Stereo 2.4W Class D Amplifier
General Description
The MAX98302 stereo 2.4W Class D amplifier provides
Class AB audio performance with Class D efficiency.
This device offers five selectable gain settings (6dB,
9dB, 12dB, 15dB, and 18dB) set by a single gain-select
input (GAIN).
Active emissions limiting, edge-rate, and overshoot control circuitry greatly reduces EMI. A filterless spreadspectrum modulation scheme eliminates the need for
output filtering found in traditional Class D devices. These
features reduce application component count.
The MAX98302 industry-leading 1.65mA at 3.7V, 2.25mA
at 5V, quiescent current extends battery life in portable
applications.

Note 1: Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-
layer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.
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.
