LM48820 LM48820 Ground-Referenced, Ultra Low Noise, Fixed Gain, 95mW Stereo Headphone Amplifier Literature Number: SNAS370A LM48820 Ground-Referenced, Ultra Low Noise, Fixed Gain, 95mW Stereo Headphone Amplifier General Description Key Specifications The LM48820 is a ground referenced, fixed-gain audio power amplifier capable of delivering 95mW of continuous average power into a 16 single-ended load, with less than 1% THD +N from a 3V power supply. The LM48820 features a new circuit technology that utilizes a charge pump to generate a negative reference voltage. This allows the outputs to be biased about ground, thereby eliminating output-coupling capacitors typically used with normal single-ended loads. Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to provide high quality output power with a minimal number of external components. The LM48820 does not require output coupling capacitors or bootstrap capacitors, and therefore is ideally suited for mobile phone and other portable applications. The LM48820 features a low-power consumption shutdown mode selectable for each channel and a soft start function that reduces start-up current transients. Additionally, the LM48820 features an internal thermal shutdown protection mechanism. The LM48820 contains advanced pop & click circuitry that eliminates noises which would otherwise occur during turn-on and turn-off transitions. The LM48820 has an internal fixed gain of 1.5V/V.

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: 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. PDMAX = (TJMAX - TA) / (JA) (W) For this micro SMD package, JA = 86C/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 1 is greater than that of Equation 1, then either the supply voltage must be decreased, the load impedance increased or TA reduced. For the typical application of a 3V power supply, with a 16 load, the maximum ambient temperature possible without violating the maximum junction temperature is approximately 127C 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. 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 220F) 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. 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 4.7F capacitor in parallel with a 0.1F 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. 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. 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 0.05A (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 100k pull-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 guarantee 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. AMPLIFIER CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION As shown in Figure 2, 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 Rf to Ri. Consequently, the gain for each channel of the IC is AV = -(Rf / Ri) = 1.5 (V/V) (1) where RF = 30k and Ri = 20k. POWER DISSIPATION Power dissipation is a major concern when using any power amplifier and must be thoroughly understood to ensure a successful design. 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. PDMAX = (VDD) 2 / (22RL) (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 16 load, the maximum power dissipation point is 28mW per www.national.com (3) 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. 12 f-3dB = 1 / 2RiCIN (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. 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 13 www.national.com LM48820 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, Ri and the input capacitor, CINL and CINR, produce a -3dB high pass filter cutoff frequency that is found using Equation (4). 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 3.3F) improves load regulation and minimizes charge pump output resistance. The switch-on resistance dominates the output impedance for capacitor values above 2.2F. 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 2.2F, low ESR, ceramic, flying, and output capacitors.
