General Description

The APA2180 is a stereo, fixed gain, single supply, and cap-free headphone driver, which is available in a WLCSP1.6x1.6-12and TDFN3x3-12 packages.

The APA2180 is ground-reference output and don’t 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.
