The following land pattern recommendations are provided as guidelines for board layout and assembly purposes.
These recommendations cover the following National Semiconductor packages: PLCC, PQFP, SOP, SSOP and TSOP.
For SOT-23 (5-Lead) and TO-263 (3- or 5-Lead) packages, refer to land patterns shown in the Physical Dimensions for MA05A and TS3B or TS5B packages, respectively.
It is important to note that thi
The recent increase in popularity of high-fidelity headphones and lossless audio formats has caused many manufacturers of personal electronics to add high-quality audio outputs to their devices. As a result, 24-bit/192-kHz audio digital-to-analog converters (DACs), once reserved for home highfidelity systems, are now being incorporated into mobile devices such as cell phones, tablets, and portable music players. These DACs deliver extremely low-distortion signals, but are unable to drive headphones directly. To take full advantage of these high-performance parts, a well-designed headphone amplifier must also be added to the system.
