DESCRIPTION
The LM4910 is an audio power amplifier primarily designed for headphone applications in portable device
applications. It is capable of delivering 35mW of continuous average power to a 32 load with less than 1%
distortion (THD+N) from a 3.3V
DC
power supply.
The LM4910 utilizes a new circuit topology that eliminates output coupling capacitors and half-supply bypass
capacitors. 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 components. 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.
