General Description
The MAX9725A–MAX9725D fixed-gain, stereo head-
phone amplifiers are ideal for portable equipment where
board space is at a premium. The MAX9725E offers the
flexibility to adjust the gain with external input and feed-
back resistors. The MAX9725A–MAX9725E use a unique
DirectDrive architecture to produce a ground-referenced
output from a single supply, eliminating the need for large
DC-blocking capacitors, saving cost, board space, and
component height. Fixed gains of -2V/V (MAX9725A),
-1.5V/V (MAX9725B), -1V/V (MAX9725C), and -4V/V
(MAX9725D) further reduce external component count.
The adjustable gain of the MAX9725E DirectDrive head-
phone amplifier allows for any gain down to -1V/V using
external resistors.
The MAX9725 delivers up to 20mW per channel into a
32Ω load and achieves 0.006% THD+N. An 80dB at 1kHz
power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR) allows the MAX9725
to operate from noisy digital supplies without an additional
linear regulator. The MAX9725 includes ±8kV ESD protec-
tion on the headphone output. Comprehensive click-and-
pop circuitry suppresses audible clicks and pops at
startup and shutdown. A low-power shutdown mode
reduces supply current to 0.6µA (typ).
The MAX9725 operates from a single 0.9V to 1.8V supply,
allowing the device to be powered directly from a single
AA or AAA battery. The MAX9725 consumes only
2.1mA of supply current, provides short-circuit protection,
and is specified over the extended -40°C to +85°C tem-
perature range. The MAX9725 is available in a tiny
(1.54mm x 2.02mm x 0.6mm) 12-bump chip-scale
package (UCSP™) and a 12-pin thin QFN package
(4mm x 4mm x 0.8mm).
