LM4960
Piezoelectric Speaker Driver
General Description
The LM4960 utilizes a switching regulator to drive a dual
audio power amplifier. It delivers 24V
P-P
mono-BTL to a
ceramic speaker with less than 1.0% THD+N while operating
on a 3.0V power supply.
The LM4960鈥檚 switching regulator is a current-mode boost
converter operating at a fixed frequency of 1.6MHz.
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to
provide high quality output power with a minimal amount of
external components. The LM4960 does not require output
coupling capacitors or bootstrap capacitors, and therefore is
ideally suited for mobile phone and other low voltage appli-
cations where minimal power consumption is a primary re-
quirement.
The LM4960 features a low-power consumption externally
controlled micropower shutdown mode. Additionally, the
LM4960 features and internal thermal shutdown protection
mechanism along with a short circuit protection.
The LM4960 is unity-gain stable and can be configured by
external gain-setting resistors.
