FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LM4890 is an audio power amplifier primarily
2
• Available in Space-Saving Packages: DSBGA,
designed for demanding applications in mobile
VSSOP, SOIC, and WSON
phones and other portable communication device
• Ultra Low Current Shutdown Mode
applications. It is capable of delivering 1 watt of
• BTL Output Can Drive Capacitive Loads
continuous average power to an 8Ω BTL load with
less than 1% distortion (THD+N) from a 5V
DC
power
• Improved Pop & Click Circuitry Eliminates
supply.
Noises During Turn-On and Turn-Off
Transitions
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed
specifically to provide high quality output power with a
• 2.2 - 5.5V Operation
minimal amount of external components. The
• No Output Coupling Capacitors, Snubber
LM4890 does not require output coupling capacitors
Networks or Bootstrap Capacitors Required
or bootstrap capacitors, and therefore is ideally suited
• Thermal Shutdown Protection
for mobile phone and other low voltage applications
where minimal power consumption is a primary
• Unity-Gain Stable
requirement.
• External Gain Configuration Capability
The LM4890 features a low-power consumption
shutdown mode, which is achieved by driving the
APPLICATIONS
shutdown pin with logic low. Additionally, the LM4890
• Mobile Phones
features an internal thermal shutdown protection
• PDAs
mechanism.
• Portable Electronic Devices
The LM4890 contains advanced pop & click circuitry
which eliminates noises which would otherwise occur
KEY SPECIFICATIONS
during turn-on and turn-off transitions.
• PSRR at 217Hz, VDD = 5V (Fig. 1): 62dB(typ.)
The LM4890 is unity-gain stable and can be
configured by external gain-setting resistors.
• Power Output at 5.0V & 1% THD: 1W(typ.)
• Power Output at 3.3V & 1% THD: 400mW(typ.)
• Shutdown Current: 0.1μA(typ.)
