This is a 2Vrms Pop-Free stereo line driver with a stereo headphone driver designed to allow the removal of the output DC-blocking capacitors for reduced component count and cost. The project is based on the DRV604 chip which is ideal for single supply electronics where size and cost are critical design parameters. The project is capable of driving 2Vrms into a 5kΩ load and a clean 40mW into a 32Ω headphone with a single 3.3V supply voltage. Line and headphone outputs have ±8kV IEC ESD protection. The device has built-in shutdown control for pop-free on/off control. The DRV604 does not require a power supply greater than 3.3V to generate its 5.6Vpp output, nor does it require a split rail power supply. The DRV604 integrates its charge pump to generate a negative supply rail that provides a clean, pop-free ground biased 2Vrms output. This project is configured with single-ended header input connectors for analog input, headphones, and line output. The power supply is connected via a four-pin 2.54mm pin header.

Dual Stereo Line Driver
The Headphone stereo amplifier can also be used as Line Driver and has the same high output voltage capability as the Line amp when driving 5kΩ load impedances.
On/Off Sequence
For minimum click and pop during power on and power off, the DRV604 Enable inputs, pin 5 and pin 10, should be kept low.
Pop-Free Power Up
Pop-free power up is ensured by keeping the EN_LD and EN_HP and/or Ex_UVP low during power supply ramp up and down. The pins should be kept low until the input AC-coupling capacitors are fully charged before asserting the EN_xx pins high, this way proper pre-charge of the ac-coupling is performed and pop-less power-up is achieved.
