MAX98309/MAX98310
Mono 1.4W Class AB Audio Amplifiers
General Description
The MAX98309/MAX98310 mono 1.4W class AB audio
amplifiers offer low quiescent current while maintaining
excellent SNR and low 0.008% THD+N. These ICs feature excellent 90dB PSRR and state of the art click-andpop suppression.
The ICs are offered with an internally fixed 0dB, 3dB,
6dB, and 9dB gain (MAX98310) or an externally set gain
(MAX98309) through external resistors.
The MAX98309 feature a 10ms or 100ms pin-selectable
turn-on time, while the MAX98310 has a preset 5ms turnon time.
The MAX98309/MAX98310 are available in a (1.0mm x
1.0mm) 9-bump, 0.3mm pitch WLP, and are specified over
the extended -40N C to +85N C temperature range.
