Headphone amplifier
The operators A2 and A3 are organized in a push-pull configuration with a gain of 5. The stereo
inputs can be connected to a CD-player and the TS925 can directly drive the head-phone
speakers. This configuration shows the ability of the circuit to drive 32Ω load with a maximum
output swing and high fidelity suitable for sound and music.
Figure 19 shows the available signal swing at the headset outputs: two other rail-to-rail
competitor parts are employed in the same circuit for comparison (note the much reduced
clipping level and crossover distortion).
