FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LM4670 is a fully integrated single-supply high
efficiency switching audio amplifier. It features an
innovative modulator that eliminates the LC output
filter used with typical switching amplifiers.
Eliminating the output filter reduces external
component count, simplifies circuit design, and
reduces board area. The LM4670 processes analog
inputs with a delta-sigma modulation technique that
lowers output noise and THD when compared to
conventional pulse width modulators.

Packages
The LM4670 is designed to meet the demands of
mobile phones and other portable communication
devices. Operating on a single 5V supply, it is
capable of driving a 4Ω speaker load at a continuous
average output of 2.3W with less than 1% THD+N. Its
flexible power supply requirements allow operation
from 2.4V to 5.5V.
APPLICATIONS

•
Mobile Phones
PDAs
Portable Electronic Devices
The LM4670 has high efficiency with speaker loads
compared to a typical Class AB amplifier. With a 3.6V
supply driving an 8Ω speaker, the IC's efficiency for a
100mW power level is 77%, reaching 88% at 600mW
output power.

Efficiency at 3.6V, 100mW into 8Ω Speaker,
77% (Typ)
Efficiency at 3.6V, 600mW into 8Ω Speaker,

The LM4670 features a low-power consumption
shutdown mode. Shutdown may be enabled by
driving the Shutdown pin to a logic low (GND).
Efficiency at 5V, 1W into 8Ω Speaker, 87%
(Typ)
The gain of the LM4670 is externally configurable
which allows independent gain control from multiple
sources by summing the signals.
