Quad Audio Line Driver with 3V
RMS
Output
General Description
The MAX9727 quad audio line driver with 3V
RMS
output is
ideal for portable audio devices where board space and
cost is at a premium. The device uses Maxim’s
DirectDrive
TM
architecture that produces a ground-refer-
enced output from a single supply, eliminating the need
for large DC-blocking capacitors, saving cost, board
space, and component height. A high 100dB PSRR and
low 0.0005% THD+N ensures clean, low-distortion ampli-
fication of the audio signal. Each MAX9727 amplifier can
provide 3V
RMS
to a 1kΩ load with less than 0.003%
THD+N while operating from a single +5V supply. Each
MAX9727 amplifier can provide 2V
RMS
to a 1kΩ load with
less than 0.003% THD+N while operating from a single
+3.3V supply.
A shutdown input disables the amplifiers and reduces
quiescent current consumption to less than 100nA. The
MAX9727 features Maxim’s comprehensive click-and-
pop suppression circuitry that reduces audible clicks and
pops during startup and shutdown.
The MAX9727 operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V sup-
ply, consumes only 3mA of supply current per channel
and is specified over the -40°C to +85°C extended tem-
perature range.
