LM4941 1.25 Watt Fully Differential Audio Power Amplifier With RF Suppression and Shutdown March 2007 LM4941  1.25 Watt Fully Differential Audio Power Amplifier With RF Suppression and Shutdown General Description The LM4941 is a fully differential audio power amplifier primarily designed for demanding applications in mobile phones and other portable communication device applications. It is capable of delivering 1.25 watts of continuous average power to a 8Ω load with less than 1% distortion (THD+N) from a 5VDC power supply. The LM4941 does not require output coupling capacitors or bootstrap capacitors, and therefore is ideally suited for mobile phone and other small form factor applications where minimal PCB space is a primary requirement. The LM4941 also features proprietary internal circuitry that suppresses the coupling of RF signals into the chip. This is important because certain types of RF signals (such as GSM) can couple into audio amplifiers in such a way that part of the signal is heard through the speaker. The RF suppression circuitry in the LM4941 makes it well-suited for portable applications in which strong RF signals generated by an antenna from or a cellular phone or other portable electronic device may couple audibly into the amplifier. Other features include a low-power consumption shutdown mode, internal thermal shutdown protection, and advanced pop & click circuitry.

However, certain external factors, such as output trace length, output trace orientation, distance between the chip and the antenna, antenna strength, speaker type, and type of RF signal, may affect the RF immunity of the LM4941. In general, the RF immunity of the LM4941 is application specific. Nevertheless, optimal RF immunity can be achieved by using short output traces and increasing the distance between the LM4941 and the antenna. DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER EXPLANATION The LM4941 is a fully differential audio amplifier that features differential input and output stages. Internally this is accomplished by two circuits: a differential amplifier and a common mode feedback amplifier that adjusts the output voltages so that the average value remains VDD / 2. When setting the differential gain, the amplifier can be considered to have "halves". Each half uses an input and feedback resistor (Ri and RF) to set its respective closed-loop gain (see Figure 1). With Ri1 = Ri2 and RF1 = RF2, the gain is set at -RF / Ri for each half. This results in a differential gain of AVD = -RF/Ri (1) a single-ended output configuration, the half-supply bias across the load would result in both increased internal IC power dissipation as well as permanent loudspeaker damage. Further advantages of bridged mode operation specific to fully differential amplifiers like the LM4941 include increased power supply rejection ratio, common-mode noise reduction, and click and pop reduction. POWER DISSIPATION Power dissipation is a major concern when designing a successful amplifier, whether the amplifier is bridged or singleended. Equation 2 states the maximum power dissipation point for a single-ended amplifier operating at a given supply voltage and driving a specified output load. PDMAX = (VDD)2 / (2π2RL) Single-Ended (2) However, a direct consequence of the increased power delivered to the load by a bridge amplifier is an increase in internal power dissipation versus a single-ended amplifier operating at the same conditions. PDMAX = 4 * (VDD)2 / (2π2RL) Bridge Mode (3) It is extremely important to match the input resistors to each other, as well as the feedback resistors to each other for best amplifier performance. See the Proper Selection of External Components section for more information. A differential amplifier works in a manner where the difference between the two input signals is amplified. In most applications, input signals will be 180° out of phase with each other. The LM4941 can be used, however, as a single-ended input amplifier while still retaining its fully differential benefits because it simply amplifies the difference between the inputs. All of these applications provide what is known as a "bridged mode" output (bridge-tied-load, BTL). This results in output signals that are 180° out of phase with respect to each other. Bridged mode operation is different from the single-ended amplifier configuration that connects the load between the amplifier output and ground. A bridged amplifier design has distinct advantages over the single-ended configuration: it provides differential drive to the load, thus doubling maximum possible output swing for a specific supply voltage. Four times the output power is possible compared with a single-ended amplifier under the same conditions. This increase in attainable output power assumes that the amplifier is not current limited or clipped. In order to choose an amplifier's closedloop gain without causing excess clipping, please refer to the Audio Power Amplifier Design section. A bridged configuration, such as the one used in the LM4941, also creates a second advantage over single-ended amplifiers. Since the differential outputs are biased at half-supply, no net DC voltage exists across the load. This assumes that the input resistor pair and the feedback resistor pair are properly matched (see Proper Selection of External Components). BTL configuration eliminates the output coupling capacitor required in single-supply, single-ended amplifier configurations. If an output coupling capacitor is not used in Since the LM4941 has bridged outputs, the maximum internal power dissipation is four times that of a single-ended amplifier. Even with this substantial increase in power dissipation, the LM4941 does not require additional heatsinking under most operating conditions and output loading. From Equation 3, assuming a 5V power supply and an 8Ω load, the maximum power dissipation point is 625mW. The maximum power dissipation point obtained from Equation 3 must not be greater than the power dissipation results from Equation 4: PDMAX = (TJMAX - TA) / θJA (4) The LM4941's θJA in an TMD09AAA package is 100°C/W. Depending on the ambient temperature, TA, of the system surroundings, Equation 4 can be used to find the maximum internal power dissipation supported by the IC packaging. If the result of Equation 3 is greater than that of Equation 4, then either the supply voltage must be decreased, the load impedance increased, the ambient temperature reduced, or the θJA reduced with heatsinking. In many cases, larger traces near the output, VDD, and GND pins can be used to lower the θJA. The larger areas of copper provide a form of heatsinking allowing higher power dissipation. For the typical application of a 5V power supply, with an 8Ω load, the maximum ambient temperature possible without violating the maximum junction temperature is approximately 87.5°C provided that device operation is around the maximum power dissipation point. Recall that internal power dissipation is a function of output power. If typical operation is not around the maximum power dissipation point, the LM4941 can operate at higher ambient temperatures. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics curves for power dissipation information. POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING As with any power amplifier, proper supply bypassing is critical for low noise performance and high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR). The capacitor location on both the bypass and power supply pins should be as close to the device as possible. Typical applications employ a 5V regulator with 10µF and 0.1µF bypass capacitors that increase supply sta- www.national.com 8 LM4941 bility. This, however, does not eliminate the need for bypassing the supply nodes of the LM4941. The LM4941 will operate without the bypass capacitor CB, although the PSRR may decrease. A 1µF capacitor is recommended for CB. This value maximizes PSRR performance. Lesser values may be used, but PSRR decreases at frequencies below 1kHz. The issue of CB selection is thus dependant upon desired PSRR and click and pop performance as explained in the section Proper Selection of External Components. SHUTDOWN FUNCTION In order to reduce power consumption while not in use, the LM4941 contains shutdown circuitry that is used to turn off the amplifier's bias circuitry. The device may then be placed into shutdown mode by toggling the SHDN pin to logic low. It is best to switch between ground and supply for maximum performance. While the device may be disabled with shutdown voltages in between ground and supply, the idle current may be greater than the typical value of 0.1µA. In either case, the SHDN pin should be tied to a definite voltage to avoid unwanted state changes. In many applications, a microcontroller or microprocessor output is used to control the shutdown circuitry, which provides a quick, smooth transition to shutdown. Another solution is to use a single-throw switch in conjunction with an external pull-up resistor. This scheme guarantees that the shutdown pin will not float, thus preventing unwanted state changes. PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS Proper selection of external components in applications using integrated power amplifiers is critical when optimizing device and system performance. Although the LM4941 is tolerant to a variety of external component combinations, consideration of component values must be made when maximizing overall system quality. The LM4941 is unity-gain stable, giving the designer maximum system flexibility. The LM4941 should be used in low closed-loop gain configurations to minimize THD+N values and maximize signal to noise ratio. Low gain configurations require large input signals to obtain a given output power. Input signals equal to or greater than 1VRMS are available from sources such as audio codecs. When used in its typical application as a fully differential power amplifier the LM4941 does not require input coupling capacitors for input sources with DC common-mode voltages of less than VDD. Exact allowable input common-mode voltage levels are actually a function of VDD, Ri, and RF and may be determined by Equation 5: VCMi < (VDD-1.2)(Ri+RF)/RF-VDD/2(Ri/ RF) -RF / Ri = AVD (5) (6) When using DC coupled inputs, special care must be taken to match the values of the input resistors (Ri1 and Ri2) to each other. Because of the balanced nature of differential amplifiers, resistor matching differences can result in net DC currents across the load. This DC current can increase power consumption, internal IC power dissipation, reduce PSRR, and possibly damaging the loudspeaker. The chart below demonstrates this problem by showing the effects of differing values between the feedback resistors while assuming that the input resistors are perfectly matched. The results below apply to the application circuit shown in Figure 1, and assumes that VDD = 5V, RL = 8Ω, and the system has DC coupled inputs tied to ground.
