1.8W, Filterless, Stereo, Class D Audio Power
Amplifier and DirectDrive Stereo Headphone Amplifier
General Description
Features
♦ Patented Spread-Spectrum Modulation Reduces
The MAX9702 combines a highly efficient Class D
speaker amplifier with a high-linearity Class AB head-
phone amplifier. This ensures maximum battery life in
speaker mode and maximum performance in head-
phone mode. The MAX9702 delivers up to 1.8W per
channel into an 8Ω load from a 5V power supply.
Maxim’s 2nd-generation, spread-spectrum modulation
scheme renders the traditional Class D output filter
unnecessary.

♦ High 73dB PSRR (f = 217Hz)
♦ I2C Programmable Gain Up to +21dB
The MAX9702 speaker amplifier offers two modulation
schemes: a fixed-frequency (FFM) mode and a spread-
spectrum (SSM) mode that reduces EMI-radiated emis-
sions. The MAX9702 speaker amplifier features a fully
differential architecture, full-bridged (BTL) output, and
comprehensive click-and-pop suppression. The
MAX9702 speaker amplifier features high 75dB PSRR,
low 0.07% THD+N, and SNR in excess of 97dB. Short-
circuit and thermal-overload protection prevent the
device from being damaged during a fault condition.
♦ Integrated Click-and-Pop Suppression
♦ Low-Power Shutdown Mode (0.1µA)
♦ Short-Circuit and Thermal-Overload Protection
♦ ±8kV (HBM) ESD-Protected Headphone Driver

The headphone amplifier uses Maxim’s patented
DirectDriveTM architecture that produces a ground-ref-
erenced output from a single supply, eliminating the
need for large DC-blocking capacitors, saving cost,
board space, and component height. A high 80dB
PSRR and low 0.02% THD+N ensures clean, low-distor-
tion amplification of the audio signal.
