General Description
The MAX9724C/MAX9724D stereo headphone ampli-
fiers are designed for portable equipment where board
space is at a premium. These devices use a unique,
DirectDrive
®
architecture to produce a ground-refer-
enced output from a single supply, eliminating the need
for large DC-blocking capacitors, saving cost, board
space, and component height. The MAX9724 sup-
presses RF radiation received by input and supply
traces acting as antennas and prevents the amplifier
from demodulating the coupled noise. The MAX9724C
offers an externally adjustable gain while the
MAX9724D has an internally preset gain of -1.5V/V. The
MAX9724C/MAX9724D deliver up to 60mW per channel
into a 32Ω load and have low 0.02% THD+N. An 80dB
at 1kHz power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR) allows
these devices to operate from noisy digital supplies
without an additional linear regulator. Comprehensive
click-and-pop circuitry suppresses audible clicks and
pops on startup and shutdown.
The MAX9724C/MAX9724D operate from a single 2.5V
to 5.5V supply, consume only 3.5mA of supply current,
feature short-circuit and thermal-overload protection,
and are specified over the extended -40°C to +85°C
temperature range. The devices are available in tiny
12-bump UCSP™ (1.5mm x 2mm) and 12-pin thin QFN
(3mm x 3mm x 0.8mm) packages.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 3: All specifications are 100% tested at T
A
= +25°C; temperature limits are guaranteed by design.
Note 4: The amplifier inputs are AC-coupled to GND.
Note 5: Gain for the MAX9724C is adjustable.
Note 6: Measurement bandwidth is 22Hz to 22kHz.
Note 7: Test performed with a 32Ω resistive load connected to GND. Mode transitions are controlled by SHDN. K
CP
level is calculated
as 20log[(peak voltage during mode transition, no input signal)/(peak voltage under normal operation at rated power level)].
Units are expressed in dB.
