MAX9877EWP+TG45
Low RF Susceptibility Mono Audio Subsystem with DirectDrive Headphone Amplifier
General DescriptionThe MAX9877 combines a high-efficiency Class D
audio power amplifier with a stereo Class AB capacitor-
less DirectDrive®headphone amplifier. Maxim’s 3rd
generation, filterless Class D amplifier with active emis-
sions limiting technology provides Class AB perfor-
mance with Class D efficiency.
The MAX9877 delivers up to 725mW from a 3.7V supply
into an 8Ωload with 87% efficiency to extend battery life.
The filterless modulation scheme combined with active
emissions limiting circuitry and spread-spectrum modu-
lation greatly reduces EMI while eliminating the need for
output filtering used in traditional Class D devices.
The stereo Class AB headphone amplifier in the
MAX9877 uses Maxim’s DirectDrive architecture, that
produces a ground-referenced output from a single
supply, eliminating the need for large DC-blocking
capacitors, saving cost, space, and component height.
The device utilizes a user-defined input architecture,
three preamplifier gain settings, an input mixer, volume
control, comprehensive click-and-pop suppression, and2C control. A bypass mode feature disables the integrat-
ed Class D amplifier and utilizes an internal DPST switch
to allow an external amplifier to drive the speaker that is
connected at the outputs of the MAX9877.
The MAX9877 is available in a thermally efficient,
space-saving 20-bump WLP package.
