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.
