LM49151

The LM49151 is a fully integrated audio subsystem designed for portable handheld applications such as cellular phones. The LM49151 combines a 1.25W mono E 2S class D amplifier, 125mW Class AB earpiece driver, 42mW/channel stereo ground referenced headphone drivers, volume control, input mixer/multiplexer, and speaker protection into a single device.

The LM49151 class D speaker amplifier features National's unique Automatic Level Control (ALC) that provides both a I 2C programmable no-clip feature with Clip Controls and speaker protection. The E 2S (Enhanced Emission Suppression) class D amplifier features a patented, ultra low EMI PWM architecture that significantly reduces RF emissions while preserving audio quality and efficiency while delivering 1.25W into an 8Ω load with <1% THD+N with a 5V supply. The 42mW/channel headphone drivers feature National's ground referenced architecture that creates a ground-referenced output from a single supply, eliminating the need for bulky and expensive DC-blocking capacitors, saving space and minimizing system cost.

The LM49151 features separate volume controls for the loudspeaker and headphone inputs. Mode selection, shutdown control, and volume are controlled through an I 2C compatible interface. The LM49151's superior click and pop suppression eliminates audible transients on power-up/down and during shutdown.
