DESCRIPTION
The LM4946 is an audio power amplifier capable of
delivering 540mW of continuous average power into a
mono 8Ω bridged-tied load (BTL) with 1% THD+N,
35mW per channel of continuous average power into
stereo 32Ω single-ended (SE) loads with 1% THD+N,
or an output capacitor-less (OCL) configuration with
identical specifications as the SE configuration, from
a 3.3V power supply.
The LM4946 has three input channels: one pair for a
two-channel stereo signal and the third for a
differential single-channel mono input. The LM4946
features a 32-step digital volume control and eight
distinct output modes. The digital volume control, 3D
enhancement, and output modes (mono/SE/OCL) are
programmed through a two-wire I2C or a three-wire
SPI compatible interface that allows flexibility in
routing and mixing audio channels.
The LM4946 is designed for cellular phone, PDA, and
other portable handheld applications. It delivers high
quality output power from a surface-mount package
and requires only seven external components in the
OCL mode (two additional components in SE mode).
