Rainbow Electronics MAX9792 - Manual

General Description
The MAX9791 combines a stereo 2W Class D power
amplifier, a stereo 180mW DirectDrive
® headphone
amplifier, and a 120mA low-dropout (LDO) linear regu-
lator in a single device. The MAX9792 combines a
mono 3W Class D power amplifier, a stereo 180mW
DirectDrive headphone amplifier, and a 120mA LDO
linear regulator in a single device.
The MAX9791/MAX9792 feature Maxim’s patented**
DirectDrive headphone amplifier architecture that pro-
duces a ground-referenced output from a single supply,
eliminating the need for large DC-blocking capacitors,
saving cost, board space, and component height. High
107dB DC PSRR and low 0.006% THD+N ensure clean,
low-distortion amplification of the audio signal.
The ground sense feature senses and corrects for the
voltage difference between the output jack ground and
device signal ground. This feature minimizes head-
phone amplifier crosstalk by sensing the impedance in
the ground return trace and correcting for it at the out-
put jack. This feature also minimizes ground-loop noise
when the output socket is used as a line out connection
to other grounded equipment (for example, a PC con-
nected to a home hi-fi system).
The MAX9791/MAX9792 feature low RF susceptibility,
allowing the amplifiers to successfully operate in close
proximity to wireless applications. The MAX9791/
MAX9792 Class D amplifiers feature Maxim’s patented
†
spread-spectrum modulation and patented †† active
emissions limiting circuitry. Industry-leading click-and-
pop suppression eliminates audible transients during
power-up and shutdown cycles.
The MAX9791/MAX9792 wake-on-beep feature wakes
up the speaker and headphone amplifiers when a qual-
ified beep signal is detected at the BEEP input.
For maximum flexibility, separate speaker and head-
phone amplifier control inputs provide independent
shutdown of the speaker and headphone amplifiers.
Additionally the LDO can be enabled independently of
the audio amplifiers.
The MAX9791/MAX9792 feature thermal-overload and
output short-circuit protection. The devices are avail-
able in 28-pin TQFN packages and are specified over
the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.
