120W MOSFET Power Amplifier with LM4702 Driver Chip.


National Semiconductor has been fast at work designing analog products for the high-end audiophile market. As for­tune would have it, these products such as the LM4780 Power Amplifier Chip and the LM4702 Driver Chip are easy to implement into high-quality designs for the audio DIYer.

National recently introduced the LM4702, a high-voltage driver chip that interfaces bipolar or MOSFET output devices. The LM4702 provides two small signal, input stages and voltage amplifica­tion stages (VAS). All you need to do is design a suitable bias system and output stage.

Not to be outdone in making the job easy for us amateurs, National provides a comprehensive design outline, guide to printed circuit board construction, ideas for the power supply, bill of materials, and suggested layout. In an application note dated May 20061, the company de­scribed an amplifier using high-qual­ity construction techniques and off-the-shelf passive components. The result is an amplifier with a vanishingly low level of distortion, 0.0006%. See More...
