PCB LAYOUT AND SUPPLY REGULATION
CONSIDERATIONS FOR DRIVING 3Ω AND 4Ω LOADS
Power dissipated by a load is a function of the voltage swing
across the load and the load’s impedance. As load imped-
ance decreases, load dissipation becomes increasingly de-
pendent on the interconnect (PCB trace and wire) resistance
between the amplifier output pins and the load’s connec-
tions. Residual trace resistance causes a voltage drop,
which results in power dissipated in the trace and not in the
load as desired. For example, 0.1Ω trace resistance reduces
the output power dissipated by a 4Ω load from 1.7W to 1.6W.
The problem of decreased load dissipation is exacerbated
as load impedance decreases. Therefore, to maintain the
highest load dissipation and widest output voltage swing,
PCB traces that connect the output pins to a load must be as
wide as possible.
Poor power supply regulation adversely affects maximum
output power. A poorly regulated supply’s output voltage
decreases with increasing load current. Reduced supply
voltage causes decreased headroom, output signal clipping,
and reduced output power. Even with tightly regulated sup-
plies, trace resistance creates the same effects as poor
supply regulation. Therefore, making the power supply
traces as wide as possible helps maintain full output voltage
swing.
BRIDGE CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION
As shown in Figure 2, the LM4854 consists of three opera-
tional amplifiers. In mono mode, AMP1 and AMP2 operate in
series to drive a speaker connected between their outputs.
In stereo mode, AMP1 and AMP3 are used to drive stereo
headphones or other SE load.
In mono mode, external resistors R
loop gain of AMP1, whereas two internal 20kΩ resistors set
AMP2’s gain at -1. The LM4854 drives a load, such as a
speaker, connected between the two amplifier outputs,
L-OUT and BTL-OUT.
Figure 2 shows that AMP1’s output serves as AMP2’s input.
This results in both amplifiers producing signals identical in
magnitude, but 180˚ out of phase. Taking advantage of this
phase difference, a load is placed between L-OUT and BTL-
OUT and driven differentially (commonly referred to as
"bridge mode"). This results in a differential,or BTL, gain of:
Bridge mode amplifiers are different from single-ended am-
plifiers that drive loads connected between a single amplifi-
er’s output and ground. For a given supply voltage, bridge
mode has a distinct advantage over the single-ended con-
figuration: its differential output doubles the voltage swing
across the load. Theoretically, this produces four times the
output power when compared to a single-ended amplifier
under the same conditions. This increase in attainable output
power assumes that the amplifier is not current limited and
that the output signal is not clipped. To ensure minimum
output signal clipping when choosing an amplifier’s closed-
loop gain, refer to the Audio Power Amplifier Design section.
Another advantage of the differential bridge output is no net
DC voltage across the load. This is accomplished by biasing
AMP1’s and AMP2’s outputs at half-supply. This eliminates
the coupling capacitor that single supply, single-ended am-
plifiers require. Eliminating an output coupling capacitor in a

typical single-ended configuration forces a single-supply am-
plifier’s half-supply bias voltage across the load. This in-
creases internal IC power dissipation and may permanently
damage loads such as speakers.
POWER DISSIPATION
Power dissipation is a major concern when designing a
successful single-ended or bridged amplifier. Equation (2)
states the maximum power dissipation point for a single-
ended amplifier operating at a given supply voltage and
driving a specified output load.
However, a direct consequence of the increased power de-
livered to the load by a bridge amplifier is higher internal
power dissipation for the same conditions. The LM4854 has
two operational amplifiers driving a mono bridge load. The
maximum internal power dissipation operating in the bridge
mode is twice that of a single-ended amplifier. From Equa-
tion (3), assuming a 5V power supply and an 8Ω load, the
maximum BTL-mode power dissipation is 317mW.
The maximum power dissipation point given by Equation (3)
must not exceed the power dissipation given by Equation
(4):

For a typical application with a 5V power supply and an 8Ω
load, the maximum ambient temperature that allows maxi-
mum stereo power dissipation without exceeding the maxi-
mum junction temperature is approximately 73˚C for the IBL
package.
Equation (6) gives the maximum junction temperature T

maximum junction temperature by reducing the power sup-
ply voltage or increasing the load resistance. Further allow-
ance should be made for increased ambient temperatures.
The above examples assume that a device is a surface
mount part operating around the maximum power dissipation
point. Since internal power dissipation is a function of output
