LM49370
Audio Sub-System with an Ultra Low EMI, Spread
Spectrum, Class D Loudspeaker Amplifier, a Dual-Mode
Stereo Headphone Amplifier, and a Dedicated PCM
Interface for Bluetooth Transceivers
1.0 General Description
The LM49370 is an integrated audio subsystem that supports
both analog and digital audio functions. The LM49370 in-
cludes a high quality stereo DAC, a mono ADC, a stereo
headphone amplifier, which supports output cap-less (OCL)
or AC-coupled (SE) modes of operation, a mono earpiece
amplifier, and an ultra-low EMI spread spectrum Class D
loudspeaker amplifier. It is designed for demanding applica-
tions in mobile phones and other portable devices.
The LM49370 features a bi-directional I2S interface and a bi-
directional PCM interface for full range audio on either inter-
face. The LM49370 utilizes an I2C or SPI compatible interface
for control. The stereo DAC path features an SNR of 85 dB
with an 18-bit 48 kHz input. In SE mode the headphone am-
plifier delivers at least 33 mWRMS to a 32Ω single-ended
stereo load with less than 1% distortion (THD+N) when
A_VDD = 3.3V. The mono earpiece amplifier delivers at least
115mWRMS to a 32Ω bridged-tied load with less than 1% dis-
tortion (THD+N) when A_VDD = 3.3V. The mono speaker
amplifier delivers up to 490mW into an 8Ω load with less than
1% distortion when LS_VDD = 3.3V and up to 1.2W when
LS_VDD = 5.0V.
The LM49370 employs advanced techniques to reduce pow-
er consumption, to reduce controller overhead, to speed de-
velopment time, and to eliminate click and pop. Boomer audio
power amplifiers were designed specifically to provide high
quality output power with a minimal amount of external com-
ponents. It is therefore ideally suited for mobile phone and
other low voltage applications where minimal power con-
sumption, PCB area and cost are primary requirements.
