resistance, the square wave response will exhibit ringing if
the capacitance is greater than about 0.2 F. If highly ca-
pacitive loads are expected due to long speaker cables, a
method commonly employed to protect amplifiers from low
impedances at high frequencies is to couple to the load
through a 10
resistor in parallel with a 0.7 H inductor. The
inductor-resistor combination as shown in the Typical Ap-
plication Circuit isolates the feedback amplifier from the
load by providing high output impedance at high frequencies
thus allowing the 10
resistor to decouple the capacitive
load and reduce the Q of the series resonant circuit. The LR
combination also provides low output impedance at low
frequencies thus shorting out the 10
resistor and allowing
the amplifier to drive the series RC load (large capacitive
load due to long speaker cables) directly.
GENERALIZED AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER DESIGN
The system designer usually knows some of the following
parameters when starting an audio amplifier design:
Desired Power Output
Input Level
Input Impedance
Load Impedance
Maximum Supply Voltage
Bandwidth
The power output and load impedance determine the power
supply requirements, however, depending upon the applica-
tion some system designers may be limited to certain maxi-
mum supply voltages. If the designer does have a power
supply limitation, he should choose a practical load imped-
ance which would allow the amplifier to provide the desired
output power, keeping in mind the current limiting capabili-
ties of the device. In any case, the output signal swing and
current are found from (where P
O is the average output
power):

(6)
To determine the maximum supply voltage the following
parameters must be considered. Add the dropout voltage
(5 volts for LM3875) to the peak output swing, V
opeak,toget
the supply rail value, (i.e. + V
opeak + Vod) at a current of
I
opeak). The regulation of the supply determines the unloaded
voltage, usually about 15% higher. Supply voltage will also
rise 10% during high line conditions. Therefore, the maxi-
mum supply voltage is obtained from the following equation:
max. supplies
± (V
opeak + Vod(1 + regulation)(1.1) (7)
The input sensitivity and the output power specs determine
the minimum required gain as depicted below:
(8)
Normally the gain is set between 20 and 200; for a 40W, 8
audio amplifier this results in a sensitivity of 894 mV and
89 mV, respectively. Although higher gain amplifiers provide
greater output power and dynamic headroom capabilities,
there are certain shortcomings that go along with the so
called “gain”. The input referred noise floor is increased and
hence the SNR is worse. With the increase in gain, there is
also a reduction of the power bandwidth which results in a
decrease in feedback thus not allowing the amplifier to re-
spond as quickly to nonlinearities. This decreased ability to
respond to nonlinearities increases the THD + N specifica-
tion.
The desired input impedance is set by R
IN. Very high values
can cause board layout problems and DC offsets at the
output. The value for the feedback resistance, R
f1, should be
chosen to be a relatively large value (10 k
–100 k), and
the other feedback resistance, Ri, is calculated using stan-
dard op amp configuration gain equations. Most audio am-
plifiers are designed from the non-inverting amplifier configu-
ration.
DESIGN A 40W/8
AUDIO AMPLIFIER
Given:
Power Output
40W
Load Impedance
8
Input Level
1V
(max)
Input Impedance
100 k
Bandwidth
20 Hz–20 kHz ±0.25 dB
Equations (5), (6) give:
40W/8
V
opeak = 25.3V
I
opeak = 3.16A
Therefore the supply required is: ±30.3V @3.16A
With 15% regulation and high line the final supply voltage is
±38.3V using Equation (7). At this point it is a good idea to
check the Power Output vs Supply Voltage to ensure that the
required output power is obtainable from the device while
maintaining low THD + N. It is also good to check the Power
Dissipation vs Supply Voltage to ensure that the device can
handle the internal power dissipation. At the same time
designing in a relatively practical sized heat sink with a low
thermal resistance is also important. Refer to Typical Per-
formance Characteristics graphs and the Thermal Con-
siderations section for more information.
The minimum gain from Equation (8) is: A
V
≥ 18
We select a gain of 21 (Non-Inverting Amplifier); resulting in
a sensitivity of 894 mV.
Letting R
IN equal 100 k
gives the required input imped-
ance, however, this would eliminate the “volume control”
unless an additional input impedance was placed in series
with the 10 k
potentiometer that is depicted in Figure 1.
Adding the additional 100 k
resistor would ensure the
minimum required input impedance.
For low DC offsets at the output we let R
f1 = 100 k
. Solving
for Ri (Non-Inverting Amplifier) gives the following:
Ri=R
f1/(AV 1) = 100k/(21 1)=5k
; use 5.1 k
The bandwidth requirement must be stated as a pole, i.e.,
the 3 dB frequency. Five times away from a pole give
0.17 dB down, which is better than the required 0.25 dB.
Therefore:
f
L =20Hz/5=4Hz
f
H =20kHzx5=100 kHz
At this point, it is a good idea to ensure that the Gain
Bandwidth Product for the part will provide the designed gain
out to the upper 3 dB point of 100 kHz. This is why the
minimum GBWP of the LM3875 is important.
GBWP = A
V xf3dB=21x100 kHz=2.1 MHz
GBWP = 2.0 MHz (min) for LM3875
Solving for the low frequency roll-off capacitor, Ci, we have:
Ci > 1/(2
π Ri f
L) = 7.8 F; use 10 F.
