General Description
The LM4982 is a ground referenced, variable gain audio
power amplifier capable of delivering 80mW of continuous
average power into a 16鈩?single-ended load with less than
1% THD+N from a 3V power supply. The I
2
C volume control
allows +18 to -76 dB gain settings.
The LM4982 utilizes advanced charge pump technology to
generate the LM4982鈥檚 negative supply voltage. This elimi-
nates the need for output-coupling capacitors typically used
with single-ended loads.
IntelliSense is a new circuit technology that allows the
LM4982 to detect whether a mono or stereo headphone plug
has been inserted into the output jack.
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to
provide high quality output power with a minimal amount of
external components. The LM4982 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 LM4982 incorporates selectable low-power consump-
tion shutdown and channel select modes.
The LM4982 contains advanced pop & click circuitry that
eliminates noises which would otherwise occur during
turn-on and turn-off transitions.
