The TS4995 features an internal fixed gain at 6dB
which reduces the number of external
components on the application board.
The device is equipped with common mode
feedback circu itry allowing outputs to be always
biased at V
/2 regardless of the input common
CC
mode voltage.
The TS4995 is specifically designed for high
quality audio applications such as mobile phones
and requires few external components.
An external standby mode control reduces the
supply current to less than 10 nA. A STBY MODE
pin allows the standby pin to be active high or
low. An internal thermal shutdown protection is
also provided, making the device capable of
sustaining short-circuits.

TS4995Application information
4 Application information
4.1 Differential configuration principle
The TS4995 is a monolithic full-differential input/ output power amplifier with fixed +6 dB
gain. The TS4995 also includes a common mode feedback loop that controls the output bias
value to average it at V
output voltage swing, and therefore, to maximize the output power. Moreover, as the load is
connected differentially instead of single-ended, output power is four times higher for the
same power supply voltage.
The advantages of a full-differential amplifier are:
●Very high PSRR (power supply rejection ratio)
●High common mode noise rejection
●Virtually no pop and click without additional circuitry, giving a faster start-up time
compared to conventional single-ended input amplifiers
●Easier interfacing with differential output audio DAC
●No input coupling capacitors required due to common mode feedback loop
In theory, the filtering of the internal bias by an external bypass capacitor is not necessary.
However, to reach maximum performance in all tolerance situations, it is recommended to
keep this option.

The maximum die temperature allowable for the TS4995 is 125° C. However, in case of
overheating, a thermal shutdown set to 150° C, puts the TS4995 in standby until the
temperature of the die is reduced by about 5° C.
