General Description

The APA2177 is a stereo, fixed gain, single supply, and cap-free headphone driver, which is available in a WLCSP- 16 packages.

The APA2177 is ground-reference output, and no need the output capacitors for DC blocking. The advantages of eliminating the output capacitor are saving the cost, eliminating component height, and improving the low frequency response.
