LM4900
265mW at 3.3V Supply Audio Power Amplifier with
Shutdown Mode
General Description
The LM4900 is a bridged audio power amplifier capable of
delivering 265mW of continuous average power into an 8
load with 1% THD+N from a 3.3V power supply.
Boomer
audio power amplifiers were designed specifically
to provide high quality output power from a low supply volt-
age while requiring a minimal amount of external compo-
nents. Since the LM4900 does not require output coupling
capacitors, bootstrap capacitors or snubber networks, it is
optimally suited for low-power portable applications.
The LM4900 features an externally controlled, low power
consumption shutdown mode, and thermal shutdown protec-
tion.
The closed loop response of the unity-gain stable LM4900
can be configured by external gain-setting resistors.

Note 1: All voltages are measured with respect to the ground pin, unless otherwise specified.
Note 2: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. Electrical Characteristics state DC and AC electrical specifications under particular test conditions which
guarantee specific performance limits. This assumes that the device is within the Operating Ratings. Specifications are not guaranteed for parameters where no limit
is given, however, the typical value is a good indication of device performance.
Note 3: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by T
JMAX
,
JA
, and the ambient temperature T
A
. The maximum
allowable power dissipation is P
DMAX
= (T
JMAX
- T
A
)/
JA
or the number given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. For the LM4900, T
JMAX
=
150C. The typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, when board mounted, is 190C/W for package number MUA08A.
Note 4: Human body model, 100pF discharged through a 1.5k
resistor.
Note 5: Machine Model, 220pF240pF discharged through all pins.
Note 6: Typicals are measured at 25C and represent the parametric norm.
Note 7: Limits are guaranteed to National's AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
Note 8: The quiescent power supply current depends on the offset voltage when a practical load is connected to the amplifier.
Note 9: Datasheet min/max specification limits are guaranteed by design, test, or statistical analysis.
Note 10: Unterminated input.
Note 11: 10
terminated input.
