THD+N vs. Amplitude
For all
THD+N vs Amplitude
measurements, the output amplitude was swept from 10 mV
RMS
to 3 V
RMS
at a
frequency of 1 kHz. The measurement bandwidth of the
Audio Precision
was set to 22 kHz. Note that
driving low impedance loads from power supply voltages larger than ±5 V may cause the output of the
INA1620 to clip at a lower output amplitude than what is shown in the measurements because the
increased power dissipation in the amplifier will trigger the thermal protection circuitry. See the
Application and Implementation
section for information on calculating power dissipation.
