350mW Audio Power Amplifier with Shutdown Mode
General Description
The LM4819 is a mono bridged power amplifier that is ca-
pable of delivering 350mW
RMS
output power into a 16load
or 300mW
RMS
output power into an 8load with 10%
THD+N from a 5V power supply.
The LM4819 Boomer audio power amplifier is designed
specifically to provide high quality output power and mini-
mize PCB area with surface mount packaging and a minimal
amount of external components. Since the LM4819 does not
require output coupling capacitors, bootstrap capacitors or
snubber networks, it is optimally suited for low-power por-
table applications.
The closed loop response of the unity-gain stable LM4819
can be configured using external gain-setting resistors. The
device is available in LLP, MSOP, and SO package types to
suit various applications.

Application Information
BRIDGE CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION
As shown in Figure 1, the LM4819 consist of two operational
amplifiers. External resistors, R
i
and R
F
set the closed-loop
gain of the first amplifier (and the amplifier overall), whereas
two internal 20kresistors set the second amplifiers gain at
-1. The LM4819 is typically used to drive a speaker con-
nected between the two amplifier outputs.
Figure 1 shows that the output of Amp1 servers as the input
to Amp2, which results in both amplifiers producing signals
identical in magnitude but 180˚ out of phase. Taking advan-
tage of this phase difference, a load is placed between V
01
and V
02
and driven differentially (commonly referred to as
"bridge mode"). This results in a differential gain of
A
VD
= 2 *(R
f
/R
i
) (1)
Bridge mode is different from single-ended amplifiers that
drive loads connected between a single amplifiers output
and ground. For a given supply voltage, bridge mode has a
distinct advantage over the single-ended configuration: its
differential output doubles the voltage swing across the load.
This results in four times the output power when compared
to a single-ended amplifier under the same conditions. This
increase in attainable output assumes that the amplifier is
not current limited or the output signal is not clipped. To
ensure minimum output signal clipping when choosing an
amplifiers closed-loop gain, refer to the Audio Power Am-
plifier Design Example section.
Another advantage of the differential bridge output is no net
DC voltage across the load. This results from biasing V
01
and V
02
at half-supply. This eliminates the coupling capacitor
that single supply, single-ended amplifiers require. Eliminat-
ing an output coupling capacitor in a single-ended configu-
ration forces a single supply amplifiers half-supply bias volt-
age across the load. The current flow created by the half-
supply bias voltage increases internal IC power dissipation
and may permanently damage loads such as speakers.
POWER DISSIPATION
Power dissipation is a major concern when designing a
successful bridged or single-ended amplifier. Equation (2)
states the maximum power dissipation point for a single-
ended amplifier operating at a given supply voltage and
driving a specified load.

However, a direct consequence of the increased power de-
livered to the load by a bridged amplifier is an increase in the
internal power dissipation point for a bridge amplifier oper-
ating at the same given conditions. Equation (3) states the
maximum power dissipation point for a bridged amplifier
operating at a given supply voltage and driving a specified
load.

The LM4819 has two operational amplifiers in one package
and the maximum internal power dissipation is four times
that of a single-ended amplifier. However, even with this
substantial increase in power dissipation, the Lm4819 does
not require heatsinking. From Equation (3), assuming a 5V
power supply and an 8load, the maximum power dissipa-
tion point is 633mW. The maximum power dissipation point
obtained from Equation (3) must not exceed the power dis-
sipation predicted by Equation (4):

For the micro MUA08A package, θ
JA
= 210˚C/W, for the
M08A package, θ
JA
= 170˚C/W , and T
JMAX
= 150˚C for the
LM4819. For a given ambient temperature, T
A
, Equation (4)
can be used to find the maximum internal power dissipation
supported by the IC packaging. If the result of Equation (3) is
greater than the result of Equation (4), then decrease the
supply voltage, increase the load impedance, or reduce the
ambient temperature. For a typical application using the
M08A packaged LM4819 with a 5V power supply and an 8
load, the maximum ambient temperature that does not vio-
late the maximum junction temperature is approximately
42˚C. If a MUA08A packaged part is used instead with the
same supply voltage and load, the maximum ambient tem-
perature is 17˚C. In both cases, it is assumed that a device
is a surface mount part operating around the maximum
power dissipation point. The assumption that the device is
operating around the maximum power dissipation point is
incorrect for an 8load. The maximum power dissipation
point occurs when the output power is equal to the maximum
power dissipation or 50% efficiency. The LM4819 is not
capable of the output power level (633mW) required to op-
erate at the maximum power dissipation point for an 8load.
To find the maximum power dissipation, the graph Power
Dissipation vs. Output Power must be used. From the
graph, the maximum power dissipation for an 8load and a
5V supply is approximately 575mW. Substituting this value
back into equation (4) for P
DMAX
and using θ
JA
= 210˚C/W
for the MUA08A package, the maximum ambient tempera-
ture is calculated to be 29˚C. Using θ
JA
= 170˚C/W for the
M08A package, the maximum ambient temperature is 52˚C.
Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics curves
for power dissipation information for lower output powers
and maximum power dissipation for each package at a given
ambient temperature.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
As with any power amplifier, proper supply bypassing is
critical for low noise performance and high power supply
rejection. The capacitors connected to the bypass and power
supply pins should be placed as close to the LM4819 as
possible. The capacitor connected between the bypass pin
and ground improves the internal bias voltage’s stability,
producing improved PSRR. The improvements to PSRR
increase as the bypass pin capacitor value increases. Typi-
cal applications employ a 5V regulator with 10µF and 0.1µF
filter capacitors that aid in supply stability. Their presence,
however, does not eliminate the need for bypassing the
supply nodes of the LM4819. The selection of bypass ca-
pacitor values, especially C
B
, depends on desired PSRR
requirements, click and pop performance as explained in the
section, Proper Selection of External Components, as
well as system cost and size constraints.
SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
The voltage applied to the LM4819’s SHUTDOWN pin con-
trols the shutdown function. Activate micro-power shutdown
by applying V
DD
to the SHUTDOWN pin. When active, the
LM4819’s micro-power shutdown feature turns off the ampli-
fiers bias circuitry, reducing the supply current. The logic
threshold is typically 1/2V
DD
. The low 0.7µA typical shut-
down current is achieved by applying a voltage that is as
near as V
DD
as possible to the SHUTDOWN pin. A voltage
that is less than V
DD
may increase the shutdown current.
Avoid intermittent or unexpected micro-power shutdown by
ensuring that the SHUTDOWN pin is not left floating but
connected to either V
DD
or GND.
LM4819
www.national.com9
Application Information (Continued)
There are a few ways to activate micro-power shutdown.
These included using a single-pole, single-throw switch, a
microcontroller, or a microprocessor. When using a switch,
connect an external 10kto 100kpull-up resistor between
the SHUTDOWN pin and V
DD
. Connect the switch between
the SHUTDOWN pin and ground. Select normal amplifier
operation by closing the switch. Opening the switch con-
nects the shutdown pin to V
DD
through the pull-up resistor,
activating micro-power shutdown. The switch and resistor
guarantee that the SHUTDOWN pin will not float. This pre-
vents unwanted state changes. In a system with a micropro-
cessor or a microcontroller, use a digital output to apply the
control voltage to the SHUTDOWN pin. Driving the SHUT-
DOWN pin with active circuitry eliminates the pull-up resistor
PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Optimizing the LM4819’s performance requires properly se-
lecting external components. Though the LM4819 operates
well when using external components with wide tolerances,
best performance is achieved by optimizing component val-
ues.
The LM4819 is unity gain stable, giving the designer maxi-
mum design flexibility. The gain should be set to no more
than a given application requires. This allows the amplifier to
achieve minimum THD+N and maximum signal-to-noise ra-
tio. These parameters are compromised as the closed-loop
gain increases. However, low gain demands input signals
with greater voltage swings to achieve maximum output
power. Fortunately, many signal sources such as audio CO-
DECs have outputs of 1V
RMS
(2.83V
P-P
). Please refer to the
Audio Power Amplifier Design section for more informa-
tion on selecting the proper gain.
Another important consideration is the amplifiers close-loop
bandwidth. To a large extent, the bandwidth is dictated by
the choice of external components shown in Figure 1. The
input coupling capacitor, C
i
, forms a first order high pass filter
that limits low frequency response. This value should be
chosen based on needed frequency response for a few
distinct reasons discussed below
Input Capacitor Value Selection
Amplifying the lowest audio frequencies requires a high
value input coupling capacitor (C
i
in Figure 1). A high value
capacitor can be expensive and may compromise space
efficiency in portable designs. In many cases the speakers
used in portable systems, whether internal or external, have
little ability to reproduce signals below 150Hz. Applications
using speakers with limited frequency response reap little
improvement by using a large input capacitor.
Besides affecting system cost and size, C
i
has an effect on
the LM4819’s click and pop performance. When the supply
voltage is first applied, a transient (pop) is created as the
charge on the input capacitor changes from zero to a quies-
cent state. The magnitude of the pop is directly proportional
to the input capacitors value. Higher value capacitors need
more time to reach a quiescent DC voltage (usually 1/2 V
DD
)
when charged with a fixed current. The amplifier’s output
charges the input capacitor through the feedback resistor,
R
F
. Thus, selecting an input capacitor value that is no higher
than necessary to meet the desired -3dB frequency can
minimize pops.
As shown in Figure 1, the input resistor (R
i
) and the input
capacitor, C
i
produce a -3dB high pass filter cutoff frequency
that is found using Equation (5).
f
-3dB
= 1/(2 πR
i
C
i
) (Hz) (5)
As an example when using a speaker with a low frequency
limit of 150Hz, C
i
, using Equation (5) is 0.063µF. The 0.39µF
C
i
shown in Figure 1 allows the LM4819 to drive a high
efficiency, full range speaker whose response extends down
to 20Hz.
Besides optimizing the input capacitor value, the bypass
capacitor value, C
B
requires careful consideration. The by-
pass capacitors value is the most critical to minimizing
turn-on pops because it determines how fast the LM4819
turns on. The slower the LM4819’s outputs ramp to their
quiescent DC voltage (nominally 1/2V
DD
), the smaller the
turn-on pop. While the device will function properly (no os-
cillations or motorboating), with C
B
less than 1.0µF, the
device will be much more susceptible to turn-on clicks and
pops. Thus, a value of C
B
equal to or greater than 1.0µF is
recommended in all but the most cost sensitive designs.
Bypass Capacitor Value Selection
Besides minimizing the input capacitor size, careful consid-
eration should be paid to the value of C
B
, the capacitor
connected to the BYPASS pin. Since C
B
determines how
fast the LM4819 settles to quiescent operation, its value is
critical when minimizing turn-on pops. The slower the
LM4819’s outputs ramp to their quiescent DC voltage (nomi-
nally 1/2V
DD
), the smaller the turn-on pop. Choosing C
B
equal to 1.0µF along with a small value of C
i
(in the range of
0.1µF to 0.39µF) produces a click-less and pop-less shut-
down function. As discussed above, choosing C
i
no larger
than necessary for the desired bandwidth helps minimize
clicks and pops.
Optimizing Click and Pop Reduction Performance
The LM4819 contains circuitry that minimizes turn-on and
shutdown transients or "clicks and pops". For this discus-
sion, turn on refers to either applying the power or supply
voltage or when the shutdown mode is deactivated. While
the power supply is ramping to it’s final value, the LM4819’s
internal amplifiers are configured as unity gain buffers. An
internal current source charges the voltage of the bypass
capacitor, C
B
, connected to the BYPASS pin in a controlled,
linear manner. Ideally, the input and outputs track the voltage
charging on the bypass capacitor. The gain of the internal
amplifiers remains unity until the bypass capacitor is fully
charged to 1/2V
DD
. As soon as the voltage on the bypass
capacitor is stable, the device becomes fully operational.
Although the BYPASS pin current cannot be modified,
changing the size of the bypass capacitor, C
B
, alters the
device’s turn-on time and magnitude of "clicks and pops".
Increasing the value of C
B
reduces the magnitude of turn-on
pops. However, this presents a tradeoff: as the size of C
B
increases, the turn-on time (Ton) increases. There is a linear
relationship between the size of C
B
and the turn on time.
Below are some typical turn-on times for various values of
C

Application Information (Continued)
In order to eliminate "clicks and pops", all capacitors must be
discharged before turn-on. Rapidly switching V
DD
may not
allow the capacitors to fully discharge, which may cause
"clicks and pops".
AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER DESIGN EXAMPLE
The following are the desired operational
parameters:
Given:
Power Output 100mW
Load Impedance 16
Input Level 1Vrms (max)
Input Impedance 20k
Bandwidth 100Hz–20kHz ±0.25dB
The design begins by specifying the minimum supply voltage
necessary to obtain the specified output power. To find this
minimum supply voltage, use the Output Power vs. Supply
Voltage graph in the Typical Performance Characteristics
section. From the graph for a 16load, (graphs are for 8,
16, and 32loads) the supply voltage for 100mW of output
power with 1% THD+N is approximately 3.15 volts.
Additional supply voltage creates the benefit of increased
headroom that allows the LM4819 to reproduce peaks in
excess of 100mW without output signal clipping or audible
distortion. The choice of supply voltage must also not create
a situation that violates maximum dissipation as explained
above in the Power Dissipation section. For example, if a
3.3V supply is chosen for extra headroom then according to
Equation (3) the maximum power dissipation point with a
16load is 138mW. Using Equation (4) the maximum am-
bient temperature is 121˚C for the MUA08A package and
126˚C for the M08A package.
After satisfying the LM4819’s power dissipation require-
ments, the minimum differential gain is found using Equation
(6).
(6)
Thus a minimum gain of 1.27 V/V allows the LM4819 to
reach full output swing and maintain low noise and THD+N
performance. For this example, let A
VD
= 1.27. The amplifi-
ers overall gain is set using the input (R
i
) and feedback (R
F
)
resistors. With the desired input impedance set to 20k, the
feedback resistor is found using Equation (7).
R
F
/R
i
=A
VD
/2 (V/V) (7)
The value of R
F
is 13k.
The last step in this design example is setting the amplifiers
-3dB frequency bandwidth. To achieve the desired ±0.25dB
pass band magnitude variation limit, the low frequency re-
sponse must extend to at least one-fifth the lower bandwidth
limit and the high frequency response must extend to at least
five times the upper bandwidth limit. The gain variation for
both response limits is 0.17dB, well with in the ±0.25dB
desired limit.
The results are:

VD
, determines the up-
per pass band response limit. With A
VD
= 1.27 and f
H
=
100kHz, the closed-loop gain bandwidth product (GBWP) is
127kHz. This is less than the LM4819’s 900kHz GBWP. With
this margin the amplifier can be used in designs that require
more differential gain while avoiding performance restricting
bandwidth limitations.

Application Information (Continued)
The LM4819 is unity-gain stable and requires no external
components besides gain-setting resistors, an input coupling
capacitor, and proper supply bypassing in the typical appli-
cation. However, if a closed-loop differential gain of greater
than 10 is required, a feedback capacitor (C
4
) may be
needed as shown in Figure 2 to bandwidth limit the amplifier.
This feedback capacitor creates a low pass filter that elimi-
nates possible high frequency oscillations. Care should be
taken when calculating the -3dB frequency in that an incor-
rect combination of R
3
and C
4
will cause rolloff before
20kHz. A typical combination of feedback resistor and ca-
pacitor that will not produce audio band high frequency rolloff
is R
3
= 20kand C
4
= 25pF. These components result in a
-3dB point of approximately 320 kHz. It is not recommended
that the feedback resistor and capacitor be used to imple-
ment a band limiting filter below 100kHz.

PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES
This section provides practical guidelines for mixed signal
PCB layout that involves various digital/analog power and
ground traces. Designers should note that these are only
"rule-of-thumb" recommendations and the actual results will
depend heavily on the final layout.
General Mixed Signal Layout Recommendation
Power and Ground Circuits
For two layer mixed signal design, it is important to isolate
the digital power and ground trace paths from the analog
power and ground trace paths. Star trace routing techniques
(bringing individual traces back to a central point rather than
daisy chaining traces together in a serial manner) can have
a major impact on low level signal performance. Star trace
routing refers to using individual traces to feed power and
ground to each circuit or even device. This technique will
take require a greater amount of design time but will not
increase the final price of the board. The only extra parts
required will be some jumpers.
Single-Point Power / Ground Connections
The analog power traces should be connected to the digital
traces through a single point (link). A "Pi-filter" can be helpful
in minimizing high frequency noise coupling between the
analog and digital sections. It is further recommended to put
digital and analog power traces over the corresponding digi-
tal and analog ground traces to minimize noise coupling.
Placement of Digital and Analog Components
All digital components and high-speed digital signals traces
should be located as far away as possible from analog
components and circuit traces.
Avoiding Typical Design / Layout Problems
Avoid ground loops or running digital and analog traces
parallel to each other (side-by-side) on the same PCB layer.
When traces must cross over each other do it at 90 degrees.
Running digital and analog traces at 90 degrees to each
other from the top to the bottom side as much as possible will
minimize capacitive noise coupling and cross talk.
