DESCRIPTION
The LM48520 integrates a boost converter with a
high efficiency Class D stereo audio power amplifier
to provide up to 1W/ch continuous power into an 8Ω
speaker when operating from 2.7V to 5.0V power
supply with boost voltage (PV1) of 5.0V. The
LM48520 utilizes a proprietary spread spectrum pulse width modulation technique that lowers RF
interference and EMI levels. The Class D amplifier is
a low noise, filterless PWM architecture that
eliminates the output filter, reducing external
component count, board area, power consumption, system cost, and simplifying design.
The LM48520 is designed for use in mobile phones
and other portable communication devices. The high
(78%) efficiency extends battery life when compared
to Boosted Class AB amplifiers. The LM48520
features a low-power consumption shutdown mode.
Shutdown may be enabled by driving the Shutdown
pin to a logic low (GND). Also, external leakage is
minimized via control of the ground reference via the
SW-OUT pin .
The LM48520 has 4 gain options which are pin
selectable via Gain0 and Gain1 pins. Output short
circuit prevents the device from damage during fault
conditions. Superior click and pop suppression
eliminates audible transients during power-up and
shutdown.
