This reference design details a high-fidelity headphone amplifier circuit suitable for portable applications, such as smartphones and tablets. It uses an operational amplifier (op amp) with low power consumption and a very small package to convert a differential output voltage to a single-ended signal suitable for headphones. The design achieves -110.2dB THD+N at >50mW of output power into 32Ω headphones.
A fully assembled board has been developed for testing and performance validation only, and is not available for sale.
