The SSM2142 is an integrated differential-output buffer
amplifier that converts a single-ended input signal to a balanced
output signal pair with high output drive. By utilizing low noise
thermally matched thin film resistors and high slew rate
amplifiers, the SSM2142 helps maintain the sonic quality of
audio systems by eliminating power line hum, RF interference,
voltage drops, and other externally generated noise commonly
encountered with long audio cable runs. Excellent rejection of
common-mode noise and offset errors is achieved by laser
trimming of the onboard resistors, assuring high gain accuracy.
The carefully designed output stage of the SSM2142 is capable
of driving difficult loads, yielding low distortion performance
despite extremely long cables or loads as low as 600 W, and is
stable over a wide range of operating conditions.
