Note 2: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. Electrical Characteristics state DC and AC electrical specifications under particular test condition which guarantee specific performance limits. This assumes that the device is within the Operating Ratings. Specifications are not guaranteed for parameters where no limit is given. However, the typical value is a good indication of device's performance. Note 3: The maximum power dissipation must be de-rated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJMAX, JC, and the ambient temperature TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation is PDMAX = (TJMAX -TA)/JC or the number given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. For the LM4702, TJMAX = 150C and the typical JC is 1C/W. Refer to the Thermal Considerations section for more information. Note 4: Human body model, 100pF discharged through a 1.5k resistor. Note 5: Machine Model: a 220pF - 240pF discharged through all pins. Note 6: Typical specifications are measured at 25C and represent the parametric norm. Note 7: Tested limits are guaranteed to National's AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level). Note 8: Datasheet min/max specification limits are guaranteed by design, test, or statistical analysis. Note 9: The maximum operating junction temperature is 150C. Note 10: PCB layout will affect cross talk. It is recommended that input and output traces be separated by as much distance as possible. Return ground traces from outputs should be independent back to a single ground point and use as wide of traces as possible. Note 11: The TA15A is a non-isolated package. The package's metal back and any heat sink to which it is mounted are connected to the Vee potential when using only thermal compound. If a mica washer is used in addition to thermal compound, CS (case to sink) is increased, but the heat sink will be electrically isolated from Vee. www.national.com 6 THD+N vs Output Voltage VDD = 75V, f = 1kHz, outputs shorted THD+N vs Output Voltage VDD = 50V, f = 1kHz, outputs shorted 20158308 20158338 THD+N vs Frequency VDD = 75V, VOUT = 14Vrms, outputs shorted THD+N vs Frequency VDD = 50V, VOUT = 10Vrms, outputs shorted 20158310 20158339 Crosstalk vs Frequency VDD = 75V Crosstalk vs Frequency VDD = 50V 20158335 20158336 7 www.national.com LM4702 Typical Performance Characteristics for LM4702C LM4702 Typical Performance Characteristics for LM4702C +PSRR vs Frequency VDD = 50V, RS = 1k, Ripple on VCC -PSRR vs Frequency VDD = 50V, RS = 1k, Ripple on Vee 20158331 20158333 +PSRR vs Frequency VDD = 75V, RS = 1k, Ripple on VCC -PSRR vs Frequency VDD = 75V, RS = 1k, Ripple on Vee 20158332 20158334 Open Loop and Phase Upper-Phase, Lower-Gain 20158337 www.national.com (Continued) 8 LM4702 Typical Performance Characteristics for LM4702B THD+N vs Frequency VDD = 100V, VOUT = 30VRMS THD+N vs Output Voltage VDD = 100V 20158341 20158340 XTALK vs Frequency B grade Demo Amp @ VDD = 50V PSRR vs Frequency VDD = 100V 20158343 20158342 9 www.national.com LM4702 Test Circuit 20158303 FIGURE 1. www.national.com 10 The thermal resistance from the die to the outside air, JA (junction to ambient), is a combination of three thermal resistances, JC (junction to case), CS (case to sink), and SA (sink to ambient). The thermal resistance, JC (junction to case), of the LM4702T is 0.8C/W. Using Thermalloy Thermacote thermal compound, the thermal resistance, CS (case to sink), is about 0.2C/W. Since convection heat flow (power dissipation) is analogous to current flow, thermal resistance is analogous to electrical resistance, and temperature drops are analogous to voltage drops, the power dissipation out of the LM4702 is equal to the following: (1) PDMAX = (TJMAX-TAMB) / JA MUTE FUNCTION The mute function of the LM4702 is controlled by the amount of current that flows into the mute pin. If there is less than 1mA of current flowing into the mute pin, the part will be in mute. This can be achieved by shorting the mute pin to ground or by floating the mute pin. If there is between 1mA and 2mA of current flowing into the mute pin, the part will be in "play" mode. This can be done by connecting a power supply (Vmute) to the mute pin through a resistor (Rm). The current into the mute pin can be determined by the equation Imute = (Vmute - 2.9) / Rm. For example, if a 5V power supply is connected through a 1.4k resistor to the mute pin, then the mute current will be 1.5mA, at the center of the specified range. It is also possible to use Vcc as the power supply for the mute pin, though Rm will have to be recalculated accordingly. It is not recommended to flow more than 2mA of current into the mute pin because damage to the LM4702 may occur. where TJMAX = 150C, TAMB is the system ambient temperature and JA = JC + CS + SA. It is highly recommended to switch between mute and "play" modes rapidly. This is accomplished most easily through using a toggle switch that alternatively connects the mute pin through a resistor to either ground or the mute pin power supply. Slowly increasing the mute current may result in undesired voltages on the outputs of the LM4702, which can damage an attached speaker. 20158355 Once the maximum package power dissipation has been calculated using equation 2, the maximum thermal resistance, SA, (heat sink to ambient) in C/W for a heat sink can be calculated. This calculation is made using equation 4 which is derived by solving for SA in equation 3. SA = [(TJMAX-TAMB)-PDMAX(JC +CS)] / PDMAX (2) THERMAL PROTECTION The LM4702 has a sophisticated thermal protection scheme to prevent long-term thermal stress of the device. When the temperature on the die exceeds 150C, the LM4702 shuts down. It starts operating again when the die temperature drops to about 145C, but if the temperature again begins to rise, shutdown will occur again above 150C. Therefore, the device is allowed to heat up to a relatively high temperature if the fault condition is temporary, but a sustained fault will cause the device to cycle in a Schmitt Trigger fashion between the thermal shutdown temperature limits of 150C and 145C. This greatly reduces the stress imposed on the IC by thermal cycling, which in turn improves its reliability under sustained fault conditions. Since the die temperature is directly dependent upon the heat sink used, the heat sink should be chosen so that thermal shutdown is not activated during normal operation. Using the best heat sink possible within the cost and space constraints of the system will improve the long-term reliability of any power semiconductor device, as discussed in the Determining the Correct Heat Sink section. Again it must be noted that the value of SA is dependent upon the system designer's amplifier requirements. If the ambient temperature that the audio amplifier is to be working under is higher than 25C, then the thermal resistance for the heat sink, given all other things are equal, will need to be smaller. PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS Proper selection of external components is required to meet the design targets of an application. The choice of external component values that will affect gain and low frequency response are discussed below. The gain of each amplifier is set by resistors Rf and Ri for the non-inverting configuration shown in Figure 1. The gain is found by Equation (3) below: (3) AV = 1 + Rf / Ri (V/V) For best noise performance, lower values of resistors are used. A value of 1k is commonly used for Ri and then setting the value of Rf for the desired gain. For the LM4702 the gain should be set no lower than 26dB. Gain settings below 26dB may experience instability. The combination of Ri with Ci (see Figure 1) creates a high pass filter. The low frequency response is determined by these two components. The -3dB point can be found from Equation (4) shown below: (4) fi = 1 / (2RiCi) (Hz) If an input coupling capacitor is used to block DC from the inputs as shown in Figure 5, there will be another high pass filter created with the combination of CIN and RIN. When using a input coupling capacitor RIN is needed to set the DC POWER DISSIPATION AND HEAT SINKING When in "play" mode, the LM4702 draws a constant amount of current, regardless of the input signal amplitude. Consequently, the power dissipation is constant for a given supply voltage and can be computed with the equation PDMAX = Icc * (Vcc - Vee). For a quick calculation of PDMAX, approximate the current to be 25mA and multiply it by the total supply voltage (the current varies slightly from this value over the operating range). DETERMINING THE CORRECT HEAT SINK The choice of a heat sink for a high-power audio amplifier is made entirely to keep the die temperature at a level such that the thermal protection circuitry is not activated under normal circumstances. 11 www.national.com LM4702 Application Information LM4702 Application Information One of the recommended methods of preventing thermal runaway is to use a heat sink on the bipolar output transistors. This will keep the temperature of the transistors lower. A second recommended method is to use emitter degeneration resistors (see Re1, Re2, Re3, Re4 in Figure 1). As current increases, the voltage across the emitter degeneration resistor also increases, which decreases the voltage across the base and emitter. This mechanism helps to limit the current and counteracts thermal runaway. A third recommended method is to use a "Vbe multiplier" to bias the bipolar output stage (see Figure 1). The Vbe multiplier consists of a bipolar transistor (Qmult, see Figure 1) and two resistors, one from the base to the collector (Rb2, Rb4, see Figure 1) and one from the base to the emitter (Rb1, Rb3, see Figure 1). The voltage from the collector to the emitter (also the bias voltage of the output stage) is Vbias = Vbe(1+Rb2/Rb1), which is why this circuit is called the Vbe multiplier. When Vbe multiplier transistor (Qmult, see Figure 1) is mounted to the same heat sink as the bipolar output transistors, its temperature will track that of the output transistors. Its Vbe is dependent upon temperature as well, and so it will draw more current as the output transistors heat it up. This will limit the base current into the output transistors, which counteracts thermal runaway. (Continued) bias point on the amplifier's input terminal. The resulting -3dB frequency response due to the combination of CIN and RIN can be found from Equation (5) shown below: fIN = 1 / (2RINCIN) (Hz) (5) With large values of RIN oscillations may be observed on the outputs when the inputs are left floating. Decreasing the value of RIN or not letting the inputs float will remove the oscillations. If the value of RIN is decreased then the value of CIN will need to increase in order to maintain the same -3dB frequency response. AVOIDING THERMAL RUNAWAY WHEN USING BIPOLAR OUTPUT STAGES When using a bipolar output stage with the LM4702 (as in Figure 1), the designer must beware of thermal runaway. Thermal runaway is a result of the temperature dependence of Vbe (an inherent property of the transistor). As temperature increases, Vbe decreases. In practice, current flowing through a bipolar transistor heats up the transistor, which lowers the Vbe. This in turn increases the current again, and the cycle repeats. If the system is not designed properly, this positive feedback mechanism can destroy the bipolar transistors used in the output stage. www.national.com 12 LM4702 LM4702 Demo Board Artwork Top Overlay 20158330 Top Layer 20158329 13 www.national.com LM4702 LM4702 Demo Board Artwork (Continued) Bottom Layer 20158328 www.national.com 14 LM4702 Revision History Rev Date 1.0 8/31/05 Initial WEB. 1.1 9/09/05 Taken out Limits on Vom (under the +75V and +50V). 1.2 9/14/05 Changed TM to R ( Overture R) in the doc title. 1.3 03/08/06 Text edits. 1.4 04/26/04 Edited Limit values on the LM4702B spec table. 1.5 08/09/06 Released the D/S to the WEB with the LM4702B data. 1.6 09/19/06 Removed the "Overture R" from the document title, then released the D/S to the WEB 15 Description www.national.com LM4702 Stereo High Fidelity 200 Volt Driver with Mute Physical Dimensions inches (millimeters) unless otherwise noted Non-Isolated TO-220 15-Lead Package Order Number LM4702BTA, LM4702CTA NS Package Number TA15A 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.
