The LM4651 is a fully integrated conventional pulse width
modulator driver IC. The IC contains short circuit, under volt-
age, over modulation, and thermal shut down protection cir-
cuitry. The LM4651also contains a standby function which
shuts down the pulse width modulation minimizing supply
current. The LM4652 is a fully integrated H-bridge power
MOSFET IC in a TO-220 power package. The LM4652 has a
temperature sensor built in to alert the LM4651 when the die
temperature of the LM4652 exceeds the threshold. Together,
these two IC's form a simple, compact high power audio am-
plifier solution complete with protection normally seen only in
Class AB amplifiers. Few external components and minimal
traces between the IC's keep the PCB area small and aids in
EMI control.

Externally controllable output current limiting and thermal
shutdown protection.
Self checking protection diagnostic.

The near rail-to-rail switching amplifier substantially increases
the efficiency compared to Class AB amplifiers. This high ef-
ficiency solution significantly reduces the heat sink size com-
pared to a Class AB IC of the same power level. This two-chip
solution is optimum for powered subwoofers and self powered
speakers.
Applications
Powered subwoofers for home theater and PC's
