PRODUCTION DATA.
The LM48511 features a Class D audio power amplifier that uses a filterless modulation scheme, reducing external component count, conserving board space and reducing system cost. The outputs of the device transition from PV1 to GND with a 300-kHz switching frequency. With no signal applied, the outputs (VLS+ and VLS-) switch with a 50% duty cycle, in phase, causing the two outputs to cancel. This cancellation results in no net voltage across the speaker, thus there is no current to the load in the idle state.
With the input signal applied, the duty cycle (pulse width) of the LM48511 outputs changes. For increasing output voltage, the duty cycle of VLS+ increases, while the duty cycle of VLS-decreases. For decreasing output voltages, the converse occurs. The difference between the two pulse widths yields the differential output voltage.
