Description
The TS4909 is a stereo audio amplifier designed
to drive headphones in portable applications.
The integrated phantom ground is a circuit
topology that eliminates the heavy output coupling
capacitors. This is of primary importance in
portable applications where space constraints are
very high. A single-ended configuration is also
available, offering even lower power consumption
because the phantom ground can be switched off.
Pop-and-click noise during switch-on and switch-
off phases is eliminated by integrated circuitry.
Specially designed for applications requiring low
power supplies, the TS4909 is capable of
delivering 31mW of continuous average power
into a 32Ω load with less than 1% THD+N from a
3V power supply.
Featuring an active low standby mode, the
TS4909 reduces the supply current to only 10nA
(typ.). The TS4909 is unity gain stable and can be
configured by external gain-setting resistors.
