2 x 1.5W, Stereo Class D Audio Subsystem
with DirectDrive Headphone Amplifier
General Description
The MAX9775/MAX9776 combine a high-efficiency
Class D, stereo/mono audio power amplifier with a
mono DirectDrive
®
receiver amplifier and a stereo
DirectDrive headphone amplifier.
Maxim’s 3rd-generation, ultra-low-EMI, Class D audio
power amplifiers provide Class AB performance with
Class D efficiency. The MAX9775/MAX9776 deliver
1.5W per channel into a 4Ω load from a 5V supply and
offer efficiencies up to 79%. Active emissions limiting
circuitry and spread-spectrum modulation greatly
reduce EMI, eliminating the need for output filtering
found in traditional Class D devices.
The MAX9775/MAX9776 utilize a fully differential archi-
tecture, a full-bridged output, and comprehensive click-
and-pop suppression. A 3D stereo enhancement
function allows the MAX9775 to widen the stereo sound
field immersing the listener in a cleaner, richer sound
experience than typically found in portable applications.
The devices utilize a flexible, user-defined mixer archi-
tecture that includes an input mixer, volume control, and
output mixer. All control is done through I
2
C.
The mono receiver amplifier and stereo headphone
amplifier use Maxim’s DirectDrive architecture that pro-
duces a ground-referenced output from a single supply,
eliminating the need for large DC-blocking capacitors,
saving cost, space, and component height.
The MAX9775 is available in a 36-bump WLP (3mm x
3mm) package. The MAX9776 is available in a 32-pin
TQFN (5mm x 5mm) or a 36-bump WLP (3mm x 3mm)
package. Both devices are specified over the extended
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.
