General Description
The MAX9729 stereo DirectDrive™ headphone amplifier features bass boost, volume control, an input mux,
and an I2C/SMBus™-compatible serial interface. This
makes the MAX9729 ideal for portable audio applications where space is at a premium and performance is
essential. The MAX9729 operates from a single 1.8V to
3.6V, and uses Maxim’s patented
†
DirectDrive architecture, eliminating the need for large DC-blocking capacitors. The headphone amplifiers deliver 52mW into a
32Ω load, feature low 0.03% THD+N, and high 90dB
PSRR. Maxim’s industry-leading click-and-pop suppression circuitry reduces audible transients during
power and shutdown cycles.
The BassMax feature boosts the bass response of the
amplifier, improving audio reproduction for low-end
headphones. The integrated volume control features 32
discrete volume levels along with a ramping function to
ensure smooth transitions during shutdown cycles and
input selection. The MAX9729’s eight programmable
maximum gain settings allow for a wide range of input
signal levels. A 3:1 multiplexer/mixer allows the selection
and summation of multiple stereo input signal sources.
The MAX9729 also includes a dedicated BEEP input
with independent attenuation control. BassMax, volume
control, gain settings, and input selection are controlled
using the I2C/SMBus-compatible serial interface. A lowpower, 5µA shutdown mode is controlled through an
external logic input or the serial interface.
The MAX9729 consumes only 4.8mA of supply current,
provides short-circuit and thermal-overload protection,
and is specified over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range. The MAX9729 is available in a spacesaving 28-pin thin QFN package (5mm x 5mm x 0.8mm).

Pin Description
PIN NAME FUNCTION
1 INR2 Right-Channel Input 2
2 INR3 Right-Channel Input 3
3 SGND Signal Ground. Connect SGND to PGND at a single point on the PCB near the device.
4, 8, 15,
22
N.C. No Connection. Not internally connected.
5 ADD
Slave Address Selection Input. Connect ADD to V
DD
to set the device slave address to 1010001 or to
PGND to set the device slave address to 1010000.
6PVSSCharge-Pump Output. Connect to SVSS.
7 SDA Serial Data Input. Connect a pullup resistor greater than 500Ω from SDA to PVDD.
9 C1N Charge-Pump Flying Capacitor Negative Terminal. Connect a 1µF capacitor between C1P and C1N.
10 PGND Power Ground. Connect PGND to SGND at a single point on the PCB near the device.
11 C1P Charge-Pump Flying Capacitor Positive Terminal. Connect a 1µF capacitor between C1P and C1N.
12 SCL Serial Clock Input. Connect a pullup resistor greater than 500Ω from SCL to PVDD.
13 PV
DD
Charge-Pump and Logic Power-Supply Input. Bypass PVDD to PGND with a 1µF capacitor and connect
