Description of External Parts

C1, C4 : Input capacitors
(4.7μF) Since the DC potential of the input pins is not 0, the two capacitors cannot be omitted. Decreasing
the capacitor value extremely causes the frequency response to lower at low frequencies.
C2, C3 : Feedback capacitors
(100μF) Decreasing the capacitor value causes the frequency response to lower at low frequencies.
Increasing the capacitor value makes the starting time later.
C5 : Ripple filter capacitor
(100μF/25V) Decreasing the capacitor value provides less ripple rejection. Decreasing the capacitor value also
makes the starting time earlier.
C6, C9 : Output capacitors
(1000μF/25V) Decreasing the capacitor value provides less power at low frequencies.
C7, C8 : Oscillation blocking capacitors
(0.1μF polyester Decreasing the capacitor value causes oscillation to be liable to occur. It is recommended to use
film capacitors) polyester film capacitors which are excellent in high frequency response, temperature
characteristic. The use of electrolytic capacitors or ceramic capacitors may cause oscillation to
occur at low temperatures.
C10 : Power capacitor
(470μF/35V) Decreasing the capacitor value causes ripple to be liable to occur. If the distance between the IC
and this capacitor is made long or this capacitor is removed, oscillation may occur.
R1, R2 : Resistors connected in series with oscillation blocking capacitors
(2.2Ω) Used to prevent phase shift attributable to the oscillation blocking capacitors so that oscillation is
hard to occur. Increasing or decreasing the resistor value causes oscillation to be liable to occur.
The optimum value must be used.

External Muting
1. Lowering of potential at ripple filter pin (pin 3).
Muting can be provided by discharging resistor R
connected across pin 3 and GND to lower the potential
at pin 3. Too small an R value causes pop noise to occur ;
and too large an R value causes muting to fail to work.
If no adequate R value is obtained, it is recommended
that the R value is made rather small and the C5 value
is increased.

No.1724-4/10
 LA4270
2. Application of positive bias to NF pins.
Muting can be provided by positive bias applied to
the NF pins. In this case, the R value must be determined
so that the potential at the NF pins (pins 1, 6) does not
exceed 3V at the muting mode.

Voltage Gain
The voltage gain is fixed to 40dB by the ratio of on-chip
resistors 30kΩ and 300Ω. It is impossible to use the IC at
a voltage gain greater than this. In an application where the
IC is used at a voltage gain of less than 40dB, resistors are
connected in series with feedback resistors as shown right.
In this application, however, oscillation is liable to occur. So,
the voltage gain must not be less than 30dB.

In this application, output capacitors must be used. Since the IC handles an apparent load of 4Ω, more distortion results,
making it impossible for the IC to deliver power at THD = 1% as in 2-channel use. It is possible for the IC to deliver
power at THD = 5% or 10%

Proper Cases in Using IC

• Maximum ratings : If the IC is used in the vicinity of the maximum ratings, even a slight variation in
conditions may cause the maximum ratings to be exceeded, thereby leading to
breakdown. Allow an ample margin of variation for supply voltage, etc. and use
the IC in the range where the maximum ratings are not exceeded.
• Pin-to-pin short : If power is applied when the space between pins is shorted, breakdown or
deterioration may occur. When mounting the IC on the board or applying power,
make sure that the space between pins is not shorted with solder, etc.
• When used in radio applications : When using in radios, allow a good distance between IC and bar antenna.
• Printed circuit pattern : When drawing the printed circuit pattern, make the power supply, output, and
ground lines thick and short and arrange the pattern and parts so that no feedback
loop is formed between input and output. Place power capacitor C10, oscillation
blocking capacitors C7, C8 as close to IC pins as possible to prevent oscillation
from occurring. Refer to the sample printed circuit pattern.

No.1724-9/10
 LA4270
Proper Cares Mounting Radiator Fin
1. The mounting torque is in the range of 39 to 59N·cm.
2. The distance between screw holes of the radiator fin must coincide with the distance between screw holes of the IC.
With case outline dimensions L and R referred to, the screws must be tight end with the distance between them as
close to each other as possible.

3. The screw to be used must have a head equivalent to the truss machine screw or binder machine screw defined by JIS.
Washers must be also used to protect the IC case.
4. No foreign matter such as cutting particles shall exist between heat sink and radiator fin. When applying grease on
the junction surface, it must be applied uniformly on the whole surface.
5. IC lead pins are soldered to the printed circuit board after the radiator fin is mounted on the IC.
