HD audio codec is first to combine Class-G headphone and DDX Class-D speaker amps

Designed for ultra low power consumption, the 92HD95B HD audio codec is offered as the first to integrate a class-G headphone amplifier and DDX class-D speaker amplifier. In addition, the company claims that this codec also meets the stringent requirements of Windows 8’s low-power runtime D3 standby mode, extending battery life in next-generation notebooks and tablets.

The audio codec is a four-channel device (two stereo DACs, two stereo ADCs) with 24-bit resolution. The class-G headphone amp can reduce power consumption by up to 50% versus current-generation class-AB headphone amps, while the DDX speaker amp can reduce power by up to 70% versus standard class-D solutions. Housing is available in a 5×5 mm 40-pin QFN packages.(Contact company for pricing samples to qualified customers)
