Single-/Dual-Supply, Stereo 16W,
Class D Amplifier with Differential Inputs
General Description
The MAX9742 stereo Class D audio power amplifier
delivers up to 2 x 16W into 4Ω loads. The MAX9742
features high-power efficiency (92% with 8Ω loads),
eliminating the need for a bulky heatsink and conserv-
ing power. The MAX9742 operates from a 20V to 40V
single supply or a ±10V to ±20V dual supply. Features
include fully differential inputs, comprehensive click-
and-pop suppression, low-power shutdown mode, and
an externally adjustable gain. Short-circuit and thermal-
overload protection prevent the device from being
damaged during a fault condition.
The MAX9742 is available in a thermally efficient 36-pin
TQFN (6mm x 6mm x 0.8mm) package and is specified
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 2:
All devices are 100% production tested at +25°C. All temperature limits are guaranteed by design.
Note 3:
Supply pumping may occur at high output powers with low audio frequencies. Use proper supply bypassing to prevent the
device from entering overvoltage protection due to supply pumping. See the
Supply Pumping Effects
and the
Supply
Undervoltage and Overvoltage Protection
sections.
