The MAX9703/MAX9704 mono/stereo Class D audio
power amplifiers provide Class AB amplifier performance
with Class D efficiency, conserving board space and
eliminating the need for a bulky heatsink. Using a Class
D architecture, these devices deliver up to 15W while
offering up to 78% efficiency. Proprietary and patent-protected
modulation and switching schemes render the traditional
Class D output filter unnecessary.
The MAX9703/MAX9704 offer two modulation schemes:
a fixed-frequency mode (FFM), and a spread-spectrum
mode (SSM) that reduces EMI-radiated emissions due
to the modulation frequency. The device utilizes a fully
differential architecture, a full bridged output, and comprehensive
click-and-pop suppression.
The MAX9703/MAX9704 feature high 80dB PSRR, low
0.07% THD+N, and SNR in excess of 95dB. Short-circuit
and thermal-overload protection prevent the
devices from being damaged during a fault condition.
The MAX9703 is available in a 32-pin TQFN (5mm x
5mm x 0.8mm) package. The MAX9704 is available in a
32-pin TQFN (7mm x 7mm x 0.8mm) package. Both
devices are specified over the extended -40°C to
+85°C temperature range.
