Application Information
SELECTING PROPER EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Optimizing the LM4866’s performance requires properly se-
lecting external components. Though the LM4866 operates
well when using external components with wide tolerances,
best performance is achieved by optimizing component val-
ues.
The LM4866 is unity-gain stable, giving a designer maximum
design flexibility. The gain should be set to no more than a
given application requires. This allows the amplifier to
achieve minimum THD+N and maximum signal-to-noise ra-
tio. These parameters are compromised as the closed-loop
gain increases. However, low gain demands input signals
with greater voltage swings to achieve maximum output
power. Fortunately, many signal sources such as audio CO-
DECs have outputs of 1V
Audio Power Amplifier Design section for more informa-
tion on selecting the proper gain.
Input Capacitor Value Selection
Amplifying the lowest audio frequencies requires high value
input coupling capacitor (C
tor can be expensive and may compromise space efficiency
in portable designs. In many cases, however, the speakers
used in portable systems, whether internal or external, have
little ability to reproduce signals below 150Hz. Applications
using speakers with this limited frequency response reap
little improvement by using large input capacitor.
Besides effecting system cost and size, C
the LM4866’s click and pop performance. When the supply
voltage is first applied, a transient (pop) is created as the
charge on the input capacitor changes from zero to a quies-
cent state. The magnitude of the pop is directly proportional
to the input capacitor’s size. Higher value capacitors need
more time to reach a quiescent DC voltage (usually V
when charged with a fixed current. The amplifier’s output
charges the input capacitor through the feedback resistor,

Bypass Capacitor Value Selection
Besides minimizing the input capacitor size, careful consid-
eration should be paid to value of C
nected to the BYPASS pin. Since C
the LM4866 settles to quiescent operation, its value is critical
when minimizing turn−on pops. The slower the LM4866’s
outputs ramp to their quiescent DC voltage (nominally 1/2
V
1.0µF along with a small value of C
0.39µF), produces a click-less and pop-less shutdown func-
tion. As discussed above, choosing C
sary for the desired bandwidth helps minimize clicks and
pops.
OPTIMIZING CLICK AND POP REDUCTION PERFOR-
MANCE
The LM4866 contains circuitry to minimize turn-on and shut-
down transients or ’clicks and pop’. For this discussion,
turn-on refers to either applying the power supply voltage or
when the shutdown mode is deactivated. While the power
supply is ramping to its final value, the LM4866’s internal
amplifiers are configured as unity gain buffers. An internal
current source changes the voltage of the BYPASS pin in a
controlled, linear manner. Ideally, the input and outputs track
the voltage applied to the BYPASS pin. The gain of the
internal amplifiers remains unity until the voltage on the
bypass pin reaches 1/2 V
BYPASS pin is stable, the device becomes fully operational.
Although the bypass pin current cannot be modified, chang-
ing the size of C
magnitude of ’clicks and pops’. Increasing the value of C
reduces the magnitude of turn-on pops. However, this pre-
sents a tradeoff: as the size of C
increases. There is a linear relationship between the size of
C
for various values of C
In order eliminate ’clicks and pops’, all capacitors must be
discharged before turn-on. Rapidly switching V
allow the capacitors to fully discharge, which may cause
’clicks and pops’.
NO LOAD STABILITY
The LM4866 may exhibit low level oscillation when the load
resistance is greater than 10kΩ. This oscillation only occurs
as the output signal swings near the supply voltages. Pre-
vent this oscillation by connecting a 5kΩ between the output
pins and ground.
