DESCRIPTION
The LM4838 is a monolithic integrated circuit that
provides DC volume control, and stereo bridged
audio power amplifiers capable of producing 2W into
4Ω with less than 1.0% THD or 2.2W into 3Ω with
less than 1.0% THD (see Notes below).
Boomer™ audio integrated circuits were designed
specifically to provide high quality audio while
requiring a minimum amount of external components.
The LM4838 incorporates a DC volume control,
stereo bridged audio power amplifiers and a
selectable gain or bass boost, making it optimally
suited for multimedia monitors, portable radios,
desktop, and portable computer applications.
The LM4838 features an externally controlled, low-
power consumption shutdown mode, and both a
power amplifier and headphone mute for maximum
system flexibility and performance.
Note: When properly mounted to the circuit board,
the LM4838NJB, LM4838PWP, and LM4838NYC will
deliver 2W into 4Ω. The LM4838PW and LM4838YZR
will deliver 1.1W into 8Ω. See Application Information
section Exposed-DAP package PCB Mounting
Considerations for more information.
Note: An LM4838NJB and LM4838PWP that have
been properly mounted to the circuit board and
forced-air cooled will deliver 2.2W into 3Ω.
