General Description
The MAX9875 combines a high-efficiency Class D
audio power amplifier with a stereo Class AB capacitorless DirectDrive
®
headphone amplifier. Maxim’s 3rd
generation, filterless Class D amplifier with active emissions limiting technology provides Class AB performance with Class D efficiency.
The MAX9875 delivers up to 725mW from a 3.7V supply
into an 8Ω load with 87% efficiency to extend battery life.
The filterless modulation scheme combined with active
emissions limiting circuitry and spread-spectrum modulation greatly reduces EMI while eliminating the need for
output filtering used in traditional Class D devices.
The stereo Class AB headphone amplifier in the
MAX9875 uses Maxim’s DirectDrive architecture, that
produces a ground-referenced output from a single supply, eliminating the need for large DC-blocking capacitors, saving cost, space, and component height.
The device utilizes a user-defined input architecture,
three preamplifier gain settings, an input mixer, volume
control, comprehensive click-and-pop suppression, and
I
2
C control.
The MAX9875 is available in a thermally efficient,
space-saving 20-bump WLP package.
