Description

The MAX9701 stereo Class D audio power amplifier provides Class AB amplifier audio performance with the benefits of Class D efficiency, eliminating the need for a heatsink while extending battery life. The MAX9701 delivers up to 1.3W per channel into an 8Ω load while offering 87% efficiency. Maxim's next-generation, low-EMI modulation scheme allows the amplifier to operate without an external LC filter while still meeting FCC EMI emission levels.

The MAX9701 offers two modulation schemes: a fixed-frequency (FFM) mode, and a spread-spectrum (SSM) mode that reduces EMI-radiated emissions. The MAX9701 oscillator can be synchronized to an external clock through the SYNC input, allowing synchronization of multiple Maxim Class D amplifiers. The sync output (SYNC_OUT) can be used for a master-slave application where more channels are required. The MAX9701 features a fully differential architecture, a full bridge-tied load (BTL) output, and comprehensive click-and-pop suppression. The device features internally set gains of 0dB, 6dB, 12dB, and 18dB selected through two gain-select inputs, further reducing external component count.

The MAX9701 features high 80dB PSRR, less than 0.1% THD+N, and SNR in excess of 88dB. Short-circuit and thermal-overload protection prevent the device from being damaged during a fault condition. The MAX9701 is available in 24-pin thin QFN-EP (4mm x 4mm x 0.8mm) and 20-bump UCSP™ (2mm x 2.5mm x 0.6mm) packages. The MAX9701 is specified over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
