LM4950
7.5W Mono-BTL or 3.1W Stereo Audio Power Amplifier
General Description
The LM4950 is a dual audio power amplifier primarily de-
signed for demanding applications in flat panel monitors and
TV’s. It is capable of delivering 3.1 watts per channel to a 4Ω
single-ended load with less than 1% THD+N or 7.5 watts
mono BTL to an 8Ω load, with less than 10% THD+N from a
12VDC power supply.
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to
provide high quality output power with a minimal amount of
external components. The LM4950 does not require boot-
strap capacitors or snubber circuits. Therefore, it is ideally
suited for display applications requiring high power and mini-
mal size.
The LM4950 features a low-power consumption active-low
shutdown mode. Additionally, the LM4950 features an inter-
nal thermal shutdown protection mechanism along with short
circuit protection.
The LM4950 contains advanced pop & click circuitry that
eliminates noises which would otherwise occur during
turn-on and turn-off transitions.
The LM4950 is a unity-gain stable and can be configured by
external gain-setting resistors.
