FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LM4960 utilizes a switching regulator to drive a
dual audio power amplifier. It delivers 24VP-P mono-
BTL to a ceramic speaker with less than 1.0%
THD+N while operating on a 3.0V power supply.

Wide Input Voltage Range (3.0V - 7V)
1.6MHz Switching Frequency
The LM4960's switching regulator is a current-mode
boost converter operating at a fixed frequency of
1.6MHz.
Boomer™ audio power amplifiers were designed
specifically to provide high quality output power with a
minimal amount of external components. The
LM4960 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.

Mobile Phone
PDA's
KEY SPECIFICATIONS
The LM4960 features a low-power consumption
externally controlled micropower shutdown mode.
Additionally, the LM4960 features and internal
thermal shutdown protection mechanism along with a
short circuit protection.
