Product Overview

The LM4910 is a Texas Instruments stereo headphone amplifier in the Signal_Chain category. It is specified for a 2.2 V to 5.5 V operating supply range, with a 6.0 V absolute maximum supply rating and input voltage limits of -0.3 V to VDD + 0.3 V. Package options listed in the supplied facts are MSOP, LLP, and SOIC, with no package dimensions provided in the excerpt.

At VDD=3.3 V, AV=1, RL=32 ohm, f=1 kHz, and TA=25 C, the device provides 35 mW typical and 30 mW minimum output power at 1% THD maximum. At VDD=3.0 V under the same load and gain conditions, output power is 30 mW typical and 25 mW minimum; at VDD=2.6 V, output power is 13 mW typical.

The amplifier uses an output capacitor-less headphone topology, so output coupling capacitors are not required. An internal buffered bandgap reference bias also removes the need for a half-supply bypass capacitor. The headphone sleeve amplifier applies a 1.58 V reference to the stereo jack sleeve and shuts down if sleeve amplifier current exceeds 500 mAPK.

Protection and system behavior include internal thermal shutdown protection, advanced pop-and-click circuitry for turn-on and turn-off noise suppression, standby current down to 0.1 uA typical, and specified ESD susceptibility ratings for human body and machine model conditions.

Procurement Notes

When requesting a quote for LM4910, buyers should confirm the manufacturer, package or case, required quantity, target date code, compliance documents, packing method, destination country and expected delivery schedule.

If alternatives are acceptable, buyers should share the approved vendor list, required electrical or optical limits, package constraints and qualification requirements. Any alternative part should be reviewed by the buyer's engineering team before production use.

For analog and signal-chain sourcing, supply voltage, bandwidth, accuracy, noise level, package, temperature grade, input/output configuration and qualification requirements should be verified before approval.

FAQ

What supply voltage range does the LM4910 support?

The LM4910 operating supply voltage range is 2.2 V to 5.5 V. Its absolute maximum supply voltage rating is 6.0 V, and input voltage is limited to -0.3 V to VDD + 0.3 V.

How much output power is specified at 3.3 V?

At VDD=3.3 V, AV=1, RL=32 ohm, f=1 kHz, and TA=25 C, the LM4910 output power is specified as 35 mW typical and 30 mW minimum at 1% THD maximum.

Does the LM4910 require output coupling capacitors?

No. The extracted datasheet facts describe the LM4910 as an output capacitor-less headphone amplifier topology, with output coupling capacitors not required. A half-supply bypass capacitor is also not required because of the internal buffered bandgap reference bias.

What protection functions are listed for the LM4910?

The LM4910 includes internal thermal shutdown protection. The headphone sleeve amplifier also shuts down if the current it supplies exceeds the 500 mAPK protection threshold.
