LA4906
17-W, 2-Channel BTL AF High-Efficiency
Power Amplifier for Car Audio Systems
Preliminary
Overview
The LA4906 is a BTL two-channel power amplifier for
use in car audio systems. It uses a signal-following
switching technique in the power supply for the amplifier
output stage and a newly-developed nonlinear amplifier
that features nonlinear characteristics in the signal system.
These features hold increases in the number of external
components to a minimum, and reduce power dissipation
(and thus heat generation) in the practical operating region
to about 1/2 that of earlier class B amplifier ICs. This can
contribute significantly to miniaturization and weight
reduction in the heat sink and to reduction of the heat
generated within the end product case.
鈥?Uses a single-voltage power supply from 8 to 18 V.
鈥?Provides a full range of built-in protection circuits,
including shorting of output pin to V
CC
, shorting of
output pin to ground, overvoltage, and thermal
shutdown protection.
鈥?Built-in standby switch
鈥?Clipping detection function

[LA4906]
Features
鈥?Power dissipation reduced by 50% (for music at average
power levels, as compared to earlier Sanyo products)
鈥?The number of required signal-following switching
circuits has been reduced to just one circuit for two
channels, reducing the number of external components.
鈥?The output is a pure analog signal; no switching noise
whatsoever appears on the output lines.
