LM4911

LM4911 Stereo 40mW Low Noise Headphone Amplifier with Selectable Capacitive Coupled or OCL Output July 2002 LM4911 Stereo 40mW Low Noise Headphone Amplifier with Selectable Capacitive Coupled or OCL Output General Description The LM4911 is an stereo audio power amplifier capable of delivering 40mW per channel of continuous average power into a 16Ω load or 25mW per channel into a 32Ω load at 1% THD+N from a 3V power supply. Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to provide high quality output power with a minimal amount of external components. Since the LM4911 does not require bootstrap capacitors or snubber networks, it is optimally suited for low-power portable systems. In addition, the LM4911 may be configured for either single-ended capacitively coupled outputs or for OCL outputs (patent pending). The LM4911 features a low-power consumption shutdown mode and a power mute mode that allows for faster turn on time with less than 1mV voltage change at outputs on release. Additionally, the LM4911 features an internal thermal shutdown protection mechanism. The LM4911 is unity gain stable and may be configured with external gain-setting resistors.
