MAX13335E/MAX13336E
Dual Automotive Differential Audio Receivers
with I2C Control and Diagnostics
General Description
Benefits and Features
● +3.3V or +5V Operation
The MAX13335E/MAX13336E are high-fidelity stereo
audio input amplifiers designed for automotive applica-
tions requiring audio-level detection and/or jack sensing
capability.
● +28V to -16V Tolerant Inputs
● Wide Common-Mode Input Range (-5V to +11.5V)
● Fully Differential Inputs Up to 7V
RMS
The devices feature a dual-channel, low-noise, program-
mable gain amplifier that accepts fully differential and
quasi-differential input signals with diagnostics capability
● Quasi-Differential Inputs Up to 3.5V
● Audio Presence Detection
● Jack Sense Detection

controlled through an I C interface. The devices’ audio
receiver can also pair with the MAX13325/MAX13326
audio transmitter to form a complete differential audio link
in automotive systems.
● Diagnostic Capability
● Programmable Gain with Zero-Crossing Detection
Each channel of the device features high common-mode
rejection ratio (CMRR) (80dB), enabling the recovery of
audio signals in the presence of large common-mode
noise in automotive environments. An integrated pro-
grammable gain amplifier is adjustable from -14dB to
+16dB (MAX13335E) and -22dB to +8dB (MAX13336E)
with zero-crossing detection to provide an optimum out-
put-signal level and limit zip noise. The external flexible
diagnostic inputs can be configured to perform jack sense
functions or to detect short-to-battery, short-to-ground,
open load, and shorts between channels.
