Stereo 3.7W Class D Amplifier
General Description
Features
S Output Power 3.7W at 3I, 10% THD, 1.7W at 8I,
The MAX98306 stereo 3.7W Class D amplifier provides
Class AB audio performance with Class D efficiency.
This device offers five selectable gain settings (6dB,
9dB, 12dB, 15dB, and 18dB) set by a single gain-select
input (GAIN).
10% THD, with 5V Supply
S Passes EMI Limit Unfiltered with Up to 12in of
Speaker Cable
S High 83dB PSRR at 217Hz
Active emissions limiting, edge-rate, and overshoot con-
trol circuitry combined with a filterless spread-spectrum
modulation scheme (SSM) provide excellent EMI perfor-
mance while eliminating the need for output filtering found
in traditional Class D devices. These features reduce
application component count.
S Spread-Spectrum Modulation and Active
Emissions Limiting
S Five Pin-Selectable Gains
S Excellent Click-and-Pop Suppression
S Thermal and Overcurrent Protection
S Low-Current Shutdown Mode
The IC's 2.0mA quiescent current with a 3.7V supply
extends battery life in portable applications.
S Space-Saving, 3mm x 3mm x 0.75mm,
The IC is available in a 14-pin TDFN (3mm x 3mm x
