General Description
The MAX9777/MAX9778 combine a stereo 3W bridgetied load (BTL) audio power amplifier, stereo singleended (SE) headphone amplifier, headphone sensing,
and a 2:1 input multiplexer all in a tiny 28-pin thin QFN
package. These devices operate from a single 4.5V to
5.5V supply and feature an industry-leading 100dB
PSRR, allowing these devices to operate from noisy
supplies without the addition of a linear regulator. An
ultra-low 0.002% THD+N ensures clean, low-distortion
amplification of the audio signal. Click-and-pop suppression minimizes audible transients on power and
shutdown cycles. Power-saving features include low
4mV V
OS
(minimizes DC current drain through the
speakers), low 13mA supply current, and a 10µA shutdown mode. A MUTE function allows the outputs to be
quickly enabled or disabled.
A headphone sense input detects the presence of a
headphone jack and automatically configures the
amplifiers for either speaker or headphone mode. In
speaker mode, the amplifiers can deliver up to 3W of
continuous average power into a 3Ω load. In headphone mode, the amplifier can deliver up to 200mW of
continuous average power into a 16Ω load. The gain of
the amplifiers is externally set, allowing maximum flexibility in optimizing output levels for a given load. The
amplifiers also feature a 2:1 input multiplexer, allowing
multiple audio sources to be selected. The multiplexer
can also be used to compensate for limitations in the
frequency response of the loud speakers by selecting
an external equalizer network. The various functions are
controlled by either an I2C-compatible (MAX9777) or
simple parallel control interface (MAX9778).
The MAX9777/MAX9778 are available in a thermally
efficient 28-pin thin QFN package (5mm x 5mm x
0.8mm). These devices have thermal-overload protection (OVP) and are specified over the extended -40°C
to +85°C temperature range.

Note 5: Input filters on SDA, SCL, and ADD suppress noise spikes of less than 50ns.
Note 6: Headphone mode testing performed with 32Ω resistive load connected to GND. Speaker mode testing performed with 8Ω
resistive load connected to GND. Mode transitions are controlled by SHDN . KCP level is calculated as 20log[(peak voltage
