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 allowseasy and
variable gain adjustment.
Boomer audiopower amplifierswere designed
specifically to provide high quality output power with a
minimalamountofexternalcomponents.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.

necessarily include testing of all parameters.
These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.

(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
lower. For the LM4952 typical application (shown in Figure 2) with VDD= 12V, RL= 4Ω stereo operation the total power dissipation is
