DESCRIPTION
The LM4873 is a dual bridge-connected audio power
amplifier which, when connected to a 5V supply, will
deliver 2.1W to a 4Ω load or 2.4W to a 3Ω load with
less than 1.0% THD+N (see Notes below). In
addition, the headphone input pin allows the
amplifiers to operate in single-ended mode when
driving stereo headphones. A MUX control pin allows
selection between the two stereo sets of amplifier
inputs. The MUX control can also be used to select
two different closed-loop responses.
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed
specifically to provide high quality output power from
a surface mount package while requiring few external
components. To simplify audio system design, the
LM4873 combines dual bridge speaker amplifiers and
stereo headphone amplifiers on one chip.
The LM4873 features an externally controlled, low-
power consumption shutdown mode, a stereo
headphone amplifier mode, and thermal shutdown
protection. It also utilizes circuitry to reduce “clicks
and pops” during device turn-on.
Note: An LM4873MTE-1, LM4873MTE, or
LM4873LQ that has been properly mounted to a
circuit board will deliver 2.1W into 4Ω. The other
package options for the LM4873 will deliver 1.1W into
8Ω. See the APPLICATION INFORMATION sections
for further information concerning the LM4873MTE-1,
LM4873MTE, and the LM4873LQ.
Note: An LM4873MTE-1, LM4873MTE, or
LM4873LQ that has been properly mounted to a
circuit board and forced-air cooled will deliver 2.4W
into 3Ω.
