PCM5242: Difference between Recommended Operating Conditions and Electric Characteristics

Part Number: PCM5242

Hi team,

There are two similar values on the datasheet, those are stereo load output resistance 2kohm at Recommended Operating Conditions and load impedance 5kohm at Electric Characteristics.

What differences do these indicate?

Best regards,

Hideki

  • Hi Hayashi-san,

    My understanding is that this is an error.  The recommended minimum of 2kΩ should be listed as the minimum for both specifications, while the 5kΩ should be a recommended typical value.  In general, this device will have better performance with higher output impedance, but we do test the device with a 2kΩ load in some conditions.  I will notify our systems team of the mismatch.

    Thanks,

    Paul
