MAXIM公司的MAX13325是一款可靠差分接口的汽车级双路音频驱动器器件，该器件具有差分输入及输出、集成输出诊断功能、采用IIC接口或独立模式控制。输出诊断功能包含短路到地、短路到电池、过流、过温和过度补偿。输出端可驱动4nF对地负载，差分输出可驱动3nF负载。该芯片满足IEC 61000-4-2标准。本文首先介绍芯片的简介、特性、内部框图及应用领域，并给出相应设计方案的设计原理图、元器件列表及PCB元件布局图。
The MAX13325/MAX13326 dual audio line drivers provide a reliable differential interface between automotive audio components. The devices feature differential inputs and outputs, integrated output diagnostics, and are controlled using an I2C interface or operate in stand-alone mode. The outputs can deliver up to 4VRMS into 100I loads.
The MAX13325 buffers analog audio signals for transmission over long cable distances with a fixed gain of 12dB, whereas the MAX13326 provides a 0dB fixed gain. The diagnostics on the outputs report conditions on a per channel basis, including short to GND, short to battery, overcurrent, overtemperature, and excessive offset. The output amplifiers can drive capacitive loads up to 4nF to ground and 3nF differentially.
The outputs are protected according to IEC 61000-4-2 Q8kV Contact Discharge, and Q15kV Air Gap. The MAX13325/MAX13326 are specified from -40NC to +105NC and are available in a 28-pin TSSOP package with an exposed pad.
