LM4665
Filterless High Efficiency 1W Switching Audio Amplifier
General Description
The LM4665 is a fully integrated single-supply high efficiency
switching audio amplifier. It features an innovative modulator
that eliminates the LC output filter used with typical switching
amplifiers. Eliminating the output filter reduces parts count,
simplifies circuit design, and reduces board area. The
LM4665 processes analog inputs with a delta-sigma modu-
lation technique that lowers output noise and THD when
compared to conventional pulse width modulators.
The LM4665 is designed to meet the demands of mobile
phones and other portable communication devices. Operat-
ing on a single 3V supply, it is capable of driving 8鈩?trans-
ducer loads at a continuous average output of 400mW with
less than 2%THD+N.
The LM4665 has high efficiency with an 8鈩?transducer load
compared to a typical Class AB amplifier. With a 3V supply,
the IC鈥檚 efficiency for a 100mW power level is 75%, reaching
80% at 400mW output power.
The LM4665 features a low-power consumption shutdown
mode. Shutdown may be enabled by either a logic high or
low depending on the mode selection. Connecting the Shut-
down Mode pin to either V
DD
(high) or GND (low) enables
the Shutdown pin to be driven in a likewise manner to
activate shutdown.
The LM4665 has fixed selectable gain of either 6dB or 12dB.
The LM4665 has short circuit protection against a short from
the outputs to V
DD
, GND or across the outputs.
