Balls are underneath
amplitude of the audio signal to supply the
headsets. It achieves a total 2.1 mA current
consumption at 100 µW output power (10 dB
crest factor).
THD+N is 0.02 % maximum at 1 kHz and PSRR
is 100 dB at 217 Hz, which ensures a high audio
quality of the device in a wide range of
environments.
The traditionally bulky output coupling capacitors
can be removed.
A dedicated common-mode sense pin removes
parasitic ground noise.
The TS4621ML is designed to be used with an
output serial resistor. It ensures unconditional
stability over a wide range of capacitive loads.
The TS4621ML is packaged in a tiny 16-bump
flip-chip package with a pitch of 400 µm.

Description
The TS4621ML is a class-G stereo headphone
driver dedicated to high-performance audio, high-
power efficiency and space-constrained
applications.
It is based on the core technology of a low power
dissipation amplifier combined with a high-
efficiency step-down DC/DC converter for
supplying this amplifier.
When powered by a battery, the internal step-
down DC/DC converter generates the appropriate
voltage to the amplifier depending on the

1. All voltage values are measured with respect to the ground pin.
2. Thermal shutdown is activated when maximum junction temperature is reached.
3. The device is protected from overtemperature by a thermal shutdown mechanism, active at 150° C.
4. Exceeding the power derating curves for long periods may provoke abnormal operation.
5. Human body model: a 100 pF capacitor is charged to the specified voltage, then discharged through a
1.5 kΩ resistor between two pins of the device. This is done for all couples of connected pin combinations
while the other pins are floating.
6. Machine model: a 200 pF capacitor is charged to the specified voltage, then discharged directly between
two pins of the device with no external series resistor (internal resistor < 5
Ω).
This is done for all couples of
connected pin combinations while the other pins are floating.
7. The measurement is performed on an evaluation board, with ESD protection EMIF02-AV01F3.
