phones and other portable communication devices. Operat-
ing on a single 5V supply, it is capable of driving a 4鈩?/div>
speaker load at a continuous average output of 2.3W with
less than 1% THD+N. Its flexible power supply requirements
allow operation from 2.4V to 5.5V.
The LM4670 has high efficiency with speaker loads com-
pared to a typical Class AB amplifier. With a 3.6V supply
driving an 8鈩?speaker, the IC鈥檚 efficiency for a 100mW
power level is 77%, reaching 88% at 600mW output power.
The LM4670 features a low-power consumption shutdown
mode. Shutdown may be enabled by driving the Shutdown
pin to a logic low (GND).
The gain of the LM4670 is externally configurable which
allows independent gain control from multiple sources by
summing the signals.
