General Description
The MAX9702 combines a highly efficient Class D
speaker amplifier with a high-linearity Class AB head-
phone amplifier. This ensures maximum battery life in
speaker mode and maximum performance in head-
phone mode. The MAX9702 delivers up to 1.8W per
channel into an 8
load from a 5V power supply.
Maxim’s 2nd-generation, spread-spectrum modulation
scheme renders the traditional Class D output filter
unnecessary.
The MAX9702 speaker amplifier offers two modulation
schemes: a fixed-frequency (FFM) mode and a spread-
spectrum (SSM) mode that reduces EMI-radiated emis-
sions. The MAX9702 speaker amplifier features a fully
differential architecture, full-bridged (BTL) output, and
comprehensive click-and-pop suppression. The
MAX9702 speaker amplifier features high 75dB PSRR,
low 0.07% THD+N, and SNR in excess of 97dB. Short-
circuit and thermal-overload protection prevent the
device from being damaged during a fault condition.
The headphone amplifier uses Maxim’s patented
DirectDrive
TM
architecture that produces a ground-ref-
erenced output from a single supply, eliminating the
need for large DC-blocking capacitors, saving cost,
board space, and component height. A high 80dB
PSRR and low 0.02% THD+N ensures clean, low-distor-
tion amplification of the audio signal.

C interface sets the speaker and headphone gain,
mono, stereo, and mute functions.
The MAX9702 is available in 28-pin thin QFN-EP (5mm
x 5mm x 0.8mm) and 28-pin TSSOP packages. The
MAX9702 is specified over the extended -40°C to
+85°C temperature range.
