Application Information
EXPOSED-DAP PACKAGE PCB MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
The LM4838’s exposed-DAP (die attach paddle) packages (MTE, LQ) provide 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, finally, surrounding air. The result is a low voltage audio power amplifier that produces 2.1W at 1% THD with a 4load. This high power is achieved through careful consideration of necessary ther­mal design. Failing to optimize thermal design may compro­mise the LM4838’s high power performance and activate unwanted, though necessary, thermal shutdown protection.
The MTE and LQ packages must have their exposed DAPs soldered to a grounded copper pad on the PCB. The DAP’s PCB copper pad is connected to a large grounded plane of continuous unbroken copper. This plane forms a thermal mass heat sink and radiation area. Place the heat sink area on either outside plane in the case of a two-sided PCB, or on an inner layer of a board with more than two layers. Connect the DAP copper pad to the inner layer or backside copper heat sink area with 32(4x8) (MTE) or 6(3x2) (LQ) vias. The via diameter should be 0.012in–0.013in with a 1.27mm pitch. Ensure efficient thermal conductivity by plating­through and solder-filling the vias.
Best thermal performance is achieved with the largest prac­tical copper heat sink area. If the heatsink and amplifier share the same PCB layer, a nominal 2.5in
2
(min) area is necessary for 5V operation with a 4load. Heatsink areas not placed on the same PCB layer as the LM4838 MTE and LQ packages should be 5in
2
(min) for the same supply voltage and load resistance. The last two area recommen­dations apply for 25˚C ambient temperature. Increase the area to compensate for ambient temperatures above 25˚C. In systems using cooling fans, the LM4838MTE can take advantage of forced air cooling. With an air flow rate of 450 linear-feet per minute and a 2.5in
2
exposed copper or 5.0in
2
inner layer copper plane heatsink, the LM4838MTE can continuously drive a 3load to full power. The LM4838LQ achieves the same output power level without forced air cooling. In all circumstances and conditions, the junction temperature must be held below 150˚C to prevent activating the LM4838’s thermal shutdown protection. The LM4838’s power de-rating curve in the Typical Performance Charac- teristics shows the maximum power dissipation versus tem­perature. Example PCB layouts for the exposed-DAP TSSOP and LQ packages are shown in the Demonstration Board Layout section. Further detailed and specific infor­mation concerning PCB layout, fabrication, and mounting an LQ (LLP) package is available in National Semiconductor’s AN1187.
The micro SMD package (LM4838ITL) thermals work in a similar way to the LQ and MTE packages in that a thermal plane increases the heat transfer from the die. The thermal plane can be any electrical potential but needs to be below the package to aid in the spreading the heat from the die out to surrounding PCB areas to reduce the thermal resistance of the micro SMD package. The thermal plane is most effec­tive when placed on the top or first internal PCB layers. The traces connecting the bumps also contribute to spreading heat away from the die. The same recommendations for the size of the thermal plane as given above apply for the ITL package, namely 2.5in
2
minimum for top layer thermal plane
and 5in
2
minimum for internal or bottom layers.
PCB LAYOUT AND SUPPLY REGULATION CONSIDERATIONS FOR DRIVING 3AND 4LOADS
Power dissipated by a load is a function of the voltage swing across the load and the load’s impedance. As load imped­ance decreases, load dissipation becomes increasingly de­pendent on the interconnect (PCB trace and wire) resistance between the amplifier output pins and the load’s connec­tions. Residual trace resistance causes a voltage drop, which results in power dissipated in the trace and not in the load as desired. For example, 0.1trace resistance reduces the output power dissipated by a 4load from 2.1W to 2.0W. This problem of decreased load dissipation is exacerbated as load impedance decreases. Therefore, to maintain the highest load dissipation and widest output voltage swing, PCB traces that connect the output pins to a load must be as wide as possible.
Poor power supply regulation adversely affects maximum output power. A poorly regulated supply’s output voltage decreases with increasing load current. Reduced supply voltage causes decreased headroom, output signal clipping, and reduced output power. Even with tightly regulated sup­plies, trace resistance creates the same effects as poor supply regulation. Therefore, making the power supply traces as wide as possible helps maintain full output voltage swing.
BRIDGE CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION
As shown in Figure 2, the LM4838 output stage consists of two pairs of operational amplifiers, forming a two-channel (channel A and channel B) stereo amplifier. (Though the following discusses channel A, it applies equally to channel B.)
Figure 2 shows that the first amplifier’s negative (-) output serves as the second amplifier’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 −OUTA and +OUTA and driven dif­ferentially (commonly referred to as “bridge mode”). This results in a differential gain of
A
VD
=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 single-ended con­figuration: its differential output doubles the voltage swing across the load. 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 or that the output signal is not clipped. To ensure minimum output sig­nal clipping when choosing an amplifier’s closed-loop gain, refer to the Audio Power Amplifier Design section.
Another advantage of the differential bridge output is no net DC voltage across the load. This is accomplished by biasing channel A’s and channel B’s outputs at half-supply. This eliminates the coupling capacitor that single supply, single­ended amplifiers require. Eliminating an output coupling ca­pacitor in a 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.

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 single­ended amplifier operating at a given supply voltage and driving a specified output load.
P
DMAX
=(VDD)
2
/(2π2RL) Single-Ended (2)
However, a direct consequence of the increased power de­livered to the load by a bridge amplifier is higher internal power dissipation for the same conditions.
The LM4838 has two operational amplifiers per channel. The maximum internal power dissipation per channel operating in the bridge mode is four times that of a single-ended ampli­fier. From Equation (3), assuming a 5V power supply and a 4load, the maximum single channel power dissipation is
1.27W or 2.54W for stereo operation.
P
DMAX
=4*(VDD)2/(2π2RL) Bridge Mode (3)
The LM4838’s power dissipation is twice that given by Equa­tion (2) or Equation (3) when operating in the single-ended mode or bridge mode, respectively. Twice the maximum power dissipation point given by Equation (3) must not ex­ceed the power dissipation given by Equation (4):

PCB, the LM4838’s θ

is 20˚C/W. In the MTE package
soldered to a DAP pad that expands to a copper area of 2in
2
on a PCB, the LM4838MTE’s θJAis 41˚C/W. For the LM4838MT package, θ
JA
= 80˚C/W. At any given ambient
temperature T
A
, use Equation (4) to find the maximum inter­nal power dissipation supported by the IC packaging. Rear­ranging Equation (4) and substituting P
DMAX
for P
DMAX
' re­sults in Equation (5). This equation gives the maximum ambient temperature that still allows maximum stereo power dissipation without violating the LM4838’s maximum junction temperature.
T
A=TJMAX
– 2*P
DMAXθJA
(5)
For a typical application with a 5V power supply and an 4 load, the maximum ambient temperature that allows maxi­mum stereo power dissipation without exceeding the maxi­mum junction temperature is approximately 99˚C for the LQ package and 45˚C for the MTE package.
T
JMAX=PDMAXθJA+TA
(6)
Equation (6) gives the maximum junction temperature T
JMAX
. If the result violates the LM4838’s 150˚C T
JMAX
, 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 a surface mount part 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 (2) is greater than that of Equation (3), then decrease the supply voltage, increase the load impedance, or reduce the ambient temperature. If these measures are insufficient, a heat sink can be added to reduce θ
JA
. The heat sink can be created using additional copper area around the package, with connections to the ground pin(s), supply pin and amplifier output pins. External, solder attached SMT heatsinks such as the Thermalloy 7106D can also improve power dissipation. When adding a heat sink, the θ

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 10 µF in parallel with a 0.1 µF filter capacitor 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 LM4838’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 LM4838’s power supply pin and ground as short as possible. Connecting a 1µF capacitor, C
B
, between the BYPASS pin and ground improves the internal bias voltage’s stability and the amplifier’s PSRR. The PSRR improvements increase as the BYPASS pin capacitor value increases. Too large a capacitor, however, increases turn-on time and can compromise the amplifier’s click and pop performance. The selection of bypass capacitor values, especially C
B
, depends on desired PSRR requirements, click and pop performance (as explained in the following section, Selecting Proper External Components), system cost, and size constraints.
SELECTING PROPER EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Optimizing the LM4838’s performance requires properly se­lecting external components. Though the LM4838 operates well when using external components with wide tolerances, best performance is achieved by optimizing component val­ues.
The LM4838 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 circuits demand 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 CAPACITOR VALUE SELECTION
Amplifying the lowest audio frequencies requires a high value input coupling capacitor (0.33µF in Figure 2), but high value capacitors 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 150 Hz. Applications using speakers with this limited fre­quency response reap little improvement by using a large input capacitor.
Besides effecting system cost and size, the input coupling capacitor has an affect on the LM4838’s click and pop per­formance. When the supply voltage is first applied, a tran­sient (pop) is created as the charge on the input capacitor changes from zero to a quiescent state. The magnitude of the pop is directly proportional to the input capacitor’s size. Higher value capacitors need more time to reach a quiescent DC voltage (usually V
DD
/2) when charged with a fixed cur­rent. The amplifier’s output charges the input capacitor through the feedback resistor, R
f
. Thus, pops can be mini­mized by selecting an input capacitor value that is no higher than necessary to meet the desired −6dB frequency.
As shown in Figure 2, the input resistor (R
IR,RIL
= 20k) ( and
the input capacitor (C
IR,CIL
= 0.33µF) produce a −6dB high
pass filter cutoff frequency that is found using Equation (7).
(7)
As an example when using a speaker with a low frequency limit of 150Hz, the input coupling capacitor, using Equation (7), is 0.053µF. The 0.33µF input coupling capacitor shown in Figure 2 allows the LM4838 to drive a high efficiency, full range speaker whose response extends below 30Hz.
OPTIMIZING CLICK AND POP REDUCTION PERFORMANCE
The LM4838 contains circuitry that minimizes turn-on and shutdown transients or “clicks and pops”. For this discus­sion, turn-on refers to either applying the power supply volt­age or when the shutdown mode is deactivated. While the power supply is ramping to its final value, the LM4838’s internal amplifiers are configured as unity gain buffers. An internal current source changes the voltage of the BYPASS pin in a controlled, linear 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 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. Although the BYPASS pin current cannot be modified, changing the size of C
B
alters the device’s turn-on time and the magnitude of “clicks and pops”. Increasing the value of C
B
reduces the magnitude of turn-on pops. How-
ever, 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

DOCKING STATION INTERFACE
Applications such as notebook computers can take advan­tage of a docking station to connect to external devices such as monitors or audio/visual equipment that sends or receives line level signals. The LM4838 has two outputs, Right Dock and Left Dock, which connect to outputs of the internal input amplifiers that drive the volume control inputs. These input amplifiers can drive loads of
>
1k(such as powered speak­ers) with a rail-to-rail signal. Since the output signal present on the RIGHT DOCK and LEFT DOCK pins is biased to V
DD
/2, coupling capacitors should be connected in series with the load when using these outputs. Typical values for the output coupling capacitors are 0.33µF to 1.0µF. If polar­ized coupling capacitors are used, connect their "+" termi­nals to the respective output pin, see Figure 2.
Since the DOCK outputs precede the internal volume con­trol, the signal amplitude will be equal to the input signal’s magnitude and cannot be adjusted. However, the input am­plifier’s closed-loop gain can be adjusted using external resistors. These 20k resistors (R
FR,RFL
) are shown in Fig- ure 2 and they set each input amplifier’s gain to -1. Use Equation 7 to determine the input and feedback resistor values for a desired gain.
-A
VR=RFR/RIR
and - AVL=RFL/R

Adjusting the input amplifier’s gain sets the minimum gain for that channel. Although the single ended output of the Bridge Output Amplifiers can be used to drive line level outputs, it is recommended that theR&LDock Outputs simpler signal path be used for better performance.
BEEP DETECT FUNCTION
Computers and notebooks produce a system “beep“ signal that drives a small speaker. The speaker’s auditory output signifies that the system requires user attention or input. To accommodate this system alert signal, the LM4838’s beep input pin is a mono input that accepts the beep signal. Internal level detection circuitry at this input monitors the beep signal’s magnitude. When a signal level greater than V
DD
/2 is detected on the BEEP IN pin, the bridge output amplifiers are enabled. The beep signal is amplified and applied to the load connected to the output amplifiers. A valid beep signal will be applied to the load even when MUTE is active. Use the input resistors connected between the BEEP IN pin and the stereo input pins to accommodate different beep signal amplitudes. These resistors (R
BEEP
) are shown as 200kdevices in Figure 2. Use higher value resistors to reduce the gain applied to the beep signal. The resistors must be used to pass the beep signal to the stereo inputs. The BEEP IN pin is used only to detect the beep signal’s magnitude: it does not pass the signal to the output amplifi­ers. The LM4838’s shutdown mode must be deactivated before a system alert signal is applied to BEEP IN pin.

MICRO-POWER SHUTDOWN
The voltage applied to the SHUTDOWN pin controls the LM4838’s shutdown function. Activate micro-power shut­down by applying V
DD
to the SHUTDOWN pin. When active, the LM4838’s micro-power shutdown feature turns off the amplifier’s bias circuitry, reducing the supply current. The logic threshold is typically V
DD
/2. The low 0.7 µA typical shutdown current is achieved by applying a voltage that is as near as V
DD
as possible to the SHUTDOWN 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 10kpull-up resistor between the SHUTDOWN pin and V
DD
. Connect the switch between the SHUTDOWN pin and ground. 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 need for a pull up resistor.
MODE FUNCTION
The LM4838’s MODE function has 2 states controlled by the voltage applied to the MODE pin. Mode 0, selected by applying 0V to the MODE pin, forces the LM4838 to effec­tively function as a "line-out," unity-gain amplifier. Mode 1, which uses the internal DC controlled volume control is selected by applying V
DD
to the MODE pin. This mode sets the amplifier’s gain according to the DC voltage applied to the DC VOL CONTROL pin. Unanticipated gain behavior can be prevented by connecting the MODE pin to V
DD
or ground.
Note: Do not let the mode pin float.
MUTE FUNCTION
The LM4838 mutes the amplifier and DOCK outputs when V
DD
is applied to the MUTE pin. Even while muted, the LM4838 will amplify a system alert (beep) signal whose magnitude satisfies the BEEP DETECT circuitry. Applying 0V to the MUTE pin returns the LM4838 to normal, unmuted operation. Prevent unanticipated mute behavior by connect­ing the MUTE pin to V
DD
or ground. Do not let the mute pain
float.
HP SENSE FUNCTION ( Head Phone In )
Applying a voltage between 4V and V
DD
to the LM4838’s HP-IN headphone control pin turns off the amps that drive the Left out "+" and Right out "+" pins. This action mutes a bridged-connected load. Quiescent current consumption is reduced when the IC is in this single-ended mode.
Figure 3 shows the implementation of the LM4838’s head­phone control function. With no headphones connected to the headphone jack, the R1-R2 voltage divider sets the voltage applied to the HP SENSE pin at approximately 50mV. This 50mV puts the LM4838 into bridged mode op­eration. The output coupling capacitor blocks the amplifier’s half supply DC voltage, protecting the headphones.
The HP-IN threshold is set at 4V. While the LM4838 operates in bridged mode, the DC potential across the load is essen­tially 0V. Therefore, even in an ideal situation, the output swing cannot cause a false single-ended trigger. Connecting headphones to the headphone jack disconnects the head­phone jack contact pin from R2 and allows R1 to pull the HP Sense pin up to V
DD
through R4. This enables the head­phone function, turns off both of the "+" output amplifiers, and mutes the bridged speaker. The remaining single-ended amplifiers then drive the headphones, whose impedance is in parallel with resistors R2 and R3. These resistors have negligible effect on the LM4838’s output drive capability since the typical impedance of headphones is 32.
Figure 3 also shows the suggested headphone jack electri­cal connections. The jack is designed to mate with a three­wire plug. The plug’s tip and ring should each carry one of the two stereo output signals, whereas the sleeve should carry the ground return. A headphone jack with one control pin contact is sufficient to drive the HP-IN pin when connect­ing headphones.
A microprocessor or a switch can replace the headphone jack contact pin. When a microprocessor or switch applies a voltage greater than 4V to the HP-IN pin, a bridge-connected speaker is muted and the single ended output amplifiers 1A and 2A will drive a pair of headphones.

GAIN SELECT FUNCTION (Bass Boost)
The LM4838 features selectable gain, using either internal or external feedback resistors. Either set of feedback resistors set the gain of the output amplifiers. The voltage applied to the GAIN SELECT pin controls which gain is selected. Ap­plying V
DD
to the GAIN SELECT pin selects the external gain mode. Applying 0V to the GAIN SELECT pin selects the internally set 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. A resistor, R
LFE
, and a capacitor, C
LFE
, in parallel, can be placed in series with the feedback resistor of the bridged amplifier as seen in Figure 4.
At low, frequencies C
LFE
is a virtual open circuit and at high
frequencies, its nearly zero ohm impedance shorts R
LFE
. The result is increased bridge-amplifier gain at low frequen­cies. The combination of R

created at 120Hz. Assuming R
i
= 20k, the low frequency
differential gain is 4. The input (C
i
) and output (CO) capacitor values must be selected for a low frequency response that covers the range of frequencies affected by the desired bass-boost operation.
DC VOLUME CONTROL
The LM4838 has an internal stereo volume control whose setting is a function of the DC voltage applied to the DC VOL CONTROL pin.
The LM4838 volume control consists of 31 steps that are individually selected by a variable DC voltage level on the volume control pin. The range of the steps, controlled by the DC voltage, are from 0dB - 78dB. Each gain step corre­sponds to a specific input voltage range, as shown in table 2.
To minimize the effect of noise on the volume control pin, which can affect the selected gain level, hysteresis has been implemented. The amount of hysteresis corresponds to half of the step width, as shown in Volume Control Characteriza­tion Graph (DS200133-40).
For highest accuracy, the voltage shown in the ’recom­mended voltage’ column of the table is used to select a desired gain. This recommended voltage is exactly halfway between the two nearest transitions to the next highest or next lowest gain levels.
The gain levels are 1dB/step from 0dB to -6dB, 2dB/step from -6dB to -36dB, 3dB/step from -36dB to -47dB, 4dB/step from -47db to -51dB, 5dB/step from -51dB to -66dB, and 12dB to the last step at -78dB.

AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER DESIGN
Audio Amplifier Design: Driving 1W into an 8Load
The following are the desired operational parameters:
Power Output: 1 W
RMS
Load Impedance: 8
Input Level: 1 V
RMS
Input Impedance: 20 k
Bandwidth: 100 Hz−20 kHz
±
0.25 dB
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 (10), 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 (10). The result is Equation (11).
(11)
VDD≥ (V

)) (12)
The Output Power vs Supply Voltage graph for an 8load indicates a minimum supply voltage of 4.6V. This is easily met by the commonly used 5V supply voltage. The additional voltage creates the benefit of headroom, allowing the LM4838 to produce peak output power in excess of 1W 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 above in the Power Dissipation section.
After satisfying the LM4838’s power dissipation require­ments, the minimum differential gain needed to achieve 1W dissipation in an 8load is found using Equation (12).
(13)
Thus, a minimum overall gain of 2.83 allows the LM4838’s to reach full output swing and maintain low noise and THD+N performance.
The last step in this design example is setting the amplifier’s
−6dB 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
f
L
= 100Hz/5 = 20Hz (14)
and an
f
H
= 20kHz x 5 = 100kHz (15)
As mentioned in the Selecting Proper External Compo- nents section, R

(Right & Left) and Ci(Right & Left) create a highpass filter that sets the amplifier’s lower bandpass frequency limit. Find the input coupling capacitor’s value using Equation (14).

The result is

20k*20Hz) = 0.397µF (17)
Use a 0.39µF capacitor, the closest standard value.
The product of the desired high frequency cutoff (100kHz in this example) and the differential gain A
VD
, determines the
upper passband response limit. With A
VD
= 3 and fH= 100kHz, the closed-loop gain bandwidth product (GBWP) is 300kHz. This is less than the LM4838’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.
