MAX9716/MAX9717
The MAX9716/MAX9717 audio power amplifiers are ideal
for portable audio devices with internal speakers. A
bridge-tied load (BTL) architecture minimizes external
component count, while providing high-quality audio
reproduction. Both devices deliver 1.4W continuous
power into a 4Ω load with less than 1% Total Harmonic
Distortion (THD) while operating from a single +5V sup-
ply. With an 8Ω load, both devices deliver 1W continuous
power. These devices also deliver 350mW continuous
power into an 8Ω load while operating from a single
+3.0V supply. The devices are available as adjustable
gain amplifiers (MAX9716/MAX9717A) or with internally
fixed gains of 6dB, 9dB, and 12dB (MAX9717B/
MAX9717C/MAX9717D), reducing component count.
A low-power shutdown mode disables the bias generator
and amplifiers, reducing quiescent current consumption
to less than 10nA. These devices feature Maxim’s
industry-leading, comprehensive click-and-pop sup-
pression that reduces audible clicks and pops during
startup and shutdown.
The MAX9717 features a headphone sense input (BTL/SE)
that senses when a headphone is connected to the
device, disables the BTL slave driver, muting the speaker
while driving the headphone as a single-ended load.
The MAX9716 is pin compatible with the LM4890 and is
available in 9-bump UCSP™, 8-pin TDFN (3mm x
3mm), and 8-pin µMAX
®
packages. The MAX9717 is
available in 9-bump UCSP, 8-pin TDFN, and 8-pin
µMAX packages. Both devices operate over the -40°C
to +85°C extended temperature 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.

Note 1:
Continuous power dissipation must also be observed.
Note 2:
All specifications are tested at T
A
= +25°C. Specifications over temperature (T
A
= T
MIN
to T
MAX
) are not production tested,
and guaranteed by design.
Note 3:
Quiescent power-supply current is specified and tested with no load. Quiescent power-supply current depends on the off-
set voltage when a practical load is connected to the amplifier.

Common-mode bias voltage is the voltage on BIAS and is nominally V

Note 6:
The amplifier input IN- is AC-coupled to GND through C

Note 7:
Output power is specified by a combination of a functional output current test and characterization analysis.
Note 8:
Measurement bandwidth for THD+N is 22Hz to 22kHz.
Note 9:
Extended short-circuit conditions result in a pulsed output.
Note 10:
