Key Document

Description

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.

Features
  • Low power consumption (1.6mA/Ch) to maximize battery life
  • Extremely small solution size for space-constrained designs
  • >50mW output power (32Ω), suitable for a range of headphones
  • -106.7dB THD+N (1kHz, 10mW, 32Ω) for exceptional audio quality
  • 31mΩ output impedance
  • Stable into most headphones without series resistance
