The SSM2932 is a stereo headphone amplifier capable of
delivering 50 mW of continuous output power per channel
into 16 Ω single-ended loads at the 1% THD + N threshold.
The stereo headphone drivers are high efficiency, true ground-
referenced Class-G technology.
The SSM2932 incorporates a gain control pin that selects a gain
of 0 dB or 6 dB. The ground-referenced output scheme eliminates
the need for large dc blocking capacitors, reducing system cost
and board area. The Class-G amplifier is fine-tuned to maximize
battery life, a critical task in portable applications. The device
maximizes battery life by modulating the amplifier power supply
rail to match the output demand without consuming excessive
supply current, thus reducing power dissipation during typical
audio playback.
The SSM2932 is specified over the industrial temperature range
of −40°C to +85°C. It has output short-circuit protection as well
as ESD protection to 8 kV (human body model). The SSM2932
is available in a 16-ball, 1.64 mm × 1.64 mm wafer level chip
scale package (WLCSP).
