Maxim's DirectDrive II Headphone Amplifier Extends Audio Playback Time in Portable Devices
Maxim introduced the MAX97200, a dual-mode Class H headphone amplifier designed for battery-operated portable devices. This amplifier uses Maxim's proprietary DirectDrive(R) II technology to implement an extremely efficient Class H topology. Nearly 100% more efficient than Class AB amplifiers, the MAX97200 substantially extends audio playback time. Additionally, its glitch-free switching architecture and clickless/popless performance provide end...
Class-G headphone amplifiers from Texas Instruments
Users of music phones and MP3 players can benefit from dramatically extended music playback time enabled by two new 25-mW Class-G, DirectPath stereo headphone amplifiers from Texas Instruments, which adjust their voltage supplies to the audio signal to minimize power dissipation. In a standalone Lithium-Ion battery test between TI’s Class-G technology and a competing ground-referenced Class-AB device, the TPA6140A2 and TPA6141A2 reduced pow...
Avago's Miniature Broadband Fully Matched Low-Noise Amplifier MMIC
Avago Technologies has announced the latest addition to its family of low-cost, easy to use, high performance Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) low noise amplifier MMIC products for use in a wide range of wireless mobile communications applications. Avago’s new miniature MGA-21108, which measures 2.5 by 2.5 by 0.55mm in an 8-pin STSLP package, is a fully integrated GaAs LNA for use in the 1.5 to 8 GHz band.
