Description
The TS4909 is a stereo audio amplifier designed
to drive headphones in portable applications.
The integrated phantom ground is a circuit
topology that eliminates the heavy output coupling
capacitors. This is of primary importance in
portable applications where space constraints are
very high. A single-ended configuration is also
available, offering even lower power consumption
because the phantom ground can be s witched off.

Pop-and-click noise during switch-on and switchoff phases is eliminated by integrated circuitry.
Specially designed for applications requiring low
power supplies, the TS4909 is capable of
delivering 31mW of continuous average power
into a 32Ω load with less than 1% THD+N from a
3V power supply.
Featuring an active low standby mode, the
TS4909 reduces the supply current to only 10nA
(typ.). The TS4909 is unity ga in stable an d can be
configured by external gain-setting resistors.
Inverting input resistor that sets the closed loop gain in conjunction with R
resistor also forms a high pass filter with C
(fc = 1 / (2 x Pi x Rin x Cin)).

4.1 General description
The TS4909 integrates two monolithic power amplifiers. The amplifier output can be
configured to provide either single-ended (SE) capacitively-coupled output or phantom
ground (PHG) capacitor-less output. Fig ure 1: T ypical applications f or the TS4909 on page 3
shows schematics for each of these configurations.

4.5 Decoupling of the circuit
Two capacitors are needed to properly bypass the TS4909 — a power supply capacitor Cs
and a bias voltage bypass capacit or C
C

s
the power supply disturbances. With 1 μF, you could expect the THD+N performance to be
similar to the values shown in this datasheet. If C
high frequencies and disturbances on the p ower supply r ail are less filtered. O n the contrary,
if C
is higher than 1 μF, those disturbances on the power supply rail are more filtered.

Application informationTS4909
Example calculation:
With Rin=20kΩ and FCL= 20Hz, -3db low cut-off frequency, Cin= 398nF. So, Cin= 390nF
with standard value which gives a lower cut-off frequency equal to 20.4Hz.
In this case,
τ
= RinxCin=7.8ms
in
This value is sufficient with regards to the previous f ormula, so we can state that the pop will
be imperceptible.
Connecting the headphones
Generally headphones are connected using a jack connector. To prevent pop in the
headphones while plugging in the jack, a pulldown resistor should be connected in parallel
with each headphone output. This allows the capacitors C
to be charged even when no
out
headphones are plugged in.
A resistor of 1 kΩ is high enough to be a negligible load, and low enough to charge the
capacitors C
in less than one second.
