Monolithic Linear IC

LA4628

Overview

Package Dimensions

The LA4628 is a 2-channel general-purpose BTL audio

power amplifier provided in a miniature package. It was
designed for the best possible audio quality and features
an extended low band roll-off frequency provided by a
newly-developed NF circuit that does not require an
external capacitor. Furthermore, crosstalk, which can
cause muddiness in the audio output, has been
significantly reduced by both circuit and wiring pattern
improvements. Thus this amplifier can provide powerful
lows and clear highs.

unit: mm

Note that this device is pin compatible with the 13.5 W

2-channel LA4625, and allows end products differentiated
by their power rating to share the same printed circuit
board.

External Components
C1 and C4: Input capacitors. A value of 2.2 F is recommended. Determine the polarity based on the DC potential of the
circuit connected directly to the LA4628 front end. Note that the low band response can be adjusted by
varying fL with the capacitors C1 and C4.
C2: Decoupling capacitor (ripple filter)
C3: Sets the amplifier starting time, which will be approximately 0.6 seconds for a value of 33 F. The starting
time is proportional to the value of this capacitor, and can be set to any desired value.
C5: Power-supply capacitor
C6, C7, C8, and C9:
Oscillation prevention capacitors. Use polyester film capacitors (Mylar capacitors) with excellent
characteristics. (Note that the series resistors R2, R3, R4, and R5 are used in conjunction with these
capacitors to achieve stable amplifier operation.) A value of 0.1 F is recommended.
C10: Impulse noise reduction capacitor. A value of 0.47 F is recommended. Caution is required when selecting
the value for this capacitor, since increasing its value influences the operation of the circuits that protect
against shorting the amplifier output pins to VCC or to ground when higher VCC voltages (approximately
16 V or higher) are used.
R1: Standby switch current limiting resistor. A value of 10 k is recommended when a voltage in the range 2.5
to 13.5 V will be applied as the standby switching voltage. Note that this resistor is not optional: it must be
included.

IC Internal Characteristics and Notes

1. Standby function
Pin 4 is the standby switch. A voltage of 2.5 V or
higher must be applied through an external resistor to
turn the amplifier on.
If a voltage of over 13.5 V will be applied as the
standby mode switching voltage, use the following
formula to determine the value of R1 so that the
current entering at pin 4 remains under 500 A.

2. Muting function
Pin 5 connects the capacitor that determines the starting time to prevent impulse noise. It can also be used to mute
the amplifier output by shorting pin 5 to ground. When this function is used, the recovery time depends on C3.

No. 6632-4/8

LA4628
3. Impulse noise improvements
While the LA4628 achieves a low level of impulse noise, if even further reductions in impulse noise at power on/off
(and when switching into or out of standby mode) a 0.47 F capacitor may be inserted between pin 7 and the PRE
GND pin (pin 3). (Pin 7 is the output amplifier bias pin. Since the ability to withstand shorting the output pins to
VCC or ground is reduced for supply voltages over 16 V if the pin 7 capacitance is large, we recommend a value of
0.47 F or lower for this capacitor.)
4. Protection circuits
Due to the system structure of the protection circuit for shorts to VCC or ground, if there is a DC resistance between
the amplifier output pins and ground, the protection circuit may operate when power is first applied and the
amplifier may fail to turn on. The basic design approach we recommend is not to adopt any designs in which there is
a DC resistance between the amplifier outputs and ground.
The LA4628 includes a built-in thermal protection circuit to prevent the IC from being damaged or destroyed if
abnormally high temperatures occur. This thermal protection circuit gradually reduces the output if the IC junction
temperature (Tj) reaches the range 170 to 180C due to inadequate heat sinking or other problem. If the temperature
falls, the amplifier will restart automatically.
The LA4628 also includes other protection circuits. Use of these circuits also requires care during end product
design and testing.
5. Other notes
The LA4628 is a BTL power amplifier. When testing this device, the ground systems for the test equipment
connected to IC inputs, and that for the test equipment connected to IC outputs, must be isolated. Do not use a
common ground.
