LM4916
1.5V, Mono 85mW BTL Output, 14mW Stereo Headphone
Audio Amplifier
General Description
The unity gain stable LM4916 is both a mono differential
output (for bridge-tied loads or BTL) audio power amplifier
and a Single Ended (SE) stereo headphone amplifier. Oper-
ating on a single 1.5V supply, the mono BTL mode delivers
85mW into an 8
load at 1% THD+N. In Single Ended stereo
headphone mode, the amplifier delivers 14mW per channel
into a 16
load at 1% THD+N.
With the LM4916 packaged in the MM and LLP packages,
the customer benefits include low profile and small size.
These packages minimize PCB area and maximizes output
power.
The LM4916 features circuitry that reduces output transients
("clicks" and "pops") during device turn-on and turn-off, an
externally controlled, low-power consumption, active-low
shutdown mode, and thermal shutdown. Boomer audio
power amplifiers are designed specifically to use few exter-
nal components and provide high quality output power in a
surface mount package.

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. 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 2: The maximum power dissipation is dictated by T
JMAX
,
JA
, and the ambient temperature T
A
and must be derated at elevated temperatures. The maximum
allowable power dissipation is P
DMAX
= (T

. For the LM4916, T

Absolute Maximum Ratings section.
Note 3: Human body model, 100pF discharged through a 1.5k
resistor.
Note 4: Machine model, 220pF240pF discharged through all pins.
Note 5: All voltages are measured with respect to the ground (GND) pins unless otherwise specified.
Note 6: Typicals are measured at 25C and represent the parametric norm.
Note 7: Datasheet min/max specification limits are guaranteed by design, test, or statistical analysis.
Note 8: The quiescent power supply current depends on the offset voltage when a practical load is connected to the amplifier.
Note 9: Output power is measured at the device terminals.
