General Description
The LM1896 is a high performance 6V stereo power amplifier designed to deliver 1 watt/channel into 4X or 2 watts
bridged monaural into 8X. Utilizing a unique patented compensation scheme, the LM1896 is ideal for sensitive AM
radio applications. This new circuit technique exhibits lower
wideband noise, lower distortion, and less AM radiation than
conventional designs. The amplifier’s wide supply range
(3V–9V) is ideal for battery operation. For higher supplies
l
(V
9V) the LM2896 is available in an 11-lead single-in-
S
line package. The LM2896 package has been redesigned,
resulting in the slightly degraded thermal characteristics
shown in the figure Device Dissipation vs Ambient Temperature.

AM Radios
The LM1896/LM2896 has been designed fo fill a wide
range of audio power applications. A common problem with
IC audio power amplifiers has been poor signal-to-noise performance when used in AM radio applications. In a typical
radio application, the loopstick antenna is in close proximity
to the audio amplifer. Current flowing in the speaker and
power supply leads can cause electromagnetic coupling to
the loopstick, resulting in system oscillation. In addition,
most audio power amplifiers are not optimized for lowest
noise because of compensation requirements. If noise from
the audio amplifier radiates into the AM section, the sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio will be degraded.
The LM1896 exhibits extremely low wideband noise due in
part to an external capacitor C5 which is used to tailor the
bandwidth. The circuit shown in
signal-to-noise ratio in excess of 60 dB referred to 50 mW.
Capacitor C5 not only limits the closed loop bandwidth, it
also provides overall loop compensation. Neglecting C2 in

field strength in mV/M. The receiver section in this example
is an LM3820. The power amplifier is located about two
inches from the loopstick antenna. Speaker leads run parallel to the loopstick and are 1/8 inch from it. Referenced to a
20 dB S/N ratio, the improvement in noise performance
over conventional designs is about 10 dB. This corresponds
to an increase in usable sensitivity of about 8.5 dB.
Bridge Amplifiers
The LM1896/LM2896 can be used in the bridge mode as a
monaural power amplifier. In addition to much higher power
output, the bridge configuration does not require output coupling capacitors. The load is connected directly between the
amplifier outputs as shown in

CBis used to prevent DC voltage on the output of amp 1
from causing offset in amp 2. Low frequency response is
influenced by:
Several precautions should be observed when using the
LM1896/LM2896 in bridge configuration. Because the amplifiers are driving the load out of phase, an 8X speaker will
appear as a 4X load, and a 4X speaker will appear as a 2X
load. Power dissipation is twice as severe in this situation.
For example, if V
maximum dissipation is:
This amount of dissipation is equivalent to driving two 4X
loads in the stereo configuration.
When adjusting the frequency response in the bridge configuration, R5C5 and R10C10 form a 2 pole cascade and the
