Application Information
EXPOSED-DAP MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
The exposed-DAP (die attach pad) must be tied to ground.
The exposed-DAP of the LM4836MTE requires special attention to thermal design. If thermal design issues are not
properly addressed, an LM4836MTE driving 4Ω will go into
thermal shutdown.
The exposed-DAP on the bottom of the LM4836MTE should
be soldered down to a copper plane on the circuit board. The
copper plane will conduct heat away from the exposed-DAP.
If the copper plane is not on the top surface of the circuit
board, 20 to 30 vias of 0.010 inches or smaller in diameter
should be used to thermally couple the exposed-DAP to the
plane. For good thermal conduction, the vias must be
plated-through and solder-filled.
The copper plane used to conduct heat away from the
exposed-DAP should be as large as practical. If the plane is
on the same side of the circuit board as the exposed-DAP, 2

in
is the minimum for 5V operation into 4Ω. If the heat sink
plane is buried or not on the same side as the exposed-DAP,
2
5in
is the minimum for 5V operation into 4Ω. If the ambient
temperature is higher than 25˚C, a larger copper plane or
forced-air cooling may be required to keep the LM4836MTE
junction temperature below the thermal shutdown temperature (150˚C). See the power derating curve for the
LM4836MTE for derating information.
The LM4836MTE requires forced-air cooling when operating
into 3Ω.
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 load.
P
=(VDD)2/(2π2RL) (1)
However, a direct consequence of the increased power delivered to the load by a bridged amplifier is an increase in internal power dissipation. Equation 2 states the maximum
power dissipation point for a bridged amplifier operating at a
given supply voltage and driving a specified load.
Since the LM4836 is a stereo power amplifier, the maximum
internal power dissipation is two times that of Equation 1 or
Equation 2 depending on the mode of operation. Even with
the power dissipation of the stereo amplifiers, the LM4836
does not require heatsinking. The power dissipation from the
amplifiers, must not be greater than the package power dissipation that results from Equation 3:
For the LM4836 TSSOP package, θ
= 150˚C. Depending on the ambient temperature, TA,ofthe
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 and 2 is greater than
that of Equation 3, then either the supply voltage must be decreased, the load impedance increased, or the ambient temperature reduced. For the typical application of a 5V power
supply, with an 8Ω bridged loads, the maximum ambient
temperature possible without violating the maximum junction
temperature is approximately 48˚C provided that device operation is around the maximum power dissipation points.
Power dissipation is a function of output power and thus, if

to the Typical Performance Characteristics curves for
power dissipation information for different output powers.
LAYOUT
As stated in the Grounding section, placement of ground return lines is imperative in maintaining the highest level of
system performance. It is not only important to route the correct ground return lines together, but also to be aware of
where the groundreturn lines are routed with respect to each
other. The output load ground returns should be physically
located as faras possible from low signal level lines and their
ground return lines.
3Ω and 4Ω Layout Considerations
With low impedance loads, the output power at the loads is
heavily dependent on trace resistance from the output pins
of the LM4836. Tracesfrom the output of the LM4836MTE to
the load or load connectors should be as wide as practical.
Any resistance in the output traces will reduce the power delivered to the load. For example, with a 4Ω load and 0.1Ω of
trace resistance in each output, output power at the load
drops from 2W to 1.8W.
Output power is also dependent on supply regulation. To
keep the supply voltage from sagging under full output conditions, the supply traces should be as wide as practical.
Grounding
In order to achieve the best possible performance, there are
certain grounding techniques to be followed. All input reference grounds should be tied with their respective source
grounds and brought back to the power supply ground separately from the output load ground returns. Bringing the
ground returns for the output loads back to the supply separately will keep large signal currents from interfering with the
stable AC input ground references. The exposed-DAP of the
LM4836MTE package must be tied to ground.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
As with any power amplifier, proper supply bypassing is critical for low noise performance and high power supply rejection. The capacitor location on both the bypass and power
supply pins shouldbe as close to the device as possible. The
effect of a larger half supply bypass capacitor is improved
PSRR due to increased half-supply stability. Typical applications employ a 5 volt regulator with 10 µF and a 0.1 µF bypass capacitors which aid in supply stability, but do not eliminate the need for bypassing the supply nodes of the
LM4836. The selection of bypass capacitors, especially C
is thus dependent upon desired PSRR requirements, desired turn on time, click and pop performance as explained in
the section, Proper Selection of External Components,
system cost, and size constraints. It is also recommended to
decouple each of the V
ground.

DD
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 LM4836 is tolerant of
external component combinations, consideration to component values must be used to maximize overall system quality.
The LM4836’s bridged amplifier 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.
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 1
the output coupling capacitor form first order high pass filters
which limit low frequency response given in Equations 4 and
5.
These values should be chosen based on required frequency response.
Selection of Input and Output Capacitor Size
Large input and output capacitors are both expensive and
space hungry for portable designs. Clearly, a certain sized
capacitor is needed to couple in low frequencies without severe attenuation. In many cases the speakers used in portable systems, whether internal or external, have little ability
to reproduce signals below 100 Hz–150 Hz. In this case, using a largeinput or output capacitor may not increase system
performance.
In addition to system cost and size, click and pop performance is effected by the size of the input coupling capacitor,
C
. A larger input coupling capacitor requires more charge to
i
reach its quiescent DC voltage (nominally 1/2 V
charge comes from the output through the feedback and is
apt to create pops once the device is enabled. By minimizing
the capacitor size based on necessary low frequency response, turn-on pops can be minimized.
CLICK AND POP CIRCUITRY
The LM4836 contains circuitry to minimize turn-on transients
or “click and pops”. In this case, turn-on refers to either
power supply turn-on or the device coming out of shutdown
mode. When thedevice is turning on, the amplifiers are internally muted. An internal current source ramps up the voltage
of the bypass pin. Both the inputs and outputs ideally track
the voltage at the bypass pin. The device will remain in mute
mode until the bypass pin has reached its half supply voltage, 1/2 V
vice will become fully operational.
Although the bypass pin current source cannot be modified,

increasing C
However, the trade-off for using a larger bypass capacitor is
an increase in the turn-on time for the device. Reducing C
will decrease turn-on time and increase “click and pop”.

In order to eliminate “click and pop”, all capacitors must be
discharged before turn-on. Rapid on/off switching of the device or shutdown function may cause the “click and pop” circuitry to not operate fully, resulting in increased “click and
pop” noise.

same, the output coupling cap, C

the headphone load is replaced by a high impedance line out
load(powered speakers). The input impedance of headphones are typically between 32Ω and 64Ω. Whereas, the
input impedance of powered speakers can vary from 1kΩ to
100kΩ. As the RC time constant of the load and the output
coupling capacitor increases, the turn off transients are increased.
To improve click and pop performance in this situation, external resistor R7 should be added as shown in Figure 3. The
recommended value for R7 is between 150Ω to 1kΩ.To

can drive loads greater than 1kΩ rail to rail. These pins are
tied to the output of the input op-amp to drive powered
speakers and other high impedance loads. Output coupling
capacitors need to be placed in series with the load. The recommended values of the capacitors are between 0.33µF to
1.0µF with the positive side of the capacitors toward the IC.

can be configured by adjusting the feedback and input resistors for the input op-amp. The input op-amp is in an inverting
configuration where the gain is:

Note that by adjusting the gain of the input op-amp the over-

all gain of the output amplifiers are also affected. Although
the single endedoutputs of the output amplifiers can be used
to drive line level outputs, it is recommended to use Pins 9
and 13 to achieve better performance.
MUX CONTROL
The LM4836 contains two pairs of inputs. The Mux Contol
pin controls wihch set of inputs are selected. Left In 1 and
Right In 1 are selected when Pin 2 is given a logic level low.
Left In 2 and Right In 2 are selected whenever a logic level
high is placed on Pin 2.
BEEP DETECT FUNCTION

presence of a beep signal. When a signal greater than

the bridged amplifiers regardless of the state of the Mute,
Volume Control, or HP sense pins. The Beep Detect pin will
not pass the beep signal to the output. As shown in the Fig.
2, a 200kΩ resistor is placed in series with the input capacitor. This 200kΩ resistor can be changed to vary the amplitude of the beep in signal. Higher values of the resistor will
reduce the amplifier gain and attenuate the beep in signal.
These resistors are required in order for the beep signal to
pass to the output. In cases where system beeps are required when the system is in a suspended mode, the
LM4836 must be brought out of shutdown before the beep in
signal is input.
SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, the
LM4836 contains a shutdown pin to externally turn off the
bias circuitry.The LM4836 will shutdown when a logic high is
placed on the shutdown pin. The trigger point between a
logic low and logic high level is typically half supply. It is best
to switch between ground and the supply V

floated, since this may result in an undetermined state.
In many applications, a microcontroller or microprocessor
output is used to control the shutdown circuitry which provides a quick, smooth transition into shutdown.Another solution is to use a single-pole, single-throw switch in conjuction
with an external pull-up resistor. When the switch is
closed,the shutdown pin is connected to ground and enables
the amplifier. If the switch is open, then the external pull-up
resistor will shutdown the LM4836. This scheme prevents
the shutdown pin from floating.

MUTE FUNCTION
By placing a logic level high on the mute pin (pin5), the outputs of the amplifiers and pins 9 and 13 will be muted. The
beep in signal will be output even if the LM4836 is muted.
The mute pin must not be floated.
HP SENSE FUNCTION
The LM4836 possesses a headphone sense pin (pin 21) that
mutes the bridged amplifier, when given a logic high, so that
headphone or line out operation can occur while the bridged
connected load will be muted.
Figure 3
shows the implementation of the LM4836’s headphone control function using a single-supply. The voltage divider of R1 and R2 set the voltage at the HP sense pin (pin
21) to be approximately 50 mV when there are no headphones plugged into the system. This logic-low voltage at
the HP sense pin enables the bridged power amplifiers. Resistor R4 limits the amount of current flowing out of the HP
sense pin when the voltage at that pin goes below ground resulting from the music coming from the headphone amplifier.
Since the threshold of the HP sense pin is set at 4V ( or 80
V
), the output swing cannot cause false triggering.
DD
When a set of headphones are plugged into the system, the
contact pin of the headphone jack is disconnected from the
signal pin, interrupting the voltage divider set up by resistors
R1 and R2. Resistor R1 then pulls up the HP sense pin, enabling the headphone function and disabling the bridged amplifier.The headphone amplifier then drives the headphones,
whose impedance is in parallel with resistor R2 and R3. Also
shown in
Figure 3
are the electrical connections for the
headphone jack and plug. A 3-wire plug consists of a Tip,
Ring and Sleeve, where the Tip and Ring are signal carrying
conductors and the Sleeve is the common ground return.
One control pin contact for each headphone jack is sufficient
to indicate that the user has inserted a plug into a jack and
that another mode of operation is desired.
The LM4836 can be used to drive both a bridged 8Ω internal
speaker and a pair of 32Ω speakers without using the HP
sense circuit. In this case the HP sense is controlled by a microprocessor or a switch.

BASS BOOST FUNCTION
The Bass Boost Function can be toggled by changing the
logic at pin 19. A logic low will switch the power amplifiers to
bass boost mode. In bass boost mode the low frequency
gain of the amplifier is set by the external capacitor.
Whereas a logic high sets the amplifiers to unity gain.
In some cases a designer may want to improve the low frequency response of the bridged amplifier or incorporate a
bass boost feature.This bass boost can be useful in systems
where speakers are housed in small enclosures. If the designer wishes to disable the bass boost feature, pin 19 can
be tied to V
When bass boost is enabled, the output amplifiers will be internally set at a gain of 2 at low frequencies (gain of 4 in
bridged mode). As shown in Figure 2, C

gain of the bridge amplifier is increased at low frequencies. A

DC VOLUME CONTROL
The DC voltage at the DC Volume Control pin (pin 5) determines the attenuation of output of the amplifiers. If the DC
potential of pin 5 is above 4V (typical 80%V
