LM4891
1 Watt Audio Power Amplifier
General Description
The LM4891 is an audio power amplifier primarily designed
for demanding applications in mobile phones and other por-
table communication device applications. It is capable of
delivering 1 watt of continuous average power to an 8鈩?BTL
load with less than 1% distortion (THD+N) from a 5V
DC
power supply.
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to
provide high quality output power with a minimal amount of
external components. The LM4891 does not require output
coupling capacitors or bootstrap capacitors, and therefore is
ideally suited for mobile phone and other low voltage appli-
cations where minimal power consumption is a primary re-
quirement.
The LM4891 features a low-power consumption shutdown
mode, which is achieved by driving the shutdown pin with
logic high. Additionally, the LM4891 features an internal ther-
mal shutdown protection mechanism.
The LM4891 contains advanced pop & click circuitry which
eliminates noises which would otherwise occur during
turn-on and turn-off transitions.
The LM4891 is unity-gain stable and can be configured by
external gain-setting resistors.
