• Manufacturer Part Number: LM4904
• Description: 1 Watt Audio Power Amplifier
• Manufacturer: National Semiconductor

Application Information
The LM4904 is unity-gain stable and requires no external
components besides gain-setting resistors, an input coupling
capacitor, and proper supply bypassing in the typical appli-
cation. However, if a closed-loop differential gain of greater
than 10 is required, a feedback capacitor (C4) may be
needed as shown in Figure 2 to bandwidth limit the amplifier.
This feedback capacitor creates a low pass filter that elimi-
