PRODUCTION DATA
In many automotive audio applications, the same head unit must drive either a speaker (with several Ω of impedance) or an external amplifier input (with several kilo Ω of impedance). The design is capable of supporting both applications and has special line driver gain and diagnostics. Coupled with the high switching frequency the device is well suited for this type of application. The line driver mode uses the same signal path as the normal speaker output mode with similar audio performance. Set the desired channel in line driver mode via the Mode Control Register and the desired gain via the Misc Control 2 Register. The external connected amplifier needs to have a differential impedance between 600 Ω and 4.7 kΩ for the DC line diagnostic to detect the connected external amplifier. Figure 8-1 shows the recommended external amplifier input configuration, balanced capacitor coupled.
