General Description
The MAX9770 combines a mono, filterless, Class D
speaker amplifier and stereo DirectDrive headphone
amplifiers in a single device. The MAX9770 operates
from a single 2.5V to 5.5V supply and includes features
that reduce external component count, system cost,
board space, and offer improved audio reproduction.
The speaker amplifier makes use of Maxim’s patented
Class D architecture, providing Class AB performance
with Class D efficiency, conserving board space, and
extending battery life. The speaker amplifier delivers
1.2W into an 8
Ω load while offering efficiencies above
85%. A spread-spectrum scheme reduces radiated
emissions caused by the modulation frequency.
Furthermore, the MAX9770 oscillator can be synchro-
nized to an external clock through the SYNC input,
avoiding possible problem frequencies inside a system.
The speaker amplifier features a low 0.025% THD+N,
high 70dB PSRR, and SNR in excess of 90dB.
The headphone amplifiers feature Maxim’s patented
DirectDrive architecture that produces a ground-refer-
enced output from a single supply, eliminating the need
for large DC-blocking capacitors. The headphone ampli-
fiers deliver up to 80mW into a 16
Ω load, feature low
0.015% THD+N, high 80dB PSRR, and
±8kV ESD-pro-
tected outputs. A headphone sense input detects the
presence of a headphone, and automatically configures
the amplifiers for either speaker or headphone mode.
The MAX9770 includes internally set, logic-selectable
gain, and a comprehensive input multiplexer/mixer, allow-
ing multiple audio sources to be selected and for true
mono reproduction of a stereo source in speaker mode.
Industry-leading click-and-pop suppression eliminates
audible transients during power and shutdown cycles. A
low-power shutdown mode decreases supply current
consumption to 0.1µA, further extending battery life.
The MAX9770 is offered in space-saving, thermally effi-
cient 28-pin TQFN (5mm x 5mm x 0.8mm) and 28-pin
TSSOP packages. The MAX9770 features thermal-over-
load and output short-circuit protection, and is specified
over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
