LM4910 Datasheet | National Semiconductor

Description The LM4910 is an audio power amplifier primarily designed for headphone applications in portable device applications. It is capable of delivering 35m W of continuous average power to a 32Ω load with less than 1% distortion (THD+N) from a 3.3VDC power supply. The LM4910 utilizes a new circuit topology that eliminates output coupling capacitors and half-supply bypass capacitors (patent pending). The LM4910 contains advanced pop & click circuitry which eliminates noises caused by transients that would otherwise occur during turn-on and turn-off. Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to provide high quality output power with a minimal amount of external ponents. Since the LM4910 does not require any output coupling capacitors, half-supply bypass capacitors, or bootstrap capacitors, it is ideally suited for low-power portable applications where minimal space and power consumption are primary requirements. The LM4910 features a low-power consumption shutdown mode, activated by driving the shutdown pin with logic low. Additionally, the LM4910 features an internal thermal shutdown protection mechanism. The LM4910 is also unity-gain stable and can be configured by external gain-setting resistors.
