[AK4372]
< External Circuit of Headphone-Amp >
The cut-off frequency of the headphone-amp output depends on the external resistor and capacitor used. Table 23 shows
the cut off frequency and the output power for various resistor/capacitor combinations. The headphone impedance RL is
16Ω. Output powers are shown at AVDD = 2.4, 3.0 and 3.3V. The output voltage of the headphone-amp is 0.48 x AVDD
(Vpp) @−3dBFS.

When PMVCM=PMHPL=PMHPR bits = “0” and HPZ bit = “1”, Headphone-amp is powered-down and HPL/R pins are
pulled-down to VSS1 by 200kΩ (typ). In this setting, it is able to connect headphone-amp of AK4372 and external single
supply headphone-amp by “wired OR”.
