  • 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 I 2C 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).

    The LM4946 is an integrated stereo subsystem with a filterless mono Class D speaker amplifier and selectable output low noise headphone amplifier in a 25-bump micro SMD package. The LM4946 also features RF suppression circuitry and National 3D enhancement. The LM4946 is designed to meet the demands of mobile phones and other portable communication devices. It is capable of delivering 1.19W of average power into an 8 ohm load and 87 milliwatts of average power to a 32 ohm load with less than 1% distortion (THD+N) from a 5V DC power supply.

    The LM4946SQEVAL and LM4946TMEVAL are evaluation boards designed to ease evaluation and effort during the development of a circuit using the LM4946. The evaluation board comes with an I2C card and cable. It is an easy-to-use stand-alone board that requires power and GND, an I2C control signal, an input signal and an output load. Software for the product can be downloaded from http://audio.national.com

    Note: The Early Failure Rates (EFR) were calculated as point estimate PPM based on rejects and sample size for EFR. The Long Term Failure Rates were calculated at 60% confidence using the Arrhenius equation at 0.7eV activation energy and derating the assumed stress temperature of 150°C to an application temperature of 55°C.
