MAX9812/MAX9813
Tiny, Low-Cost, Single/Dual-Input, Fixed-Gain
Microphone Amplifiers with Integrated Bias
General Description
Features
The MAX9812/MAX9813 are single/dual-input, 20dB
fixed-gain microphone amplifiers. They offer tiny pack-
aging and a low-noise, integrated microphone bias,
making them ideal for portable audio applications such
as notebook computers, cell phones, and PDAs. These
amplifiers feature a 500kHz bandwidth, rail-to-rail out-
puts, an industry-leading 100dB power-supply rejection
ratio, and a very low 0.015% THD+N. Power-saving fea-
tures include very low 230µA supply current and a total
shutdown mode that cuts the combined supply and
BIAS currents to only 100nA.
o PC2001 Compliant
o 100dB at 217Hz Power-Supply Rejection Ratio
o Very Low 230µA Quiescent Current
o Low 0.015% THD+N
o Available in Two Versions
MAX9812L/MAX9813L—2.7V to 3.6V
MAX9812H/MAX9813H—4.5V to 5.5V

The MAX9812 is a single amplifier in a 6-pin SC70
package (2mm x 2.1mm) and the MAX9813 is a dual-
input amplifier available in an 8-pin SOT23 (3mm x
3mm) package. The MAX9813 has two inputs allowing
two microphones to be multiplexed to a single output.
o Available in Tiny 6-Pin SC70 (2mm x 2.1mm) and
8-Pin SOT23 (3mm x 3mm) Packages
The MAX9812/MAX9813 are offered in two grades. The
MAX9812L/MAX9813L are optimized for 3.3V supply
operation (2.7V to 3.6V). The MAX9812H/MAX9813H are
PC2001 compliant and are optimized for 5V operation
(4.5V to 5.5V). Both devices are specified over the -40°C
to +85°C extended operating temperature range.
