Audio Amplifier with Jack Detection
General Description
The MAX97236 is an audio amplifier with volume con-
trol and microphone preamplifier intended for use in
portable audio systems employing a headphone jack.
The audio circuit is powered from a single, dual-mode
charge pump, allowing the output signals to be ground
referenced, and eliminating the need for large and
expensive DC-blocking capacitors. The configuration of
a 3.5mm jack is determined by autoconfigure circuitry.
The IC’s functional blocks are auto-enabled after the
configuration of the jack is determined.
The audio amplifier is powered from a single 1.8V power
supply that reduces overall power consumption. The
microphone preamplifier and bias are powered from a
separate power-supply input accommodating bias volt-
ages that are greater than 2.4V.
The automatic jack detection determines when a 3.5mm
plug is inserted into the system jack and determines the
configuration of the installed load. The configuration of
the load is then reported to the system through the I
2
C
interface. Multiple popular jack and load configurations
are detectable with this scheme. The IC detects head-
sets, headphones, and A/V cables.
The headphone amplifier is capable of over 35mW into
16I. The device is available in a small, 25-bump WLP
package with a 0.4mm pitch and is specified over the
extended -40NC to +85NC 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.
