Low-Cost, Mono, 1.4W BTL Audio
Power Amplifiers
General Description
Features
The MAX9716/MAX9717 audio power amplifiers are ideal
for portable audio devices with internal speakers. A
bridge-tied load (BTL) architecture minimizes external
component count, while providing high-quality audio
reproduction. Both devices deliver 1.4W continuous
power into a 4Ω load with less than 1% Total Harmonic
Distortion (THD) while operating from a single +5V sup-
ply. With an 8Ω load, both devices deliver 1W continuous
power. These devices also deliver 350mW continuous
power into an 8Ω load while operating from a single
+3.0V supply. The devices are available as adjustable
gain amplifiers (MAX9716/MAX9717A) or with internally
fixed gains of 6dB, 9dB, and 12dB (MAX9717B/
MAX9717C/MAX9717D), reducing component count.
♦ 2.7V to 5.5V Single-Supply Operation
♦ 1.4W into 4Ω at 1% THD+N
♦ 10nA Low-Power Shutdown Mode
♦ 73dB PSRR at 1kHz
♦ No Audible Clicks or Pops at Power-Up/Down
♦ Internal Fixed Gain to Reduce Component Count
(MAX9717B/C/D)
♦ Adjustable Gain Option (MAX9716/MAX9717A)
♦ BTL/SE Input Senses when Headphones are
Connected (MAX9717)
A low-power shutdown mode disables the bias generator
and amplifiers, reducing quiescent current consumption
to less than 10nA. These devices feature Maxim’s
industry-leading, comprehensive click-and-pop sup-
pression that reduces audible clicks and pops during
startup and shutdown.
♦ Pin Compatible with LM4890 (MAX9716)
♦ Pin Compatible with TPA711 (MAX9717A)
♦ Available in Compact, Thermally Enhanced μMAX
and TDFN (3mm x 3mm) Packages
The MAX9717 features a headphone sense input (BTL/SE)
that senses when a headphone is connected to the
device, disables the BTL slave driver, muting the speaker
while driving the headphone as a single-ended load.
