High Efficiency Class H, High Voltage, Haptic Piezo
Actuator / Ceramic Speaker Driver
General Description
The LM48580 is a fully differential, high voltage driver for
piezo actuators and ceramic speakers for portable multi-me-
dia devices. Part of National’s Powerwise product line, the
LM48580’s Class H architecture offers significant power sav-
ings compared to traditional Class AB amplifiers. The device
provides 30VP-P output drive while consuming just 15mW of
quiescent power.
The LM48580 is a single supply driver with an integrated
boost converter which allows the device to deliver 30VP-P from
a single 3.6V supply.
The LM48580 has three pin-programmable gain settings and
a low power Shutdown mode that reduces quiescent current
consumption to 0.1µA. The LM48580 is available in an ultra-
small 12-bump micro SMD package (1.46mm x 1.97mm).

Application Information
GENERAL AMPLIFIER FUNCTION
The LM48580 is a fully differential, Class H ceramic element
driver for ceramic speakers and haptic actuators. The inte-
grated, high efficiency boost converter dynamically adjusts
the amplifier’s supply voltage based on the output signal, in-
creasing headroom and improving efficiency compared to a
conventional Class AB driver. The fully differential amplifier
takes advantage of the increased headroom and bridge-tied
load (BTL) architecture, delivering significantly more voltage
than a single-ended amplifier.
CLASS H OPERATION
Class H is a modification of another amplifier class (typically
Class B or Class AB) to increase efficiency and reduce power
dissipation. To decrease power dissipation, Class H uses a
tracking power supply that monitors the output signal and ad-
justs the supply accordingly. When the amplifier output is
below 3VP-P, the nominal boost voltage is 6V. As the amplifier
output increases above 3VP-P, the boost voltage tracks the
amplifier output as shown in Figure 4. When the amplifier out-
put falls below 3VP-P, the boost converter returns to its nom-
inal output voltage. Power dissipation is greatly reduced
compared to conventional Class AB drivers.
30108021
FIGURE 4. Class H Operation
PROPERTIES OF PIEZOELECTRIC ELEMENTS
Piezoelectric elements such as ceramic speakers or piezo-
electric haptic actuators are capacitive in nature. Due to their
capacitive nature, piezoelectric elements appear as low
impedance loads at high frequencies (typically above 5kHz).
A resistor in series with the piezoelectric element is required
to ensure the amplifier does not see a short at high frequen-
cies.
The value of the series resistor depends on the capacitance
of the element, the frequency content of the output signal, and
the desired frequency response. Higher valued resistors min-
imize power dissipation at high frequencies, but also impacts
the frequency response. This configuration is ideal for use
with haptic actuators, where the majority of the signal content
is typically below 2kHz. Conversely, lower valued resistors
maximize frequency response, while increasing power dissi-
pation at high frequency. This configuration is ideal for ce-
ramic speaker applications, where high frequency audio
content needs to be reproduced. Resistor values are typically
between 10 and 20Ω.
DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER EXPLANATION
The LM48580 features a fully differential amplifier. A differ-
ential amplifier amplifies the difference between the two input
signals. A major benefit of the fully differential amplifier is the
improved common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) over single
ended input amplifiers. The increased CMRR of the differen-
tial amplifier reduces sensitivity to ground offset related noise
injection, especially important in noisy systems.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
The LM48580 features thermal shutdown that protects the
device during thermal overload conditions. When the junction
temperature exceeds +160°C, the device is disabled. The
LM48580 remains disabled until the die temperature falls be-
low the +160°C and SHDN is toggled.
GAIN SETTING
The LM48580 features three internally configured gain set-
tings 18, 24, and 30dB. The device gain is selected through
a single pin (GAIN). The gain settings are shown in Table 2.

FLOAT 18dB
GND 24dB
VDD 30dB

LM48580
SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
The LM48580 features a low current shutdown mode. Set
SD = GND to disable the amplifier and boost converter and
reduce supply current to 0.01µA.
SINGLE-ENDED INPUT CONFIGURATION
The LM48580 is compatible with single-ended sources. When
configured for single-ended inputs, input capacitors must be
used to block and DC component at the input of the device.
Figure 5 shows the typical single-ended applications circuit.

FIGURE 5. Single-Ended Configuration
PROPER SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Boost Converter Capacitor Selection
The LM48580 boost converter requires three external capac-
itors for proper operation: a 1μF supply bypass capacitor, and
1μF + 100pF output reservoir capacitors. Place the supply
bypass capacitor as close to VDD as possible. Place the reser-
voir capacitors as close to VBST and VAMP as possible. Low
ESR surface-mount multi-layer ceramic capacitors with X7R
or X5R temperature characteristics are recommended. Select
output capacitors with voltage rating of 25V or higher. Tanta-
lum, OS-CON and aluminum electrolytic capacitors are not
recommended. See Table 4 for suggested capacitor manu-
facturers.
BOOST CONVERTER OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
Inductor Selection
The LM48580 boost converter is designed for use with a
4.7μH inductor. Table 3 lists various inductors and their man-
ufacturers. Choose an inductor with a saturation current rating
greater than the maximum operating peak current of the
LM48580 (> 1A). This ensures that the inductor does not sat-
urate, preventing excess efficiency loss, over heating and
possible damage to the inductor. Additionally, choose an in-
ductor with the lowest possible DCR (series resistance) to
further minimize efficiency losses.

ISAT
Taiyo Yuden BRL3225T4R7M 4.7µH/1.1A
Coilcraft LP3015 4.7µH/1.1A
Diode Selection
Use a Schottkey diode as shown in Figure 1. A 20V diode
such as the NSR0520V2T1G from On Semiconductor is rec-
ommended. The NSR0520V2T1G is designed to handle a
maximum average current of 500mA.
PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES
Minimize trace impedance of the power, ground and all output
traces for optimum performance. Voltage loss due to trace
resistance between the LM48580 and the load results in de-
creased output power and efficiency. Trace resistance be-
tween the power supply and ground has the same effect as a
poorly regulated supply, increased ripple and reduced peak
output power. Use wide traces for power supply inputs and
amplifier outputs to minimize losses due to trace resistance,
as well as route heat away from the device. Proper grounding
improves audio performance, minimizes crosstalk between
channels and prevents switching noise from interfering with
the audio signal. Use of power and ground planes is recom-
mended.
Place all digital components and route digital signal traces as
far as possible from analog components and traces. Do not
run digital and analog traces in parallel on the same PCB lay-
er. If digital and analog signal lines must cross either over or
under each other, ensure that they cross in a perpendicular
fashion.
