Operating on a 7.5V power supply, the LM4951 will deliver 1.8W into an 8 BTL load with no more than 1% THD +N. The LM4951's TJMAX = 150C. In the SD package, the LM4951's JA is 73C/W when the metal tab is soldered to a copper plane of at least 1in2. This plane can be split between the top and bottom layers of a two-sided PCB. Connect the two layers together under the tab with an array of vias. At any given ambient temperature TA, use Equation (3) to find the maximum internal power dissipation supported by the IC packaging. Rearranging Equation (3) and substituting PDMAX for PDMAX' results in Equation (4). This equation gives the maximum ambient temperature that still allows maximum stereo power dissipation without violating the LM4951's maximum junction temperature. BRIDGE CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION As shown in Figure 1, the LM4951 consists of two operational amplifiers that drive a speaker connected between their outputs. The value of input and feedback resistors determine the gain of each amplifier. External resistors Ri and Rf set the closed-loop gain of AMPA, whereas two 20k internal resistors set AMPB's gain to -1. The LM4951 drives a load, such as a speaker, connected between the two amplifier outputs, VO+ and VO -. Figure 1 shows that AMPA's output serves as AMPB's input. This results in both amplifiers producing signals identical in magnitude, but 180 out of phase. Taking advantage of this phase difference, a load is placed between AMPA and AMPB and driven differentially (commonly referred to as "bridge mode"). This results in a differential, or BTL, gain of AVD = 2(Rf / Ri) TA = TJMAX - PDMAX-MONOBTLJA (1) TJMAX = PDMAX-MONOBTLJA + TA (5) Equation (5) gives the maximum junction temperature TJMAX. If the result violates the LM4951's 150C, reduce the maximum junction temperature by reducing the power supply voltage or increasing the load resistance. Further allowance should be made for increased ambient temperatures. The above examples assume that a device is operating around the maximum power dissipation point. Since internal power dissipation is a function of output power, higher ambient temperatures are allowed as output power or duty cycle decreases. If the result of Equation (2) is greater than that of Equation (3), then decrease the supply voltage, increase the load impedance, or reduce the ambient temperature. Further, ensure that speakers rated at a nominal 8 do not fall below 6. If these measures are insufficient, a heat sink can be added to reduce JA. The heat sink can be created using additional copper area around the package, with connections to the ground pins, supply pin and amplifier output pins. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics curves for power dissipation information at lower output power levels. Another advantage of the differential bridge output is no net DC voltage across the load. This is accomplished by biasing AMP1's and AMP2's outputs at half-supply. This eliminates the coupling capacitor that single supply, single-ended amplifiers require. Eliminating an output coupling capacitor in a typical single-ended configuration forces a single-supply amplifier's half-supply bias voltage across the load. This increases internal IC power dissipation and may permanently damage loads such as speakers. POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE LIMITS Continuous proper operation is ensured by never exceeding the voltage applied to any pin, with respect to ground, as listed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section. POWER DISSIPATION Power dissipation is a major concern when designing a successful bridged amplifier. The LM4951's dissipation when driving a BTL load is given by Equation (2). For a 7.5V supply and a single 8 BTL load, the dissipation is 1.42W. POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING As with any power amplifier, proper supply bypassing is critical for low noise performance and high power supply rejection. Applications that employ a voltage regulator typically use a 10F in parallel with a 0.1F filter capacitors to stabilize the regulator's output, reduce noise on the supply line, and improve the supply's transient response. However, their presence does not eliminate the need for a local 1.0F tantalum bypass capacitance connected between the LM4951's supply pins and ground. Do not substitute a ceramic capacitor for the tantalum. Doing so may cause oscillation. Keep the length of (2) The maximum power dissipation point given by Equation (2) must not exceed the power dissipation given by Equation (3): www.national.com (4) For a typical application with a 7.5V power supply and a BTL 8 load, the maximum ambient temperature that allows maximum stereo power dissipation without exceeding the maximum junction temperature is approximately 46C for the TS package. Bridge mode amplifiers are different from single-ended amplifiers that drive loads connected between a single amplifier's output and ground. For a given supply voltage, bridge mode has a distinct advantage over the single-ended configuration: its differential output doubles the voltage swing across the load. Theoretically, this produces four times the output power when compared to a single-ended amplifier under the same conditions. This increase in attainable output power assumes that the amplifier is not current limited and that the output signal is not clipped. To ensure minimum output signal clipping when choosing an amplifier's closed-loop gain, refer to the AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER DESIGN section. Under rare conditions, with unique combinations of high power supply voltage and high closed loop gain settings, the LM4951 may exhibit low frequency oscillations. PDMAX-MONOBTL = 4(VDD) 2 / 22RL: Bridge Mode (3) 12 MICRO-POWER SHUTDOWN The LM4951 features an active-low micro-power shutdown mode. When active, the LM4951's micro-power shutdown feature turns off the amplifier's bias circuitry, reducing the supply current. The low 0.01A typical shutdown current is achieved by applying a voltage to the SHUTDOWN pin that is as near to GND as possible. A voltage that is greater than GND may increase the shutdown current. There are a few methods to control the micro-power shutdown. These include using a single-pole, single-throw switch (SPST), a microprocessor, or a microcontroller. When using a switch, connect the SPST switch between the shutdown pin and VDD. Select normal amplifier operation by closing the switch. Opening the switch applies GND to the SHUTDOWN pin activating micro-power shutdwon.The switch and internal pull-down resistor guarantee that the SHUTDOWN pin will not float. This prevents unwanted state changes. In a system with a microprocessor or a microcontroller, use a digital output to apply the active-state voltage to the SHUTDOWN pin. AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER DESIGN Audio Amplifier Design: Driving 1.8W into an 8 BTL The following are the desired operational parameters: Power Output 8 Load Impedance Input Level 0.3VRMS (max) Input Impedance Bandwidth 20k 50Hz-20kHz 0.25dB The design begins by specifying the minimum supply voltage necessary to obtain the specified output power. One way to find the minimum supply voltage is to use the Output Power vs Power Supply Voltage curve in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. Another way, using Equation (7), is to calculate the peak output voltage necessary to achieve the desired output power for a given load impedance. To account for the amplifier's dropout voltage, two additional voltages, based on the Clipping Dropout Voltage vs Power Supply Voltage in the Typical Performance Characteristics curves, must be added to the result obtained by Equation (7). The result is Equation (8). SELECTING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS Input Capacitor Value Selection Two quantities determine the value of the input coupling capacitor: the lowest audio frequency that requires amplification and desired output transient suppression. As shown in Figure 1, the input resistor (Ri) and the input capacitor (Ci) produce a high pass filter cutoff frequency that is found using Equation (6). fc = 1/2RiCi 1.8WRMS (7) (6) VDD = VOUTPEAK + VODTOP + VODBOT As an example when using a speaker with a low frequency limit of 50Hz, Ci, using Equation (6) is 0.159F. The 0.39F CINA shown in Figure 1 allows the LM4951 to drive high efficiency, full range speaker whose response extends below 30Hz. (8) The commonly used 7.5V supply voltage easily meets this. The additional voltage creates the benefit of headroom, allowing the LM4951 to produce peak output power in excess of 1.8W without clipping or other audible distortion. The choice of supply voltage must also not create a situation that violates of maximum power dissipation as explained above in the Power Dissipation section. After satisfying the LM4951's power dissipation requirements, the minimum differential gain needed to achieve 1.8W dissipation in an 8 BTL load is found using Equation (9). Selecting Value For RC The LM4951 is designed for very fast turn on time. The Cchg pin allows the input capacitors (CinA and CinB) to charge quickly to improve click/pop performance. Rchg1 and Rchg2 protect the Cchg pins from any over/under voltage conditions caused by excessive input signal or an active input signal when the device is in shutdown. The recommended value for Rchg1 and Rchg2 is 1k. If the input signal is less than VDD +0.3V and greater than -0.3V, and if the input signal is disabled when in shutdown mode, Rchg1 and Rchg2 may be shorted out. (9) Thus, a minimum gain of 12.6 allows the LM4951's to reach full output swing and maintain low noise and THD+N performance. For this example, let AV-BTL = 13. The amplifier's overall BTL gain is set using the input (Ri) and feedback (Rf) resistors of the first amplifier in the series BTL configuration. Additionaly, AV-BTL is twice the gain set by the first amplifier's OPTIMIZING CLICK AND POP REDUCTION PERFORMANCE The LM4951 contains circuitry that eliminates turn-on and shutdown transients ("clicks and pops"). For this discussion, 13 www.national.com LM4951 turn-on refers to either applying the power supply voltage or when the micro-power shutdown mode is deactivated. As the VDD/2 voltage present at the BYPASS pin ramps to its final value, the LM4951's internal amplifiers are configured as unity gain buffers. An internal current source charges the capacitor connected between the BYPASS pin and GND in a controlled manner. Ideally, the input and outputs track the voltage applied to the BYPASS pin. The gain of the internal amplifiers remains unity until the voltage on the bypass pin reaches VDD/2. As soon as the voltage on the bypass pin is stable, there is a delay to prevent undesirable output transients ("click and pops"). After this delay, the device becomes fully functional. leads and traces that connect capacitors between the LM4951's power supply pin and ground as short as possible. Connecting a larger capacitor, CBYPASS, between the BYPASS pin and ground improves the internal bias voltage's stability and improves the amplifier's PSRR. The PSRR improvements increase as the bypass pin capacitor value increases. Too large, however, increases turn-on time and can compromise the amplifier's click and pop performance. The selection of bypass capacitor values, especially CBYPASS, depends on desired PSRR requirements, click and pop performance (as explained in the section, SELECTING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS), system cost, and size constraints. LM4951 Ri and Rf. With the desired input impedance set at 20k, the feedback resistor is found using Equation (10). Rf / Ri = AV-BTL / 2 Ci = 1 / 2RifL (10) The result is The value of Rf is 130k (choose 191k, the closest value). The nominal output power is 1.8W. 1 / (2x20kx10Hz) = 0.795F The last step in this design example is setting the amplifier's -3dB frequency bandwidth. To achieve the desired 0.25dB pass band magnitude variation limit, the low frequency response must extend to at least one-fifth the lower bandwidth limit and the high frequency response must extend to at least five times the upper bandwidth limit. The gain variation for both response limits is 0.17dB, well within the 0.25dB-desired limit. The results are an fL = 50Hz / 5 = 10Hz (11) fL = 20kHz x 5 = 100kHz (12) Use a 0.82F capacitor, the closest standard value. The product of the desired high frequency cutoff (100kHz in this example) and the differential gain AVD, determines the upper passband response limit. With AVD = 7 and fH = 100kHz, the closed-loop gain bandwidth product (GBWP) is 700kHz. This is less than the LM4951's 3.5MHz GBWP. With this margin, the amplifier can be used in designs that require more differential gain while avoiding performance restricting bandwidth limitations.

Connect a speaker between the board's OUTA and OUTB outputs. and an As mentioned in the SELECTING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS section, Ri and Ci create a highpass filter that sets the amplifier's lower bandpass frequency limit.

Customers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All products are sold subject to TI's terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment. TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TI's standard warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily performed. TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide adequate design and operating safeguards. TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask work right, or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI to use such products or services or a warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI. Reproduction of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. 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.
