DESCRIPTION
The LM4781 is a three channel audio amplifier capable of typically delivering 35W per channel of continuous
average output power into an 8Ω load with less than 0.5% THD+N from 20Hz - 20kHz.
The LM4781 is fully protected utilizing National's Self Peak Instantaneous Temperature (°Ke) (SPiKeTM)
protection circuitry. SPiKe provides a dynamically optimized Safe Operating Area (SOA). SPiKe protection
completely safeguards the LM4781's outputs against over-voltage, under-voltage, overloads, shorts to the
supplies or GND, thermal runaway and instantaneous temperature peaks. The advanced protection features of
the LM4781 places it in a class above discrete and hybrid amplifiers.
Each amplifier of the LM4781 has an independent smooth transition fade-in/out mute.
The LM4781 can easily be configured for bridge or parallel operation for higher power and bi-amp solutions.
