APPLICATION INFORMATION
AMPLIFIER CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION
As shown in Figure 1, the LM4929 has three operational amplifiers internally. Two of the amplifier's have
externally configurable gain while the other amplifier is internally fixed at the bias point acting as a unity-gain
buffer. The closed-loop gain of the two configurable amplifiers is set by selecting the ratio of Rfto Ri.
Consequently, the gain for each channel of the IC is
AVD = -(Rf/ Ri) (1)
By driving the loads through outputs VoA and VoB with VoC acting as a buffered bias voltage the LM4929 does
not require output coupling capacitors. The classical single-ended amplifier configuration where one side of the
load is connected to ground requires large, expensive output coupling capacitors.
A configuration such as the one used in the LM4929 has a major advantage over single supply, single-ended
amplifiers. Since the outputs VoA, VoB, and VoC are all biased at 1/2 VDD, no net DC voltage exists across each
load. This eliminates the need for output coupling capacitors which are required in a single-supply, single-ended
amplifier configuration. Without output coupling capacitors in a typical single-supply, single-ended amplifier, the
bias voltage is placed across the load resulting in both increased internal IC power dissipation and possible
loudspeaker damage.
The LM4929 eliminates these output coupling capacitors by running in OCL mode. Unless shorted to ground,
VoC is internally configured to apply a 1/2 VDD bias voltage to a stereo headphone jack's sleeve. This voltage
matches the bias voltage present on VoA and VoB outputs that drive the headphones. The headphones operate
in a manner similar to a bridge-tied load (BTL). Because the same DC voltage is applied to both headphone
speaker terminals this results in no net DC current flow through the speaker. AC current flows through a
headphone speaker as an audio signal's output amplitude increases on the speaker's terminal.
The headphone jack's sleeve is not connected to circuit ground when used in OCL mode. Using the headphone
output jack as a line-level output will place the LM4929's 1/2 VDD bias voltage on a plug's sleeve connection. This
presents no difficulty when the external equipment uses capacitively coupled inputs. For the very small minority
of equipment that is DC coupled, the LM4929 monitors the current supplied by the amplifier that drives the
headphone jack's sleeve. If this current exceeds 500mAPK, the amplifier is shutdown, protecting the LM4929 and
the external equipment.
POWER DISSIPATION
Power dissipation is a major concern when using any power amplifier and must be thoroughly understood to
ensure a successful design. When operating in capacitor-coupled mode, 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) (2)
Since the LM4929 has three operational amplifiers in one package, the maximum power dissipation increases
due to the use of the third amplifier as a buffer and is given in Equation 3:
PDMAX = 4(VDD)2/ (2π2RL) (3)
The maximum power dissipation point obtained from Equation 3 must not be greater than the power dissipation
that results from Equation 4:
PDMAX = (TJMAX - TA) / θJA (4)
For package DGS, θJA = 190°C/W. TJMAX = 150°C for the LM4929. 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 or TAreduced. For the typical application of a 3V power
supply, with a 32Ωload, the maximum ambient temperature possible without violating the maximum junction
temperature is approximately 144°C provided that device operation is around the maximum power dissipation
point. Thus, for typical applications, power dissipation is not an issue. 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. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics for power dissipation information
for lower output powers.

POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
As with any amplifier, proper supply bypassing is important for low noise performance and high power supply
rejection. The capacitor location on the power supply pins should be as close to the device as possible.
Typical applications employ a 3V regulator with 10mF tantalum or electrolytic capacitor and a ceramic bypass
capacitor which aid in supply stability. This does not eliminate the need for bypassing the supply nodes of the
LM4929. A bypass capacitor value in the range of 0.1µF to 1µF is recommended for CS.
MICRO POWER SHUTDOWN
The voltage applied to the SHUTDOWN pin controls the LM4929's shutdown function. Activate micro-power
shutdown by applying a logic-low voltage to the SHUTDOWN pin. When active, the LM4929's micro-power
shutdown feature turns off the amplifier's bias circuitry, reducing the supply current. The trigger point varies
depending on supply voltage and is shown in the Shutdown Hysteresis Voltage graphs in the Typical
Performance Characteristics section. The low 0.1µA(typ) shutdown current is achieved by applying a voltage that
is as near as ground as possible to the SHUTDOWN pin. 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 100kΩ
pull-up resistor between the SHUTDOWN pin and VDD. Connect the switch between the SHUTDOWN pin and
ground. Select normal amplifier operation by opening the switch. Closing the switch connects the SHUTDOWN
pin to ground, activating micro-power shutdown.
The switch and resistor ensure that the SHUTDOWN pin 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
SHUTDOWN pin. Driving the SHUTDOWN pin with active circuitry eliminates the pull-up resistor.
Shutdown enable/disable times are controlled by a combination of CBand VDD. Larger values of CBresults in
longer turn on/off times from Shutdown. Smaller VDD values also increase turn on/off time for a given value of CB.
Longer shutdown times also improve the LM4929's resistance to click and pop upon entering or returning from
shutdown. For a 2.4V supply and CB= 4.7µF, the LM4929 requires about 2 seconds to enter or return from
shutdown. This longer shutdown time enables the LM4929 to have virtually zero pop and click transients upon
entering or release from shutdown.
Smaller values of CBwill decrease turn-on time, but at the cost of increased pop and click and reduced PSRR.
Since shutdown enable/disable times increase dramatically as supply voltage gets below 2.2V, this reduced turn-
on time may be desirable if extreme low supply voltage levels are used as this would offset increases in turn-on
time caused by the lower supply voltage. This technique is not recommended for OCL mode since shutdown
enable/disable times are very fast (0.5s) independent of supply voltage.
PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Proper selection of external components in applications using integrated power amplifiers is critical to optimize
device and system performance. While the LM4929 is tolerant of external component combinations,
consideration to component values must be used to maximize overall system quality.
The LM4929 is unity-gain stable which gives the designer maximum system flexibility. The LM4929 should be
used in low gain configurations to minimize THD+N values, and maximize the 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. Very large values should not be used for the gain-setting
resistors. Values for Riand Rfshould be less than 1MΩ. Please refer to the section, AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER
DESIGN, for a more complete explanation of proper gain selection
Besides gain, one of the major considerations is the closed-loop bandwidth of the amplifier. To a large extent, the
bandwidth is dictated by the choice of external components shown in Figure 2. The input coupling capacitor, Ci,
forms a first order high pass filter which limits low frequency response. This value should be chosen based on
needed frequency response and turn-on time.
SELECTION OF INPUT CAPACITOR SIZE
Amplifying the lowest audio frequencies requires a high value input coupling capacitor, Ci. A high value capacitor
can be expensive and may compromise space efficiency in portable designs. In many cases, however, the
headphones used in portable systems have little ability to reproduce signals below 60Hz. Applications using
headphones with this limited frequency response reap little improvement by using a high value input capacitor.

SNAS293B –DECEMBER 2004–REVISED APRIL 2013
In addition to system cost and size, turn on time is affected by the size of the input coupling capacitor Ci. A larger
input coupling capacitor requires more charge to reach its quiescent DC voltage. This charge comes from the
output via the feedback Thus, by minimizing the capacitor size based on necessary low frequency response,
turn-on time can be minimized. A small value of Ci(in the range of 0.1µF to 0.39µF), is recommended.
AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER DESIGN
A 25mW/32ΩAUDIO AMPLIFIER
Given:
Power Output 25mWrms
Load Impedance 32Ω
Input Level 1Vrms
Input Impedance 20kΩ
A designer must first determine the minimum supply rail to obtain the specified output power. By extrapolating
from the Output Power vs Supply Voltage graphs in the Typical Performance Characteristics section, the supply
rail can be easily found.
3V is a standard voltage in most applications, it is chosen for the supply rail. Extra supply voltage creates
headroom that allows the LM4929 to reproduce peak in excess of 25mW without producing audible distortion. At
this time, the designer must make sure that the power supply choice along with the output impedance does not
violate the conditions explained in the POWER DISSIPATION section.
Once the power dissipation equations have been addressed, the required gain can be determined from
Equation 5.
(5)
From Equation 5, the minimum AVis 0.89; use AV= 1. Since the desired input impedance is 20kΩ, and with a AV
gain of 1, a ratio of 1:1 results from Equation 1 for Rfto Ri. The values are chosen with Ri= 20kΩand Rf= 20kΩ.
The final design step is to address the bandwidth requirements which must be stated as a pair of -3dB frequency
points. Five times away from a -3dB point is 0.17dB down from passband response which is better than the
required ± 0.25dB specified.
fL= 100Hz/5 = 20Hz
fH= 20kHz * 5 = 100kHz
As stated in the External Components section, Riin conjunction with Cicreates a
Ci≥1 / (2π* 20kΩ* 20Hz) = 0.397µF; use 0.39µF.
The high frequency pole is determined by the product of the desired frequency pole, fH, and the differential gain,
AV. With an AV= 1 and fH= 100kHz, the resulting GBWP = 100kHz which is much smaller than the LM4929
GBWP of 10MHz. This figure displays that is a designer has a need to design an amplifier with higher differential
gain, the LM4929 can still be used without running into bandwidth limitations.
Figure 32 shows an optional resistor connected between the amplifier output that drives the headphone jack
sleeve and ground. This resistor provides a ground path that supressed power supply hum. Thishum may occur
in applications such as notebook computers in a shutdown condition and connected to an external powered
speaker. The resistor's 100Ωvalue is a suggested starting point. Its final value must be determined based on the
tradeoff between the amount of noise suppression that may be needed and minimizing the additional current
drawn by the resistor (25mA for a 100Ωresistor and a 5V supply).
ESD PROTECTION
As stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, the LM4929 has a maximum ESD susceptibility rating of 2000V. For
higher ESD voltages, the addition of a PCDN042 dual transil (from California Micro Devices), as shown in
Figure 32, will provide additional protection.

(1) The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.
(2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. -- The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
