LM48820

Ground-Referenced, Ultra Low Noise, Fixed Gain, 95mW

Stereo Headphone Amplifier

General Description

The LM48820 is a ground referenced, fixed-gain audio power

amplifier capable of delivering 95mW of continuous average

power into a 16Ω 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 elimi-

nating 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 applica-

tions.

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.

LM48820

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 SHUT-

DOWN) 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 out-

put, 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 dy-

namic 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 elim-

inates output transients ('clicks and pops'). This circuitry pre-

vents 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 2, the LM48820 has two internal opera-

tional 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 = 30kΩ and Ri = 20kΩ.

POWER DISSIPATION

Power dissipation is a major concern when using any power

amplifier and must be thoroughly understood to ensure a suc-

cessful design. Equation 1 states the maximum power dissi-

pation 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 tempera-

tures. From Equation 2, assuming a 3V power supply and a

16Ω load, 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)

For this micro SMD 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 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 applica-

tion of a 3V power supply, with a 16Ω load, 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 crit-

ical for low noise performance and high power supply rejec-

tion. Applications that employ a 3V power supply typically use

a 4.7µF capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF ceramic filter ca-

pacitor 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 mi-

croprocessor, or a microcontroller. When using a switch,

connect an external 100kΩ 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 micro-

controller, 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 se-

lecting external components. Though the LM48820 operates

well when using external components with wide tolerances,

best performance is achieved by optimizing component val-

ues.

www.national.com 12

LM48820

Charge Pump Capacitor Selection

Use low (<100mΩ) ESR (equivalent series resistance) ce-

ramic 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 af-

fected 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 out-

put 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 re-

sponse 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 per-

formance. 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 nec-

essary 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).

f–3dB = 1 / 2πRiCIN (Hz) (4)

Also, careful consideration must be taken in selecting a cer-

tain 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.
