LM48860 Ground-Referenced, Ultra Low Noise, Fixed Gain Stereo Headphone Amplifier
General Description
The LM48860 is a ground referenced, fixed-gain audio power
amplifier capable of delivering 40mW per channel of continuous average power into a 16Ω single-ended load with less
than 1% THD+N from a 3V power supply.
The LM48860 features a new circuit technology that utilizes
a charge pump to generate a negative reference voltage. This
allows the outputs to be biased about ground, thereby eliminating output-coupling capacitors typically used with normal
single-ended loads.
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to
provide high quality output power with a minimal amount of
external components. The LM48860 does not require output
coupling capacitors or bootstrap capacitors, and therefore is
ideally suited for mobile phone and other low voltage applications where minimal power consumption is a primary requirement.
The LM48860 features a low-power consumption shutdown
mode selectable for either channel separately. This is accomplished by driving either the SD_RC
nel) or SD_LC (Shutdown Left Channel) (or both) pins with
logic low, depending on which channel is desired shutdown.
Additionally, the LM48860 features an internal thermal shutdown protection mechanism.
The LM48860 contains advanced pop & click circuitry that
eliminates noises which would otherwise occur during turn-on
and turn-off transitions.
The LM48860 has an internal fixed gain of 1.5V/V.

Note 1: “Absolute Maximum Ratings” indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur, including inoperability and degradation of device reliability
and/or performance. Functional operation of the device and/or non-degradation at the Absolute Maximum Ratings or other conditions beyond those indicated in
the Recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. The Recommended Operating Conditions indicate conditions at which the device is functional and the
device should not be operated beyond such conditions. All voltages are measured with respect to the ground pin, unless otherwise specified
Note 2: The Electrical Characteristics tables list guaranteed specifications under the listed Recommended Operating Conditions except as otherwise modified
or specified by the Electrical Characteristics Conditions and/or Notes. Typical specifications are estimations only and are not guaranteed.
Note 3: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by T

Note 6: Typical values represent most likely parametric norms at TA = +25ºC, and at the Recommended Operation Conditions at the time of product
characterization and are not guaranteed.
Note 7: Datasheet min/max specification limits are guaranteed by test or statistical analysis.
