DESCRIPTION
The TPA6138A2 is a pop-free stereo headphone
amplifier designed to allow the removal of the output
dc-blocking capacitors for reduced component count
and cost. The device is ideal for single-supply
electronics where size and cost are critical design
parameters.
Designed using TI’s patented DirectPath™
technology, The TPA6138A2 is capable of driving 25
mW into a 32-Ω load with 3.3-V supply voltage. The
device has differential inputs and uses external
gain-setting resistors that supports a gain range of ±1
V/V to ±10 V/V. Gain can be configured individually
for each channel. The device can also be configured
as a second-order low-pass filter and is ideal for
interfacing with PWM audio sources. Audio output
compiles with ±8-kV IEC ESD protection, requiring
just a simple resistor-capacitor ESD protection circuit.
The TPA6138A2 has built-in active-mute control for
pop-free audio on/off control. The TPA6138A2 has an
external undervoltage detector that mutes the output
when the power supply is removed, ensuring a
pop-free shutdown.
Using the TPA6138A2 in audio products can reduce
component count considerably compared to
traditional headphone amplifiers. The TPA6138A2
does not require a split-rail power supply or a dc
blocking capacitor. The TPA6138A2 integrates its
own charge pump to generate a negative supply rail
that provides a clean, pop-free ground-biased audio
signal.
The TPA6138A2 is available in a 14-pin TSSOP.
