Texas Instruments LM4950
The LM4950 is a dual audio power amplifier primarily designed for demanding applications in flat panel monitors and TV's. It is capable of delivering 3.1 watts per channel to a 4Ω single-ended load with less than 1% THD+N or 7.5 watts mono BTL to an 8Ω load, with less than 10% THD+N from a 12VDC power supply. The LM4950 does not require bootstrap capacitors or snubber circuits.FEATURES

DESCRIPTION
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to provide high quality output power with a minimal amount of external components. Therefore, it is ideally suited for display applications requiring high power and minimal size. The LM4950 features a low-power consumption active-low shutdown mode. Additionally, the LM4950 features an internal thermal shutdown protection mechanism along with short circuit protection.
