1.4W and 1W, Ultra-Small, Audio Power
Amplifiers with Shutdown
Features
The MAX4364/MAX4365 are bridged audio power
amplifiers intended for portable audio devices with
internal speakers. The MAX4364 is capable of delivering 1.4W from a single 5V supply and 500mW from a
single 3V supply into an 8Ω load. The MAX4365 is
capable of delivering 1W from a single 5V supply and
450mW from a single 3V supply into an 8Ω load. The
MAX4364/MAX4365 feature 0.04% THD+N at 1kHz,
68dB PSRR at 217Hz, and only 10nA of supply current
in shutdown mode.
The MAX4364/MAX4365 bridged outputs eliminate the
need for output-coupling capacitors, minimizing external component count. The MAX4364/MAX4365 also
include internal DC bias generation, clickless operation,
short-circuit and thermal-overload protection. Both
devices are unity-gain stable, with the gain set by two
external resistors.
The MAX4364 is available in a small 8-pin SO package.
The MAX4365 is available in tiny 8-pin TDFN (3mm 3mm 0.8mm) and µMAX® packages.

Note 3: All specifications are 100% tested at TA = +25°C.
Note 4: Quiescent power-supply current is specified and tested with no load on the outputs. Quiescent power-supply current
depends on the offset voltage when a practical load is connected to the amplifier.
Note 5: Guaranteed by design, not production tested.
Note 6: Common-mode bias voltage is the voltage on BIAS and is nominally VCC/2.
Note 7: Maximum differential-output offset voltage is tested in a unity-gain configuration. VOS = VOUT+ - VOUT-.
Note 8: Output power is specified by a combination of a functional output-current test, and characterization analysis.
Note 9: Measurement bandwidth for THD+N is 22Hz to 22kHz.
Note 10: Extended short-circuit conditions result in a pulsed output.

1.4W and 1W, Ultra-Small, Audio Power
Amplifiers with Shutdown
The MAX4364/MAX4365 bridged audio power amplifiers can deliver 1.4W into 8Ω (MAX4364) or 1W into 8Ω
(MAX4365) while operating from a single 5V supply.
These devices consist of two high-output-current op
amps configured as a bridge-tied load (BTL) amplifier
(see Typical Application Circuit/Functional Diagram).
The gain of the device is set by the closed-loop gain of
the input op amp. The output of the first amplifier
serves as the input to the second amplifier, which is
configured as an inverting unity-gain follower in both
devices. This results in two outputs, identical in magnitude, but 180° out of phase.
BIAS
The MAX4364/MAX4365 feature an internally generated
common-mode bias voltage of VCC/2 referenced to
GND. BIAS provides both click-and-pop suppression
and the DC bias level for the audio signal. BIAS is internally connected to the noninverting input of one amplifier, and should be connected to the noninverting input
of the other amplifier for proper signal biasing (see
Typical Application Circuit/Functional Diagram ).
Choose the value of the bypass capacitor as described
in the BIAS Capacitor section.

the device is twice the closed-loop gain of the input
amplifier. The effective gain is given by:
A VD = 2 ×
Substituting 2 VOUT(P-P) into the following equations
yields four times the output power due to doubling of
the output voltage.
VRMS =
VOUT(P−P)
Shutdown
The MAX4364/MAX4365 feature a 10nA, low-power
shutdown mode that reduces quiescent current consumption. Pulling SHDN high disables the device’s bias
circuitry, the amplifier outputs go high impedance, and
BIAS is driven to GND. Connect SHDN to GND for normal operation.
Current Limit
The MAX4364/MAX4365 feature a current limit that protects the device during output short circuit and overload conditions. When both amplifier outputs are
shorted to either VCC or GND, the short-circuit protection is enabled and the amplifier enters a pulsing mode,
reducing the average output current to a safe level. The
amplifier remains in this mode until the overload or
short-circuit condition is removed.
Applications Information
Bridge-Tied Load
The MAX4364/MAX4365 are designed to drive a load
differentially in a BTL configuration. The BTL configuration (Figure 1) offers advantages over the single-ended
configuration, where one side of the load is connected
to ground. Driving the load differentially doubles the
output voltage compared to a single-ended amplifier
under similar conditions. Thus, the differential gain of
RF

POUT = RMS

Since the differential outputs are biased at midsupply,
there is no net DC voltage across the load. This eliminates the need for DC-blocking capacitors required for
single-ended amplifiers. These capacitors can be
large, expensive, consume board space, and degrade
low-frequency performance.
Power Dissipation
Under normal operating conditions, the MAX4364/
MAX4365 can dissipate a significant amount of power.
The maximum power dissipation for each package is
given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section under
Continuous Power Dissipation or can be calculated by
the following equation:
PDISSPKG(MAX ) =
TJ(MAX ) − TA
θJA
where TJ(MAX) is +150°C, TA is the ambient temperature
and θJA is the reciprocal of the derating factor in °C/W
as specified in the Package Thermal Characteristics
section. For example, θ JA of the µMAX package is
206.3°C/W.

Detailed Description
MAX4364/MAX4365
1.4W and 1W, Ultra-Small, Audio Power
Amplifiers with Shutdown
The increase in power delivered by the BTL configuration directly results in an increase in internal power dissipation over the single-ended configuration. The
maximum power dissipation for a given VCC and load is
given by the following equation:
PDISS(MAX) =
2
π RL
Thermal-overload protection limits total power dissipation in the MAX4364/MAX4365. When the junction temperature exceeds +160°C, the thermal protection
circuitry disables the amplifier output stage. The amplifiers are enabled once the junction temperature cools
by 15°C. This results in a pulsing output under continuous thermal overload conditions as the device heats
and cools.
The MAX4365 TDFN package features an exposed
thermal pad on its underside. This pad lowers the thermal resistance of the package by providing a direct
heat conduction path from the die to the PC board.
Connect the exposed thermal pad to circuit ground by
using a large pad, ground plane, or multiple vias to the
ground plane.
Efficiency
The efficiency of the MAX4364/MAX4365 is calculated
by taking the ratio of the power delivered to the load to
the power consumed from the power supply. Output
power is calculated by the following equations:
V
POUT = PEAK
2RL
2
where VPEAK is half the peak-to-peak output voltage. In
BTL amplifiers, the supply current waveform is a fullwave rectified sinusoid with the magnitude proportional
to the peak output voltage and load. Calculate the supply current and power drawn from the power supply by
the following:
10
The efficiency of the MAX4364/MAX4365 is:
2VCC2
If the power dissipation for a given application exceeds
the maximum allowed for a given package, reduce
VCC, increase load impedance, decrease the ambient
temperature or add heat sinking to the device. Large
output, supply, and ground PC board traces improve
the maximum power dissipation in the package.

The device efficiency values in Table 1 are calculated
based on the previous equation and do include the
effects of quiescent current. Note that efficiency is low
at low output-power levels, but remains relatively constant at normal operating, output-power levels.
Component Selection
Gain-Setting Resistors
External feedback components set the gain of both
devices. Resistors RF and RIN (see Typical Application
Circuit/Functional Diagram) set the gain of the amplifier
as follows:
A VD = 2 ×
RF
RIN
Optimum output offset is achieved when RF = 20kΩ.
Vary the gain by changing the value of RIN. When using
the MAX4364/MAX4365 in a high-gain configuration
(greater than 8V/V), a feedback capacitor may be
required to maintain stability (see Figure 2). CF and RF
limit the bandwidth of the device, preventing high-frequency oscillations. Ensure that the pole created by CF
and RF is not within the frequency band of interest.
Input Filter
The input capacitor (CIN), in conjunction with RIN forms
a highpass filter that removes the DC bias from an
incoming signal. The AC-coupling capacitor allows the
amplifier to bias the signal to an optimum DC level.
Assuming zero source impedance, the -3dB point of
the highpass filter is given by:
ƒ −3dB =
1
2πRINCIN
Choose RIN according to the Gain-Setting Resistors
section. Choose CIN such that f-3dB is well below the
lowest frequency of interest. Setting f -3dB too high
affects the low-frequency response of the amplifier. Use
capacitors whose dielectrics have low-voltage coeffi-

cients, such as tantalum or aluminum electrolytic.
Capacitors with high-voltage coefficients, such as
ceramics, may result in an increase distortion at low
frequencies.
Other considerations when designing the input filter
include the constraints of the overall system, the actual
frequency band of interest and click-and-pop suppression. Although high-fidelity audio calls for a flat gain
response between 20Hz and 20kHz, portable voicereproduction devices such as cellular phones and twoway radios need only concentrate on the frequency
range of the spoken human voice (typically 300Hz to
3.5kHz). In addition, speakers used in portable devices
typically have a poor response below 150Hz. Taking
these two factors into consideration, the input filter may
not need to be designed for a 20Hz to 20kHz response,
saving both board space and cost due to the use of
smaller capacitors.
BIAS Capacitor
The BIAS bypass capacitor, CBIAS, improves PSRR and
THD+N by reducing power-supply noise at the commonmode bias node, and serves as the primary click-andpop suppression mechanism. C BIAS is fed from an
internal 25kΩ source, and controls the rate at which the
common-mode bias voltage rises at startup and falls
during shutdown. For optimum click-and-pop suppression, ensure that the input capacitor (C IN ) is fully
charged (ten time constants) before CBIAS. The value of
CBIAS for best click-and-pop suppression is given by:
⎡C R ⎤
CBIAS ≥ 10⎢ IN IN ⎥
⎣ 25kΩ ⎦
In addition, a larger CBIAS value yields higher PSRR.

Clickless/Popless Operation
Proper selection of AC-coupling capacitors (CIN) and
CBIAS achieves clickless/popless shutdown and startup.
The value of CBIAS determines the rate at which the
midrail bias voltage rises on startup and falls when entering shutdown. The size of the input capacitor also affects
clickless/popless operation. On startup, CIN is charged
to its quiescent DC voltage through the feedback resistor
(RF) from the output. This current creates a voltage transient at the amplifier’s output, which can result in an
audible pop. Minimizing the size of CIN reduces this
effect, optimizing click-and-pop suppression.

tion passes the audio signal unattenuated. Setting the
wiper to the lowest position fully attenuates the input.
Layout Considerations
Good layout improves performance by decreasing the
amount of stray capacitance and noise at the amplifier’s
inputs and outputs. Decrease stray capacitance by minimizing PC board trace lengths, using surface-mount
components and placing external components as close
to the device as possible. Also refer to the Power
Dissipation section for heatsinking considerations.
Adding Volume Control
The addition of a digital potentiometer provides simple
volume control. Figure 3 shows the MAX4364/MAX4365
with the MAX5407 log taper digital potentiometer used
as an input attenuator. Connect the high terminal of the
MAX5407 to the audio input, the low terminal to ground
and the wiper to CIN. Setting the wiper to the top posi-
