TPA6138A2PW Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Texas Instruments TPA6138A2PW is a DirectPath Technology based headphone driver IC designed for pop-free stereo audio applications. It offers adjustable gain functionality and features a built-in active-mute control for seamless audio on/off transitions. An under-voltage detector ensures a pop-free output shutdown when the power supply is removed.

 

This amplifier is designed to eliminate the need for output DC-blocking capacitors, significantly reducing component count and production costs. It can drive a 32-Ohm load from a 3.3V supply voltage, delivering up to 40mW of power with low THD+N of less than 0.01% at 10mW into 32 Ohms. The load impedance can range from a minimum of 16 Ohms to a nominal 32 Ohms.

 

The TPA6138A2PW integrates a charge pump to generate a negative supply rail, enabling pop-free, ground-biased audio signals without requiring a split-rail power supply. The gain can be individually set using an external resistor. The audio output complies with ±8-kV IEC ESD protection, requiring only a simple resistor-capacitor ESD protection circuit for interfacing with PWM-based audio sources.

 

This headphone driver operates within a supply voltage range of 3V to 3.6V, with a nominal voltage of 3.3V. Its design considerations include reducing component count and BOM cost, making it suitable for various portable audio devices.
