LM4854
1.9W Monaural, 85mW Stereo Headphone Audio
Amplifier
General Description
The unity-gain stable LM4854 is both a mono differential
output (for bridge-tied loads, or BTL) audio power amplifier
and a single-ended (SE) stereo headphone amplifier. Oper-
ating on a single 5V supply, the mono BTL mode delivers
1.1W (typ) to an 8
load, 1.7W (typ) to a 4 load (Note 1) at
1% THD+N. In SE stereo mode, the amplifier will deliver
85mW to 32
loads. The LM4854 features a new circuit
topology that suppresses output transients (’click and pops’)
and eliminates SE-mode output coupling capacitors, saving
both component and board space costs. The LM4854 has
three inputs: one pair for a two-channel stereo signal and the
third for a single-channel mono input.
The LM4854 is designed for PDA, cellular telephone, note-
book, and other handheld portable applications. It delivers
high quality output power from a surface-mount package and
requires few external components. Other features include an
active-low micropower shutdown mode, an "instant-on" low
power standby mode, and thermal shutdown protection.
The LM4854 is available in the very space-efficient 12-lead
micro SMD, exposed-DAP LLP for higher power applica-
tions, and TSSOP packages.
Note 1: An LM4854LD that has been properly mounted to a circuit board will
deliver 1.7W (typ) into a 4
load.
