MAX97220 DirectDrive® Driver/Headphone Amplifier Analog Devices MAX97220 Differential Input DirectDrive® Line Driver / Headphone Amplifier is capable of driving line-level loads with 3VRMS into 1kΩ with a 5V supply and 2VRMS into 600Ω loads from a 3.3V supply. A headphone load is capable of being driven with 125mW into 32Ω with a 5V supply. Analog Devices MAX97220 DirectDrive Driver/Headphone Amplifier is offered with an internally fixed 6dB gain or an externally set gain through external resistors. 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.
