10 / 15 page Application Information MUTE FUNCTION The mute function of the LM4702 is controlled by the amount of current that flows into the mute pin. If there is less than 1mA of current flowing into the mute pin, the part will be in mute. This can be achieved by shorting the mute pin to ground or by floating the mute pin. If there is between 1mA and 2mA of current flowing into the mute pin, the part will be in “play” mode. This can be done by connecting a power supply (Vmute) to the mute pin through a resistor (Rm). The current into the mute pin can be determined by the equation Imute = (Vmute – 2.9) / Rm. For example, if a 5V power supply is connected through a 1.4k resistor to the mute pin, then the mute current will be 1.5mA, at the center of the specified range. It is also possible to use Vcc as the power supply for the mute pin, though Rm will have to be recalcu- lated accordingly. It is not recommended to flow more than 2mA of current into the mute pin because damage to the LM4702 may occur. It is highly recommended to switch between mute and “play” modes rapidly. This is accomplished most easily through using a toggle switch that alternatively connects the mute pin through a resistor to either ground or the mute pin power supply. Slowly increasing the mute current may result in undesired voltages on the outputs of the LM4702, which can damage an attached speaker. THERMAL PROTECTION The LM4702 has a sophisticated thermal protection scheme to prevent long-term thermal stress of the device. When the temperature on the die exceeds 150˚C, the LM4702 shuts down. It starts operating again when the die temperature drops to about 145˚C, but if the temperature again begins to rise, shutdown will occur again above 150˚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 be- tween the thermal shutdown temperature limits of 150˚C and 145˚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 so that thermal shutdown is not activated 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 the Determining the Correct Heat Sink section. POWER DISSIPATION AND HEAT SINKING When in “play” mode, the LM4702 draws a constant amount of current, regardless of the input signal amplitude. Conse- quently, the power dissipation is constant for a given supply voltage and can be computed with the equation P DMAX = Icc * (Vcc – Vee). For a quick calculation of P DMAX, approximate the current to be 25mA and multiply it by the total supply voltage (the current varies slightly from this value over the operating range). 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 is not activated under normal circumstances. The thermal resistance from the die to the outside air, θ JA (junction to ambient), is a combination of three thermal re- sistances, θ JC (junction to case), θ CS (case to sink), and θ SA (sink to ambient). The thermal resistance, θ JC (junction to case), of the LM4702T is 0.8˚C/W. Using Thermalloy Ther- macote 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 tem- perature drops are analogous to voltage drops, the power dissipation out of the LM4702 is equal to the following: P DMAX =(TJMAX−TAMB)/ θ JA (1) where T JMAX = 150˚C, TAMB is the system ambient tempera- ture and θ JA = θ JC + θ CS + θ SA. 20158355 Once the maximum package power dissipation has been calculated using equation 2, the maximum thermal resis- tance, θ SA, (heat sink to ambient) in ˚C/W for a heat sink can be calculated. This calculation is made using equation 4 which is derived by solving for θ SA in equation 3. θ SA = [(TJMAX−TAMB)−PDMAX( θ JC + θ CS)]/PDMAX (2) 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. PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS Proper selection of external components is required to meet the design targets of an application. The choice of external component values that will affect gain and low frequency response are discussed below. The gain of each amplifier is set by resistors R f and Ri for the non-inverting configuration shown in Figure 1. The gain is found by Equation (3) below: A V =1+Rf /Ri (V/V) (3) For best noise performance, lower values of resistors are used. A value of 1k Ω is commonly used for R i and then setting the value of R f for the desired gain. For the LM4702 the gain should be set no lower than 26dB. Gain settings below 26dB may experience instability. The combination of R i with Ci (see Figure 1) creates a high pass filter. The low frequency response is determined by these two components. The -3dB point can be found from Equation (4) shown below: f i =1/(2 πR iCi) (Hz) (4) If an input coupling capacitor is used to block DC from the inputs as shown in Figure 5, there will be another high pass filter created with the combination of C IN and RIN. When using a input coupling capacitor R IN is needed to set the DC www.national.com 10 |
