General Description
Features
♦ 2.7V to 5.5V Single-Supply Operation
The MAX9727 quad audio line driver with 3V
output is
RMS
ideal for portable audio devices where board space and
cost is at a premium. The device uses Maxim’s
DirectDriveTM architecture that produces a ground-refer-
enced output from a single supply, eliminating the need
for large DC-blocking capacitors, saving cost, board
space, and component height. A high 100dB PSRR and
low 0.0005% THD+N ensures clean, low-distortion ampli-
fication of the audio signal. Each MAX9727 amplifier can
♦ High 100dB PSRR
♦ 109dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
♦ Ground-Referenced Outputs
♦ No Audible Clicks or Pops at Power-Up/Down
♦ Differential Inputs

♦ Unity-Gain Stable
RMS
less than 0.003% THD+N while operating from a single
+3.3V supply.
♦ 100nA Low-Power Shutdown Mode
A shutdown input disables the amplifiers and reduces
quiescent current consumption to less than 100nA. The
MAX9727 features Maxim’s comprehensive click-and-
pop suppression circuitry that reduces audible clicks and
pops during startup and shutdown.
