LM4782 Overture Audio Power Amplifier Series
3 Channel 25W Audio Power Amplifier with Mute and
Standby
General Description
Key Specifications
The LM4782 is a three channel audio amplifier capable of
typically delivering 25W per channel of continuous average
output power into an 8Ω load with less than 0.5% THD+N
from 20Hz - 20kHz.

The LM4782 is fully protected utilizing National’s Self Peak
Instantaneous Temperature (˚Ke) (SPiKeTM) protection cir-
cuitry. SPiKe provides a dynamically optimized Safe Operat-
ing Area (SOA). SPiKe protection completely safeguards the
LM4782’s outputs against over-voltage, under-voltage, over-
loads, shorts to the supplies or GND, thermal runaway and
instantaneous temperature peaks. The advanced protection
features of the LM4782 places it in a class above discrete
and hybrid amplifiers.

Features
n SPiKe Protection
Each amplifier of the LM4782 has an independent smooth
transition fade-in/out mute and a power conserving standby
mode. The mute and standby modes can be controlled by
external logic.
n Low external component count
n Quiet fade-in/out mute mode
n Low power standby mode
n Wide supply range: 20V - 64V
The LM4782 can easily be configured for bridge or parallel
operation for higher power and bi-amp solutions.
n Signal-to-Noise Ratio ≥ 98dB (ref. to PO = 1W)
Applications
n Audio amplifier for component stereo
n Audio amplifier for compact stereo
n Audio amplifier for home theater in a box (HTB)
n Audio amplifier for self-powered speakers
n Audio amplifier for high-end and HD TVs
