LM4906 1W, Bypass-Capacitor-less Audio Amplifier with Internal Selectable Gain
May 2003
General Description
The LM4906 is an audio power amplifier primarily designed
for demanding applications in mobile phones and other portable communication device applications. It is capable of
delivering 1W of continuous average power to an 8Ω BTL
load with less than 1% distortion (THD+N) from a +5V power
supply.
The LM4906 is the first National Semiconductor Boomer
Power Amplifier that does not require an external PSRR
bypass capacitor. The LM4906 also has an internal selectable gain of either 6dB or 12dB. In addition, no output
coupling capacitors or bootstrap capacitors are required
which makes the LM4906 ideally suited for cell phone and
other low voltage portable applications.
The LM4906 contains advanced pop and click circuitry that
eliminates noise, which would otherwise occur during
turn-on and turn-off transitions.
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to
provide high quality output power with a minimal amount of
external components. The LM4906 features a low -power
consumption shutdown mode (the part is enabled by pulling
the SD pin high). Additionally, the LM4906 features an internal thermal shutdown protection mechanism.

Note 1: All voltages are measured with respect to the ground pin, unless otherwise specified.
Note 2: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. Electrical Characteristics state DC andAC electrical specifications under particular test conditions which

is given; however, the typical value is a good indication of device performance.
