General Description
The MAX98400A/MAX98400B Class D amplifiers provide
high-performance, thermally efficient amplifier solutions. The
MAX98400A delivers 2x20W into 8I loads or 1x40W into a
4I load. The MAX98400B delivers 2x12W into 8I loads.
An integrated limiting circuit prevents output clipping
distortion, protects small speakers from transient voltages, and reduces power dissipation.
A thermal-foldback feature can be enabled to automatically reduce the output power at above a junction temperature of +120N C. Traditional thermal protection is also
available in addition to robust overcurrent protection.
The ICs operate from a single 8V to 28V supply and
provide a high 67dB PSRR, eliminating the need for a
regulated power supply. They offer up to 90% efficiency
from a 12V supply.
Filterless modulation allows the ICs to pass EN55022B
EMI limits with 1m cables using only a low-cost ferrite
bead and small-value capacitor on each output.
Both devices feature eight digitally controlled gain settings.
Comprehensive click-and-pop reduction circuitry minimizes noise coming into and out of shutdown.
The MAX98400A/MAX98400B are available in 36-pin
and 24-pin TQFN packages, respectively, and are specified over the -40N C to +85N C temperature range.

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
