LM3876 Overture
Audio Power Amplifier Series
High-Performance 56W Audio Power Amplifier w/Mute
General Description
The LM3876 is a high-performance audio power amplifier
capable of delivering 56W of continuous average power to
an 8Ω load with 0.1% THD+N from 20Hz–20kHz.
The performance of the LM3876, utilizing its Self Peak In-
stantaneous Temperature (˚Ke) (SPiKe
cuitry, puts it in a class above discrete and hybrid amplifiers
by providing an inherently, dynamically protected Safe Op-
erating Area (SOA). SPiKe protection means that these
parts are completely safeguarded at the output against ov-
ervoltage, undervoltage, overloads, including shorts to the
supplies, thermal runaway, and instantaneous temperature
peaks.
The LM3876 maintains an excellent signal-to-noise ratio of
greater than 95dB (min) with a typical low noise floor of
2.0µV. It exhibits extremely low THD+N values of 0.06% at
the rated output into the rated load over the audio spectrum,
and provides excellent linearity with an IMD (SMPTE) typical
rating of 0.004%.
