MAXIM MAX9708_13

EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
MAX9708
20W/40W, Filterless, Spread-Spectrum,
Mono/Stereo, Class D Amplifier
General Description
The MAX9708 mono/stereo, Class D audio power amplifier delivers up to 2 x 21W into an 8Ω stereo mode and
1 x 42W into a 4Ω load in mono mode while offering up to
87% efficiency. The MAX9708 provides Class AB amplifier performance with the benefits of Class D efficiency,
eliminating the need for a bulky heatsink and conserving
power. The MAX9708 operates from a single +10V to
+18V supply, driving the load in a BTL configuration.
The MAX9708 offers two modulation schemes: a fixedfrequency modulation (FFM) mode, and a spread-spectrum modulation (SSM) mode that reduces
EMI-radiated emissions. The MAX9708 can be synchronized to an external clock from 600kHz to 1.2MHz. A
synchronized output allows multiple units to be cascaded in the system.
Features include fully differential inputs, comprehensive
click-and-pop suppression, and four selectable-gain settings (22dB, 25dB, 29.5dB, and 36dB). A pin-programmable thermal flag provides seven different thermal
warning thresholds. Short-circuit and thermal-overload
protection prevent the device from being damaged
during a fault condition.
The MAX9708 is available in a 56-pin TQFN (8mm x
8mm x 0.8mm) package and is specified over the
extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

MAX9708
20W/40W, Filterless, Spread-Spectrum,
Mono/Stereo, Class D Amplifier
Detailed Description
The MAX9708 filterless, Class D audio power amplifier
features several improvements to switch-mode amplifier technology. The MAX9708 is a two-channel, stereo
amplifier with 21W output power on each channel. The
amplifier can be configured to output 42W output
power in mono mode. The device offers Class AB performance with Class D efficiency, while occupying minimal board space. A unique filterless modulation
scheme and spread-spectrum switching mode create a
compact, flexible, low-noise, efficient audio power
amplifier. The differential input architecture reduces
common-mode noise pickup, and can be used without
input-coupling capacitors. The device can also be configured as a single-ended input amplifier.
Mono/Stereo Configuration
The MAX9708 features a mono mode that allows the
right and left channels to operate in parallel, achieving
up to 42W of output power. The mono mode is enabled
by applying logic-high to MONO. In this mode, an
audio signal applied to the right channel (INR+/INR-) is
routed to the H-bridge of both channels, while a signal
applied to the left channel (INL+/INL-) is ignored.
OUTL+ must be connected to OUTR+ and OUTL- must
be connected to OUTR- using heavy PC board traces
as close to the device as possible (see Figure 2).
When the device is placed in mono mode on a PC
board with outputs wired together, ensure that the
MONO pin can never be driven low when the device is
enabled. Driving the MONO pin low (stereo mode)
while the outputs are wired together in mono mode may
trigger the short circuit or thermal protection or both,
and may even damage the device.
Efficiency
Efficiency of a Class D amplifier is attributed to the
region of operation of the output stage transistors. In a
Class D amplifier, the output transistors act as currentsteering switches and consume negligible additional
power. Any power loss associated with the Class D output stage is mostly due to the I2R loss of the MOSFET
on-resistance and quiescent current overhead. The
theoretical best efficiency of a linear amplifier is 78%;
however, that efficiency is only exhibited at peak output
12
powers. Under normal operating levels (typical music
reproduction levels), efficiency falls below 30%, whereas the MAX9708 still exhibits 87% efficiency under the
same conditions.
Shutdown
The MAX9708 features a shutdown mode that reduces
power consumption and extends battery life. Driving
SHDN low places the device in low-power (0.1µA) shutdown mode. Connect SHDN to digital high for normal
operation.
Mute Function
The MAX9708 features a clickless/popless mute mode.
When the device is muted, the outputs stop switching,
muting the speaker. Mute only affects the output stage
and does not shut down the device. To mute the
MAX9708, drive MUTE to logic-low. Driving MUTE low
during the power-up/down or shutdown/turn-on cycle
optimizes click-and-pop suppression.
Click-and-Pop Suppression
The MAX9708 features comprehensive click-and-pop
suppression that eliminates audible transients on startup and shutdown. While in shutdown, the H-bridge is
pulled to GND through a 330kΩ resistor. During startup
or power-up, the input amplifiers are muted and an
internal loop sets the modulator bias voltages to the
correct levels, preventing clicks and pops when the Hbridge is subsequently enabled. Following startup, a
soft-start function gradually un-mutes the input amplifiers. The value of the soft-start capacitor has an impact
on the click-and-pop levels as well as startup time.
Thermal Sensor
The MAX9708 features an on-chip temperature sensor
that monitors the die temperature. When the junction
temperature exceeds a programmed level, TEMP is
pulled low. This flags the user to reduce power or shut
down the device. TEMP may be connected to SS or
MUTE for automatic shutdown during overheating. If
TEMP is connected to MUTE, during thermal-protection
mode, the audio is muted and the device is in mute
mode. If TEMP is connected to SS, during thermal-protection mode, the device is shut down but the thermal
sensor is still active.
Maxim Integrated

TEMP returns high once the junction temperature cools
below the set threshold minus the thermal hysteresis. If
TEMP is connected to either MUTE or SS, the audio
output resumes. The temperature threshold is set by
the TH0, TH1, and TH2 inputs as shown in Table 1. An
RC filter may be used to eliminate any transient at the
TEMP output as shown in Figure 3.

The MAX9708 features four pin-selectable gain settings;

Synchronous Switching Mode
The MAX9708 SYNCIN input allows the Class D amplifier to switch at a frequency defined by an external clock
frequency. Synchronizing the amplifier with an external
clock source may confine the switching frequency to a
less sensitive band. The external clock frequency range
is from 600kHz to 1.2MHz and can have any duty cycle,
but the minimum pulse must be greater than 100ns.
SYNCOUT is an open-drain clock output for synchronizing external circuitry. Its frequency is four times the
amplifier’s switching frequency, and it is active in either
internal or external oscillator mode.

Spread-Spectrum Modulation (SSM) Mode
The MAX9708 features a unique spread-spectrum
(SSM) mode that flattens the wideband spectral components, improving EMI emissions that may be radiated
by the speaker and cables. This mode is enabled by
setting FS1 = FS2 = high. In SSM mode, the switching
frequency varies randomly by ±4% around the center
frequency (200kHz). The modulation scheme remains
the same, but the period of the triangle waveform
changes from cycle to cycle. Instead of a large amount
of spectral energy present at multiples of the switching
frequency, the energy is now spread over a bandwidth
that increases with frequency. Above a few megahertz,
the wideband spectrum looks like white noise for EMI
purposes. SSM mode reduces EMI compared to fixedfrequency mode. This can also help to randomize visual artifacts caused by radiated or supply-borne
interference in displays.

Operating Modes
Fixed-Frequency Modulation (FFM) Mode
The MAX9708 features three switching frequencies in
the FFM mode (Table 3). In this mode, the frequency
spectrum of the Class D output consists of the fundamental switching frequency and its associated harmonics (see the Wideband Output Spectrum graph in the
Typical Operating Characteristics). Select one of the
three fixed switching frequencies such that the harmonics do not fall in a sensitive band. The switching frequency can be changed at any time without affecting
audio reproduction.

Linear Regulator (REG)
The supply voltage range for the MAX9708 is from 10V
to 18V to achieve high-output power. An internal linear
regulator reduces this voltage to 6.3V for use with
small-signal and digital circuitry that does not require a
high-voltage supply. Bypass a 0.01µF capacitor from
REG to GND.

Logic Inputs
All of the digital logic inputs and output have an
absolute maximum rating of +12V. If the MAX9708 is
operating with a supply voltage between 10V and 12V,
digital inputs can be connected to PV DD or V DD. If
PVDD and VDD are greater than 12V, digital inputs and
outputs must connected to a digital system supply
lower than 12V.
Input Amplifier
Differential Input
The MAX9708 features a differential input structure,
making them compatible with many CODECs, and
offering improved noise immunity over a single-ended
input amplifier. In devices such as flat-panel displays,
noisy digital signals can be picked up by the amplifier’s
inputs. These signals appear at the amplifiers’ inputs as
common-mode noise. A differential input amplifier
amplifies only the difference of the two inputs, while any
signal common to both inputs is attenuated.
Single-Ended Input
The MAX9708 can be configured as a single-ended
input amplifier by capacitively coupling either input to
GND and driving the other input (Figure 4).
Component Selection
Input Filter
An input capacitor, CIN, in conjunction with the input
impedance of the MAX9708, forms a highpass filter that
removes the DC bias from an incoming signal. The ACcoupling 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:
f−3dB =
14
1
2π RIN CIN
1μF
Figure 4. Single-Ended Input Connections
Choose CIN so 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 with dielectrics that have low-voltage coefficients,
such as tantalum or aluminum electrolytic. Capacitors
with high-voltage coefficients, such as ceramics, may
result in increased distortion at low frequencies.
Output Filter
The MAX9708 does not require an output filter.
However, output filtering can be used if a design is failing radiated emissions due to board layout or cable
length, or the circuit is near EMI-sensitive devices.
Refer to the MAX9708 Evaluation Kit for suggested filter
topologies. The tuning and component selection of the
filter should be optimized for the load. A purely resistor
load (8Ω) used for lab testing will require different components than a real, complex load-speaker load.
Charge-Pump Capacitor Selection
The MAX9708 has an internal charge-pump converter
that produces a voltage level for internal circuitry. It
requires a flying capacitor (C1) and a holding capacitor
(C2). Use capacitors with an ESR less than 100mΩ for
optimum performance. Low-ESR ceramic capacitors
minimize the output resistance of the charge pump. For
best performance over the extended temperature
range, select capacitors with an X7R dielectric. The
capacitors’ voltage rating must be greater than 36V.

Sharing Input Sources
In certain systems, a single audio source can be
shared by multiple devices (speaker and headphone
amplifiers). When sharing inputs, it is common to mute
the unused device, rather than completely shutting it
down, preventing the unused device inputs from distorting the input signal. Mute the MAX9708 by driving
MUTE low. Driving MUTE low turns off the Class D output stage, but does not affect the input bias levels of
the MAX9708.
Frequency Synchronization
The MAX9708 outputs up to 21W on each channel in
stereo mode. If higher output power or a 2.1 solution is
needed, two MAX9708s can be used. Each MAX9708
is synchronized by connecting SYNCOUT from the first
MAX9708 to SYNCIN of the second MAX9708 (see
Figure 5).
Supply Bypassing/Layout
Proper power-supply bypassing ensures low-distortion
operation. For optimum performance, bypass PVDD to
PGND with a 0.1µF capacitor as close to each PVDD
pin as possible. A low-impedance, high-current powersupply connection to PVDD is assumed. Additional bulk
capacitance should be added as required depending
on the application and power-supply characteristics.
GND and PGND should be star-connected to system
ground. For the TQFN package, solder the exposed
paddle (EP) to the ground plane using multiple-plated
through-hole vias. The exposed paddle must be soldered to the ground plane for rated power dissipation
and good ground return. Use wider PC board traces to
lower the parasitic resistance for the high-power output
pins (OUTR+, OUTR-, OUTL+, OUTL-). Refer to the
MAX9708 Evaluation Kit for layout guidance.
Thermal Considerations
Class D amplifiers provide much better efficiency and
thermal performance than a comparable Class AB
amplifier. However, the system’s thermal performance
must be considered with realistic expectations along
with its many parameters.
Maxim Integrated
Continuous Sine Wave vs. Music
When a Class D amplifier is evaluated in the lab, often
a continuous sine wave is used as the signal source.
While this is convenient for measurement purposes, it
represents a worst-case scenario for thermal loading
on the amplifier. It is not uncommon for a Class D
amplifier to enter thermal shutdown if driven near maximum output power with a continuous sine wave. The
PC board must be optimized for best dissipation (see
the PC Board Thermal Considerations section).
Audio content, both music and voice, has a much lower
RMS value relative to its peak output power. Therefore,
while an audio signal may reach similar peaks as a
continuous sine wave, the actual thermal impact on the
Class D amplifier is highly reduced. If the thermal performance of a system is being evaluated, it is important
to use actual audio signals instead of sine waves for
testing. If sine waves must be used, the thermal performance will be less than the system’s actual capability
for real music or voice.
PC Board Thermal Considerations
The exposed pad is the primary route for conducting
heat away from the IC. With a bottom-side exposed
pad, the PC board and its copper becomes the primary
heatsink for the Class D amplifier. Solder the exposed
pad to a copper polygon. Add as much copper as possible from this polygon to any adjacent pin on the Class
D amplifier as well as to any adjacent components, provided these connections are at the same potential.
These copper paths must be as wide as possible. Each
of these paths contributes to the overall thermal capabilities of the system.
The copper polygon to which the exposed pad is
attached should have multiple vias to the opposite side
of the PC board, where they connect to another copper
polygon. Make this polygon as large as possible within
the system’s constraints for signal routing.
Additional improvements are possible if all the traces
from the device are made as wide as possible.
Although the IC pins are not the primary thermal path
out of the package, they do provide a small amount.
The total improvement would not exceed approximately
10%, but it could make the difference between acceptable performance and thermal problems.

Auxiliary Heatsinking
If operating in higher ambient temperatures, it is possible
to improve the thermal performance of a PC board with
the addition of an external heatsink. The thermal resistance to this heatsink must be kept as low as possible to
maximize its performance. With a bottom-side exposed
pad, the lowest resistance thermal path is on the bottom
of the PC board. The topside of the IC is not a significant
thermal path for the device, and therefore is not a costeffective location for a heatsink. If an LC filter is used in
the design, placing the inductor in close proximity to the
IC can help draw heat away from the MAX9708.
Thermal Calculations
The die temperature of a Class D amplifier can be estimated with some basic calculations. For example, the
die temperature is calculated for the below conditions:
• TA = +40°C
• POUT = 16W
• Efficiency (η) = 87%
• θJA = 21°C/W
First, the Class D amplifier’s power dissipation must be
calculated:
PDISS =
16W
POUT
− POUT =
− 16W = 2.4W
η
0.87
Then the power dissipation is used to calculate the die
temperature, TC, as follows:
TC = TA + PDISS × θJA = 40°C + 24W × 21°C / W = 90.4°C
Load Impedance
The on-resistance of the MOSFET output stage in Class
D amplifiers affects both the efficiency and the peak-current capability. Reducing the peak current into the load
reduces the I2R losses in the MOSFETs, which increases
efficiency. To keep the peak currents lower, choose the
highest impedance speaker that can still deliver the
desired output power within the voltage swing limits of
the Class D amplifier and its supply voltage.
Although most loudspeakers fall either 4Ω or 8Ω, there
are other impedances available that can provide a
more thermally efficient solution.
16
Another consideration is the load impedance across
the audio frequency band. A loudspeaker is a complex
electro-mechanical system with a variety of resonance.
In other words, an 8Ω speaker usually has 8Ω impedance within a very narrow range. This often extends
well below 8Ω, reducing the thermal efficiency below
what is expected. This lower-than-expected impedance
can be further reduced when a crossover network is
used in a multidriver audio system.
Systems Application Circuit
The MAX9708 can be configured into multiple amplifier
systems. One concept is a 2.1 audio system (Figure 5)
where a stereo audio source is split into three channels.
The left- and right-channel inputs are highpass filtered
to remove the bass content, and then amplified by the
MAX9708 in stereo mode. Also, the left- and right-channel inputs are summed together and lowpass filtered to
remove the high-frequency content, then amplified by a
second MAX9708 in mono mode.
The conceptual drawing of Figure 5 can be applied to
either single-ended or differential systems. Figure 6
illustrates the circuitry required to implement a fully
differential filtering system. By maintaining a fully differential path, the signal-to-noise ratio remains uncompromised and noise pickup is kept very low. However,
keeping a fully differential signal path results in almost
twice the component count, and therefore performance
must be weighed against cost and size.
The highpass and lowpass filters should have different
cutoff frequencies to ensure an equal power response
at the crossover frequency. The filters should be at
-6dB amplitude at the crossover frequency, which is
known as a Linkwitz-Riley alignment. In the example
circuit of Figure 6, the -3dB cutoff frequency for the
highpass filters is 250Hz, and the -3dB cutoff frequency
for the lowpass filter is 160Hz. Both the highpass filters
and the lowpass filters are at a -6dB amplitude at
approximately 200Hz. If the filters were to have the
same -3dB cutoff frequency, a measurement of sound
pressure level (SPL) vs. frequency would have a peak
at the crossover frequency.
The circuit in Figure 6 uses inverting amplifiers for their
ease in biasing. Note the phase labeling at the outputs
has been reversed. The resistors should be 1% or better
in tolerance and the capacitors 5% tolerance or better.

Mismatch in the components can cause discrepancies
between the nominal transfer function and actual performance. Also, the mismatch of the input resistors (R15,
R17, R19, and R21 in Figure 6) of the summing amplifier
and lowpass filter will cause some high-frequency sound
to be sent to the subwoofer.
The circuit in Figure 6 drives a pair of MAX9708 devices
similar to the circuit in Figure 5. The inputs to the
MAX9708 still require AC-coupling to prevent compromising the click-and-pop performance of the MAX9708.
