Connect the I
C signal generation and interface board to a
computer's parallel port.
Install LM4985 control software: "LM4985_Software_ver1-
52."
Amplifier output mode:
For OCL (Output CapacitorLess) mode, place a jumper
across the pins of JP10 and JP11 and across pins 1 and 2 on
JP8.
For C-CUPL (Capacitor Coupled) mode, place a jumper
across pins 2 and 3 on JP8. Leave JP10 and JP11 open.
Apply a 2.3V to 5.0V power supply's positive voltage output
to the "+" pin on jumpers JP1 and JP2. Apply the power
supply's ground return to the "-" on JP1 and JP2.
Connect the supplied 5-wire cable between the I
generation and interface board and the 5-pin connector (JP7
and JP9) on the LM4985 demonstration board.

Apply a stereo audio signal to jumpers JP3 and JP5. Apply
the source's signal and ground to the "+" pin and the "-" pin,
respectively.
Connect a load (≥ 16Ω) to JP4 and another load to JP6.
JP4's "+" pin and JP6's "+" pin carries the output signals from
the two amplifiers found on pins OUT1 and OUT2, respec-
tively.
Apply power. Make measurements. Plug in a pair of head-
phones. Enjoy.
Introduction
To help the user investigate and evaluate the LM4985's
performance and capabilities, a fully populated demonstra-
tion board is available from the Audio Products Group. This
board is shown in Figure 1. Connected to an external power

    General Description Operating Conditions –40˚C ≤ T ≤ 85˚C • Temperature Range The LM4985 is a stereo headphone audio amplifier with an internal digitally controlled volume control. The LM4985 is 2.3V ≤ V ≤ 5.0V • Amplifier Power Supply Voltage optimized to operate over a power supply voltage range of 2.5V to 5.0V.
  • Page 3 This jumper is used to short the right channel output capacitor C6 when the OCL mode is selected through the I C digital interface. When the LM4985 is used in the C–CUPL mode, leave this jumper open. JP11 This jumper is used to short the left channel output capacitor C5 when the OCL mode is selected through the I C digital interface.
