GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

The 

SSM2932

 is a stereo headphone amplifier capable of 

delivering 50 mW continuous output power per channel into 
16 Ω

 

single-ended loads at the 1% THD + N threshold. The 

stereo headphone drivers are highly efficient, true ground-
referenced Class-G technology. 
The 

SSM2932

 incorporates a gain control pin that selects 

between 0 dB and 6 dB. The ground-referenced output scheme 
eliminates the need for large dc-blocking capacitors, reducing 
system BOM 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 

(−40

°

C to +85

°

C). It has output short-circuit protection along 

with ESD protection to 8 kV using a human body model. It is 
available in 16-ball 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm wafer level chip scale 
package (WLCSP). 

EVALUATION BOARD OVERVIEW 

The 

SSM2932

 evaluation board carries a complete application 

circuit for driving a headphone. Figure 1 shows the top view of 
the evaluation board, and Figure 2 shows the bottom view.
