Where to use the LM4871 Audio Amplifier?

The LM4871 is an Audio Amplifier with Shutdown mode feature. LM4871 does not require output coupling capacitors, bootstrap capacitors, or snubber networks, it is ideally suited for low-power portable systems that require minimum volume and weight. LM4871 audio power amplifiers are designed specifically to provide high power, high fidelity audio output. nSo you can use this audio amplifier in portable computers, desktop computers, and low voltage audio systems.

 

How to use LM4871:

The LM4871 only require few external components and operate on low supply voltages from 2.0V to 5.5V. The application circuit from the LM4871 datasheet is given below.

LM4871 Amplifier Circuit Diagram

As shown in the above diagram, the LM4871 has two operational amplifiers internally, allowing for a few different amplifier configurations. The first amplifier's gain is externally configurable; the second amplifier is internally fixed in a unity-gain, inverting configuration. The closed-loop gain of the first amplifier is set by selecting the ratio of Rf to Ri while the second amplifier's gain is fixed by the two internal 40kΩ resistors. The figure shows that the output of amplifier one serves as the input to amplifier two, which results in both amplifiers producing signals identical in magnitude, but 180° out of phase.

 

Applications of LM4871:

  • Portable Computers
  • Desktop Computers
  • Low Voltage Audio Systems
