Overview
Audio Output for TV application
10W BTL Monaural Power Amplifier IC
The LA4902 is a high-efficiency monaural BTL power amplifier.
The LA4902 holds the number of external components to a minimum and reduces power consumption (thermal loss) in the
operating range to one half that of earlier class B power amplifiers by using a signal following switching system for the
power supply to the amplifier output stage and by including a nonlinear amplifier in the signal system.
The use of a DIP-28H package obviates the need for a separate heat sink and can contribute to internal space savings in end
products.
Functions
•
High-efficiency 10W monaural BTL power amplifier (VCC = 14V, RL = 8Ω)
•
Provided in a DIP-28H package (no heat sink is required)
•
The number of required signal-following switching circuits has been held to a single circuit, thus reducing even further
the number of external components required.
•
The output is a fully analog signal, and no switching noise appears on the output lines.
•
Built-in standby switch (amplifier block/headphone block)
•
Built-in headphone amplifier : 1 input/2 output (VG = 6dB, PO = 60mW)
•
Built-in protection circuits (overvoltage and thermal protection circuits)

LA4902
High-efficiency technologies used in the LA4902
1. Signal following switching method
The switching regulator technique is adopted in the
LA4902's power supply system used for the amplifier's
output stage. Power consumption is reduced significantly
by having the switching regulator's output voltage follow
the signal level. Furthermore, we were able to hold the
number of switching regulator circuits required to a single
circuit by use in combination with the nonlinear amplifier
technique described below. (See figure 1.)

2. Nonlinear amplifier technique
Nonlinear Amplifier I/O Characteristics
The LA4902 adopts a nonlinear amplifier in the amplifier
signal system that has the nonlinear characteristics shown
OUTPUT +
in figure 2. This system eliminates the need for the
switching regulator used for the low side signal by
lowering the midpoint voltage from the 1/2 VCC used in
normal amplifiers to about 2V.
–
This nonlinear amplifier is formed based on a differential
amplifier that has a symmetrical negative feedback circuit.
Although the BTL output stage positive phase and reverse
phase output waveforms have the compressed/expanded
half-wave waveform shown in figure 3, the synthesized
–
output waveform at the negative terminal is the same as
that output by earlier products.
