FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LM4673 is a single supply, high efficiency,
2.65W, mono, Class D audio amplifier. A low noise,
filterless PWM architecture eliminates the output filter,
reducing external component count, board area
consumption, system cost, and simplifying design.

The LM4673 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 2.1W with less than 1% THD+N. Its
flexible power supply requirements allow operation
from 2.4V to 5.5V.
Available in Space-Saving 0.4mm Pitch
DSBGA and WSON Packages
APPLICATIONS
The LM4673 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 80%, reaching 88% at 400mW
output power.

Portable Electronic Devices
The LM4673 features a low-power consumption
shutdown mode. Shutdown may be enabled by
driving the Shutdown pin to a logic low (GND).
KEY SPECIFICATIONS
•
Efficiency at 3.6V, 400mW into 8Ω Speaker
88% (typ)
The gain of the LM4673 is externally configurable
which allows independent gain control from multiple
sources by summing the signals. Output short circuit
and thermal overload protection prevent the device
from damage during fault conditions.
