LM4912 Stereo 40mW Low Noise Headphone Amplifier
June 2003
LM4912
Stereo 40mW Low Noise Headphone Amplifier
General Description
The LM4912 is an stereo audio power amplifier capable of
delivering 40mW per channel of continuous average power
into a 16鈩?load or 25mW per channel into a 32鈩?load at 1%
THD form a 3V power supply.
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to
provide high quality output power with a minimal amount of
external components. Since the LM4912 does not require
bootstrap capacitors or snubber networks, it is optimally
suited for low-power portable systems.
The LM4912 features a low-power consumption shutdown
mode and a power mute mode that allows for faster turn on
time with less than 1mV voltage change at outputs on re-
lease. Additionally, the LM4912 features an internal thermal
shutdown protection mechanism.
The LM4912 is unity gain stable and may be configured with
external gain-setting resistors.
