The MAX97220CETE+ is a differential input DirectDrive line drivers/headphone amplifier in 16 pin TQFN package. This device is capable of driving line level loads with 3VRMS into 1Kohm with a 5V supply and 2VRMS into 600 ohm loads from a 3.3V supply. A headphone load is capable of being driven with 125mW into 32ohm with a 5V supply. The IC is offered with an internally fixed 6dB gain. The external gain setting nodes can also be used to configure filters for set-top box applications. The IC has exceptional THD+N over the full audio bandwidth. It is used for headphone applications feature a tON of 5.5ms. An on-chip charge pump inverts the power supply input, creating a negative rail. The output stage of the amplifier is powered between the positive input supply and the output of the charge pump. The bipolar supplies bias the output about ground, eliminating the need for large, distortion-introducing output coupling capacitors.
