Mono/Stereo High-Power Class D Amplifier
Features
The MAX9736A/B Class D amplifiers provide high-performance, thermally efficient amplifier solutions. The
MAX9736A delivers 2 x 15W into 8Ω loads, or 1 x 30W
into a 4Ω load. The MAX9736B delivers 2 x 6W into 8Ω
loads or 1 x 12W into a 4Ω load. These devices are pinfor-pin compatible, allowing a single audio design to
work across a broad range of platforms, simplifying
design efforts, and reducing PCB inventory.
Both devices operate from 8V to 28V and provide a
high PSRR, eliminating the need for a regulated power
supply. The MAX9736 offers up to 88% efficiency at
12V supply.
Pin-selectable modulation schemes select between filterless modulation and classic PWM modulation.
Filterless modulation allows the MAX9736 to pass CE
EMI limits with 1m cables using only a low-cost ferrite
bead and capacitor on each output. Classic PWM modulation is optimized for best audio performance when
using a full LC filter.
A pin-selectable stereo/mono mode allows stereo operation into 8Ω loads or mono operation into 4Ω loads. In
mono mode, the right input op amp becomes available
as a spare device, allowing flexibility in system design.
♦ Wide 8V to 28V Supply Voltage Range
♦ Spread-Spectrum Modulation Enables Low EMI
Solution
♦ Passes CE EMI Limits with Low-Cost Ferrite
Bead/Capacitor Filter
♦ Low BOM Cost, Pin-for-Pin Compatible Family
♦ High 67dB PSRR at 1kHz Reduces Supply Cost
♦ 88% Efficiency Eliminates Heatsink
♦ Thermal and Output Current Protection
♦ < 1µA Shutdown Mode
♦ Mute Function
♦ Space-Saving, 7mm x 7mm x 0.8mm, 32-Pin TQFN
Package
Comprehensive click-and-pop reduction circuitry minimizes noise coming into and out of shutdown or mute.
Input op amps allow the user to create summing amplifiers,
lowpass or highpass filters, and select an optimal gain.
The MAX9736A/B are available in 32-pin TQFN packages and specified over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Note 4: All devices are 100% production tested at +25°C. All temperature limits are guaranteed by design.
Note 5: Stereo mode (MONO = GND) specified with 8Ω resistive load in series with a 68µH inductive load connected across BTL
outputs. Mono mode (MONO = 5V) specified with a 4Ω resistive load in series with a 33µH inductive load connected
across BTL outputs.
Note 6: Output swing is specified with respect to VCOM.
Note 7: For typical applications, an external 5V supply is not required. Therefore, set REGEN = 5V. If thermal performance is a
concern, set REGEN = 0V and provide an external regulated 5V supply.
Note 8: Output amplifier gain is defined as:
⎛ | (VOUT_ + ) − (VOUT _ − ) | ⎞
20 × log⎜
⎟
| VFB _ |
⎝
⎠
Note 9: Amplifier inputs AC-coupled to GND.
Note 10: Specified at room temperature with an 8Ω resistive load in series with a 68µH inductive load connected across BTL outputs.

Mono/Stereo High-Power Class D Amplifier
The MAX9736 features externally set gain and a lowpower shutdown mode that reduces supply current to
less than 1µA. Comprehensive click-and-pop circuitry
minimizes noise into and out of shutdown or mute.
Operating Modes
Filterless Modulation/PWM Modulation
The MAX9736 features two output modulation schemes,
filterless modulation (MOD = high) or classic PWM (MOD
= low). Maxim’s unique, filterless modulation scheme
eliminates the LC filter required by traditional Class D
amplifiers, reducing component count, conserving
board space, and reducing system cost. Configure for
classic PWM output when using a full LC filter.
Click-and-pop protection does not apply when the output is switching between modulation schemes. To
maintain click-and-pop protection when switching
between output schemes the device must enter shutdown mode and be configured to the new output
scheme before the startup sequence is finished.
Spread-Spectrum Mode
The MAX9736 features a unique, patented spread-spectrum mode that flattens the wideband spectral components, improving EMI radiated by the speaker and
cables. The switching frequency of the Class D amplifier
varies randomly by ±6kHz around the 300kHz center frequency. Instead of a large amount of spectral energy
present at multiples of the switching frequency, the energy is spread over a bandwidth that increases with frequency. Above a few megahertz, the wideband spectrum
looks like white noise for EMI purposes. A proprietary
amplifier topology ensures this white noise does not corrupt the noise floor in the audio bandwidth. The spreadspectrum mode is enabled only with filterless modulation.
Shutdown
The MAX9736 features a shutdown mode that reduces
power consumption and extends battery life in portable
applications. The shutdown mode reduces supply current to 1µA (typ). Drive SHDN high for normal operation. Drive SHDN low to place the device in low-power
shutdown mode. In shutdown mode, the outputs are
high impedance; and the common-mode voltage at the
output decays to zero. In shutdown mode, connect
REGEN low to minimize current consumption.
Mute Function
The MAX9736 features a clickless-and-popless mute
mode. When the device is muted, the signal is attenuated at the speaker and the outputs stop switching. To
mute the MAX9736, drive MUTE low. Hold MUTE low
during system power-up and power-down to ensure
that clicks and pops caused by circuits before the
MAX9736 are suppressed.

EFFICIENCY (%)
The MAX9736A/MAX9736B filterless, stereo Class D
audio power amplifiers offer Class AB performance and
Class D efficiency with minimal board space. The
MAX9736A outputs 2x15W in stereo mode and 30W in
mono mode. The MAX9736B outputs 2x6W in stereo
mode and 12W in mono mode. These devices operate
from an 8V to 28V supply range.
Efficiency
The high efficiency of a Class D amplifier is due to the
switching operation of the output stage transistors. In a
Class D amplifier, the output transistors act as switches
and consume negligible power. Power loss associated
with the Class D output stage is due to the I2R loss of
the MOSFET on-resistance, various switching losses,
and quiescent current overhead.
The theoretical best efficiency of a linear amplifier is 78%
at peak output power. Under typical music reproduction
levels, the efficiency falls below 30%, whereas the
MAX9736 exhibits > 80% efficiency under the same conditions (Figure 1).

MAX9736
Detailed Description
Click-and-Pop Suppression
The MAX9736 features comprehensive click-and-pop
suppression that minimizes audible transients on startup and shutdown. While in shutdown, the H-bridge is in
a high-impedance state.
Mono Configuration
The MAX9736 features a mono mode that allows the
right and left channels to operate in parallel, achieving
up to 30W (MAX9736A) of output power. Apply a logichigh to MONO to enable mono mode. In mono mode,
an audio signal applied to the left channel (INL) is routed to the H-bridges of both channels. Also in mono
mode, the right-channel preamplifier becomes an
uncommitted operational amplifier, allowing for flexibility in system design. Connect OUTL+ to OUTR+ and
OUTL- to OUTR- using heavy PCB traces as close as
possible to the device. Driving MONO low (stereo
mode) while the outputs are wired together in mono
mode can trigger the short-circuit or thermal-overload
protection or both.

Thermal Shutdown
When the die temperature reaches the thermal shutdown threshold, +160°C (typ), the MAX9736 outputs
are disabled. When the die temperature decreases by
30°C, normal operation resumes. Some causes of thermal shutdown are excessively low load impedance,
poor thermal contact between the MAX9736‘s exposed
pad and the PCB, elevated ambient temperature, or
poor PCB layout and assembly.

Filterless Class D Operation
The MAX9736 meets EN55022B EMC radiation limits
with an inexpensive ferrite bead and capacitor filter
when the speaker leads are less than or equal to 1m.
Select a ferrite bead with 100Ω to 600Ω impedance
and rated for at least 2A. The capacitor value varies
based on the ferrite bead chosen and the speaker lead
length. See Figure 3 for the correct connections of
these components.

Figure 4. Output Filter for PWM Mode
When evaluating the MAX9736 with a ferrite bead filter
and resistive load, include a series inductor (68µH for
8Ω load and 33µH for 4Ω load) to model the actual
loudspeaker’s behavior. Omitting the series inductor

reduces the efficiency, the THD+N performance, and
the output power of the MAX9736. When evaluating
with a load speaker, no series inductor is required.
Inductor-Based Output Filters
Some applications use the MAX9736 with a full inductor-/capacitor-based (LC) output filter. Select the PWM
output mode for best audio performance. See Figure 4
for the correct connections of these components.
The load impedance of the speaker determines the filter component selection (see Table 1).
Inductors L1 and L2, and capacitor C1 form the primary output filter. Capacitors C2 and C3 provide commonmode filtering to reduce radiated emissions. Capacitors
C4 and C5, plus resistors R1 and R2, form a Zobel at
the output. A Zobel corrects the output loading to compensate for the rising impedance of the loudspeaker.
Without a Zobel the filter exhibits a peak response near
the cutoff frequency.
Input Capacitor
An input capacitor, CIN, in conjunction with the input
resistor, RIN, of the MAX9736 forms a highpass filter
that removes the DC bias from an incoming signal. The
AC-coupling capacitor allows the amplifier to automatically bias the signal to an optimum DC level. Assuming
zero-source impedance, the -3dB point of the highpass
filter is given by:
f−3dB =
1
2πRINCIN
Choose CIN so that f-3dB is well below the lowest frequency of interest. Use capacitors whose dielectrics have low
voltage coefficients. Capacitors with high-voltage coefficients cause increased distortion close to f-3dB.
COM Capacitor
COM is the output of the internally generated DC bias
voltage. Bypass COM with a 1µF capacitor to AGND.
Component Selection
Gain-Setting Resistors
External feedback resistors set the gain of the
MAX9736. The output stage provides a fixed internal
gain in addition to the externally set input stage gain.
For the MAX9736A, the fixed output-stage gain is set at
17dB (7V/V). For the MAX9736B, the fixed output-stage
gain is set at 13.6dB (4.8V/V). Set overall gain by using
resistors RF and RIN (Figure 5) as follows:
⎛R ⎞
MAX9736A : A V = −7.1⎜ F ⎟ V / V
⎝ RIN ⎠
⎛R ⎞
MAX9736B : A V = −4.8⎜ F ⎟ V / V
⎝ RIN ⎠
where A V is the desired voltage gain. Choose R F
between 10kΩ and 50kΩ.
The FB terminal is an op amp output and the IN terminal is the op amp inverting input, allowing the MAX9736
to be configured as a summing amplifier, a filter, or an
equalizer.
Power Supplies
The MAX9736 features separate supplies for signal and
power portions of the device, allowing for the optimum
combination of headroom, power dissipation, and noise
immunity. The speaker amplifiers are powered from
PVDD and can range from 8V to 28V. The remainder of
the MAX9736 is powered by VS.
Power-Supply Sequencing
During power-up and power-down, VS must not exceed
PVDD. VS greater than PVDD will damage the device.

Internal Regulator
The MAX9736 features an internal 5V regulator, VS,
powered from PVDD. Connect REGEN to SHDN so that
the internal 5V regulator is enabled/disabled when the
MAX9736 is enabled/disabled. If an external 5V supply
is available, drive REGEN low and connect external 5V
supply to VS to minimize the power dissipation of the
MAX9736.
Supply Bypassing,
Layout, and Grounding
Use wide, low-resistance output traces. Current drawn
from the outputs increases as load impedance
decreases. High-output trace resistance decreases the
power delivered to the load. The MAX9736 TQFN package features an exposed thermal paddle on its underside. This paddle lowers the package’s thermal
resistance by providing a heat conduction path from
the die to the PCB. Connect the exposed thermal pad
to PGND by using a large pad and multiple vias to the
PGND plane.
Proper layout and grounding are essential for optimum
performance. Use wide traces for the power-supply
inputs and amplifier outputs to minimize losses due to
parasitic trace resistance. Proper grounding improves
audio performance, minimizes crosstalk between channels, and prevents switching noise from coupling into
the audio signal. Connect PGND and AGND together at
a single point on the PCB. Route all traces that carry
switching transients away from AGND and the
traces/components in the audio signal path.
Bypass each PVDD pin with a 0.1µF capacitor to PGND.
Place the bypass capacitors as close as possible to the
MAX9736. Place a 220µF capacitor between PVDD and
PGND. Bypass VS with a 1µF capacitor to AGND.
