3-Channel, 2.3W, Filterless Class D Amplifiers
with Active Crossover
General Description
The MAX9706/MAX9707 combine three high-efficiency
Class D amplifiers with an active crossover to provide
stereo highpass outputs, and a mono lowpass output.
All three channels deliver up to 2.3W at 1% THD+N per
channel into 4Ω when operating from a 5V supply.
An internal active filter processes the stereo inputs (left
and right) into stereo highpass and mono lowpass out-
puts. The crossover frequency is pin-selectable to four
different frequencies to accommodate a variety of
speaker configurations. The internal Class D amplifiers
feature low-EMI, spread-spectrum outputs. No output
filters are required.
The MAX9706 features Maxim’s DirectDrive™ headphone
amplifier, providing ground-referenced headphone out-
puts without the need for bulky DC-coupling capacitors.
The headphone outputs are capable of delivering
95mW per channel into 16Ω from a 3.3V supply, and
are protected against ESD up to ±8kV.
The MAX9706/MAX9707 feature pin-programmable
gain, synchronization inputs and outputs, and a shut-
down mode that reduces supply current to less than
1µA. All amplifiers feature click-and-pop suppression
circuitry. Both devices are fully specified over the -40°C
to +85°C extended temperature range and are avail-
able in the thermally enhanced 36-pin (6mm x 6mm x
0.8mm) thin QFN package.

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.
