DESCRIPTION
The LM3886 is a high-performance audio power
amplifier capable of delivering 68W of continuous
average power to a 4Ω load and 38W into 8Ω with
0.1% THD+N from 20Hz–20kHz.
The performance of the LM3886, utilizing its Self
Peak Instantaneous Temperature (°Ke) (SPiKe)
protection circuitry, puts it in a class above discrete
and hybrid amplifiers by providing an inherently,
dynamically protected Safe Operating Area (SOA).
SPiKe
protection means that these parts are
completely safeguarded at the output against
overvoltage, undervoltage, overloads, including shorts
to the supplies, thermal runaway, and instantaneous
temperature peaks.
The LM3886 maintains an excellent signal-to-noise
ratio of greater than 92dB with a typical low noise
floor of 2.0µV. It exhibits extremely low THD+N
values of 0.03% at the rated output into the rated
load over the audio spectrum, and provides excellent
linearity with an IMD (SMPTE) typical rating of
0.004%.
