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 4V
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.

Note 1: Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-
layer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
