LM4876
1.1W Audio Power Amplifier with Shutdown Logic Low
LM4876 1.1W Audio Power Amplifier with Shutdown Logic Low
General Description
The LM4876 is a bridge-connected audio power amplifier capable of delivering typically 1.1W of continuous average
power to an 8Ω load with 0.5%(THD) from a 5V power supply.
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to
provide high quality output power with a minimal amount of
external components. Since the LM4876 does not require
output coupling capacitors, bootstrap capacitors, or snubber
networks, it is optionally suited for low-power portable systems.
The LM4876 features an externally controlled, low-power
consumption shutdown mode, which is achieved by driving
pin 1 with logic low. Additionally, the LM4876 features an internal thermal shutdown protection mechanism.
The LM4876 is unity-gain stable and can be configured by
external gain-setting resistors.
