MAX978
General Description
Features
The MAX9788 features a mono Class G power amplifier
with an integrated inverting charge-pump power supply
specifically designed to drive the high capacitance of a
ceramic loudspeaker. The charge pump can supply
greater than 700mA of peak output current at 5.5VDC,

Inductor Required
o 14V
Voltage Swing into Piezoelectric Speaker
P-P
o 2.7V to 5.5V Single-Supply Operation
o Clickless/Popless Operation
guaranteeing an output of 14V
.
P-P
The MAX9788 maximizes battery life by offering high-
performance efficiency. Maxim’s proprietary Class G
output stage provides efficiency levels greater than
Class AB devices without the EMI penalties commonly
associated with Class D amplifiers.
o Small Thermally Efficient Packages
4mm x 4mm 28-Pin TQFN
2mm x 2.5mm 20-Bump UCSP
The MAX9788 is ideally suited to deliver the high out-
put-voltage swing required to drive ceramic/piezoelec-
tric speakers.
