LM1875
20W Audio Power Amplifier
General Description
The LM1875 is a monolithic power amplifier offering very low
distortion and high quality performance for consumer audio
applications.
The LM1875 delivers 20 watts into a 4
or 8 load on
25V
supplies. Using an 8
load and
30V supplies, over 30
watts of power may be delivered. The amplifier is designed
to operate with a minimum of external components. Device
overload protection consists of both internal current limit and
thermal shutdown.
The LM1875 design takes advantage of advanced circuit
techniques and processing to achieve extremely low distor-
tion levels even at high output power levels. Other outstand-
ing features include high gain, fast slew rate and a wide
power bandwidth, large output voltage swing, high current
capability, and a very wide supply range. The amplifier is
internally compensated and stable for gains of 10 or greater.

Note 1: "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.
Note 2: Assumes the use of a heat sink having a thermal resistance of 1C/W and no insulator with an ambient temperature of 25C. Because the output limiting
circuitry has a negative temperature coefficient, the maximum output power delivered to a 4
load may be slightly reduced when the tab temperature exceeds 55C.
