LPA4890MSF

LOWPOWER · Audio Power OpAmps · MSOP-8

LPA4890MSF from LOWPOWER, in a MSOP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 SHUTDOWN input Active-low shutdown control. Driving this pin below ~0.4V places the device in ultra-low-current (0.1µA typ) shutdown mode; driving above ~1.4V enables normal operation. Compatible with 0.4V logic thresholds.
2 BYPASS passive Bypass capacitor pin providing the internal VDD/2 common-mode reference voltage. Connect a bypass capacitor (typically 0.2µF-4.7µF) from this pin to GND; larger capacitance improves PSRR and reduces pop noise.
3 +IN input Non-inverting (positive) audio input of the first amplifier. Receives the internal common-mode voltage (VDD/2) via the BYPASS reference; used for single-ended or differential input configuration.
4 -IN input Inverting (negative) audio input of the first amplifier. Receives the audio input signal via the input coupling capacitor and input resistor Rin, and connects to the feedback resistor Rf that sets closed-loop gain.
5 VO1 output Negative BTL output of the LPA4890. Connects to one terminal of the load speaker and to the feedback resistor Rf that closes the gain loop around the first amplifier.
6 VDD power_in Analog supply input, 2.5V to 5.5V operating range (6V absolute max). Bypass locally with a 1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor to GND. Quiescent current is 2.5mA typ at 5.5V.
7 GND power_in Ground return for all circuitry. Should be tied to a solid ground plane; keep the return path short and low-impedance for best THD+N and PSRR.
8 VO2 output Positive BTL output of the LPA4890. Connects to the other terminal of the load speaker, forming a bridge-tied-load together with VO1 (no output coupling capacitor required).

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
lpa4890msf.step 123 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
lpa4890msf-etched.step 2.1 MB You want the part with LPA4890MSF already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 529 faces against 147 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
