The LM4651 is a fully integrated conventional pulse width
modulator driver IC. The IC contains short circuit, under
voltage, over modulation, and thermal shut down protection
circuitry. It contains a standby function, which shuts down
the pulse width modulation and minimizes supply current.
The LM4652 is a fully integrated H-bridge power MOSFET
IC in a TO-220 power package. Together, these two IC’s
form a simple, compact high power audio amplifier 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.

Features
n Conventional pulse width modulation.
n Externally controllable switching frequency.
n 50kHZ to 200kHz switching frequency range.
n Integrated error amp and feedback amp.
n Turn−on soft start and under voltage lockout.
n Over modulation protection (soft clipping).
n Short circuit current limiting and thermal shutdown
protection.
The near rail-to-rail switching amplifier substantially in-
creases the efficiency compared to Class AB amplifiers. This
high efficiency solution significantly reduces the heat sink
size compared to a Class AB IC of the same power level.
This two-chip solution is optimum for powered subwoofers
and self powered speakers.
n 15 Lead TO−220 isolated package.
n Self checking protection diagnostic.
Applications
n Powered subwoofers for home theater and PC’s
n Car booster amplifier
n Self-powered speakers
