LM4990
2 Watt Audio Power Amplifier with Selectable Shutdown
Logic Level
General Description
The LM4990 is an audio power amplifier primarily designed
for demanding applications in mobile phones and other por-
table communication device applications. It is capable of
delivering 1.25 watts of continuous average power to an 8
BTL load and 2 watts of continuous average power (LD and
MH only) to a 4
BTL load with less than 1% distortion
(THD+N+N) from a 5V
DC
power supply.
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to
provide high quality output power with a minimal amount of
external components. The LM4990 does not require output
coupling capacitors or bootstrap capacitors, and therefore is
ideally suited for mobile phone and other low voltage appli-
cations where minimal power consumption is a primary re-
quirement.
The LM4990 features a low-power consumption shutdown
mode. To facilitate this, Shutdown may be enabled by either
logic high or low depending on mode selection. Driving the
shutdown mode pin either high or low enables the shutdown
pin to be driven in a likewise manner to enable shutdown.
The LM4990 contains advanced pop & click circuitry which
eliminates noise which would otherwise occur during turn-on
and turn-off transitions.
The LM4990 is unity-gain stable and can be configured by
external gain-setting resistors.

. A SD_MODE select pin determines the Shutdown Mode for the LD and MH packages, whether it is an Asserted High or an Asserted Low device, to activate
shutdown.
. The SD_MODE select pin is not available with the MM and ITL packaged devices. Shutdown occurs only with a low assertion.

Note: MM and ITL packaged devices are active low only; Shutdown Mode pin is internally tied to GND.

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 Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. For the LM4990, see power derating
curves for additional information.
Note 4: Human body model, 100pF discharged through a 1.5k
resistor.
Note 5: Machine Model, 220pF 240pF 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: For micro SMD only, shutdown current is measured in a Normal Room Environment. Exposure to direct sunlight will increase I
SD
by a maximum of 2A.
Note 9: Datasheet min/max specification limits are guaranteed by design, test, or statistical analysis.
Note 10: R
ROUT
is measured from the output pin to ground. This value represents the parallel combination of the 10k
output resistors and the two 20k resistors.
Note 11: If the product is in Shutdown mode and V
DD
exceeds 6V (to a max of 8V V
DD
), then most of the excess current will flow through the ESD protection circuits.
If the source impedance limits the current to a max of 10mA, then the device will be protected. If the device is enabled when V
DD
is greater than 5.5V and less than
6.5V, no damage will occur, although operation life will be reduced. Operation above 6.5V with no current limit will result in permanent damage.
Note 12: Maximum power dissipation in the device (P
DMAX
) occurs at an output power level significantly below full output power. P
DMAX
can be calculated using
Equation 1 shown in the Application Information section. It may also be obtained from the power dissipation graphs.
