LM4843
Stereo 2W Audio Power Amplifiers
with DC Volume Control
General Description
The LM4843 is a monolithic integrated circuit that provides
DC volume control, and stereo bridged audio power amplifi-
ers capable of producing 2W into 4鈩?(Note 1) with less than
1.0% THD or 2.2W into 3鈩?(Note 2) with less than 1.0%
THD.

audio integrated circuits were designed specifically
to provide high quality audio while requiring a minimum
amount of external components. The LM4843 incorporates a
DC volume control with stereo bridged audio power amplifi-
ers making it optimally suited for multimedia monitors, por-
table radios, desktop, and portable computer applications.
The LM4843 features an externally controlled, low-power
consumption shutdown mode, and both a power amplifier
and headphone mute for maximum system flexibility and
performance.
Note 1:
When properly mounted to the circuit board, the LM4843MH will
deliver 2W into 4鈩? See the Application Information section for LM4843MH
usage information.
Note 2:
LM4843MH that has been properly mounted to the circuit board and
forced-air cooled will deliver 2.2W into 3鈩?
