LM4954 LM4954 High Voltage 3 Watt Audio Power Amplifier Literature Number: SNAS292A LM4954 High Voltage 3 Watt Audio Power Amplifier General Description Key Specifications The LM4954 is an audio power amplifier primarily designed for demanding applications in mobile phones and other portable communication device applications. It is capable of delivering 2.4 Watts of continuous average power to an 8 BTL load with less than 1% THD+N from a 7VDC power supply. Boomer audio power amplifiers are designed specifically to provide high quality output power with a minimal number of external components. The LM4954 does not require output coupling capacitors or bootstrap capacitors, and therefore is ideally suited for lower-power portable applications where minimal space and power consumption are primary requirements. The LM4954 features a low-power consumption global shutdown mode which is achieved by driving the shutdown pin with logic low. Additionally, the LM4954 features an internal thermal shutdown protection mechanism. The LM4954 contains advanced pop & click circuitry which eliminates noises that would otherwise occur during turn-on and turn-off transitions. The LM4954 is unity-gain stable and can be configured by external gain-setting resistors. j Wide Power Supply 2.7 VDD 9V Voltage Range j Output Power: VDD = 7V, 1% THD+N j Quiescent power supply current j PSRR: VDD = 5V and 3V at 217Hz j Shutdown power supply current 2.4W (typ) 3mA (typ) 80dB (typ) 0.01A (typ) Features n No output coupling capacitors, snubber networks or bootstrap capacitors required n Unity gain stable n Externally configurable gain n Ultra low current active low shutdown mode n BTL output can drive capacitive loads up to 100pF n "Click and pop" suppression circuitry n 2.7V - 9.0V operation n Available in space-saving microSMD package Applications n Mobile Phones n PDAs Typical Application 20129111 FIGURE 1.

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 conditions 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 performance. Note 3: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJMAX, JA, and the ambient temperature TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation is PDMAX = (TJMAX - TA) / JA or the number given in Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. For the LM4954, see power derating curves for additional information. Note 4: Human body model, 100pF discharged through a 1.5k resistor.

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: Shutdown current is measured in a normal room environment. Exposure to direct sunlight in the TL package will increase ISD by a minimum of 2A. Note 10: All bumps have the same thermal resistance and contribute equally when used to lower thermal resistance. The JA in the Thermal Resistance section is for the ITL package without any heat spreading planes on the PCB. Note 11: The demo board shown has 1.1in2 (710mm2) heat spreading planes on the two internal layers and the bottom layer. The bottom internal layer is electrically VDD while the top internal and bottom layers are electrically GND. Thermal performance for the demo board is found on the Power Derating graph in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. 7V operation requires heat spreading planes for the thermal stability.

Internal power dissipation is a function of output power. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics curves for power dissipation information for different output powers and output loading. Application Information BRIDGE CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION As shown in Figure 1, the LM4954 has two operational amplifiers internally, allowing for a few different amplifier configurations. The first amplifier's gain is externally configurable, while the second amplifier is internally fixed in a unity-gain, inverting configuration. The closed-loop gain of the first amplifier is set by selecting the ratio of Rf to Ri while the second amplifier's gain is fixed by the two internal 20k resistors. Figure 1 shows that the output of amplifier one serves as the input to amplifier two which results in both amplifiers producing signals identical in magnitude, but out of phase by 180. Consequently, the differential gain for the IC is AVD = 2 *(Rf/Ri) POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING As with any 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. Typical applications employ a 5V regulator with 10F tantalum or electrolytic capacitor and a ceramic bypass capacitor which aid in supply stability. This does not eliminate the need for bypassing the supply nodes of the LM4954. The selection of a bypass capacitor, especially CB, is dependent upon PSRR requirements, click and pop performance (as explained in the section, Proper Selection of External Components), system cost, and size constraints. By driving the load differentially through outputs Vo1 and Vo2, an amplifier configuration commonly referred to as "bridged mode" is established. Bridged mode operation is different from the classical single-ended amplifier configuration where one side of the load is connected to ground. SHUTDOWN FUNCTION In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, the LM4954 contains a shutdown pin to externally turn off the amplifier's bias circuitry. This shutdown feature turns the amplifier off when a logic low is placed on the shutdown pin. By switching the shutdown pin to ground, the LM4954 supply current draw will be minimized in idle mode. While the device will be disabled with shutdown pin voltages less than 0.4VDC, the idle current may be greater than the typical value of 0.01A. (Idle current is measured with the shutdown pin tied to ground). The LM4954 has an internal 75k pulldown resistor. If the shutdown pin is left floating the IC will automatically enter shutdown mode. A bridge amplifier design has a few distinct advantages over the single-ended configuration, as it provides differential drive to the load, thus doubling output swing for a specified supply voltage. Four times the output power is possible as compared to a single-ended amplifier under the same conditions. This increase in attainable output power assumes that the amplifier is not current limited or clipped. In order to choose an amplifier's closed-loop gain without causing excessive clipping, please refer to the Audio Power Amplifier Design section. A bridge configuration, such as the one used in LM4954, also creates a second advantage over single-ended amplifiers. Since the differential outputs, Vo1 and Vo2, are biased at half-supply, no net DC voltage exists across the load. This eliminates the need for an output coupling capacitor which is required in a single supply, single-ended amplifier configuration. Without an output coupling capacitor, the half-supply bias across the load would result in both increased internal IC power dissipation and also possible loudspeaker damage. 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 LM4954 is tolerant of external component combinations, consideration to component values must be used to maximize overall system quality. The LM4954 is unity-gain stable which gives the designer maximum system flexibility. The LM4954 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 1 Vrms are available from sources such as audio codecs. Please refer to the section, Audio Power Amplifier Design, for a more complete explanation of proper gain selection. 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. The input coupling capacitor, Ci, forms a first order high pass filter which limits low frequency response. This value should be chosen based on needed frequency response for a few distinct reasons. POWER DISSIPATION Power dissipation is a major concern when designing a successful amplifier, whether the amplifier is bridged or single-ended. A direct consequence of the increased power delivered to the load by a bridge amplifier is an increase in internal power dissipation. Since the LM4954 has two operational amplifiers in one package, the maximum internal power dissipation is four times that of a single-ended amplifier. The maximum power dissipation for a given application can be derived from the power dissipation graphs or from Equation 1. (1) PDMAX = 4*(VDD)2/(22RL) It is critical that the maximum junction temperature (TJMAX) of 150C is not exceeded. TJMAX can be determined from the power derating curves by using PDMAX and the PC board foil area. By adding additional copper foil, the thermal resistance of the application can be reduced from the free air value, resulting in higher PDMAX. Additional copper foil can be added to any of the leads connected to the LM4954. It is especially effective when connected to VDD, GND, and the output pins. Refer to the application information on the LM4954 reference design board for an example of good heat sinking. If TJMAX still exceeds 150C, then additional changes must be made. These changes can include rewww.national.com Selection Of Input Capacitor Size Large input 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. But in many cases the speakers used in portable systems, whether internal or external, have little ability to 10 AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER DESIGN A designer must first determine the minimum supply rail to obtain the specified output power. By extrapolating from the Output Power vs Supply Voltage graphs in the Typical Performance Characteristics section, the supply rail can be easily found. 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 Dissipation section. Once the power dissipation equations have been addressed, the required differential gain can be determined from Equation 2. (Continued) reproduce signals below 100Hz to 150Hz. Thus, using a large input capacitor may not increase actual system performance. In addition to system cost and size, click and pop performance is affected by the size of the input coupling capacitor, Ci. A larger input coupling capacitor requires more charge to reach its quiescent DC voltage (nominally 1/2VDD). This charge comes from the output via the feedback and is apt to create pops upon device enable. Thus, by minimizing the capacitor size based on necessary low frequency response, turn-on pops can be minimized. Besides minimizing the input capacitor size, careful consideration should be paid to the bypass capacitor value. Choosing CB equal to 2.2F along with a small value of Ci (in the range of 0.1F to 0.39F), should produce a virtually clickless and popless shutdown function. While the device will function properly, (no oscillations or motorboating), with CB equal to 0.1F. (2) AVD = (Rf/Ri) 2 20129108 FIGURE 2. HIGHER GAIN AUDIO AMPLIFIER taken when calculating the -3dB frequency in that an incorrect combination of RF and CF will cause rolloff before 20kHz. A typical combination of feedback resistor and capacitor that will not produce audio band high frequency rolloff is RF = 20k and CF = 25pf. These components result in a -3dB point of approximately 320 kHz. To calculate the value of the capacitor for a given -3dB point, use Equation 3 below: (3) CF = 1/(2f3dBRF) (F) The LM4954 is unity-gain stable and requires no external components besides gain-setting resistors, an input coupling capacitor, and proper supply bypassing in the typical application. However, if a closed-loop differential gain of greater than 10 is required, a feedback capacitor (CF) may be needed as shown in Figure 2 to bandwidth limit the amplifier. This feedback capacitor creates a low pass filter that eliminates possible high frequency oscillations.

Designers should note that these are only "rule-of-thumb" recommendations and the actual results will depend heavily on the final layout. Single-Point Power / Ground Connections The analog power traces should be connected to the digital traces through a single point (link). A "Pi-filter" can be helpful in minimizing high frequency noise coupling between the analog and digital sections. It is further recommended to put digital and analog power traces over the corresponding digital and analog ground traces to minimize noise coupling. GENERAL MIXED SIGNAL LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS Placement of Digital and Analog Components All digital components and high-speed digital signals traces should be located as far away as possible from analog components and circuit traces. Power and Ground Circuits For a two layer mixed signal design, it is important to isolate the digital power and ground trace paths from the analog power and ground trace paths. Star trace routing techniques (bringing individual traces back to a central point rather than daisy chaining traces together in a serial manner) can have a major impact on low level signal performance. Star trace routing refers to using individual traces to feed power and ground to each circuit or even device. This technique requires a greater amount of design time but will not increase the final price of the board. The only extra parts required may be some jumpers. www.national.com Comment Avoiding Typical Design / Layout Problems Avoid ground loops or running digital and analog traces parallel to each other (side-by-side) on the same PCB layer. When traces must cross over each other do it at 90 degrees. Running digital and analog traces at 90 degrees to each other from the top to the bottom side as much as possible will minimize capacitive noise coupling and cross talk. 14 LM4954 Revision History Rev Date Description 1.1 4/29/05 Added curves 71 and 72.
