1.2W, Low-EMI, Filterless, Mono Class D Amplifier
with Stereo DirectDrive Headphone Amplifiers
General Description
The MAX9770/MAX9772 combine a mono, filterless,
Class D speaker amplifier and stereo DirectDrive
TM
headphone amplifiers in a single device. The MAX9770/
MAX9772 operate from a single 2.5V to 5.5V supply
and include features that reduce external component
count, system cost, board space, and offer improved
audio reproduction.
The speaker amplifiers make use of Maxim’s patented
Class D architecture, providing Class AB performance
with Class D efficiency, conserving board space, and
extending battery life. The speaker amplifiers deliver
1.2W into an 8Ω load while offering efficiencies above
85%. A spread-spectrum modulation scheme reduces
radiated emissions caused by the modulation frequency.
Furthermore, the MAX9770/MAX9772 oscillators can be
synchronized to an external clock through the SYNC
input, avoiding possible problem frequencies inside a
system. The speaker amplifier features THD+N as low as
0.025%, high 70dB PSRR, and SNR in excess of 90dB.
The headphone amplifiers feature Maxim’s patented
DirectDrive architecture that produces a ground-refer-
enced output from a single supply, eliminating the need
for large DC-blocking capacitors. The headphone ampli-
fiers deliver up to 80mW into a 16Ω load, feature low
0.015% THD+N, high 85dB PSRR, and
±8kV
ESD-pro-
tected outputs. A headphone sense input detects the
presence of a headphone, and automatically configures
the amplifiers for either speaker or headphone mode.
The MAX9770/MAX9772 include internally set, logic-
selectable gain, and a comprehensive input mul-
tiplexer/mixer, allowing multiple audio sources to be
selected and for true mono reproduction of a stereo
source in speaker mode. Industry-leading click-and-pop
suppression eliminates audible transients during power
and shutdown cycles. A low-power shutdown mode
decreases supply current consumption to 0.1µA, further
extending battery life.
The MAX9770 is offered in space-saving, thermally effi-
cient 28-pin TQFN (5mm x 5mm x 0.8mm) and 28-pin
TSSOP packages, while the MAX9772 is offered in a
tiny (2.54mm x 2.54mm x 0.62mm) 25-bump chip-scale
package (UCSP™). The MAX9770/MAX9772 feature
thermal-overload and output short-circuit protection,
and are specified over the extended -40°C to +85°C
temperature range.

Note 1:
All devices are 100% production tested at +25°C. All temperature limits are guaranteed by design.
Note 2:
Speaker amplifier testing performed with a resistive load in series with an inductor to simulate an actual speaker load. For
R
L
= 4Ω, L = 47µH. For R
L
= 8Ω, L = 68µH.
Note 3:

Note 4:
Inputs AC-coupled to GND.
Note 5:
Speaker mode testing performed with an 8Ω resistive load in series with a 68µH inductive load connected across BTL output.
Headphone mode testing performed with a 32Ω resistive load connected to GND. Mode transitions are controlled by
SHDN.

level is calculated as: 20 x log [(peak voltage during mode transition, no input signal)/(peak voltage under normal operation at
rated power level)]. Units are expressed in dB. Measured with V
