MAX9703/MAX9704
10W Stereo/15W Mono, Filterless,
Spread-Spectrum, Class D Amplifiers
General Description
Features
● Filterless Class D Amplifier
The MAX9703/MAX9704 mono/stereo Class D audio
power amplifiers provide Class AB amplifier performance
with Class D efficiency, conserving board space and
eliminating the need for a bulky heatsink. Using a Class
D architecture, these devices deliver up to 15W while
offering up to 78% efficiency. Proprietary and protected
modulation and switching schemes render the traditional
Class D output filter unnecessary.
● Unique Spread-Spectrum Mode Offers 5dB
Emissions Improvement Over Conventional Methods
● Up to 78% Efficient (R = 8Ω)
L
● Up to 88% Efficient (R = 16Ω)
L
● 15W Continuous Output Power into 8Ω (MAX9703)
● 2x10W Continuous Output Power into 8Ω (MAX9704)
● Low 0.07% THD+N
The MAX9703/MAX9704 offer two modulation schemes:
a fixed-frequency mode (FFM), and a spread-spectrum
mode (SSM) that reduces EMI-radiated emissions due
to the modulation frequency. The device utilizes a fully
differential architecture, a full bridged output, and compre-
hensive click-and-pop suppression.
● High PSRR (80dB at 1kHz)
● 10V to 25V Single-Supply Operation
● Differential Inputs Minimize Common-Mode Noise
● Pin-Selectable Gain Reduces Component Count
● Industry-Leading Click-and-Pop Suppression
● Low Quiescent Current (24mA)
The MAX9703/MAX9704 feature high 80dB PSRR, low
0.07% THD+N, and SNR in excess of 95dB. Short-circuit
and thermal-overload protection prevent the devices from
being damaged during a fault condition. The MAX9703 is
available in a 32-pin TQFN (5mm x 5mm x 0.8mm) pack-
age. The MAX9704 is available in a 32-pin TQFN (7mm x
7mm x 0.8mm) package. Both devices are specified over
the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
● Low-Power Shutdown Mode (0.2μA)
● Short-Circuit and Thermal-Overload Protection
● Available in Thermally Efficient, Space-Saving
