AC current flows through a headphone speaker as an audio signal's output amplitude increases on the speaker's terminal. The headphone jack's sleeve is not connected to circuit ground when used in OCL mode. Using the headphone output jack as a line-level output will place the LM4911/LM4911Q's 1/2 VDD bias voltage on a plug's sleeve connection. This presents no difficulty when the external equipment uses capacitively coupled inputs. For the very small minority of equipment that is DC coupled, the LM4911/LM4911Q monitors the current supplied by the amplifier that drives the headphone jack's sleeve. If this current exceeds 500mAPK, the amplifier is shutdown, protecting the LM4911/LM4911Q and the external equipment. Application Information AMPLIFIER CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION As shown in Figure 1, the LM4911/LM4911Q has three operational amplifiers internally. Two of the amplifier's have externally configurable gain while the other amplifier is internally fixed at the bias point acting as a unity-gain buffer. The closed-loop gain of the two configurable amplifiers is set by selecting the ratio of Rf to Ri. Consequently, the gain for each channel of the IC is AVD = -(Rf / Ri) By driving the loads through outputs VoA and VoB with VoC acting as a buffered bias voltage the LM4911/LM4911Q does not require output coupling capacitors. The classical singleended amplifier configuration where one side of the load is connected to ground requires large, expensive output coupling capacitors. A configuration such as the one used in the LM4911/ LM4911Q has a major advantage over single supply, singleended amplifiers. Since the outputs VoA, VoB, and VoC are all biased at 1/2 VDD, no net DC voltage exists across each load. This eliminates the need for output coupling capacitors which are required in a single-supply, single-ended amplifier configuration. Without output coupling capacitors in a typical single-supply, single-ended amplifier, the bias voltage is placed across the load resulting in both increased internal IC power dissipation and possible loudspeaker damage. MODE SELECT DETAIL The LM4911/LM4911Q may be set up to operate in one of two modes: OCL and cap-coupled. The default state of the LM4911/LM4911Q at power up is cap-coupled. During initial power up or return from shutdown, the LM4911/LM4911Q must detect the correct mode of operation (OCL or cap-coupled) by sensing the status of the VOC pin. When the bias voltage of the part ramps up to 60mV (as seen on the Bypass pin), an internal comparator detects the status of VOC; and at 80mV, latches that value in place. Ramp up of the bias voltage will proceed at a different rate from this point on depending upon operating mode. OCL mode will ramp up about 11 times faster than cap-coupled. Shutdown is not a valid command during this time period (TWU) and should not enabled to ensure a proper power on reset (POR) signal. In addition, the slew rate of VDD must be greater than 2.5V/ms to ensure reliable POR. Recommended power up timing is shown in Figure 5 along with proper usage of Shutdown and Mute. The mode select circuit is suspended during CB discharge time. The circuit shown in Figure 4 presents an applications solution to the problem of using different supply voltages with different turn-on times in a system with the LM4911/ LM4911Q. This circuit shows the LM4911/LM4911Q with a 25-50k pull-up resistor connected from the shutdown pin to VDD. The shutdown pin of the LM4911/LM4911Q is also being driven by an open drain output of an external microcontroller on a separate supply. This circuit ensures that shutdown is disabled when powering up the LM4911/LM4911Q by either allowing shutdown to be high before the LM4911/LM4911Q powers on (the microcontroller powers up first) or allows shutdown to ramp up with VDD (the LM4911/LM4911Q powers up first). This will ensure the LM4911/LM4911Q powers up properly and enters the correct mode of operation (cap-coupled or OCL). OUTPUT CAPACITOR vs. CAPACITOR COUPLED The LM4911/LM4911Q is an stereo audio power amplifier capable of operating in two distinct output modes: capacitor coupled (C-CUPL) or output capacitor-less (OCL). The LM4911/LM4911Q may be run in capacitor coupled mode by using a coupling capacitor on each single-ended output (VoA and VoB) and connecting VoC to ground. This output coupling capacitor blocks the half supply voltage to which the output amplifiers are typically biased and couples the audio signal to the headphones or other single-ended (SE) load. The signal return to circuit ground is through the headphone jack's sleeve. The LM4911/LM4911Q can also eliminate these output coupling capacitors by running in OCL mode. Unless shorted to ground, VoC is internally configured to apply a 1/2 VDD bias voltage to a stereo headphone jack's sleeve. This voltage matches the bias voltage present on VoA and VoB outputs that drive the headphones. The headphones operate in a manner similar to a bridge-tied load (BTL). Because the same DC voltage is applied to both headphone speaker terminals this www.national.com 18 LM4911/LM4911Q 200314b6 FIGURE 4.

POWER DISSIPATION Power dissipation is a major concern when using any power amplifier and must be thoroughly understood to ensure a successful design. When operating in capacitor-coupled mode, Equation 1 states the maximum power dissipation point for a single-ended amplifier operating at a given supply voltage and driving a specified output load. PDMAX = (VDD) 2 / (22RL) POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING As with any amplifier, proper supply bypassing is important for low noise performance and high power supply rejection. The capacitor location on the power supply pins should be as close to the device as possible. Typical applications employ a 3V regulator with 10mF 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 LM4911/LM4911Q. A bypass capacitor value in the range of 0.1F to 1F is recommended for CS. (1) Since the LM4911/LM4911Q has two operational amplifiers in one package, the maximum internal power dissipation point is twice that of the number which results from Equation 1. From Equation 1, assuming a 3V power supply and an 32 load, the maximum power dissipation point is 14mW per amplifier. Thus the maximum package dissipation point is 28mW. MICRO POWER SHUTDOWN The voltage applied to the SHUTDOWN pin controls the LM4911/LM4911Q's shutdown function. Activate micro-power shutdown by applying a logic-low voltage to the SHUTDOWN pin. When active, the LM4911/LM4911Q's micropower shutdown feature turns off the amplifier's bias circuitry, reducing the supply current. The trigger point varies depending on supply voltage and is shown in the Shutdown Hysteresis Voltage graphs in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. The low 0.1A(typ) shutdown current is achieved by applying a voltage that is as near as ground as possible to the SHUTDOWN pin. A voltage that is higher than ground may increase the shutdown current. There are a few ways to control the micro-power shutdown. These include using a singlepole, single-throw switch, a microprocessor, or a microcontroller. When using a switch, connect an external 100k pullup resistor between the SHUTDOWN pin and VDD. Connect the switch between the SHUTDOWN pin and ground. Select normal amplifier operation by opening the switch. Closing the switch connects the SHUTDOWN pin to ground, activating micro-power shutdown. The switch and resistor guarantee that the SHUTDOWN pin will not float. This prevents unwanted state changes. In a system with a microprocessor or microcontroller, use a digital output to apply the control voltage to the SHUTDOWN pin. Driving the SHUTDOWN pin with active circuitry eliminates the pull-up resistor. Shutdown enable/disable times are controlled by a combination of CB and VDD. Larger values of CB results in longer turn on/off times from Shutdown. Smaller VDD values also increase turn on/off time for a given value of CB. Longer shutdown times also improve the LM4911/LM4911Q's resistance to click and pop upon entering or returning from shutdown. For a 2.4V supply and CB = 4.7F, the LM4911/LM4911Q requires about 2 seconds to enter or return from shutdown. This longer shutdown time enables the LM4911/LM4911Q to have virtually zero pop and click transients upon entering or release from shutdown. Smaller values of CB will decrease turn-on time, but at the cost of increased pop and click and reduced PSRR. Since shutdown enable/disable times increase dramatically as supply voltage gets below 2.2V, this reduced turn-on time may be desirable if extreme low supply voltage levels are used as this would offset increases in turn-on time caused by the lower supply voltage. This technique is not recommended for OCL mode since shutdown enable/disable times are very fast (0.5s) independent of supply voltage. When in cap-coupled mode, some restrictions on the usage of Mute are in effect when entering or returning from shutdown. These restrictions require Mute not be toggled immediately following a return or entrance to shutdown for a brief When operating in OCL mode, the maximum power dissipation increases due to the use of the third amplifier as a buffer and is given in Equation 2: PDMAX = 4(VDD) 2 / (2RL) (2) The maximum power dissipation point obtained from either Equation 1 or 2 must not be greater than the power dissipation that results from Equation 3: PDMAX = (TJMAX - TA) / JA (3) For package MUB10A, JA = 190C/W; for package LDA10A, JA = 63C/W. TJMAX = 150C for the LM4911/LM4911Q. Depending on the ambient temperature, TA, of the system surroundings, Equation 3 can be used to find the maximum internal power dissipation supported by the IC packaging. If the result of Equation 1 or 2 is greater than that of Equation 3, then either the supply voltage must be decreased, the load impedance increased or TA reduced. For the typical application of a 3V power supply, with a 32 load, the maximum ambient temperature possible without violating the maximum junction temperature is approximately 144C provided that device operation is around the maximum power dissipation point. Thus, for typical applications, power dissipation is not an issue. Power dissipation is a function of output power and thus, if typical operation is not around the maximum power dissipation point, the ambient temperature may be increased accordingly. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics curves for power dissipation information for lower output powers. EXPOSED-DAP PACKAGE PCB MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS The LM4911/LM4911Q's exposed-DAP (die attach paddle) package (LD) provides a low thermal resistance between the die and the PCB to which the part is mounted and soldered. This allows rapid heat transfer from the die to the surrounding PCB copper traces, ground plane, and surrounding air. The LD package should have its DAP soldered to a copper pad on the PCB. The DAP's PCB copper pad may be connected to a large plane of continuous unbroken copper. This plane forms a thermal mass, heat sink, and radiation area. Further detailed and specific information concerning PCB layout, fabrication, and mounting an LD (LLP) package is avail- www.national.com 20 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 2 and Figure 3. 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 and turn-on time. MUTE When in C-CUPL mode, the LM4911/LM4911Q also features a mute function that enables extremely fast turn-on/turn-off with a minimum of output pop and click with a low current consumption ( 100A). The mute function leaves the outputs at their bias level, thus resulting in higher power consumption than shutdown mode, but also provides much faster turn on/ off times. Mute mode is enabled by providing a logic high signal on the MUTE pin in the opposite manner as the shutdown function described above. Threshold voltages and activation techniques match those given for the shutdown function as well. Mute may not appear to function when the LM4911/LM4911Q is used to drive high impedance loads. This is because the LM4911/LM4911Q relies on a typical headphone load (16-32) to reduce input signal feedthrough through the input and feedback resistors. Mute attenuation can thus be calculated by the following formula: SELECTION OF INPUT CAPACITOR SIZE Amplifying the lowest audio frequencies requires a high value input coupling capacitor, Ci. A high value capacitor can be expensive and may compromise space efficiency in portable designs. In many cases, however, the headphones used in portable systems have little ability to reproduce signals below 60Hz. Applications using headphones with this limited frequency response reap little improvement by using a high value input capacitor. In addition to system cost and size, turn on time 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. This charge comes from the output via the feedback Thus, by minimizing the capacitor size based on necessary low frequency response, turn-on time can be minimized. A small value of Ci (in the range of 0.1F to 0.39F), is recommended. Mute Attenuation (dB) = 20Log(RL / (Ri+RF) Parallel load resistance may be necessary to achieve satisfactory Mute levels when the application load is known to be high impedance. The mute function is not necessary when the LM4911/ LM4911Q is operating in OCL mode since the shutdown function operates quickly in OCL mode with less power consumption than mute. Mute may be enabled during shutdown transitions, but should not be toggled for a brief period immediately after exiting or entering shutdown. These brief time periods are labeled X1 (time after returning from shutdown) and X2 (time after entering shutdown) and are shown in the timing diagram given in Figure 5. X1 occurs immediately following a return from shutdown (TWU) and lasts 40ms25%. X2 occurs after the part is placed in shutdown and the decay of the bias voltage has occurred (2.2*400k*CB for cap-coupled and 2.2*100k*CB for OCL) and lasts for 100ms25%. The timing of these transition periods relative to X1 and X2 is also shown in Figure 5. Mute should not be toggled during these time periods, but may be made during the shutdown transitions or any other time the part is in normal operation (while in capcoupled mode - Mute is not valid in OCL mode). Failure to operate mute correctly may result in much higher click and pop values or failure of the device to mute at all. AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER DESIGN A 25mW/32 AUDIO AMPLIFIER Given: Power Output Load Impedance Input Level Input Impedance 25mWrms 32 1Vrms 20k 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. 3V is a standard voltage in most applications, it is chosen for the supply rail. Extra supply voltage creates headroom that allows the LM4911/LM4911Q to reproduce peak in excess of 25mW without producing audible distortion. 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 gain can be determined from Equation 2. 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 LM4911/LM4911Q is tolerant of external component combinations, consideration to component values must be used to maximize overall system quality. The LM4911/LM4911Q is unity-gain stable which gives the designer maximum system flexibility. The LM4911/LM4911Q 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 1Vrms are available from sources such as audio codecs. Very large values should not be used for the gain-setting resistors. Values for Ri and Rf should be less than 1M. Please refer to the section, (4) From Equation 4, the minimum AV is 0.89; use AV = 1. Since the desired input impedance is 20k, and with a AV gain of 1, a ratio of 1:1 results from Equation 1 for Rf to Ri. The values are chosen with Ri = 20k and Rf = 20k. The final design step is to address the bandwidth requirements which must be stated as a pair of -3dB frequency points. Five times away from a -3dB point is 0.17dB down from passband response which is better than the required 0.25dB specified. fL = 100Hz/5 = 20Hz 21 www.national.com LM4911/LM4911Q period. These periods are shown as X1 and X2 and are discussed in greater detail in the Mute section as well as shown in Figure 5. LM4911/LM4911Q fH = 20kHz * 5 = 100kHz power supply hum. This hum may occur in applications such as notebook computers in a shutdown condition and connected to an external powered speaker. The resistor's 100 value is a suggested starting point. Its final value must be determined based on the tradeoff between the amount of noise suppression that may be needed and minimizing the additional current drawn by the resistor (25mA for a 100 resistor and a 5V supply). As stated in the External Components section, Ri in conjunction with Ci creates a Ci 1 / (2 * 20k * 20Hz) = 0.397F; use 0.39F. The high frequency pole is determined by the product of the desired frequency pole, fH, and the differential gain, AV. With an AV = 1 and fH = 100kHz, the resulting GBWP = 100kHz which is much smaller than the LM4911/LM4911Q GBWP of 10MHz. This figure displays that is a designer has a need to design an amplifier with higher differential gain, the LM4911/ LM4911Q can still be used without running into bandwidth limitations. Figure 4 shows an optional resistor connected between the amplifier output that drives the headphone jack sleeve and ground. This resistor provides a ground path that suppressed ESD PROTECTION As stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, the LM4911/ LM4911Q has a maximum ESD susceptibility rating of 2000V. For higher ESD voltages, the addition of a PCDN042 dual transil (from California Micro Devices), as shown in Figure 6, will provide additional protection. 200314b4 FIGURE 6.
