DESCRIPTION
The LM4952 is a dual audio power amplifier primarily
designed for demanding applications in flat panel
monitors and TV's. It is capable of delivering 3.1
watts per channel to a 4Ω single-ended load with less
than 1% THD+N when powered by a 12VDCpower
supply.
Eliminating external feedback resistors, an internal,
DC-controlled, volume control allows easy and
variable gain adjustment.
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed
specifically to provide high quality output power with a
minimal amount of external components. The
LM4952 does not require bootstrap capacitors or
snubber circuits. Therefore, it is ideally suited for
display applications requiring high power and minimal
size.
The LM4952 features a low-power consumption
active-low shutdown mode. Additionally, the LM4952
features an internal thermal shutdown protection
mechanism along with short circuit protection.
The LM4952 contains advanced pop & click circuitry
that eliminates noises which would otherwise occur
during turn-on and turn-off transitions.

(1) All voltages are measured with respect to the GND pin, unless otherwise specified.
(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 specify specific performance limits. Electrical Characteristics state DC and AC electrical
specifications under particular test conditions which specify specific performance limits. This assumes that the device is within the
Operating Ratings. Specifications are not specified for parameters where no limit is given, however, the typical value is a good indication
of device performance.
(3) If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and
specifications.
(4) The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by T
TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation is P

APPLICATION INFORMATION
HIGH VOLTAGE BOOMER WITH INCREASED OUTPUT POWER
Figure 40. Typical LM4952 SE Application Circuit
www.ti.com
Unlike previous 5V Boomer amplifiers, the LM4952 is designed to operate over a power supply voltages range of
9.6V to 16V. Operating on a 12V power supply, the LM4952 will deliver 3.8W into a 4Ω SE load with no more
than 10% THD+N.
POWER DISSIPATION
Power dissipation is a major concern when designing a successful single-ended or bridged amplifier. Equation 1
states the maximum power dissipation point for a single-ended amplifier operating at a given supply voltage and
driving a specified output load.
P
The LM4952's dissipation is twice the value given by Equation 1 when driving two SE loads. For a 12V supply
and two 4Ω SE loads, the LM4952's dissipation is 1.82W.
The maximum power dissipation point given by Equation 1 must not exceed the power dissipation given by
Equation 2:

maximum junction temperature by reducing the power supply voltage or increasing the load resistance. Further
allowance should be made for increased ambient temperatures.
The above examples assume that a device is operating around the maximum power dissipation point. Since
internal power dissipation is a function of output power, higher ambient temperatures are allowed as output
power or duty cycle decreases.
If the result of Equation 1 is greater than that of Equation 2, then decrease the supply voltage, increase the load
impedance, or reduce the ambient temperature. Further, ensure that speakers rated at a nominal 4Ω do not fall
below 3Ω. If these measures are insufficient, a heat sink can be added to reduce θJA. The heat sink can be
created using additional copper area around the package, with connections to the ground pins, supply pin and
amplifier output pins. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics curves for power dissipation information at
lower output power levels.
POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE LIMITS
Continuous proper operation is ensured by never exceeding the voltage applied to any pin, with respect to
ground, as listed in Absolute Maximum Ratings
(1)(2)(3)
.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
As with any power amplifier, proper supply bypassing is critical for low noise performance and high power supply
rejection. Applications that employ a voltage regulator typically use a 10µF in parallel with a 0.1µF filter
capacitors to stabilize the regulator's output, reduce noise on the supply line, and improve the supply's transient
response. However, their presence does not eliminate the need for a local 10µF tantalum bypass capacitance
connected between the LM4952's supply pins and ground. Do not substitute a ceramic capacitor for the
tantalum. Doing so may cause oscillation. Keep the length of leads and traces that connect capacitors between
the LM4952's power supply pin and ground as short as possible.
BYPASS PIN BYPASSING
Connecting a 4.7µF capacitor, C

capacitor value increases. Too large, however, increases turn-on time. The selection of bypass capacitor values,
especially C
, depends on desired PSRR requirements, click and pop performance (as explained in
BYPASS
SELECTING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS), system cost, and size constraints.

BYPASS
MICRO-POWER SHUTDOWN
The LM4952 features an active-low micro-power shutdown mode. When active, the LM4952's micro-power
shutdown feature turns off the amplifier's bias circuitry, reducing the supply current. The low 55µA typical
shutdown current is achieved by applying a voltage to the SHUTDOWN pin that is as near to GND as possible. A
voltage that is greater than GND may increase the shutdown current.
(1) All voltages are measured with respect to the GND pin, unless otherwise specified.
(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 specify specific performance limits. Electrical Characteristics state DC and AC electrical
specifications under particular test conditions which specify specific performance limits. This assumes that the device is within the
Operating Ratings. Specifications are not specified for parameters where no limit is given, however, the typical value is a good indication
of device performance.

There are a few methods to control the micro-power shutdown. These include using a single-pole, single-throw
switch (SPST), a microprocessor, or a microcontroller. Figure 41 shows a simple switch-based circuit that can be
used to control the LM4952's shutdown fucntion. Select normal amplifier operation by closing the switch.
Opening the switch applies GND to the SHUTDOWN pin, activating micro-power shutdown. The switch and
resistor ensure that the SHUTDOWN pin will not float. This prevents unwanted state changes. In a system with a
microprocessor or a microcontroller, use a digital output to apply the active-state voltage to the SHUTDOWN pin.
Figure 41. Simple switch and voltage divider generates shutdown control signal
DC VOLUME CONTROL
The LM4952 has an internal stereo volume control whose setting is a function of the DC voltage applied to the
DC VOL input pin.
The LM4952 volume control consists of 31 steps that are individually selected by a variable DC voltage level on
the volume control pin. As shown in Figure 42, the range of the steps, controlled by the DC voltage, is 20dB to 46dB.
The gain levels are 1dB/step from 20dB to 14dB, 2dB/step from 14dB to -16dB, 3dB/step from -16dB to -27dB,
4dB/step from -27db to -31dB, 5dB/step from -31dB to -46dB.
Like all volume controls, the LM4952's internal volume control is set while listening to an amplified signal that is
applied to an external speaker. The actual voltage applied to the DC VOL input pin is a result of the volume a
listener desires. As such, the volume control is designed for use in a feedback system that includes human ears
and preferences. This feedback system operates quite well without the need for accurate gain. The user simply
sets the volume to the desired level as determined by their ear, without regard to the actual DC voltage that

produces the volume. Therefore, the accuracy of the volume control is not critical, as long as volume changes
monotonically and step size is small enough to reach a desired volume that is not too loud or too soft. Since the
gain is not critical, there may be a volume variation from part-to-part even with the same applied DC volume
control voltage. The gain of a given LM4952 can be set with fixed external voltage, but another LM4952 may
require a different control voltage to achieve the same gain. Figure 43 is a curve showing the volume variation of
five typical LM4952s as the voltage applied to the DC VOL input pin is varied. For gains between –20dB and
+16dB, the typical part-to-part variation is typically ±1dB for a given control voltage.
Figure 43. Typical Part-to-Part Gain Variation as a Function of DC Vol Control Voltage
VOLUME CONTROL VOLTAGE GENERATION
Figure 44 shows a simple circuit that can be used to create an adjustable DC control voltage that is applied to
the DC Vol input. The 91kΩ series resistor and the 50kΩ potentiometer create a voltage divider between the
supply voltage, VDD, and GND. The series resistor’s value assumes a 12V power supply voltage. The voltage
present at the node between the series resistor and the top of the potentiometer need only be a nominal value of
3.5V and must not exceed 9.5V, as stated in the LM4952’s Absolute Maximum Ratings.
UNREGULATED POWER SUPPLIES AND THE DC VOL CONTROL
As an amplifier’s output power increases, the current that flows from the power supply also increases. If an
unregulated power supply is used, its output voltage can decrease (“droop” or “sag”) as this current increases. It
is not uncommon for an unloaded unregulated 15V power supply connected to the LM4952 to sag by as much as
2V when the amplifier is drawing 1A to 2A while driving 4Ω stereo loads to full power dissipation. Figure 45 is an
oscilloscope photo showing an unregulated power supply’s voltage sag while powering an LM4952 that is driving
4Ω stereo loads. The amplifier’s input is a typical music signal supplied by a CD player. As shown, the sag can
be quite significant.

Figure 45. LM4952 Operating on an Unregulated 12V (Nominal) Power Supply
This sagging supply voltage presents a potential problem when the voltage that drives the DC Vol pin is derived
from the voltage supplied by an unregulated power supply. This is the case for the typical volume control circuit
(a 50kΩ potentiometer in series with a 91kΩ resistor) shown in Figure 44. The potentiometer’s wiper is
connected to the DC Vol pin. With this circuit, power supply voltage fluctuations will be seen by the DC Vol input.
Though attenuated by the voltage divider action of the potentiometer and the series resistor, these fluctuations
may cause perturbations in the perceived volume. An easy and simple solution that suppresses these
perturbations is a 10μF capacitor connected between the DC Vol pin and ground. See the result of this capacitor
in Figure 46. This capacitance can also be supplemented with bulk capacitance in the range of 1000μF to
10,000μF connected to the unregulated power supply’s output. Figure 48 shows how this bulk capacitance
minimizes fluctuations on VDD.
Same conditions and waveforms as shown in Figure 45, except that a 10μF capacitor has been connected between
the DC VOL pin and GND (Trace D).
Figure 46.
If space constraints preclude the use of a 10μF capacitor connected to the DC Vol pin or large amounts of bulk
supply capacitance, or if more resistance to the fluctuations is desired, using an LM4040-4.1 voltage reference
shown in Figure 47 is recommended. The value of the 91kΩ resistor, already present in the typical volume
applications circuit, should be changed to 62kΩ. This sets the LM4040-4.1’s bias current at 125μA when using a
nominal 12V supply, well within the range of current needed by this reference.

SELECTING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Input Capacitor Value Selection
Two quantities determine the value of the input coupling capacitor: the lowest audio frequency that requires
amplification and desired output transient suppression.
The amplifier's input resistance and the input capacitor (CIN) produce a high pass filter cutoff frequency that is
found using Equation 5.
F
= 1/(2πRINCIN) (5)
CIN
As an example when using a speaker with a low frequency limit of 50Hz and based on the LM4952's 44kΩ
nominal minimum input resistance, CIN, using Equation 5 is 0.072μF. The 0.39μF C
the LM4952 to drive high efficiency, full range speaker whose response extends below 30Hz.
Similarly, the output coupling capacitor and the load impedance also form a high pass filter. The cutoff frequency
formed by these two components is found using Equation 6.
f

= 1/(2πR
LOADCOUT
) (6)
Expanding on the example above and assuming a nominal speaker impedance of 4Ω, response below 30Hz is
assured if the output coupling capacitors have a value, using Equation 6, greater than 1330μF.
Bypass Capacitor Value
Besides minimizing the input capacitor size, careful consideration should be paid to value of C
capacitor connected to the BYPASS pin. Since C
BYPASS
determines how fast the LM4952 settles to quiescent
operation, its value is critical when minimizing turn-on pops. The slower the LM4952’s outputs ramp to their
quiescent DC voltage (nominally VDD/2), the smaller the turn-on pop. Choosing C
a small value of CIN(in the range of 0.1μF to 0.39μF) produces a click-less and pop-less shutdown function. As
discussed above, choosing CINno larger than necessary for the desired bandwidth helps minimize clicks and
pops.

Routing Input and BYPASS Capacitor Grounds
Optimizing the LM4952’s low distortion performance is easily accomplished by connecting the input signal’s
ground reference directly to the DDPAK’s grounded tab connection. In like manner, the ground lead of the
capacitor connected between the BYPASS pin and GND should also be connected to the package’s grounded
tab.
OPTIMIZING CLICK AND POP REDUCTION PERFORMANCE
The LM4952 contains circuitry that eliminates turn-on and shutdown transients ("clicks and pops"). For this
discussion, turn-on refers to either applying the power supply voltage or when the micro-power shutdown mode
is deactivated.
As the VDD/4 voltage present at the BYPASS pin ramps to its final value, the LM4952's internal amplifiers are
muted. Once the voltage at the BYPASS pin reaches VDD/4, the amplifiers are unmuted.
The gain of the internal amplifiers remains unity until the voltage on the bypass pin reaches VDD/4. As soon as
the voltage on the bypass pin is stable, the device becomes fully operational and the amplifier outputs are
reconnected to their respective output pins.
In order eliminate "clicks and pops", all capacitors must be discharged before turn-on. Rapidly switching VDDmay
not allow the capacitors to fully discharge, which may cause "clicks and pops".
There is a relationship between the value of CINand C

is applied or the shutdown mode is deactivated. Best performance is achieved by selecting a C
that ensures minimum output transient when power

endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
