EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
MAX98358
PDM Input Class D Audio Power Amplifier
General Description
The MAX98358 is a digital pulse-density modulated
(PDM) input Class D power amplifier that provides Class
AB audio performance with Class D efficiency. This IC
offers five selectable gain settings (3dB, 6dB, 9dB, 12dB,
and 15dB) set by a single gain-select input (GAIN). The IC
can be configured to produce a left channel, right channel,
or (left/2 + right/2) output from the stereo input data.
The MAX98358 takes a stereo pulse density modulated
(SPDM) input signal directly into the DAC. Data on the
rising edge of PDM_CLK is considered left-channel data
while data on the falling PDM_CLK edge is right channel.
A mono sum feature is also implemented with SPDM data
input by summing the data from both rising and falling
clock edges.
Active emissions-limiting, edge-rate limiting, and over-
shoot control circuitry greatly reduce EMI. A filterless
spread-spectrum modulation scheme eliminates the need
for output filtering found in traditional Class D devices and
reduces the component count of the solution.
The IC is available in 9-pin WLP (1.345mm x 1.435mm
x 0.64mm) and 16-pin TQFN (3mm x 3mm x 0.75mm)
packages and is specified over the -40°C to +85°C tem-
perature range.

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.
