For a 4
Ω
load, and with 20V supplies, the LM1876 can deliver typically 22W of continuous average output power with less than 0.1%
(THD + N). With supplies above 20V, the LM1876 cannot deliver more than 22W into a 4
Ω
due to current limiting of the output
transistors. Thus, increasing the power supply above 20V will only increase the internal power dissipation, not the possible output power. Increased power dissipation will require a larger heat sink as explained in

APPLICATION INFORMATION
MUTE MODE
By placing a logic-high voltage on the mute pins, the signal going into the amplifiers will be muted. If the mute pins are left floating or connected to a logic-low voltage, the amplifiers will be in a non-muted state. There are two mute pins, one for each amplifier, so that one channel can be muted without muting the other if the application requires such a configuration. Refer to
for
and
STANDBY MODE
The standby mode of the LM1876 allows the user to drastically reduce power consumption when the amplifiers are idle. By placing a logic-high voltage on the standby pins, the amplifiers will go into Standby Mode. In this mode, the current drawn from the V
CC
supply is typically less than 10
μ
A total for both amplifiers. The current
drawn from the V
EE
supply is typically 4.2 mA. Clearly, there is a significant reduction in idle power consumption
when using the standby mode. There are two Standby pins, so that one channel can be put in standby mode without putting the other amplifier in standby if the application requires such flexibility. Refer to
for
and
.
UNDER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION
Upon system power-up, the under-voltage protection circuitry allows the power supplies and their corresponding capacitors to come up close to their full values before turning on the LM1876 such that no DC output spikes occur. Upon turn-off, the output of the LM1876 is brought to ground before the power supplies such that no transients occur at power-down.
OVER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION
The LM1876 contains over-voltage protection circuitry that limits the output current to approximately 3.5 Apk while also providing voltage clamping, though not through internal clamping diodes. The clamping effect is quite the same, however, the output transistors are designed to work alternately by sinking large current spikes.
SPiKe PROTECTION
The LM1876 is protected from instantaneous peak-temperature stressing of the power transistor array. The
in
shows the area of device operation where SPiKe Protection
Circuitry is not enabled. The waveform to the right of the SOA graph exemplifies how the dynamic protection will cause waveform distortion when enabled.
THERMAL PROTECTION
The LM1876 has a sophisticated thermal protection scheme to prevent long-term thermal stress of the device. When the temperature on the die reaches 165 C, the LM1876 shuts down. It starts operating again when the die temperature drops to about 155 C, but if the temperature again begins to rise, shutdown will occur again at 165 C. Therefore, the device is allowed to heat up to a relatively high temperature if the fault condition is temporary, but a sustained fault will cause the device to cycle in a Schmitt Trigger fashion between the thermal shutdown temperature limits of 165 C and 155 C. This greatly reduces the stress imposed on the IC by thermal cycling, which in turn improves its reliability under sustained fault conditions.
Since the die temperature is directly dependent upon the heat sink used, the heat sink should be chosen such that thermal shutdown will not be reached during normal operation. Using the best heat sink possible within the cost and space constraints of the system will improve the long-term reliability of any power semiconductor device, as discussed in
DETERMlNlNG MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION
Power dissipation within the integrated circuit package is a very important parameter requiring a thorough understanding if optimum power output is to be obtained. An incorrect maximum power dissipation calculation may result in inadequate heat sinking causing thermal shutdown and thus limiting the output power.

R
L
(1)
Thus by knowing the total supply voltage and rated output load, the maximum power dissipation point can be calculated. The package dissipation is twice the number which results from
since there are two
amplifiers in each LM1876. Refer to
and
in
which show
the actual full range of power dissipation not just the maximum theoretical point that results from
DETERMINING THE CORRECT HEAT SINK
The choice of a heat sink for a high-power audio amplifier is made entirely to keep the die temperature at a level such that the thermal protection circuitry does not operate under normal circumstances.
The thermal resistance from the die (junction) to the outside air (ambient) is a combination of three thermal resistances,
Θ
JC
,
Θ
CS
, and
Θ
SA
. In addition, the thermal resistance,
Θ
JC
(junction to case), of the LM1876TF is
2 C/W and the LM1876T is 1 C/W. Using Thermalloy Thermacote thermal compound, the thermal resistance,
Θ
CS
(case to sink), is about 0.2 C/W. Since convection heat flow (power dissipation) is analogous to current flow,
thermal resistance is analogous to electrical resistance, and temperature drops are analogous to voltage drops, the power dissipation out of the LM1876 is equal to the following:
P
DMAX
= (T
JMAX
-
T
AMB
)/
Θ
JA
where
T
JMAX
= 150 C
T
AMB
is the system ambient temperature
Θ
JA
=
Θ
JC
+
Θ
CS
+
Θ
SA
(2)
Once the maximum package power dissipation has been calculated using
, the maximum thermal
resistance,
Θ
SA
, (heat sink to ambient) in C/W for a heat sink can be calculated. This calculation is made using
which is derived by solving for
Θ
SA
in
Θ
SA
= [(T
JMAX
-
T
AMB
)
-
P
DMAX
(
Θ
JC
+
Θ
CS
)]/P
DMAX
(3)
Again it must be noted that the value of
Θ
SA
is dependent upon the system designer's amplifier requirements. If
the ambient temperature that the audio amplifier is to be working under is higher than 25 C, then the thermal resistance for the heat sink, given all other things are equal, will need to be smaller.
SUPPLY BYPASSING
The LM1876 has excellent power supply rejection and does not require a regulated supply. However, to improve system performance as well as eliminate possible oscillations, the LM1876 should have its supply leads bypassed with low-inductance capacitors having short leads that are located close to the package terminals. Inadequate power supply bypassing will manifest itself by a low frequency oscillation known as motorboating or by high frequency instabilities. These instabilities can be eliminated through multiple bypassing utilizing a large tantalum or electrolytic capacitor (10
μ
F or larger) which is used to absorb low frequency variations and a small
ceramic capacitor (0.1
μ
F) to prevent any high frequency feedback through the power supply lines.
If adequate bypassing is not provided, the current in the supply leads which is a rectified component of the load current may be fed back into internal circuitry. This signal causes distortion at high frequencies requiring that the supplies be bypassed at the package terminals with an electrolytic capacitor of 470
μ
F or more.
BRIDGED AMPLIFIER APPLICATION
The LM1876 has two operational amplifiers internally, allowing for a few different amplifier configurations. One of these configurations is referred to as bridged mode and involves driving the load differentially through the LM1876's outputs. This configuration is shown in
. Bridged mode operation is different from the classical
single-ended amplifier configuration where one side of its load is connected to ground.
A bridge amplifier design has a distinct advantage over the single-ended configuration, as it provides differential drive to the load, thus doubling output swing for a specified supply voltage. Consequently, theoretically four times the output power is possible as compared to a single-ended amplifier under the same conditions. This increase in attainable output power assumes that the amplifier is not current limited or clipped.

A direct consequence of the increased power delivered to the load by a bridge amplifier is an increase in internal power dissipation. For each operational amplifier in a bridge configuration, the internal power dissipation will increase by a factor of two over the single ended dissipation. Thus, for an audio power amplifier such as the LM1876, which has two operational amplifiers in one package, the package dissipation will increase by a factor of four. To calculate the LM1876's maximum power dissipation point for a bridged load, multiply
by a
factor of four.
This value of P
DMAX
can be used to calculate the correct size heat sink for a bridged amplifier application. Since
the internal dissipation for a given power supply and load is increased by using bridged-mode, the heatsink's
Θ
SA
will have to decrease accordingly as shown by
. Refer to
for a more detailed discussion of proper heat sinking for a given application.
SINGLE-SUPPLY AMPLIFIER APPLICATION
The typical application of the LM1876 is a split supply amplifier. But as shown in
, the LM1876 can also
be used in a single power supply configuration. This involves using some external components to create a half- supply bias which is used as the reference for the inputs and outputs. Thus, the signal will swing around half- supply much like it swings around ground in a split-supply application. Along with proper circuit biasing, a few other considerations must be accounted for to take advantage of all of the LM1876 functions.
The LM1876 possesses a mute and standby function with internal logic gates that are half-supply referenced. Thus, to enable either the Mute or Standby function, the voltage at these pins must be a minimum of 2.5V above half-supply. In single-supply systems, devices such as microprocessors and simple logic circuits used to control the mute and standby functions, are usually referenced to ground, not half-supply. Thus, to use these devices to control the logic circuitry of the LM1876, a level shifter, like the one shown in
must be employed. A
level shifter is not needed in a split-supply configuration since ground is also half-supply.
Figure 45. Level Shift Circuit
When the voltage at the Logic Input node is 0V, the 2N3904 is off and thus resistor R
c
pulls up mute or standby
input to the supply. This enables the mute or standby function. When the Logic Input is 5V, the 2N3904 is on and consequently, the voltage at the collector is essentially 0V. This will disable the mute or standby function, and thus the amplifier will be in its normal mode of operation. R
shift
, along with C
shift
, creates an RC time constant
that reduces transients when the mute or standby functions are enabled or disabled. Additionally, R
shift
limits the
current supplied by the internal logic gates of the LM1876 which insures device reliability. Refer to
and
in
for a more detailed description of these functions.
CLICKS AND POPS
In the typical application of the LM1876 as a split-supply audio power amplifier, the IC exhibits excellent click and pop performance when utilizing the mute and standby modes. In addition, the device employs Under- Voltage Protection, which eliminates unwanted power-up and power-down transients. The basis for these functions are a stable and constant half-supply potential. In a split-supply application, ground is the stable half- supply potential. But in a single-supply application, the half-supply needs to charge up just like the supply rail, V
CC
. This makes the task of attaining a clickless and popless turn-on more challenging. Any uneven charging of
the amplifier inputs will result in output clicks and pops due to the differential input topology of the LM1876.

To achieve a transient free power-up and power-down, the voltage seen at the input terminals should be ideally the same. Such a signal will be common-mode in nature, and will be rejected by the LM1876. In
the
resistor R
INP
serves to keep the inputs at the same potential by limiting the voltage difference possible between
the two nodes. This should significantly reduce any type of turn-on pop, due to an uneven charging of the amplifier inputs. This charging is based on a specific application loading and thus, the system designer may need to adjust these values for optimal performance.
As shown in
the resistors labeled R
BI
help bias up the LM1876 off the half-supply node at the emitter of
the 2N3904. But due to the input and output coupling capacitors in the circuit, along with the negative feedback, there are two different values of R
BI
, namely 10 k
Ω
and 200 k
Ω
. These resistors bring up the inputs at the same
rate resulting in a popless turn-on. Adjusting these resistors values slightly may reduce pops resulting from power supplies that ramp extremely quick or exhibit overshoot during system turn-on.

A designer must first determine the power supply requirements in terms of both voltage and current needed to obtain the specified output power. V

To determine the maximum supply voltage the following conditions must be considered. Add the dropout voltage to the peak output swing V
OPEAK
, to get the supply rail at a current of I
OPEAK
. The regulation of the supply
determines the unloaded voltage which is usually about 15% higher. The supply voltage will also rise 10% during high line conditions. Therefore the maximum supply voltage is obtained from the following equation.
Max supplies

For 15W of output power into an 8
Ω
load, the required V
OPEAK
is 15.49V. A minimum supply rail of 20.5V results
from adding V
OPEAK
and V
OD
. With regulation, the maximum supplies are 26V and the required I
OPEAK
is 1.94A
from
It should be noted that for a dual 15W amplifier into an 8
Ω
load the I
OPEAK
drawn from the
supplies is twice 1.94 Apk or 3.88 Apk. At this point it is a good idea to check the Power Output vs Supply Voltage to ensure that the required output power is obtainable from the device while maintaining low THD+N. In addition, the designer should verify that with the required power supply voltage and load impedance, that the required heatsink value
Θ
SA
is feasible given system cost and size constraints. Once the heatsink issues have
been addressed, the required gain can be determined from
.

was selected for R

. The final design step is to address the bandwidth requirements which must be
stated as a pair of

3 dB frequency points. Five times away from a

3 dB point is 0.17 dB down from passband
response which is better than the required 0.25 dB specified. This fact results in a low and high frequency pole of 4 Hz and 100 kHz respectively. As stated in

The high frequency pole is determined by the product of the desired high frequency pole, f
H
, and the gain, A
V
.
With a A
V
= 21 and f
H
= 100 kHz, the resulting GBWP is 2.1 MHz, which is less than the minimum GBWP of the
LM1876 of 5 MHz. This will ensure that the high frequency response of the amplifier will be no worse than 0.17 dB down at 20 kHz which is well within the bandwidth requirements of the design.
