LM4870
1.1W Audio Power Amplifier with Shutdown Mode
General Description
The LM4870 is a bridge-connected audio power amplifier ca-
pable of delivering 1.1W of continuous average power to an
8Ω load with less than 0.5% THD+N over the audio spectrum
from a 5V power supply.
Boomer audio power amplifiers were designed specifically to
provide high quality output power with a minimal number of
external components. Since the LM4870 does not require
output coupling capacitors, bootstrap capacitors or snubber
networks, it is optimally suited for low-power portable sys-
tems.
The LM4870 features an externally controlled, low-power
consumption shutdown mode, as well as an internal thermal
shutdown protection mechanism. It also includes two head-
phone control inputs and a headphone sense output for ex-
ternal monitoring. The LM4870 is unity-gain stable and the
gain is set using external resistors.

Note 1: All voltages are measured with respect to the ground pins, unless otherwise specified.
Note 2: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is func-
tional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. Electrical Characteristics state DC and AC electrical specifications under particular test conditions which guar-
antee specific performance limits. This assumes that the device is within the Operating Ratings. Specifications are not guaranteed for parameters where no limit is
given, however, the typical value is a good indication of device performance.
Note 3: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJMAX, θJA , and the ambient temperature TA. The maximum
allowable power dissipation is PDMAX = (TJMAX − T A)/θJA or the number given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. For the LM4870, TJMAX =
+150˚C, and the typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, when board mounted, is 100˚C/W.
Note 4: Human body model, 100 pF discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor.
Note 5: Machine Model, 200 pF–240 pF discharged through all pins.
Note 6: Typicals are measured at 25˚C and represent the parametric norm.
Note 7: Limits are guaranteed to National’s AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
