Monolithic Linear IC

LA4705
15 W 2-channel BTL AF Power Amplifier
for Car Stereos

Overview Package Dimensions

unit: mm
The LA4705 is a BTL two-channel power IC for car audio and
radio-cassette players developed in pursuit of excellent sound 3109-SIP18H
quality. Low-region frequency characteristics have been
improved through the use of a new NF capacitorless circuit, [LA4705]
and crosstalk which causes ‘‘muddy’’ sound has been reduced
by improving both circuit and pattern layout. As a result, the
LA4705 provides powerful bass and clear treble. In addition,
the LA4705 features on-chip protectors and standby switch.

Features and Usage Notes

. Pin 5 is the standby switch pin. The amplifier is turned on by applying approximately 2 V or more to this pin through an
. external resistor (R1). The current flowing into pin 5 is 500 µA or less.
Pin 6 is the mute pin. The amplifier on time can be set as desired through C3. By grounding pin 6, the amplifier can implement

. mute operation. In this case, the recovery time depends on C3.

In order to prevent damage or degradation which may be caused by abnormally heated IC, the LA4705 has a thermal shutdown
protector. Accordingly, in the case of inadequate heat dissipation, the thermal shutdown protector will operate to control the
output gradually into attenuation.
. Also be fully careful of handling other protectors built in the LA4705.

Description of External Components

C1, C4 Input capacitors 2.2 µF is recommended. fL can be varied by C1, C4 capacitances to adjust the
bass range.
C2 Decoupling capacitor
(ripple filter)
C3 Amplifier on time setting Approximately 0.6 to 0.7 second for 33 µF. Since the on time is proportional to
capacitor this capacitance, it can be set as desired by varying this capacitance. The
amplifier can implement mute operation by setting C3 to GND potential.
C5 Power supply capacitor
C6, C7, C8, C9 Oscillation blocking capacitors Use polyester film capacitors (Mylar capacitors) with good temperature
characteristics. (R2, R3, R4, and R5 used jointly.) Since stability may be
affected slightly by the pattern layout, etc., 0.1 µF or more is recommended.
R1 Standby switch current limiting 10 kΩ is recommended. This resistor cannot be removed.
