DESCRIPTION
The LM4871 is a mono bridged audio power amplifier
capable of delivering 3W of continuous average
power into a 3Ω load with less than 10% THD when
powered by a 5V power supply (see Note). To
conserve power in portable applications, the
LM4871's micropower shutdown mode (IQ = 0.6μA,
typ) is activated when VDD is applied to the
SHUTDOWN pin.
Boomer audio power amplifiers are designed
specifically to provide high power, high fidelity audio
output. They require few external components and
operate on low supply voltages from 2.0V to 5.5V.
Since the LM4871 does not require output coupling
capacitors, bootstrap capacitors, or snubber
networks, it is ideally suited for low-power portable systems that require minimum volume and weight.
Additional LM4871 features include thermal shutdown
protection, unity-gain stability, and external gain set.
Note: An LM4871LD that has been properly mounted
to a circuit board will deliver 3W into 3Ω (at 10%
THD). The other package options for the LM4871 will
deliver 1.5W into 8Ω (at 10% THD). See the
Application Information section for further information
concerning the LM4871LD, LM4871MM, LM4871M,
and the LM4871N.
