Shutdown
The MAX9787 features a 0.2µA, low-power shutdown
mode that reduces quiescent current consumption and
extends battery life. Driving SHDN low disables the
drive amplifiers, bias circuitry, and charge pump, and
drives BIAS and all outputs to GND. Connect SHDN to

Click-and-Pop Suppression
The MAX9787 speaker amplifiers feature Maxim’s com-
prehensive, industry-leading click-and-pop suppres-
sion. During startup, the click-and-pop suppression
circuitry eliminates any audible transient sources inter-
nal to the device. When entering shutdown, both ampli-
fier outputs ramp to GND quickly and simultaneously.
