THAT 1646 and 1606 OutSmarts® Balanced Line Drivers use a dual feedback-loop design that prevents the excessive ground currents typical of cross-coupled output stages (CCOS) when clipping into single-ended loads. In the graphs below you can see the superior clipping behavior of OutSmarts technology versus our competitor’s line drivers.
