MAX9770
1.2W Low-EMI, Filterless, Mono Class D Amplifier
with Stereo DirectDrive Headphone Amplifiers
10 ______________________________________________________________________________________
Detailed Description
The MAX9770 combines a mono 1.2W Class D speaker
amplifier and stereo 80mW DirectDrive headphone
amplifiers with integrated headphone sensing and
comprehensive click-and-pop suppression. A
mixer/multiplexer allows for selection and mixing
between two stereo input sources and a single mono
source. The MAX9770 features a high 80dB PSRR, low
0.015% THD+N, industry-leading click/pop perfor-
mance, and a low-power shutdown mode.
Class D Speaker Amplifier
The MAX9770 Class D amplifier features a true filter-
less, low EMI, switch-mode architecture that provides
Class AB-like performance with Class D efficiency.
Comparators monitor the MAX9770 input and compare
the input voltage to a sawtooth waveform. The com-
parators trip when the input magnitude of the sawtooth
exceeds the corresponding input voltage. The com-
parator resets at a fixed time after the rising edge of the
second comparator trip point, generating a minimum-
