3W Mono/Stereo BTL Audio Power Amplifiers
with Shutdown
The MAX9710/MAX9711 are stereo/mono 3W bridge-tied
load (BTL) audio power amplifiers. These devices are
PC99/01 compliant, operate from a single 4.5V to 5.5V
supply, and feature an industry-leading 100dB PSRR,
which allows these devices to operate from noisy supplies without additional, costly power-supply conditioning. An ultra-low 0.005% THD+N ensures clean,
low-distortion amplification of the audio signal while
click-and-pop suppression eliminates audible transients
on power and shutdown cycles. Power-saving features
include low 2mV V OS (minimizing DC current drain
through the speakers), low 7mA supply current, and a
0.5µA shutdown mode. A MUTE function allows the outputs to be quickly enabled or disabled.
These devices include thermal overload protection, are
specified over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range, and are supplied in thermally efficient packages. The MAX9710 is available in a 20-pin thin QFN
package (5mm ✕ 5mm ✕ 0.8mm). The MAX9711 is
available in a 12-pin thin QFN package (4mm ✕ 4mm ✕
0.8mm).

3W Mono/Stereo BTL Audio Power Amplifiers
with Shutdown
The MAX9710/MAX9711 are 3W BTL speaker amplifiers. The MAX9710 is a stereo speaker amplifier, while
the MAX9711 is a mono speaker amplifier. Both
devices feature a low-power shutdown mode, MUTE
mode, and comprehensive click-and-pop suppression.
These devices consist of high output-current op amps
configured as BTL amplifiers (see Functional
Diagrams). The device gain is set by RF and RIN.
VOUT(P-P)
+1
2 x VOUT(P-P)
VOUT(P-P)
-1
BIAS
These devices operate from a single 5V supply and
feature an internally generated, power-supply-independent, common-mode bias voltage of 2.5V referenced to
ground. BIAS provides both click-and-pop suppression
and sets the DC bias level for the audio outputs. BIAS
is internally connected to the noninverting input of each
speaker amplifier (see Functional Diagrams). Choose
the value of the bypass capacitor as described in the
BIAS Capacitor section. No external load should be
applied to BIAS. Any load lowers the BIAS voltage,
affecting the overall performance of the device.
Shutdown
The MAX9710/MAX9711 feature a 0.5µA low-power shutdown mode that reduces quiescent current consumption. Pulling SHDN low disables the device’s bias
circuitry, the amplifier outputs are actively pulled low,
and BIAS is driven to GND. Connect SHDN to VDD for
normal operation.
MUTE
Both devices feature a clickless/popless MUTE mode.
When the device is muted, the input disconnects from
the amplifier. MUTE only affects the power amplifiers
and does not shut down the device. Drive MUTE high to
mute the device. Drive MUTE low for normal operation.
Figure 1. Bridge-Tied Load Configuration
Applications Information
BTL Amplifier
The MAX9710/MAX9711 are designed to drive a load
differentially, a configuration referred to as BTL. 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 singleended amplifier under similar conditions. Thus, the differential gain of the device is twice the closed-loop gain
of the input amplifier. The effective gain is given by:
A VD = 2 ×
RF
RIN
Substituting 2 x VOUT(P-P) for VOUT(P-P) into the following equations yields four times the output power due to
doubling of the output voltage:
VRMS =
VOUT(P−P)
2 2
Click-and-Pop Suppression
The MAX9710/MAX9711 feature Maxim’s comprehensive click-and-pop suppression. During startup, the
common-mode bias voltage of the amplifiers slowly
ramps to the DC bias point using an S-shaped waveform. When entering shutdown, the amplifier outputs are
actively driven low simultaneously. This scheme minimizes the energy present in the audio band.
For optimum click-and-pop suppression, choose:
RIN x CIN < RBIAS x CBIAS
2
V
POUT = RMS
RL
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.
where RBIAS = 50kΩ.

MAX9710/MAX9711
Detailed Description
MAX9710/MAX9711
3W Mono/Stereo BTL Audio Power Amplifiers
with Shutdown
Power Dissipation and Heat Sinking
Under normal operating conditions, the MAX9710/
MAX9711 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 Absolute Maximum Ratings section. For
example, θ JA of the 20-pin thin QFN package is
48.1°C/W.
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 VDD and load is
given by the following equation:
PDISS(MAX) =
2VDD2
π 2RL
If the power dissipation for a given application exceeds
the maximum allowed for a given package, either reduce
VDD, increase load impedance, decrease the ambient
temperature, or add heat sinking to the device (see
Layout and Grounding section). Large output, supply,
and ground PC board traces improve the maximum
power dissipation in the package.
Thermal-overload protection limits total power dissipation in the MAX9710/MAX9711. 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. A pulsing output under continuous
thermal-overload conditions results as the device heats
and cools.
Component Selection
Gain-Setting Resistors
External feedback components set the gain of both
devices. Resistors RF and RIN (Functional Diagrams)
set the gain of the amplifier as follows:
AVD = 2 ×
8
RF
RIN
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:
f −3dB =
1
2πRINCIN
For optimum click-and-pop suppression, choose:
RIN x CIN < RBIAS x CBIAS
where RBIAS = 50kΩ.
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 highvoltage coefficients, such as ceramics, may result in an
increase of distortion at low frequencies.

BIAS is the output of the internally generated 2.5VDC
bias voltage. The BIAS bypass capacitor, C BIAS ,
improves PSRR and THD+N by reducing power supply
and other noise sources at the common-mode bias
node, and also generates the clickless/popless startup
DC bias waveform for the speaker amplifiers. Bypass
BIAS with a 1µF capacitor to GND. Smaller values of
CBIAS produce faster tON/tOFF times but may result in
increased click/pop levels.
Supply Bypassing
Proper power-supply bypassing ensures low-noise,
low-distortion performance. Place a 0.1µF ceramic
capacitor from V DD to PGND. Add additional bulk
capacitance as required by the application. Locate the
bypass capacitor as close to the device as possible.
Piezoelectric Speaker Driver
Low-profile piezoelectric speakers can provide quality
sound for portable electronics. However, piezoelectric
speakers typically require large voltage swings
(>8V P-P ) across the speaker element to produce
audible sound pressure levels. The MAX9711 can be
configured to drive a piezoelectric speaker with up to
10VP-P while operating from a single 5V supply.
Figure 2 shows the THD+N of the MAX9711 driving a
piezoelectric speaker. Note that as frequency increases, the THD+N increases. This is due to the capacitive
nature of the piezoelectric speaker; as frequency
increases, the speaker impedance decreases, resulting
in a larger current draw from the amplifier.

The capacitive nature of the piezoelectric speaker may
cause the MAX9711 to become unstable. A simple inductor/resistor network in series with the speaker isolates the
speaker capacitance from the driver and ensures that the
device output sees a resistive load of about 10Ω at high
frequency, thereby maintaining stability (Figure 3).

Layout and Grounding
Good PC board layout is essential for optimizing performance. Use large traces for the power-supply inputs and
amplifier outputs to minimize losses due to parasitic
trace resistance and route heat away from the device.
Good grounding improves audio performance,
minimizes crosstalk between channels, and prevents any
digital switching noise from coupling into the audio
signal.
The MAX9710/MAX9711 thin QFN package features an
exposed thermal pad on the underside. This pad lowers the thermal resistance of the package by providing
a direct-heat conduction path from the die to the printed circuit board. Connect the exposed pad to the
ground plane using multiple vias, if required. For optimum performance, connect to the ground planes as
shown in Figure 4.
