ing audio amplifier. A low noise, filterless PWM architecture
design.
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 2.1W with
less than 1% THD+N. Its flexible power supply requirements
allow operation from 2.4V to 5.5V.
The LM4671 has high efficiency with speaker loads com-
pared to a typical Class AB amplifier. With a 3V supply
driving an 8鈩?speaker, the IC鈥檚 efficiency for a 100mW
power level is 80%, reaching 88% at 400mW output power.
The LM4671 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 LM4671 is externally configurable which
allows independent gain control from multiple sources by
summing the signals.
