LM4927
2.5 Watt Fully Differential Audio Power Amplifier With
Shutdown
General Description
The LM4927 is a fully differential audio power amplifier
primarily designed for demanding applications in mobile
phones and other portable communication device applica-
tions. It is capable of delivering 2.5 watts of continuous
average power to a 4Ωload with less than 10% distortion
(THD+N) from a 5V
DC
power supply.
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to
provide high quality output power with a minimal amount of
external components. The LM4927 does not require output
coupling capacitors or bootstrap capacitors, and therefore is
ideally suited for mobile phone and other low voltage appli-
cations where minimal power consumption is a primary re-
quirement.
The LM4927 features a low-power consumption shutdown
mode. To facilitate this, Shutdown may be enabled by logic
low. Additionally, the LM4927 features an internal thermal
shutdown protection mechanism.
The LM4927 contains advanced pop & click circuitry which
eliminates noises which would otherwise occur during
turn-on and turn-off transitions.

Application Information
DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER EXPLANATION
The LM4927 is a fully differential audio amplifier that fea-
tures differential input and output stages. Internally this is
accomplished by two circuits: a differential amplifier and a
common mode feedback amplifier that adjusts the output
voltages so that the average value remains V
DD
/ 2. When
setting the differential gain, the amplifier can be considered
to have "halves". Each half uses an input and feedback
resistor (R
i1
and R
F1
) to set its respective closed-loop gain
(see Figure 1). With R
i1
=R
i2
and R
F1
=R
F2
, the gain is set
at -R
F
/R
i
for each half. This results in a differential gain of
A
VD
=-R
F
/R
i
(1)
It is extremely important to match the input resistors to each
other, as well as the feedback resistors to each other for best
amplifier performance. See the Proper Selection of Exter-
nal Components section for more information. A differential
amplifier works in a manner where the difference between
the two input signals is amplified. In most applications, this
would require input signals that are 180˚ out of phase with
each other. The LM4927 can be used, however, as a single
ended input amplifier while still retaining its fully differential
benefits. In fact, completely unrelated signals may be placed
on the input pins. The LM4927 simply amplifies the differ-
ence between them.
All of these applications provide what is known as a "bridged
mode" output (bridge-tied-load, BTL). This results in output
signals at V
o1
and V
o2
that are 180˚ out of phase with
respect to each other. Bridged mode operation is different
from the single-ended amplifier configuration that connects
the load between the amplifier output and ground. A bridged
amplifier design has distinct advantages over the single-
ended configuration: it provides differential drive to the load,
thus doubling maximum possible output swing for a specific
supply voltage. Four times the output power is possible
compared with a single-ended amplifier under the same
conditions. This increase in attainable output power as-
sumes that the amplifier is not current limited or clipped. In
order to choose an amplifier’s closed-loop gain without caus-
ing excess clipping, please refer to the Audio Power Am-
plifier Design section.
A bridged configuration, such as the one used in the
LM4927, also creates a second advantage over single-
ended amplifiers. Since the differential outputs, V
o1
and V
o2
,
are biased at half-supply, no net DC voltage exists across
the load. This assumes that the input resistor pair and the
feedback resistor pair are properly matched (see Proper
Selection of External Components). BTL configuration
eliminates the output coupling capacitor required in single-
supply, single-ended amplifier configurations. If an output
coupling capacitor is not used in a single-ended output con-
figuration, the half-supply bias across the load would result
in both increased internal IC power dissipation as well as
permanent loudspeaker damage. Further advantages of
bridged mode operation specific to fully differential amplifiers
like the LM4927 include increased power supply rejection
ratio, common-mode noise reduction, and click and pop
reduction.
EXPOSED-DAP PACKAGE PCB MOUNTING
CONSIDERATIONS
The LM4927’s exposed-DAP (die attach paddle) package
(LLP) provide a low thermal resistance between the die and
the PCB to which the part is mounted and soldered. This
allows rapid heat transfer from the die to the surrounding
PCB copper traces, ground plane and, finally, surrounding
air. Failing to optimize thermal design may compromise the
LM4927’s high power performance and activate unwanted,
though necessary, thermal shutdown protection. The LLP
package must have its DAP soldered to a copper pad on the
PCB. The DAP’s PCB copper pad is connected to a large
plane of continuous unbroken copper. This plane forms a
thermal mass and heat sink and radiation area. Place the
heat sink area on either outside plane in the case of a
two-sided PCB, or on an inner layer of a board with more
than two layers. Connect the DAP copper pad to the inner
layer or backside copper heat sink area with a thermal via.
The via diameter should be 0.012in - 0.013in. Ensure effi-
cient thermal conductivity by plating-through and solder-
filling the vias.
Best thermal performance is achieved with the largest prac-
tical copper heat sink area. In all circumstances and condi-
tions, the junction temperature must be held below 150˚C to
prevent activating the LM4927’s thermal shutdown protec-
tion. The LM4927’s power de-rating curve in the Typical
Performance Characteristics shows the maximum power
dissipation versus temperature. Example PCB layouts are
shown in the Demonstration Board Layout section. Further
detailed and specific information concerning PCB layout,
fabrication, and mounting an LLP package is available from
National Semiconductor’s package Engineering Group un-
der application note AN1187.
PCB LAYOUT AND SUPPLY REGULATION
CONSIDERATIONS FOR DRIVING 4ΩLOADS
Power dissipated by a load is a function of the voltage swing
across the load and the load’s impedance. As load imped-
ance decreases, load dissipation becomes increasingly de-
pendent on the interconnect (PCB trace and wire) resistance
between the amplifier output pins and the load’s connec-
tions. Residual trace resistance causes a voltage drop,
which results in power dissipated in the trace and not in the
load as desired. This problem of decreased load dissipation
is exacerbated as load impedance decreases. Therefore, to
maintain the highest load dissipation and widest output volt-
age swing, PCB traces that connect the output pins to a load
must be as wide as possible.
Poor power supply regulation adversely affects maximum
output power. A poorly regulated supply’s output voltage
decreases with increasing load current. Reduced supply
voltage causes decreased headroom, output signal clipping,
and reduced output power. Even with tightly regulated sup-
plies, trace resistance creates the same effects as poor
supply regulation. Therefore, making the power supply
traces as wide as possible helps maintain full output voltage
swing.
POWER DISSIPATION
Power dissipation is a major concern when designing a
successful amplifer, whether the amplifier is bridged or
single-ended. Equation 2 states the maximum power dissi-
pation point for a single-ended amplifier operating at a given
supply voltage and driving a specified output load.

However, a direct consequence of the increased power de-

Since the LM4927 has bridged outputs, the maximum inter-
nal power dissipation is 4 times that of a single-ended am-
plifier. Even with this substantial increase in power dissipa-
tion, the LM4927 does not require additional heatsinking
under most operating conditions and output loading. From
Equation 3, assuming a 5V power supply and an 8Ωload,
the maximum power dissipation point is 625mW. The maxi-
mum power dissipation point obtained from Equation 3 must
not be greater than the power dissipation results from Equa-
tion 4:

(4)
The LM4927’s θ
JA
in an SDA08A package is 63˚C/W. De-
pending on the ambient temperature, T
A
, of the system
surroundings, Equation 4 can be used to find the maximum
internal power dissipation supported by the IC packaging. If
the result of Equation 3 is greater than that of Equation 4,
then either the supply voltage must be decreased, the load
impedance increased, the ambient temperature reduced, or
the θ
JA
reduced with heatsinking. In many cases, larger
traces near the output, V
DD
, and GND pins can be used to
lower the θ
JA
. The larger areas of copper provide a form of
heatsinking allowing higher power dissipation. For the typical
application of a 5V power supply, with an 8Ωload, the
maximum ambient temperature possible without violating the
maximum junction temperature is approximately 110˚C pro-
vided that device operation is around the maximum power
dissipation point. Recall that internal power dissipation is a
function of output power. If typical operation is not around the
maximum power dissipation point, the LM4927 can operate
at higher ambient temperatures. Refer to the Typical Per-
formance Characteristics curves for power dissipation in-
formation.
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 location on both the
bypass and power supply pins should be as close to the
device as possible. A larger half-supply bypass capacitor
improves PSRR because it increases half-supply stability.
Typical applications employ a 5V regulator with 10µF and
0.1µF bypass capacitors that increase supply stability. This,
however, does not eliminate the need for bypassing the
supply nodes of the LM4927. The LM4927 will operate with-
out the bypass capacitor C
B
, although the PSRR may de-
crease. A 1µF capacitor is recommended for C
B
. This value
maximizes PSRR performance. Lesser values may be used,
but PSRR decreases at frequencies below 1kHz. The issue
of C
B
selection is thus dependant upon desired PSRR and
click and pop performance as explained in the section
Proper Selection of External Components.
SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, the
LM4927 contains shutdown circuitry that is used to turn off
the amplifier’s bias circuitry. The device may then be placed
into shutdown mode by toggling the Shutdown Select pin to
logic low. The trigger point for shutdown is shown as a typical
value in the Supply Current vs Shutdown Voltage graphs in
the Typical Performance Characteristics section. It is best
to switch between ground and supply for maximum perfor-
mance. While the device may be disabled with shutdown
voltages in between ground and supply, the idle current may
be greater than the typical value of 0.1µA. In either case, the
shutdown pin should be tied to a definite voltage to avoid
unwanted state changes.
In many applications, a microcontroller or microprocessor
output is used to control the shutdown circuitry, which pro-
vides a quick, smooth transition to shutdown. Another solu-
tion is to use a single-throw switch in conjunction with an
external pull-up resistor. This scheme guarantees that the
shutdown pin will not float, thus preventing unwanted state
changes.
PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Proper selection of external components in applications us-
ing integrated power amplifiers is critical when optimizing
device and system performance. Although the LM4927 is
tolerant to a variety of external component combinations,
consideration of component values must be made when
maximizing overall system quality.
The LM4927 is unity-gain stable, giving the designer maxi-
mum system flexibility. The LM4927 should be used in low
closed-loop gain configurations to minimize THD+N values
and maximize 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. Please refer to the
Audio Power Amplifier Design section for a more complete
explanation of proper gain selection. When used in its typical
application as a fully differential power amplifier the LM4927
does not require input coupling capacitors for input sources
with DC common-mode voltages of less than V
DD
. Exact
allowable input common-mode voltage levels are actually a
function of V
DD

Equation 5:

Special care must be taken to match the values of the input
resistors (R
i1
and R
i2
) to each other. Because of the bal-
anced nature of differential amplifiers, resistor matching dif-
ferences can result in net DC currents across the load. This
DC current can increase power consumption, internal IC
power dissipation, reduce PSRR, and possibly damaging the
loudspeaker. The chart below demonstrates this problem by
showing the effects of differing values between the feedback
resistors while assuming that the input resistors are perfectly
matched. The results below apply to the application circuit
shown in Figure 1, and assumes that V
DD
=5V,R
L
=8Ω, and
the system has DC coupled inputs tied to ground.

Since the same variations can have a significant effect on
PSRR and CMRR performance, it is highly recommended
that the input resistors be matched to 1% tolerance or better
for best performance.

Given:
Power Output 1Wrms
Load Impedance 8Ω
Input Level 1Vrms
Input Impedance 20kΩ
Bandwidth 100Hz–20kHz ±0.25dB
A designer must first determine the minimum supply rail to
obtain the specified output power. The supply rail can easily
be found by extrapolating from the Output Power vs Supply
Voltage graphs in the Typical Performance Characteris-
tics section. A second way to determine the minimum supply
rail is to calculate the required V
OPEAK
using Equation 7 and
add the dropout voltages. Using this method, the minimum
supply voltage is (Vopeak + (V
DO TOP
+(V
DO BOT
)), where
VDO BOT and V
DO TOP
are extrapolated from the Dropout
Voltage vs Supply Voltage curve in the Typical Perfor-
mance Characteristics section.
(7)
Using the Output Power vs Supply Voltage graph for an 8Ω
load, the minimum supply rail just about 5V. Extra supply
voltage creates headroom that allows the LM4927 to repro-
duce peaks in excess of 1W without producing audible dis-
tortion. At this time, the designer must make sure that the
power supply choice along with the output impedance does
not violate the conditions explained in the Power Dissipa-
tion section. Once the power dissipation equations have
been addressed, the required differential gain can be deter-
mined from Equation 8.

-3dB frequency point. Five times away from a -3dB point is
0.17dB down from passband response which is better than
the required ±0.25dB specified.
f
H
= 20kHz*5=100kHz
The high frequency pole is determined by the product of the
desired frequency pole, f
H
, and the differential gain, A
VD
.
With a A
VD
= 2.83 and f
H
= 100kHz, the resulting GBWP =
150kHz which is much smaller than the LM4927 GBWP of
10MHz. This figure displays that if a designer has a need to
design an amplifier with a higher differential gain, the
LM4927 can still be used without running into bandwidth
limitations.
