LM4888
Dual 2.1W Audio Amplifier Plus Stereo Headphone & 3D
Enhancement
General Description
Key Specifications
The LM4888 is a dual bridge-connected audio power ampli-
fier which, when connected to a 5V supply, will deliver 2.1W
to a 4Ω load (Note 1) or 2.4W to a 3Ω load (Note 2) with less
than 1.0% THD+N.

The LM4888SQ also has two separate HP (headphone)
enable inputs, each having different logic level thresholds.
Either HP enable input activates the single ended head-
phone mode and disables the BTL output mode. The HP
Sense input is for use with a normal stereo headphone jack.
The remaining input, HP Logic, accepts standard logic level
thresholds.

Features
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to
provide high quality output power from a surface mount
package while requiring few external components. To sim-
plify audio system design, the LM4888SQ combines dual
bridge speaker amplifiers and stereo headphone amplifiers
on one chip.
n National 3D Enhancement
n Selectable headphone enable modes
n Stereo headphone amplifier mode
n Improved “click and pop” suppression circuitry
n Thermal shutdown protection circuitry
n PCB area-saving SQ package
The LM4888SQ features a low-power consumption shut-
down mode and thermal shutdown protection. It also utilizes
circuitry to reduce “clicks and pops” during device turn-on.
n Micro power shutdown mode
Note 1: An LM4888SQ that has been properly mounted to a circuit board
will deliver 2.1W into 4Ω. See the Application Information sections for further
information concerning the LM4888SQ.
Applications
n Cell phones
Note 2: An LM4888SQ that has been properly mounted to a circuit board
and forced-air cooled will deliver 2.4W into 3Ω.
n Multimedia monitors
n Portable and desktop computers
n Portable audio systems
