Figure 30. Higher Gain Audio Amplifier
The LM4889 is unity-gain stable and requires no external components besides gain-setting resistors, an input
coupling capacitor, and proper supply bypassing in the typical application. However, if a closed-loop differential
gain of greater than 10 is required, a feedback capacitor (C4) may be needed as shown in Figure 30 to
bandwidth limit the amplifier. This feedback capacitor creates a low pass filter that eliminates possible high
frequency oscillations. Care should be taken when calculating the -3dB frequency in that an incorrect
combination of R
3
and C
4
will cause rolloff before 20kHz. A typical combination of feedback resistor and
capacitor that will not produce audio band high frequency rolloff is R
3
= 20kΩ and C
4
= 25pf. These components
result in a -3dB point of approximately 320kHz.
