Introduction
To help the user investigate and evaluate the LM48821's per-
formance and capabilities, a fully populated demonstration
board is available from the National Semiconductor
Corporation's Audio Products Group. This board is shown in
Figure 1. Connected to an external power supply (2.0V to
4.0V), a signal source and an I
the LM48821 demonstration board easily demonstrate the
amplifier's features.
