The LM4926 is a ground referenced, fixed-gain audio power
amplifier capable of delivering 80mW of continuous average
power into a 16Ω single-ended load with less than 1%
THD+N from a 3V power supply.
The LM4926 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.
The LM4926 features an Automatic Standby Mode circuitry
(patent pending). In the absence of an input signal, after
approximately 12 seconds, the LM4926 goes into low current standby mode. The LM4926 recovers into full power
operating mode immediately after a signal is applied to either
the left or right input pins. This feature saves power supply
current in battery operated applications.
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to
provide high quality output power with a minimal amount of
external components. The LM4926 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 LM4926 features a low-power consumption shutdown
mode selectable for either channel separately. This is accomplished by driving either the SD_RC (Shutdown Right
Channel) or SD_LC (Shutdown Left Channel) (or both) pins
with logic low, depending on which channel is desired shutdown. Additionally, the LM4926 features an internal thermal
shutdown protection mechanism.
The LM4926 contains advanced pop & click circuitry that
eliminates noises which would otherwise occur during
turn-on and turn-off transitions.
The LM4926 has an internal fixed gain of 1.5V/V.

Note 1: All voltages are measured with respect to the GND 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 and AC electrical specifications under particular test conditions that
guarantee specific performance limits. This assumes that the device is within the Operating Ratings. Specifications are not guaranteed for parameters where no limit
is given; however, the typical value is a good indication of device performance.
