FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LM4922 is a ground referenced, fixed-gain audio
power amplifier capable of delivering 80mW of
continuous average power into a 16Ω single-ended
load with less than 1% THD+N from a 3V power
supply.

Ground Referenced Outputs
High PSRR
Available in Space-Saving DSBGA Package
Ultra Low Current Shutdown Mode
The LM4922 features a new circuit technology that
utilizes a charge pump to generate a negative
reference voltage. This allows the outputs to be
biased about ground, thereby eliminating output-
coupling capacitors typically used with normal single-
ended loads.
Improved Pop and Click Circuitry Eliminates
Noises During Turn-On and Turn-Off

No Output Coupling Capacitors, Snubber
Networks, Bootstrap Capacitors, or Gain-
Setting Resistors Required
The LM4922 features an Automatic Standby Mode
circuitry (patent pending). In the absence of an input
signal, after approximately 12 seconds, the LM4922
goes into low current standby mode. The LM4922
recovers into full power operating mode immediately
after a signal is applied to either the left or right input
pins. This feature saves power supply current in
battery operated applications.

APPLICATIONS
•
•
•
•
•
Notebook PCs
Mobile Phone
PDAs
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed
specifically to provide high quality output power with a
minimal amount of external components. The
LM4922 does not require output coupling capacitors
or bootstrap capacitors, and therefore is ideally suited
for mobile phone and other low voltage applications
where minimal power consumption is a primary
requirement.
Portable Electronic Devices
MP3 Players
KEY SPECIFICATIONS
•
•
Improved PSRR at 217Hz, 70dB (Typ)
Power Output at VDD = 3V,
RL = 16Ω, THD ≦ 1%, 80mW (Typ)
The LM4922 features a low-power consumption
shutdown mode selectable for either channel
separately. This is accomplished by driving either the
SD_RC (Shutdown Right Channel) or SD_LC
(Shutdown Left Channel) (or both) pins with logic low,
depending on which channel is desired shutdown.
Additionally, the LM4922 features an internal thermal
shutdown protection mechanism.

•
Shutdown Current, 0.01µA (Typ)
Internal Fixed Gain, 1.5V/V (Typ)
Operating Voltage, 1.6V to 4.2V
The LM4922 contains advanced pop and click
circuitry that eliminates noises which would otherwise
occur during turn-on and turn-off transitions.
The LM4922 has an internal fixed gain of 1.5V/V.
