LM4949
Stereo Class D Audio Subsystem with OCL Headphone
Amplifier
General Description
The LM4949 is a fully integrated audio subsystem designed
for stereo cell phone applications. The LM4949 combines a
2.5W stereo Class D amplifier plus a separate 190mW ste-
reo headphone amplifier, volume control, and input mixer
into a single device. The filterless class D amplifiers deliver
1.19W/channel into an 8Ω load with <1% THD+N from a 5V
supply. The headphone amplifier features National’s Output
Capacitor-less (OCL) architecture that eliminates the output
coupling capacitors required by traditional headphone ampli-
fiers. Additionally, the headphone amplifiers can be config-
ured with capacitively coupled (CC)loads, or used to drive an
external headphone amplifier. When configured for an exter-
nal amplifier, the V_DD/2 output (VOC) controls the external
amplifier’s shutdown input.
For improved noise immunity, the LM4949 features fully
differential left, right and mono inputs. The three inputs can
be mixed/multiplexed to either the speaker or headphone
amplifiers. The left and right inputs can be used as separate
single-ended inputs, mixing multiple stereo audio sources.
The mixer, volume control, and device mode select are
controlled through an I²C compatible interface.
Output short circuit and thermal shutdown protection prevent
the device from being damaged during fault conditions. Su-
perior click and pop suppression eliminates audible tran-
sients on power-up/down and during shutdown.
