LM4781 pdf

The LM4781 is a three channel audio amplifier capable of
typically delivering 35W per channel of continuous average
output power into an 8Ω load with less than 0.5% THD+N
from 20Hz - 20kHz.
The LM4781 is fully protected utilizing National’s Self Peak
Instantaneous Temperature (°Ke) (SPiKeTM) protection circuitry.
SPiKe provides a dynamically optimized Safe Operating
Area (SOA). SPiKe protection completely safeguards the
LM4781’s outputs against over-voltage, under-voltage, overloads,
shorts to the supplies or GND, thermal runaway and
instantaneous temperature peaks. The advanced protection
features of the LM4781 places it in a class above discrete
and hybrid amplifiers.
Each amplifier of the LM4781 has an independent smooth
transition fade-in/out mute.
The LM4781 can easily be configured for bridge or parallel
operation for higher power and bi-amp solutions.
