DESCRIPTION
The LM4666 is a fully integrated single-supply high
efficiency switching audio amplifier. It features an
innovative modulator that eliminates the LC output
filter used with typical switching amplifiers.
Eliminating the output filter reduces parts count,
simplifies circuit design, and reduces board area. The
LM4666 processes analog inputs with a delta-sigma
modulation technique that lowers output noise and
THD when compared to conventional pulse width
modulators.
The LM4666 is designed to meet the demands of
mobile phones and other portable communication
devices. Operating on a single 3V supply, it is
capable of driving 8Ω transducer loads at a
continuous average output of 450mW with less than
1%THD+N. Its flexible power supply requirements
allow operation from 2.8V to 5.5V.
The LM4666 has high efficiency with an 8Ω
transducer load compared to a typical Class AB
amplifier. With a 3V supply, the IC's efficiency for a
100mW power level is 79%, reaching 84% at 450mW
output power.
The LM4666 features a low-power consumption
shutdown mode. Shutdown may be enabled by
driving the Shutdown pin to a logic low (GND).
The LM4666 has fixed selectable gain of either 6dB
or 12dB. The LM4666 has short circuit protection
against a short from the outputs to VDD or GND.
