Application Information
SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
In many applications, a microcontroller or microprocessor
output is used to control the shutdown circuitry to provide a
quick, smooth transition into shutdown. Another solution is to
use a single-pole, single-throw switch, and a pull-up resistor.
One terminal of the switch is connected to GND. The other
side is connected to the two shutdown pins and the terminal
of the pull-up resistor. The remaining resistance terminal is
connected to V
pull-up resistor connected to V
This scheme guarantees that the shutdown pins will not float
thus preventing unwanted state changes.
PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Proper selection of external components in applications us-
ing integrated power amplifiers, and switching DC-DC con-
verters, is critical for optimizing device and system perfor-
mance. Consideration to component values must be used to
maximize overall system quality.
The best capacitors for use with the switching converter
portion of the LM4802 are multi-layer ceramic capacitors.
They have the lowest ESR (equivalent series resistance)
and highest resonance frequency, which makes them opti-
mum for high frequency switching converters.
When selecting a ceramic capacitor, only X5R and X7R
dielectric types should be used. Other types such as Z5U
and Y5F have such severe loss of capacitance due to effects
of temperature variation and applied voltage, they may pro-
vide as little as 20% of rated capacitance in many typical
applications. Always consult capacitor manufacturer’s data
curves before selecting a capacitor. High-quality ceramic
capacitors can be obtained from Taiyo-Yuden, AVX, and
Murata.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
As with any amplifier, proper supply bypassing is critical for
low noise performance and high power supply rejection. The
capacitor location on both V1 and V

SELECTING INPUT CAPACITOR FOR AUDIO
AMPLIFIER
One of the major considerations is the closedloop bandwidth
of the amplifier. To a large extent, the bandwidth is dictated
by the choice of external components shown in Figure 1. The
input coupling capacitor, C
which limits low frequency response. This value should be
chosen based on needed frequency response for a few
distinct reasons.
High value input capacitors are both expensive and space
hungry in portable designs. Clearly, a certain value capacitor
is needed to couple in low frequencies without severe at-
tenuation. But ceramic speakers used in portable systems,
whether internal or external, have little ability to reproduce
signals below 100Hz to 150Hz. Thus, using a high value
input capacitor may not increase actual system perfor-
mance.
In addition to system cost and size, click and pop perfor-
mance is affected by the value of the input coupling capaci-

minimizing the capacitor value based on desired low fre-
quency response, turn-on pops can be minimized.

Besides minimizing the input capacitor value, careful consid-

SELECTING FEEDBACK CAPACITOR FOR AUDIO
AMPLIFIER
The LM4802B is unity-gain stable which gives the designer
maximum system flexability. However, to drive ceramic
speakers, a typical application requires a closed-loop differ-
ential gain of 10. In this case a feedback capacitor (C

amplifier.
This feedback capacitor creates a low pass filter that elimi-
nates possible high frequency oscillations. Care should be
taken when calculating the -3dB frequency because an in-

SELECTING OUTPUT CAPACITOR (C
CONVERTER
A single 4.7µF to 10µF ceramic capacitor will provide suffi-
cient output capacitance for most applications. If larger
amounts of capacitance are desired for improved line sup-
port and transient response, tantalum capacitors can be
used. Aluminum electrolytics with ultra low ESR such as
Sanyo Oscon can be used, but are usually prohibitively
expensive. Typical AI electrolytic capacitors are not suitable
for switching frequencies above 500 kHz because of signifi-
cant ringing and temperature rise due to self-heating from
ripple current. An output capacitor with excessive ESR can
also reduce phase margin and cause instability.
In general, if electrolytics are used, we recommended that
they be paralleled with ceramic capacitors to reduce ringing,
switching losses, and output voltage ripple.
SELECTING INPUT CAPACITOR (Cs1) FOR BOOST
CONVERTER
An input capacitor is required to serve as an energy reservoir
for the current which must flow into the coil each time the
switch turns ON. This capacitor must have extremely low
ESR, so ceramic is the best choice. We recommend a
nominal value of 4.7µF, but larger values can be used. Since
this capacitor reduces the amount of voltage ripple seen at
the input pin, it also reduces the amount of EMI passed back
along that line to other circuitry.
