resistors. Characterized by low differential-mode output
impedance (50Ω) and high common-mode output imped-
ance (1.6kΩ), the DRV134 is ideal for audio applications.
Normally, +VO is connected to +Sense, –VO is connected to
–Sense, and the outputs are taken from these junctions as
shown in Figure 1. For applications with large dc cable
offset errors, a 10µF electrolytic nonpolarized blocking
capacitor at each sense pin is recommended as shown in
Figure 2.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The DRV134 (and DRV135 in SO-8 package) converts a
single-ended, ground-referenced input to a floating differ-
ential output with +6dB gain (G = 2). Figure 1 shows the
basic connections required for operation. Decoupling ca-
pacitors placed close to the device pins are strongly recom-
mended in applications with noisy or high impedance power
supplies.
The DRV134 consists of an input inverter driving a cross-
coupled differential output stage with 50Ω series output
