LM4832
Digitally Controlled Tone and Volume Circuit with Stereo
Audio Power Amplifier, Microphone Preamp Stage and
National 3D Sound
General Description
The LM4832 is a monolithic integrated circuit that provides
volume and tone (bass and treble) controls as well as a ste-
reo audio power amplifier capable of producing 250 mW
(typ) into 8
or 90 mW (typ) into 32 with less than 1.0%
THD. In addition, a two input microphone preamp stage, with
volume control, capable of drivinga1k
load is imple-
mented on chip.
The LM4832 also features National’s 3D Sound circuitry
which can be externally adjusted via a simple RC network.
For maximum system flexibility, the LM4832 has an exter-
nally controlled, low-power consumption shutdown mode,
and an independent mute for power and microphone ampli-
fiers .
Boomer audio integrated circuits were designed specifically
to provide high quality audio while requiring few external
components. Since the LM4832 incorporates tone and vol-
ume controls, a stereo audio power amplifier and a micro-
phone preamp stage, it is optimally suited to multimedia
monitors and desktop computer applications.
