General Description
The MAX9710/MAX9711 are stereo/mono 3W bridge-tied
load (BTL) audio power amplifiers. These devices are
PC99/01 compliant, operate from a single 4.5V to 5.5V
supply, and feature an industry-leading 100dB PSRR,
which allows these devices to operate from noisy supplies without additional, costly power-supply conditioning. An ultra-low 0.005% THD+N ensures clean,
low-distortion amplification of the audio signal while
click-and-pop suppression eliminates audible transients
on power and shutdown cycles. Power-saving features
include low 2mV VOS(minimizing DC current drain
through the speakers), low 7mA supply current, and a
0.5µA shutdown mode. A MUTE function allows the outputs to be quickly enabled or disabled.
These devices include thermal overload protection, are
specified over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range, and are supplied in thermally efficient packages. The MAX9710 is available in a 20-pin thin QFN
package (5mm
✕ 5mm ✕ 0.8mm). The MAX9711 is
available in a 12-pin thin QFN package (4mm
✕ 4mm ✕
0.8mm).

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 1: All devices are 100% production tested at +25°C. All temperature limits are guaranteed by design.
