The LM4841 is a monolithic integrated circuit that provides DC volume control and stereo bridged audio power amplifiers capable of producing 2W into 4 (Note 1) or 2.2W into 3 (Note 2) with less than 1.0% THD. The LM4841 uses advanced, latest generation circuitry to eliminate all traces of clicks and pops when the supply voltages is first applied. The amplifier has a headphoneamplifier-select input pin that is used to switch the amplifiers from bridge to single-ended mode for driving headphones. A new circuit topology eliminates headphone output coupling capacitors (patent pending).
