Active: In Production.

Description

The MAX9708 mono/stereo, Class D audio power amplifier delivers up to 2 x 21W into an 8Ω stereo mode and 1 x 42W into a 4Ω load in mono mode while offering up to 87% efficiency. The MAX9708 provides Class AB amplifier performance with the benefits of Class D efficiency, eliminating the need for a bulky heatsink and conserving power. The MAX9708 operates from a single +10V to +18V supply, driving the load in a BTL configuration.

The MAX9708 offers two modulation schemes: a fixed-frequency modulation (FFM) mode, and a spread-spectrum modulation (SSM) mode that reduces EMI-radiated emissions. The MAX9708 can be synchronized to an external clock from 600kHz to 1.2MHz. A synchronized output allows multiple units to be cascaded in the system.

Features include fully differential inputs, comprehensive click-and-pop suppression, and four selectable-gain settings (22dB, 25dB, 29.5dB, and 36dB). A pin-programmable thermal flag provides seven different thermal warning thresholds. Short-circuit and thermal-overload protection prevent the device from being damaged during a fault condition.

The MAX9708 is available in 56-pin TQFN (8mm x 8mm x 0.8mm) and 64-pin TQFP (10mm x 10mm x 1.4mm) packages, and is specified over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
