Tomu family of USB devices has recently introduced a small form factor board that is not only a single MCU or an FPGA, but a complete System-on-chip that fits easily inside a USB port. The tiny compact board called Qomu, is a capable USB device that integrates an EOS S3 low-power MCU and an eFPGA […]

Headphone Amplifier For DAC Converter


https://www.electronics-lab.com/project/headphone-amplifier-for-dac-converter/

This is a headphone amplifier project for audio digital-to-analog converters (DACs) with differential voltage outputs. This circuit converts the differential voltage output of the DAC to a single-ended, ground-referenced signal and provides the additional current necessary for low-impedance headphones. Project is built using OPA1688 low distortion, high-drive Sound Plus audio amplifier. The circuit tested with […]
