LM1875 LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

20W AUDIO POWER AMPLIFIER

 DESCRIPTION
1
The UTC LM1875 is a monolithic power amplifier offering very
low distortion and high quality performance for consumer audio TO-220-5
applications. It delivers 20W into a 4Ω or 8Ω load on ±25V supplies.
Using an 8Ω load and +30V supplies, over 30W of power may be
delivered. The amplifier is designed to operate with a minimum of
external components. Device overload protection consists of both
internal current limit and thermal shutdown.
The UTC LM1875 design utilizes advanced circuit techniques 1
and processing to achieve extremely low distortion levels even at
TO-220B
high output power levels. Other outstanding features include high
gain, fast slew rate and a wide power bandwidth, large output
voltage swing, high current capability, and a very wide supply range.
The amplifier is internally compensated and stable for gains of 10 or
greater.
 FEATURES
*Up to 30W output power
*Avo typically 90 dB
*Low distortion: 0.015%,1kHz,20W
*Wide power bandwidth: 70kHz
*Protection for AC and DC short circuits to ground
*Thermal protection with parole circuit
*High current capability: 4A
*Wide supply range 16V-60V
*Internal output protection diodes
*94 dB ripple rejection
 APPLICATIONS
*High performance audio systems
*Bridge amplifiers
*Stereo phonographs
*Servo amplifiers
*Instrument systems

Note: Assumes the use of a heat sink having a thermal resistance of 1℃/W and no insulator with an Ta=25℃.
Because the output limiting circuitry has a negative temperature coefficient, the maximum output power
delivered to a 4Ω load may be slightly reduced when the tab temperature exceeds 55℃.
