General Description
The MAX9796 combines a high-efficiency Class D, mono
audio power amplifier with a mono DirectDrive™ receiver
amplifier and a stereo DirectDrive headphone amplifier.
Maxim’s 3rd-generation, ultra-low EMI, Class D audio
power amplifiers provide Class AB performance with
Class D efficiency. The MAX9796 delivers 2.3W into a 4Ω
load from a 5V supply and offers efficiencies up to 80%.
Active emissions limiting circuitry and spread-spectrum
modulation greatly reduce EMI, eliminating the need for
output filtering found in traditional Class D devices.
The MAX9796 features a fully differential architecture, a
full-bridged output, and comprehensive click-and-pop
suppression. The device utilizes a flexible, user-defined
mixer architecture that includes an input mixer, volume
control, and output mixer. All controls are done through
an I
2
C interface.
The mono receiver amplifier and stereo headphone
amplifier use Maxim’s DirectDrive architecture, that pro-
duces a ground-referenced output from a single supply,
eliminating the need for large DC-blocking capacitors,
saving cost, space, and component height.
The MAX9796 is available in a 36-bump UCSP™ (3mm
x 3mm) package and is specified over the extended
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.
