MAXIM MAX9890 Technical data

General Description

The MAX9890 provides click-and-pop suppression for
devices such as CODECs with integrated headphone
amplifiers that lack a clickless/popless startup/power­up or shutdown/power-down. The device controls the
ramping of the DC bias voltage on the output-coupling
capacitors and the application of the audio signal to
ensure that no audible transients are present at the
headphones. The MAX9890A features a 200ms startup
time for use with up to 100µF coupling capacitors. The
MAX9890B features a 330ms startup time for use with
greater than 100µF coupling capacitors.

The MAX9890 consumes 14µA of supply current and

0.001µA in shutdown, while contributing less than

0.003% THD+N into a 32Ω load. ESD (Human Body
Model) protection circuitry on the outputs protect the
MAX9890 and devices further up the signal chain from
ESD strikes up to ±8kV.

The MAX9890 is available in a miniature (1.5mm ✕

1.5mm ✕ 0.6mm) 9-bump chip-scale package (UCSP™),
as well as an 8-pin TDFN package (3mm ✕ 3mm ✕

0.8mm), and is specified for operation over the

-40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS

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 3: Supply voltage level where the device enters its power-down cycle.
Note 4: Turn-on time is measured from the time V
