PCM1690-Q1: external circuit needed to connect PCM1690 to TPA6130A2

Part Number: PCM1690-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PCM1690, TPA6130A2,

Hi,

I am looking to connect the PCM1690 to 4 headphone amplifiers and have selected out the TPA6130A2. However I am concerned that the output voltage of the PCM1690 is too high for the TPA6130A2. Can you confirm whether I need any external circuitry apart from DC blocking capacitors?

Thanks

Tom

  • Hi, Thomas,

    Your comment about the input level limitation is correct, the TPA6130A2 could have the risk of damage by the PCM1690-Q1 output level. The output level can reach the absolute maximum voltage of the TPA6130A2. 

    So, you would need to have additional pre amplifier stage or select a different DAC device with a lower line level.

    Please let me know if you have additional questions or comments.

    Best regards,
