10.1.2. Output Lines
WARNING. When in Single Ended configuration, the unused output line must be left open: if
this constraint is not respected, the output stage will be damaged.

differential
TIP : We suggest driving the load differentially , thus the output swing will double and the need
for the big output coupling capacitor avoided. However if particular OEM application needs,
also a Single Ended (S.E) circuitry can be implemented but the output power will be reduced
four times.
The OEM circuitry shall be designed to reduce the common mode noise typically generated on
the ground plane,getting the maximum power output from the device (low resistance tracks).
