APPLICATION INFORMATION
SUPPLY VOLTAGE SEQUENCING
Before applying any signal to the inputs or shutdown pins of the LM48820, it is important to apply a supply
voltage to the VDD pins. After the device has been powered, signals may be applied to the shutdown pins (see
MICRO POWER SHUTDOWN) and input pins.
ELIMINATING THE OUTPUT COUPLING CAPACITOR
The LM48820 features a low noise inverting charge pump that generates an internal negative supply voltage.
This allows the outputs of the LM48820 to be biased about GND instead of a nominal DC voltage, like traditional
headphone amplifiers. Because there is no DC component, the large DC blocking capacitors (typically 220µF)
are not necessary. The coupling capacitors are replaced by two, small ceramic charge pump capacitors, saving
board space and cost.
Eliminating the output coupling capacitors also improves low frequency response. In traditional headphone
amplifiers, the headphone impedance and the output capacitor form a high pass filter that not only blocks the DC
component of the output, but also attenuates low frequencies, impacting the bass response. Because the
LM48820 does not require the output coupling capacitors, the low frequency response of the device is not
degraded by external components.
In addition to eliminating the output coupling capacitors, the ground referenced output nearly doubles the
available dynamic range of the LM48820 when compared to a traditional headphone amplifier operating from the
same supply voltage.
OUTPUT TRANSIENT ('CLICK AND POPS') ELIMINATED
The LM48820 contains advanced circuitry that virtually eliminates output transients ('clicks and pops'). This
circuitry prevents all traces of transients when the supply voltage is first applied or when the part resumes
operation after coming out of shutdown mode.
AMPLIFIER CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION
As shown in Figure 1, the LM48820 has two internal operational amplifiers. The two amplifiers have internally
configured gain, the closed loop gain is set by selecting the ratio of Rfto Ri. Consequently, the gain for each
channel of the IC is
AV= -(Rf/ Ri) = 1.5 (V/V)
where
RF= 30k
Ri= 20k(1)
POWER DISSIPATION
Power dissipation is a major concern when using any power amplifier and must be thoroughly understood to
ensure a successful design. 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) (W) (2)
Since the LM48820 has two operational amplifiers in one package, the maximum internal power dissipation point
is twice that of the number which results from Equation 2. Even with large internal power dissipation, the
LM48820 does not require heat sinking over a large range of ambient temperatures. From Equation 2 , assuming
a 3V power supply and a 16load, the maximum power dissipation point is 28mW per amplifier. Thus the
maximum package dissipation point is 56mW. The maximum power dissipation point obtained must not be
greater than the power dissipation that results from Equation 3:
PDMAX = (TJMAX - TA) / (θJA) (W) (3)

Product Folder Links: LM48820
LM48820
SNAS370B MAY 2007REVISED MAY 2013
www.ti.com
For this DSBGA package, θJA = 86°C/W and TJMAX = 150°C. Depending on the ambient temperature, TA, of the
system surroundings, Equation 3 can be used to find the maximum internal power dissipation supported by the
IC packaging. If the result of Equation 2 is greater than that of Equation 3, then either the supply voltage must be
decreased, the load impedance increased or TAreduced. For the typical application of a 3V power supply, with a
16load, the maximum ambient temperature possible without violating the maximum junction temperature is
approximately 127°C provided that device operation is around the maximum power dissipation point. Power
dissipation is a function of output power and thus, if typical operation is not around the maximum power
dissipation point, the ambient temperature may be increased accordingly.
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 3V power supply typically use a 4.7µF capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF
ceramic filter capacitor to stabilize the power supply output, reduce noise on the supply line, and improve the
supply's transient response. Keep the length of leads and traces that connect capacitors between the LM48820's
power supply pin and ground as short as possible.
MICRO POWER SHUTDOWN
The voltage applied to the SD_LC (shutdown left channel) pin and the SD_RC (shutdown right channel) pin
controls the LM48820’s shutdown function. When active, the LM48820’s micropower shutdown feature turns off
the amplifiers’ bias circuitry, reducing the supply current. The trigger point is 0.45V (max) for a logic-low level,
and 1.2V (min) for logic-high level. The low 0.05µA (typ) shutdown current is achieved by applying a voltage that
is as near as ground a possible to the SD_LC/SD_RC pins. A voltage that is higher than ground may increase
the shutdown current.
There are a few ways to control the micro-power shutdown. These include using a single-pole, single-throw
switch, a microprocessor, or a microcontroller. When using a switch, connect an external 100kpull-up resistor
between the SD_LC/SD_RC pins and VDD. Connect the switch between the SD_LC/SD_RC pins and ground.
Select normal amplifier operation by opening the switch. Closing the switch connects the SD_LC/SD_RC pins to
ground, activating micro-power shutdown. The switch and resistor ensure that the SD_LC/SD_RC pins will not
float. This prevents unwanted state changes. In a system with a microprocessor or microcontroller, use a digital
output to apply the control voltage to the SD_LC/SD_RC pins. Driving the SD_LC/SD_RC pins with active
circuitry eliminates the pull-up resistor.
SELECTING PROPER EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Optimizing the LM48820's performance requires properly selecting external components. Though the LM48820
operates well when using external components with wide tolerances, best performance is achieved by optimizing
component values.
Charge Pump Capacitor Selection
Use low (<100m) ESR (equivalent series resistance) ceramic capacitors with an X7R dielectric for best
performance. Low ESR capacitors keep the charge pump output impedance to a minimum, extending the
headroom on the negative supply. Higher ESR capacitors result in reduced output power from the audio
amplifiers.
Charge pump load regulation and output impedance are affected by the value of the flying capacitor (CC). A
larger valued CC(up to 3.3μF) improves load regulation and minimizes charge pump output resistance. The
switch-on resistance dominates the output impedance for capacitor values above 2.2μF.
The output ripple is affected by the value and ESR of the output capacitor (CSS). Larger capacitors reduce output
ripple on the negative power supply. Lower ESR capacitors minimize the output ripple and reduce the output
impedance of the charge pump.
The LM48820 charge pump design is optimized for 2.2μF, low ESR, ceramic, flying, and output capacitors.

Input Capacitor Value Selection
Amplifying the lowest audio frequencies requires high value input coupling capacitors (CINL and CINR in Figure 1).
A high value capacitor can be expensive and may compromise space efficiency in portable designs. In many
cases, however, the speakers used in portable systems, whether internal or external, have little ability to
reproduce signals below 150Hz. Applications using speakers with this limited frequency response reap little
improvement by using high value input and output capacitors.
Besides affecting system cost and size, the input coupling capacitor has an effect on the LM48820's click and
pop performance. The magnitude of the pop is directly proportional to the input capacitor's size. Thus, pops can
be minimized by selecting an input capacitor value that is no higher than necessary to meet the desired 3dB
frequency.
As shown in Figure 1, the internal input resistor, Riand the input capacitor, CINL and CINR, produce a -3dB high
pass filter cutoff frequency that is found using Equation 4.
f–3dB = 1 / 2πRiCIN (Hz) (4)
Also, careful consideration must be taken in selecting a certain type of capacitor to be used in the system.
Different types of capacitors (tantalum, electrolytic, ceramic) have unique performance characteristics and may
affect overall system performance. REVISION HISTORY
