Operating on a 12V power supply, the LM4950 will deliver 7.5W into an 8 BTL load with no more than 10% THD+N. Figure 65. Typical LM4950 BTL Application Circuit BRIDGE CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION As shown in Figure 65, the LM4950 consists of two operational amplifiers that drive a speaker connected between their outputs. The value of external input and feedback resistors determine the gain of each amplifier. Resistors RINA and RFA set the closed-loop gain of AMPA, whereas two 20k resistors set AMPB's gain to -1. The LM4950 drives a load, such as a speaker, connected between the two amplifier outputs, VOUTA and VOUTB. Figure 65 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) (1) 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 singleended 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 AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER DESIGN. 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. 16 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2003-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM4950 LM4950 www.ti.com SNAS174E - JULY 2003 - REVISED MAY 2013 POWER DISSIPATION Power dissipation is a major concern when designing a successful single-ended or bridged amplifier. Equation 2 states the maximum power dissipation point for a single-ended amplifier operating at a given supply voltage and driving a specified output load. PDMAX-SE = (VDD) 2/ (22RL): Single Ended (2) The LM4950's dissipation is twice the value given by Equation 2 when driving two SE loads. For a 12V supply and two 8 SE loads, the LM4950's dissipation is 1.82W. The LM4950's dissipation when driving a BTL load is given by Equation 3. For a 12V supply and a single 8 BTL load, the dissipation is 3.65W. PDMAX-MONOBTL = 4(VDD) 2/ 22RL: Bridge Mode (3) The maximum power dissipation point given by Equation 3 must not exceed the power dissipation given by Equation 4: PDMAX' = (TJMAX - TA) / JA (4) The LM4950's TJMAX = 150C. In the KTW package, the LM4950's JA is 20C/W when the metal tab is soldered to a copper plane of at least 16in2. 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 a 5x5 array of vias. For the NEC package, use an external heatsink with a thermal impedance that is less than 20C/W. At any given ambient temperature TA, use Equation 4 to find the maximum internal power dissipation supported by the IC packaging. Rearranging Equation 4 and substituting PDMAX for PDMAX' results in Equation 5. This equation gives the maximum ambient temperature that still allows maximum stereo power dissipation without violating the LM4950's maximum junction temperature. TA = TJMAX - PDMAX-MONOBTLJA (5) For a typical application with a 12V 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 77C for the KTW package. TJMAX = PDMAX-MONOBTLJA + TA (6) Equation 6 gives the maximum junction temperature TJMAX. If the result violates the LM4950'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 3 is greater than that of Equation 4, then decrease the supply voltage, increase the load impedance, or reduce the ambient temperature. Further, ensure that speakers rated at a nominal 4 (SE operation) or 8 (BTL operation) do not fall below 3 or 6, respectively. 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. 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 Absolute Maximum Ratings section. 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 LM4950's supply pins and ground. Do not substitute a ceramic capacitor for the tantalum. Doing so may cause oscillation. Keep the length of leads and traces that connect capacitors between the LM4950's power supply pin and ground as short as possible.

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 SELECTING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS), system cost, and size constraints. MICRO-POWER SHUTDOWN The LM4950 features an active-low micro-power shutdown mode. When active, the LM4950's micro-power shutdown feature turns off the amplifier's bias circuitry, reducing the supply current. The low 40A 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 a 100k pull-up resistor between the SHUTDOWN pin and VDD and a second 100k resistor in parallel with the SPST switch connected between the SHUTDOWN pin and GND. The two resistors form a voltage divider that ensures that the voltage applied to the SHUTDOWN pin does not exceed VDD/2. Select normal amplifier operation by opening the switch. Closing the switch applies GND to the SHUTDOWN pin, activating micro-power shutdown. The switch and resistor ensure 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. Again, ensure that the microcontroller or microprocessor logic-high signal does not exceed the LM4950's VDD/2 SHUTDOWN signal limit. 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 65, the input resistor (RIN) and the input capacitor (CIN) produce a high pass filter cutoff frequency that is found using Equation 7. fc = 1/2RiCi (7) As an example when using a speaker with a low frequency limit of 50Hz, Ci, using Equation 7 is 0.159F. The 0.39F CINA shown in Figure 65 allows the LM4950 to drive high efficiency, full range speaker whose response extends below 30Hz. Bypass Capacitor Value Besides minimizing the input capacitor size, careful consideration should be paid to value of CBYPASS, the capacitor connected to the BYPASS pin. Since CBYPASS determines how fast the LM4950 settles to quiescent operation, its value is critical when minimizing turn-on pops. The slower the LM4950's outputs ramp to their quiescent DC voltage (nominally VDD/2), the smaller the turn-on pop. Choosing CBYPASS equal to 10F along with a small value of CIN (in the range of 0.1F to 0.39F), produces a click-less and pop-less shutdown function. As discussed above, choosing CIN no larger than necessary for the desired bandwidth helps minimize clicks and pops. OPTIMIZING CLICK AND POP REDUCTION PERFORMANCE The LM4950 contains circuitry that eliminates turn-on and shutdown transients ("clicks and pops"). For this discussion, 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 LM4950's internal amplifiers are configured as unity gain buffers and are disconnected from the AMPA and AMPB pins. 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 applied to the BYPASS pin. 18 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2003-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM4950 LM4950 www.ti.com SNAS174E - JULY 2003 - REVISED MAY 2013 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, the device becomes fully operational and the amplifier outputs are reconnected to their respective output pins. Although the BYPASS pin current cannot be modified, changing the size of CBYPASS alters the device's turn-on time. Here are some typical turn-on times for various values of CBYPASS: CB (F) TON (ms) 1.0 120 2.2 120 4.7 200 10 440 In order eliminate "clicks and pops", all capacitors must be discharged before turn-on. Rapidly switching VDD may not allow the capacitors to fully discharge, which may cause "clicks and pops". There is a relationship between the value of CIN and CBYPASS that ensures minimum output transient when power is applied or the shutdown mode is deactivated. Best performance is achieved by setting the time constant created by CIN and Ri + Rf to a value less than the turn-on time for a given value of CBYPASS as shown in the table above. DRIVING PIEZO-ELECTRIC SPEAKER TRANSDUCERS The LM4950 is able to drive capacitive piezo-electric transducer loads that are less than equal to 200nF. Stable operation is assured by placing 33pF capacitors in parallel with the 20k feedback resistors. The additional capacitors are shown in Figure 66. When driving piezo-electric tranducers, sound quality and accoustic power is entirely dependent upon a transducer's frequency response and efficiency. In this application, power dissipated by the LM4950 is very low, typically less than 250mW when driving a 200nF piezo-electric transduce (VDD = 12V).

Piezo-electric Transducer Capacitance 200nF AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER DESIGN Audio Amplifier Design: Driving 4W into an 8 BTL The following are the desired operational parameters: Power Output 4WRMS Load Impedance 8 Input Level 0.3VRMS (max) Input Impedance 20k Bandwidth 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 Typical Performance Characteristics section. Another way, using Equation 8, 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 Typical Performance Characteristics, must be added to the result obtained by Equation 8. The result is Equation 9. (8) (9) VDD = VOUTPEAK + VODTOP + VODBOT 20 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2003-2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM4950 LM4950 www.ti.com SNAS174E - JULY 2003 - REVISED MAY 2013 The Output Power vs. Power Supply Voltage graph in Typical Performance Characteristics for an 8 load indicates a minimum supply voltage of 10.2V. The commonly used 12V supply voltage easily meets this. The additional voltage creates the benefit of headroom, allowing the LM4950 to produce peak output power in excess of 4W 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 in the POWER DISSIPATION section. After satisfying the LM4950's power dissipation requirements, the minimum differential gain needed to achieve 4W dissipation in an 8 BTL load is found using Equation 10. (10) Thus, a minimum gain of 18.9 allows the LM4950's to reach full output swing and maintain low noise and THD+N performance. For this example, let AV-BTL = 19. The amplifier's overall BTL gain is set using the input (RINA) and feedback (R) resistors of the first amplifier in the series BTL configuration. Additionaly, AV-BTL is twice the gain set by the first amplifier's RIN and Rf. With the desired input impedance set at 20k, the feedback resistor is found using Equation 11. Rf/ RIN = AV-BTL/ 2 (11) The value of Rf is 190k (choose 191k, the closest value). The nominal output power is 4W. 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 (12) and an fL = 20kHz x 5 = 100kHz (13) As mentioned in SELECTING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS, RINA and CINA create a highpass filter that sets the amplifier's lower bandpass frequency limit. Find the coupling capacitor's value using Equation 14. Ci = 1 / 2RINfL (14) The result is 1 / (2x20kx10Hz) = 0.795F (15) 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 LM4950'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.
