2.6W Stereo Audio Power Amplifiers and
DirectDrive Headphone Amplifiers
General Description
The MAX9750/MAX9751/MAX9755 combine a stereo,
2.6W audio power amplifier and stereo DirectDrive
®
110mW headphone amplifier in a single device. The
headphone amplifier uses Maxim’s DirectDrive architec-
ture that produces a ground-referenced output from a
single supply, eliminating the need for large DC-blocking
capacitors, saving cost, space, and component height.
A high 90dB PSRR and low 0.01% THD+N ensures
clean, low-distortion amplification of the audio signal.
The MAX9750 features an analog volume control, and a
BEEP input. The MAX9751 features a 2:1 input multiplexer,
allowing multiple audio sources to be selected. All devices
feature a single-supply voltage, a shutdown mode, logic-
selectable gain, and a headphone sense input. Industry-
leading click-and-pop suppression eliminates audible
transients during power and shutdown cycles.
The MAX9750/MAX9751/MAX9755 are offered in a
space-saving, thermally efficient 28-pin thin QFN (5mm
x 5mm x 0.8mm) package. These devices have thermal-
overload and output short-circuit protection, and are
specified over the extended -40°C to +85°C tempera-
ture 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.

All devices are 100% production tested at room temperature. All temperature limits are guaranteed by design.
Guaranteed by design. Not production tested.
PSRR is specified with the amplifier input connected to GND through C

.
Output power levels are measured with the thin QFN’s exposed paddle soldered to the ground plane.
See Table 3 for details of the mute levels.
The value of R
