Abstract

A 60mW 111dB DR Class-G Stereo Headphone Driver is described. The driver utilizes higher-order loop filter to achieve PSRR of 120dB at the GSM TDMA rate of 217Hz. A driver architecture that combines Class-G and a split Class-AB/B amplifier reduces the quiescent current to 1.15mA/channel. A dual-voltage charge-pump with a single flying capacitor enables Class-G operation by adjusting the supply rails as a function of the input signal. The driver supports battery range of 2.65V-4.5V and occupies an area of 2.3mm² in 0.18μm CMOS technology.
