LM4810

Dual 105mW Headphone Amplifier with Active-High
Shutdown Mode

General Description

The LM4810 is a dual audio power amplifier capable of
delivering 105mW per channel of continuous average power
into a 16Ω load with 0.1% (THD+N) from a 5V power supply.

Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to
provide high quality output power with a minimal amount of
external components. Since the LM4810 does not require
bootstrap capacitors or snubber networks, it is optimally
suited for low-power portable systems.

The unity-gain stable LM4810 can be configured by external
gain-setting resistors.

The LM4810 features an externally controlled, active-high,
micropower consumption shutdown mode, as well as an
internal thermal shutdown protection mechanism.

Application Information

MICRO-POWER SHUTDOWN

The voltage applied to the SHUTDOWN pin controls the
LM4810’s shutdown function. Activate micro-power shut­down by applying a logic high voltage to the SHUTDOWN
pin. The logic threshold is typically V

DD

/2. When active, the
LM4810’s micro-power shutdown feature turns off the ampli­fier’s bias circuitry, reducing the supply current. The low

0.4µA typical shutdown current is achieved by applying a
voltage that is as near as V

DD

as possible to the SHUT-

DOWN pin. A voltage that is less than V

DD

may increase the

shutdown current.
There are a few ways to control the micro-power shutdown.

These include using a single-pole, single-throw switch, a
microprocessor, or a microcontroller. When using a switch,
connect an external 100kΩ pull-up resistor between the
SHUTDOWN pin and V

DD

. Connect the switch between the
SHUTDOWN pin and GND. Select normal amplifier opera­tion by closing the switch. Opening the switch connects the
SHUTDOWN pin to V

DD

through the pull-up resistor, 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 a 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.

EXPOSED-DAP PACKAGE PCB MOUNTING
CONSIDERATION

The LM4810’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.

However, since the LM4810 is designed for headphone ap­plications, connecting a copper plane to the DAP’s PCB

copper pad is not required. The LM4810’s Power Dissipation
vs Output Power Curve in the Typical Performance Char-
acteristics shows that the maximum power dissipated is just
45mW per amplifier with a 5V power supply and a 32Ω load.

Further detailed and specific information concerning PCB
layout, fabrication, and mounting an LD (LLP) package is
available from National Semiconductor’s Package Engineer­ing Group under application note AN1187.

POWER DISSIPATION

Power dissipation is a major concern when using any power
amplifier and must be thoroughly understood to ensure a
successful design. 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.

P

DMAX

=(VDD)2/(2π2RL) (1)

Since the LM4810 has two operational amplifiers in one
package, the maximum internal power dissipation point is
twice that of the number which results from Equation 1. Even
with the large internal power dissipation, the LM4810 does
not require heat sinking over a large range of ambient tem­perature. From Equation 1, assuming a 5V power supply and
a32Ω load, the maximum power dissipation point is 40mW
per amplifier. Thus the maximum package dissipation point
is 80mW. The maximum power dissipation point obtained
must not be greater than the power dissipation that results
from Equation 2:

the system surroundings, Equation 2 can be used to find the
maximum internal power dissipation supported by the IC
packaging. If the result of Equation 1 is greater than that of
Equation 2, then either the supply voltage must be de-

creased, the load impedance increased or T

A

reduced. For
the typical application of a 5V power supply, with a 32Ω load,
the maximum ambient temperature possible without violating
the maximum junction temperature is approximately 133.2˚C
provided that device operation is around the maximum
power dissipation point. 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 Perfor-
mance Characteristics curves for power dissipation infor­mation for lower output powers.

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 5V regulator typically
use a 10µF in parallel with a 0.1µF 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 1.0µF
tantalum bypass capacitance connected between the
LM4810’s supply pins and ground. Keep the length of leads
and traces that connect capacitors between the LM4810’s
power supply pin and ground as short as possible. Connect­ing a 4.7µF capacitor, C

B

, 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 the amplifier’s turn-on time. The
selection of bypass capacitor values, especially C

B

, depends
on desired PSRR requirements, click and pop performance
(as explained in the section, Selecting Proper External

Components), system cost, and size constraints.

SELECTING PROPER EXTERNAL COMPONENTS

Optimizing the LM4810’s performance requires properly se­lecting external components. Though the LM4810 operates
well when using external components with wide tolerances,
best performance is achieved by optimizing component val­ues.

The LM4810 is unity-gain stable, giving a designer maximum
design flexibility. The gain should be set to no more than a
given application requires. This allows the amplifier to
achieve minimum THD+N and maximum signal-to-noise ra­tio. These parameters are compromised as the closed-loop
gain increases. However, low gain demands input signals
with greater voltage swings to achieve maximum output
power. Fortunately, many signal sources such as audio
CODECs have outputs of 1V

RMS

(2.83V

P-P

). Please refer to
the Audio Power Amplifier Design section for more infor­mation on selecting the proper gain.

Input and Output Capacitor Value Selection

Amplifying the lowest audio frequencies requires high value
input and output coupling capacitors (C

I

and COin Figure 1).
A high value capacitor can be expensive and may compro­mise space efficiency in portable designs. In many cases,
however, the speakers used in portable systems, whether
internal or external, have little ability to reproduce signals
below 150Hz. Applications using speakers with this limited
frequency response reap little improvement by using high
value input and output capacitors.

Besides affecting system cost and size, C

i

has an effect on

the LM4810’s click and pop performance. The magnitude of

the pop is directly proportional to the input capacitor’s size.
Thus, pops can be minimized by selecting an input capacitor
value that is no higher than necessary to meet the desired

−3dB frequency. Please refer to the Optimizing Click and
Pop Reduction Performance section for a more detailed
discussion on click and pop performance.

As shown in Figure 1, the input resistor, R

I

and the input

capacitor, C

I

, produce a −3dB high pass filter cutoff fre­quency that is found using Equation (3). In addition, the
output load R

L

, and the output capacitor CO, produce a -3db

high pass filter cutoff frequency defined by Equation (4).

(4)

Also, careful consideration must be taken in selecting a
certain type of capacitor to be used in the system. Different
types of capacitors (tantalum, electrolytic, ceramic) have
unique performance characteristics and may affect overall
system performance.

Bypass Capacitor Value Selection

Besides minimizing the input capacitor size, careful consid­eration should be paid to the value of C

B

, the capacitor

connected to the BYPASS pin. Since C

B

determines how
fast the LM4810 settles to quiescent operation, its value is
critical when minimizing turn-on pops. The slower the
LM4810’s outputs ramp to their quiescent DC voltage (nomi­nally 1/2 V

DD

), the smaller the turn-on pop. Choosing C

B

equal to 4.7µF along with a small value of Ci(in the range of

0.1µF to 0.47µF), produces a click-less and pop-less shut­down function. As discussed above, choosing C

i

no larger
than necessary for the desired bandwith helps minimize
clicks and pops.

OPTIMIZING CLICK AND POP REDUCTION
PERFORMANCE

The LM4810 contains circuitry that minimizes turn-on and
shutdown transients or “clicks and pop”. For this discussion,
turn-on refers to either applying the power supply voltage or
when the shutdown mode is deactivated. During turn-on, the
LM4810’s internal amplifiers are configured as unity gain
buffers. An internal current source charges up the capacitor
on the BYPASS pin in a controlled, linear manner. The gain
of the internal amplifiers remains unity until the voltage on
the BYPASS pin reaches 1/2 V

DD

. As soon as the voltage on
the BYPASS pin is stable, the device becomes fully opera­tional. During device turn-on, a transient (pop) is created
from a voltage difference between the input and output of the
amplifier as the voltage on the BYPASS pin reaches 1/2 V

DD

.
For this discussion, the input of the amplifier refers to the
node between R

I

and CI. Ideally, the input and output track
the voltage applied to the BYPASS pin. During turn-on, the
buffer-configured amplifier output charges the input capaci­tor, C

I

, through the input resistor, RI. This input resistor

delays the charging time of C

I

thereby causing the voltage
difference between the input and output that results in a
transient (pop). Higher value capacitors need more time to
reach a quiescent DC voltage (usually 1/2 V

DD

) when

charged with a fixed current. Decreasing the value of C

I

and

R

I

will minimize the turn-on pops at the expense of the

desired -3dB frequency.
Although the BYPASS pin current cannot be modified,

changing the size of C

B

alters the device’s turn-on time and

LM4810

the magnitude of “clicks and pops”. Increasing the value of
C

B

reduces the magnitude of turn-on pops. However, this

presents a tradeoff: as the size of C

B

increases, the turn-on
time increases. There is a linear relationship between the
size of C

B

and the turn-on time. Here are some typical

turn-on times for various values of C

B

:

C

1.0µF 920ms

2.2µF 1.8sec

3.3µF 2.8sec

4.7µF 3.4sec

10µF 7.7sec

In order eliminate “clicks and pops”, all capacitors must be
discharged before turn-on. Rapidly switching V

DD

may not
allow the capacitors to fully discharge, which may cause
“clicks and pops”. In a single-ended configuration, the output
is coupled to the load by C

O

. This capacitor usually has a

high value. C

O

discharges through internal 20kΩ resistors.

Depending on the size of C

O

, the discharge time constant
can be relatively large. To reduce transients in single-ended
mode, an external 1kΩ–5kΩ resistor can be placed in par­allel with the internal 20kΩ resistor. The tradeoff for using
this resistor is increased quiescent current.

Power Output 70 mW

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 Supply Voltage curve in the Typical Performance Char-
acteristics section. Another way, using Equation (5), 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 Dropout Voltage vs Supply Voltage in the
Typical Performance Characteristics curves, must be
added to the result obtained by Equation (5). For a
single-ended application, the result is Equation (6).

)) (6)

The Output Power vs Supply Voltage graph for a 32Ω load
indicates a minimum supply voltage of 4.8V. This is easily
met by the commonly used 5V supply voltage. The additional
voltage creates the benefit of headroom, allowing the
LM4810 to produce peak output power in excess of 70mW
without clipping or other audible distortion. The choice of
supply voltage must also not create a situation that violates
maximum power dissipation as explained above in the
Power Dissipation section. Remember that the maximum
power dissipation point from Equation (1) must be multiplied
by two since there are two independent amplifiers inside the
package. Once the power dissipation equations have been
addressed, the required gain can be determined from Equa­tion (7).

(7)

Thus, a minimum gain of 1.497 allows the LM4810 to reach
full output swing and maintain low noise and THD+N perfro­mance. For this example, let A

V

=1.5.

The amplifiers overall gain is set using the input (R

i

) and

feedback (R

f

) resistors. With the desired input impedance
set at 20kΩ, the feedback resistor is found using Equation
(8).

A

V=Rf/Ri

(8)

The value of Rfis 30kΩ.
The last step in this design 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 lease 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

f

L

= 100Hz/5 = 20Hz (9)

and a

fH= 20kHz*5 = 100kHz (10)

As stated in the External Components section, both R

i

in

conjunction with C

i

, and Cowith RL, create first order high­pass filters. Thus to obtain the desired low frequency re­sponse of 100Hz within

±

0.5dB, both poles must be taken
into consideration. The combination of two single order filters
at the same frequency forms a second order response. This
results in a signal which is down 0.34dB at five times away
from the single order filter −3dB point. Thus, a frequency of
20Hz is used in the following equations to ensure that the
response is better than 0.5dB down at 100Hz.

. With a closed-loop gain of 1.5 and fH= 100kHz, the
resulting GBWP = 150kHz which is much smaller than the
LM4810’s GBWP of 900kHz. This figure displays that if a

designer has a need to design an amplifier with a higher
gain, the LM4810 can still be used without running into
bandwidth limitations.
