger half supply bypass capacitor is improved PSRR due to increased half-supply stability. Typical applications employ a 5 volt regulator with 10 F and a 0.1 F bypass capacitors which aid in supply stability, but do not eliminate the need for bypassing the supply nodes of the LM4834. The selection of bypass capacitors, especially CB, is thus dependant upon desired PSRR requirements, click and pop performance as explained in the section, Proper Selection of External Components, system cost, and size constraints. It is also recommended to decouple each of the VDD pins with a 0.1F capacitor to ground. POWER DISSIPATION Power dissipation is a major concern when using any power amplifier and must be thoroughly understood to ensure a successful design. Equation 1 states the maximum power dissipation point for a bridged amplifier operating at a given supply voltage and driving a specified load. PDMAX = 4(VDD)2/(22RL) (1) Along with the bridged amplifier, the LM4834 also incorporates two single-ended amplifiers. Equation 2 states the maximum power dissipation point for a single-ended amplifier operating at a given supply voltage and driving a specified load. PDMAX = (VDD)2/(22RL) (2) Even with the power dissipation of the bridged amplifier andthe two single-ended amplifiers, the LM4834 does not require heatsinking. The power dissipation from the three amplifiers, must not be greater than the package power dissipation that results from Equation 3: PDMAX = (TJMAX - TA)/ JA (3) For the LM4834 SSOP package, JA = 95C/W and TJMAX = 150C. Depending on the ambient temperature, TA, of the system surroundings, Equation 3 can be used to find the maximum internal power dissipation supported by the IC packaging. If the result of Equation 1 and 2 is greater than that of Equation 3, then either the supply voltage must be decreased, the load impedance increased, or the ambient temperature reduced. For the typical application of a 5V power supply, with an 8 bridged load and 32 single ended loads, the maximum ambient temperature possible without violating the maximum junction temperature is approximately 82C provided that device operation is around the maximum power dissipation points. Power dissipation is a function of output power and thus, if typical operation is not around the maximum power dissipation point, the ambient temperature can be increased. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics curvesfor power dissipation information for different output powers. PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS Proper selection of external components in applications using integrated power amplifiers is critical to optimize device and system performance. While the LM4834 is tolerant of external component combinations, consideration to component values must be used to maximize overall system quality. The LM4834's bridged amplifier should be used in low gain configurations to minimize THD+N values, and maximize the signal to noise ratio. Low gain configurations require large input signals to obtain a given output power. Input signals equal to or greater than 1Vrms are available from sources such as audio codecs. Besides gain, one of the major considerations is the closedloop bandwidth of the amplifier. To a large extent, the bandwidth is dictated by the choice of external components shown in Figure 1. Both the input coupling capacitor, CI, and the output coupling capacitor form first order high pass filters which limit low frequency response given in Equations 4 and 5. fIC = 1/(2RiCi) (4) fOC = 1/(2RLCO) (5) These values should be chosen based on required frequency response. Selection of Input and Output Capacitor Size Large input and output capacitors are both expensive and space hungry for portable designs. Clearly, a certain sized capacitor is needed to couple in low frequencies without severe attenuation. In many cases the speakers used in portable systems, whether internal or external, have little GROUNDING In order to achieve the best possible performance, there are certain grounding techniques to be followed. All input reference grounds should be tied with their respective source grounds and brought back to the power supply ground separately from the output load ground returns. Bringing the www.national.com 12 mended value for R6 is between 150 to 1k. The recommended value for R7 is between 100 to 500. To achieve virtually clickless and popless performance R6 = 150, R7 = 100, CO = 220F, and CB = 0.47F should be used. Lower values of R6 will result in better click and pop performance. However, it should be understood that lower resistance values of R6 will increase quiescent current. (Continued) ability to reproduce signals below 100 Hz-150 Hz. In this case, usinga large input or output capacitor may not increase system performance. In addition to system cost and size, click and pop performance is effected by the size of the input coupling capacitor, Ci. A larger input coupling capacitor requires more charge to reach its quiescent DC voltage (nominally 1/2 VDD.) This charge comes from the output through the feedback and is apt to create pops once the device is enabled. By minimizing the capacitor size based on necessary low frequency response, turn-on pops can be minimized. CLICK AND POP CIRCUITRY The LM4834 contains circuitry to minimize turn-on transients or "click and pops". In this case, turn-on refers to either power supply turn-on or the device coming out of shutdown mode. When the device is turning on, the amplifiers are internally configured as unity gain buffers. An internal current source ramps up the voltage of the bypass pin. Both the inputs and outputs ideally track the voltage at the bypass pin. The device will remain in buffer mode until the bypass pin has reached its half supply voltage, 1/2 VDD. As soon as the bypass node is stable, the device will become fully operational. Although the bypass pin current source cannot be modified, the size of the bypass capacitor, CB, can be changed to alter the device turn-on time and the amount of "click and pop". By increasing CB, the amount of turn-on pop can be reduced. However, the trade-off for using a larger bypass capacitor is an increase in the turn-on time for the device. Reducing CB will decrease turn-on time and increase "click and pop". There is a linear relationship between the size of CB and the turn-on time. Here are some typical turn-on times for different values of CB: CB TON 0.01 F 20 ms 0.1 F 200 ms 0.22 F 420 ms 0.47 F 840 ms 1.0 F 2 sec 10001533 FIGURE 4. Resistors for Varying Output Loads LOW FREQUENCY ENHANCEMENT In some cases a designer may want to improve the low frequency response of the bridged amplifier. This low frequency boost can be useful in systems where speakers are housed in small enclosures. A resistor, RLFE, and a capacitor, CLFE, in parallel, can be placed in series with the feedback resistor of the bridged amplifier as seen in Figure 5. 10001532 In order to eliminate "click and pop", all capacitors must be discharged before turn-on. Rapid on/off switching of the device or shutdown function may cause the "click and pop" circuitry to not operate fully, resulting in increased "click and pop" noise. In systems where the line out and headphone jack are the same, the output coupling cap, CO, is of particular concern. COis chosen for a desired cutoff frequency with a headphone load. This desired cutoff frequency will change when the headphone load is replaced by a high impedance line out load(powered speakers). The input impedance of headphones are typically between 32 and 64. Whereas, the input impedance of powered speakers can vary from 1k top 100k. As the RC time constant of the load and the output coupling capacitor increases, the turn off transients are increased. To improve click and pop performance in this situation, external resistors R6 and R7 should be added. The recom- FIGURE 5. Low Frequency Enhancement At low frequencies the capacitor will be virtually an open circuit. At high frequencies the capacitor will be virtually a short circuit. As a result of this, the gain of the bridge amplifier is increased at low frequencies. A first order pole is formed with a corner frequency at: fc = 1/(2RLFECLFE) The resulting low frequency differential gain of this bridged amplifier becomes: 2(Rf + RLFE) / Ri = Avd With RF = 20k, RLFE = 20k, and CLFE = 0.068 F, a first order pole is formed with a corner frequency of 120 Hz. At low frequencies the differential gain will be 4, assuming RS = 20k. The low frequency boost formulas assume that CO, Ci, fIC, fOC allow the appropriate low frequency response. 13 www.national.com LM4834 Application Information LM4834 1.75W Audio Power Amplifier with DC Volume Control and Microphone Preamp Physical Dimensions inches (millimeters) unless otherwise noted SSOP Package Order Number LM4834MS NS Package Number MSA028CB for SSOP National does not assume any responsibility for use of any circuitry described, no circuit patent licenses are implied and National reserves the right at any time without notice to change said circuitry and specifications.

Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements. TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in such safety-critical applications. TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use. TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
