MAX9765/MAX9766/MAX9767
General Description
The MAX9765/MAX9766/MAX9767 family combines
speaker, headphone, and microphone amplifiers, all in
a small QFN package. The MAX9765 is targeted at
stereo speaker playback applications and includes a
stereo bridge-tied load (BTL) speaker amp, stereo
headphone amp, single-ended output mic amp, input
MUX, and I2C™ control. The MAX9766 is targeted at
mono speaker playback applications and includes a
mono BTL speaker amp, stereo headphone amp, differential output mic amp, input MUX, and I2C control. The
MAX9767 is targeted at applications that do not require
a headphone amp and includes a stereo BTL speaker
amp, differential output mic amp, and parallel control.
These devices operate from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply.
A high 95dB PSRR allows these devices to operate from
noisy supplies without additional power conditioning. An
ultra-low 0.003% THD+N ensures clean, low distortion
amplification of the audio signal. Patented click-and-pop
suppression eliminates audible transients on power and
shutdown cycles.
In speaker mode, the amplifiers can deliver up to
750mW of continuous average power into a 4Ω load. In
headphone mode, the amplifier can deliver up to 65mW
of continuous average power into a 16Ω load. The gain
of the amplifiers is externally set, allowing maximum
flexibility in optimizing output levels for a given load.
The MAX9765/MAX9766 also feature a 2:1 input multiplexer, allowing multiple audio sources to be selected.
The various functions are controlled by either an I2Ccompatible (MAX9765/MAX9766) or simple parallel
control interface (MAX9767).
All devices include two low-noise microphone preamps, a differential amp for internal microphones, and
a single-ended amplifier for additional external microphones. A microphone bias output is provided, reducing external component count.
The MAX9765/MAX9766/MAX9767 are available in a
thermally efficient 32-pin thin QFN package (5mm ✕
5mm ✕ 0.8mm). All devices have short-circuit and
thermal-overload protection (OVP) and are specified
over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Detailed Description
The MAX9765/MAX9766/MAX9767 feature 750mW BTL
speaker amplifiers, 65mW headphone amplifiers, input
multiplexers, headphone sensing, differential and single-ended input microphone amplifiers, and comprehensive click-and-pop suppression. The MAX9765/
MAX9766 are controlled through an I2C-compatible, 2wire serial interface. The MAX9767 is controlled
through three logic inputs: MUTE, SHDN, INT (see
Selector Guide). The MAX9765 family features exceptional PSRR (95dB at 1kHz), allowing these devices to
operate from noisy digital supplies without the need for
a linear regulator.
The speaker amplifiers use a BTL configuration. The
MAX9765/MAX9766 main amplifiers are composed of
an input amplifier and an output amplifier. Resistor RIN
sets the input amplifier’s gain, and resistor RF sets the
output amplifier’s gain. The output of these two amplifiers serves as the input to a slave amplifier configured
as an inverting unity-gain follower. This results in two
outputs, identical in magnitude, but 180° out of phase.
The overall gain of the speaker amplifiers is twice the
product of the two amplifier gains (see Gain-Setting
Resistor section). A unique feature of this architecture
is that there is no phase inversion from input to output.
The MAX9767 does not use a two-stage input amplifier
and therefore has phase inversion from input to output.
When configured as a headphone (single-ended) amplifier, the slave amplifier is disabled, muting the speaker
and the main amplifier drives the headphone. The
MAX9765/MAX9766/MAX9767 can deliver 700mW of
16
continuous average power into a 4Ω load with less than
1% THD+N in speaker mode. The MAX9765/MAX9766
can deliver 70mW of continuous average power into a
16Ω load with less than 1% THD+N in headphone
mode. The speaker amplifiers also feature thermaloverload and short-circuit current protection.
All devices feature microphone amplifiers with both differential and single-ended inputs. Differential input is
intended for use with internal microphones. Singleended input is intended for use with external (auxiliary)
microphones. The differential input configuration is particularly effective when layout constraints force the
microphone amplifier to be physically remote from the
ECM microphone and/or the rest of the audio circuitry.
The MAX9766/MAX9767 feature a complementary output, creating an ideal interface with CODECs and other
devices with differential inputs. All devices also feature
an internal microphone bias generator.
Amplifier Common-Mode Bias
These devices feature an internally generated common-mode bias voltage of 1.5V referenced to GND.
BIAS provides both click-and-pop suppression and
sets the DC bias level for the audio signal. BIAS is internally connected to the noninverting input of each
speaker amplifier (see Typical Application Circuit).
Choose the value of the bypass capacitor as described
in the BIAS Capacitor section.
Input Multiplexer
The MAX9765/MAX9766 feature a 2:1 input multiplexer
on the front end of each amplifier. The multiplexer is
controlled by bit 1 in the control register. A logic low

IN_2
Figure 1. Using the Input Multiplexer for Gain Setting
selects input IN_1 and a logic high selects input IN_2.
Both right- and left-channel multiplexers are controlled
by the same input.
The input multiplexer can also be used to further
expand the number of gain options available from the
MAX9765/MAX9766. Connect the audio source to the
device through two different input resistors for multiple
gain configurations (Figure 1). Additionally, the input
multiplexer allows a speaker equalization network to be
switched into the speaker signal path. This is typically
useful in optimizing acoustic response from speakers
with small physical dimensions.
Mono Mode
The mono MAX9766 incorporates a mixer/attenuator
(see Functional Diagram). In speaker (mono) mode, the
mixer/attenuator combines the two stereo inputs (INL_
and INR_) and attenuates the resultant signal by a factor of 2. This allows for full reproduction of a stereo signal through a single speaker while maintaining optimum
headroom. The resistor connected between GAINM
and OUTL+ sets the device gain in speaker mode. This
allows the speaker amplifier to have a different gain
and feedback network from the headphone amplifier.
Headphone Sense Disable Input
The headphone sensing function can be disabled by
the HPS_D bit (MAX9765/MAX9766). HPS_D bit determines whether the device is in automatic-detection
mode, or fixed-mode operation.
Headphone Sense Input (HPS)
When the MAX9765/MAX9766 are in automatic headphone-detection mode, the state of the headphone
sense input (HPS) determines the operating mode of
the device. A voltage on HPS less than 0.7 ✕ VDD sets
the device to speaker mode. A voltage greater than 0.9
✕ VDD disables the inverting bridge amplifier (OUT_-),
which mutes the speaker amplifier and sets the device
into headphone mode.
Shutdown
The MAX9765/MAX9766/MAX9767 feature a 5µA, lowpower shutdown mode that reduces quiescent current
consumption and extends battery life. The drive and
microphone amplifiers and the bias circuitry are disabled, the amplifier outputs (OUT_/MIC_) go high
impedance, and BIAS and MICBIAS are driven to GND.
The digital section of the MAX9765/MAX9766 remains
active when the device is shut down through the interface. A logic high on bit 0 of the SHDN register places
the MAX9765/MAX9766 in shutdown. A logic low
enables the device. A logic low on the SHDN input
places the devices into shutdown mode, disables the
interface, and resets the I2C registers to a default state.
A logic high on SHDN enables the device. A logic high
on SHDN enables the devices.
MUTE
All devices feature a mute mode. When the device is
muted, the input is disconnected from the amplifiers.
MUTE only affects the power amplifiers, and does not
shut down the device. The MAX9765/MAX9766 MUTE
mode is selected by writing to the MUTE register (see
Command Byte Definitions). The left and right channels
can be independently muted. The MAX9767 features
an active-high MUTE input that mutes both channels.
INT/EXT
The MAX9767 microphone amplifier input configuration
is controlled by the INT/EXT input. A logic low In
INT/EXT selects internal (differential) microphone
mode. A logic high selects external (single-ended)
mode.
Click-and-Pop Suppression
The MAX9765/MAX9766/MAX9767 feature Maxim’s
patented comprehensive click-and-pop suppression.
During startup and shutdown, the common-mode bias
voltage of the amplifiers is slowly ramped to and from
the DC bias point using an S-shaped waveform. In
headphone mode, this waveform shapes the frequency
spectrum, minimizing the amount of audible compo-

15kΩ
Connect HPS to the control pin of a 3-wire headphone
jack as shown in Figure 2. With no headphone present,
the resistive voltage-divider created by R1 and R2 sets
the voltage on HPS to 44mV, setting the device to speaker mode. When a headphone plug is inserted into the
jack, the control pin is disconnected from the tip contact,
and HPS is pulled to VDD through R1, setting the device
into headphone mode. Place a resistor in series with the
control pin and HPS (R3) to prevent any audio signal
from coupling into HPS when the device is in speaker
mode.
MAX9765/MAX9766/MAX9767
750mW Audio Amplifiers with Headphone Amp,

nents present at the headphone. In speaker mode, the
BTL amplifiers start up in the same fashion as in headphone mode. When entering shutdown, both amplifier
outputs ramp to GND quickly and simultaneously. The
devices can also be connected to a standby power
source that ensures that the device undergoes its full
shutdown cycle even after power has been removed.
The value of the capacitor on the BIAS pin affects the
click-and-pop energy. For optimum click/pop performance, use a 1µF capacitor.
Standby Power Supply (SVDD)
The MAX9765/MAX9766/MAX9767 feature a patented
system that provides clickless power-down when
power is removed from the device. SVDD is an optional
secondary supply that powers the device through its
shutdown cycle when V DD is removed. During this
cycle, the amplifier output DC level slowly ramps to
GND, ensuring clickless power-down. If clickless
power-down is required, connect SVDD to either a secondary power supply that is always on, or connect a
reservoir capacitor from SVDD to GND. SVDD does not
need to be connected to either a secondary power
supply or reservoir capacitor for normal device operation. If click-and-pop suppression during power-down
is not required, connect SVDD to VDD directly.
The clickless power-down cycle only occurs when the
device is in headphone mode. The speaker mode is
inherently clickless, the differential architecture cancels
the DC shift across the speaker. The MAX9765/
MAX9766/MAX9767 BTL outputs are pulled to GND
quickly and simultaneously, resulting in no audible
components. If the MAX9765/MAX9766/MAX9767 are
only used as speaker amplifiers, then reservoir capacitors or secondary supplies are not necessary.
When using a reservoir capacitor, a 220µF capacitor
provides optimum charge storage for the shutdown
cycle for all conditions. If a smaller reservoir capacitor
is desired, decrease the size of CBIAS. A smaller CBIAS
causes the output DC level to decay at a faster rate,
increasing the audible content at the speaker, but
reducing the duration of the shutdown cycle.
Digital Interface
The MAX9765/MAX9766 feature an I2C/SMBus-compatible 2-wire serial interface consisting of a serial data
line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). SDA and SCL
facilitate bidirectional communication between the
MAX9765/MAX9766 and the master at clock rates up to
400kHz. Figure 3 shows the 2-wire interface timing diagram. The MAX9765/MAX9766 are transmit/receive
slave-only devices, relying upon a master to generate a
clock signal. The master (typically a microcontroller) ini18

tiates data transfer on the bus and generates SCL to
permit that transfer.
A master device communicates to the MAX9765/
MAX9766 by transmitting the proper address followed
by a command and/or data words. Each transmit
sequence is framed by a START (S) or REPEATED
START (Sr) condition and a STOP (P) condition. Each
word transmitted over the bus is 8 bits long and is
always followed by an acknowledge clock pulse.
The MAX9765/MAX9766 SDA and SCL amplifiers are
open-drain outputs requiring a pullup resistor to generate a logic-high voltage. Series resistors in line with
SDA and SCL are optional. These series resistors protect the input stages of the devices from high-voltage
spikes on the bus lines, and minimize crosstalk and
undershoot of the bus signals.
Bit Transfer
One data bit is transferred during each SCL clock
cycle. The data on SDA must remain stable during the
high period of the SCL clock pulse. Changes in SDA
while SCL is high are control signals (see START and
STOP Conditions section). SDA and SCL idle high
when the I2C bus is not busy.
START and STOP Conditions
When the serial interface is inactive, SDA and SCL idle
high. A master device initiates communication by issuing a START condition. A START condition is a high-tolow transition on SDA with SCL high. A STOP condition
is a low-to-high transition on SDA while SCL is high
(Figure 4). A START condition from the master signals
the beginning of a transmission to the MAX9765/
MAX9766. The master terminates transmission by issuing the STOP condition; this frees the bus. If a REPEATED START condition is generated instead of a STOP
condition, the bus remains active. When a STOP condition or incorrect address is detected, the

Figure 3. 2-Wire Serial Interface Timing Diagram
MAX9765/MAX9766 internally disconnects SCL from
the serial interface until the next START condition, minimizing digital noise and feedthrough.
Early STOP Conditions
The MAX9765/MAX9766 recognize a STOP condition at
any point during the transmission except if a STOP condition occurs in the same high pulse as a START condition (Figure 5). This condition is not a legal I2C format;
at least one clock pulse must separate any START and
STOP conditions.
REPEATED START Conditions
A REPEATED START (S r ) condition may indicate a
change of data direction on the bus. Such a change
occurs when a command word is required to initiate a
read operation. S r may also be used when the bus
master is writing to several I2C devices and does not
want to relinquish control of the bus. The MAX9765/
MAX9766 serial interface supports continuous write
operations with or without an Sr condition separating
them. Continuous read operations require Sr conditions
because of the change in direction of data flow.
Acknowledge Bit (ACK)
The acknowledge bit (ACK) is the ninth bit attached to
any 8-bit data word. The receiving device always generates ACK. The MAX9765/MAX9766 generate an ACK
when receiving an address or data by pulling SDA low
during the night clock period. When transmitting data,
the MAX9765/MAX9766 wait for the receiving device to
generate an ACK. Monitoring ACK allows for detection
of unsuccessful data transfers. An unsuccessful data
transfer occurs if a receiving device is busy or if a system fault has occurred. In the event of an unsuccessful
S

data transfer, the bus master should reattempt communication at a later time.
Slave Address
The bus master initiates communication with a slave
device by issuing a START condition followed by a 7-bit
slave address (Figure 6). When idle, the MAX9765/
MAX9766 wait for a START condition followed by its
slave address. The serial interface compares each
address value bit-by-bit, allowing the interface to power
down immediately if an incorrect address is detected.
The LSB of the address word is the Read/Write (R/W)
bit. R/W indicates whether the master is writing to or
reading from the MAX9765/MAX9766 (R/W = 0 selects
the write condition, R/W = 1 selects the read condition).
After receiving the proper address, the MAX9765/
MAX9766 issue an ACK by pulling SDA low for one
clock cycle.
The MAX9765 has a factory-/user-programmed
address (Table 1). Address bits A6–A1 are preset,
while A0 is set by ADD. Connecting ADD to GND sets
A0 = 0. Connecting ADD to V DD sets A0 = 1. The

Write Data Format
There are three registers that configure the
MAX9765/MAX9766: the MUTE register, SHDN register,
and control register. In write data mode (R/W = 0), the
register address and data byte follow the device
address (Figure 7).
MUTE Register
The MUTE register (01hex) is a read/write register that
sets the MUTE status of the device. Bit 3 (MUTEL) of
the MUTE register controls the left channel, bit 4
(MUTER) controls the right channel. A logic high mutes
the respective channel, a logic low brings the channel
out of mute.
SHDN Register
The SHDN register (02hex) is a read/write register that
controls the power-up state of the device. A logic high

I2C Compatibility
The MAX9765/MAX9766 are compatible with existing I2C
systems. SCL and SDA are high-impedance inputs; SDA
has an open drain that pulls the data line low during the
ninth clock pulse. The communication protocol supports
the standard I2C 8-bit communications. The general call
address is ignored. The MAX9765/MAX9766 addresses
are compatible with the 7-bit I2C addressing protocol
only. No 10-bit formats are supported.
Applications Information
BTL Amplifiers
The MAX9765/MAX9766/MAX9767 feature speaker
amplifiers designed to drive a load differentially, a configuration referred to as bridge-tied load (BTL). The BTL
configuration (Figure 8) 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
devices’ differential gain is twice the closed-loop gain
of the input amplifier. The effective gain is given by:
R
A VD = 2 × F
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:
22

Since the outputs are differential, 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.
Single-Ended Headphone Amplifier
The MAX9765/MAX9766 can be configured as singleended headphone amplifiers through software or by
sensing the presence of a headphone plug (HPS). In
headphone mode, the inverting output of the BTL
amplifier is disabled, muting the speaker. The gain is
1/2 that of the device in speaker mode, and the output
power is reduced by a factor of 4.
In headphone mode, the load must be capacitively
coupled to the device, blocking the DC bias voltage
from the load (see Typical Application Circuit and
Output-Coupling Capacitor section).
Microphone Amplifiers
Differential Microphone Amplifier
The MAX9765/MAX9766/MAX9767 feature a low-noise,
high CMRR, differential input microphone amplifier. The
differential input structure is almost essential in noisy
digital systems where amplification of low-amplitude
analog signals is necessary such as notebooks and
PDAs. When properly employed, the differential input
architecture offers the following advantages:

Common-Mode Rejection Ratio
Common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) refers to an
amplifier’s ability to reject any signal applied equally to
both inputs. In the case of amplifying a low-level microphone signal in noisy digital environments, CMRR is a
key figure of merit. In audio circuits, CMRR is given by:
VOUT(P-P)
-1
Figure 8. Bridge-Tied Load Configuration

V
CMRR(dB) = DM = INDIFF
A CM ∆VINCM
where ADM is the differential gain, ACM is the commonmode gain, ∆VINCM is the change in input commonmode voltage (IN+ and IN- connected together), and
VINDIFF is the differential input voltage.
Typical input voltage magnitudes are small enough
such that the output is not clipped in either differential
or common-mode application. The MAX9765/MAX9766/
MAX9767 differential microphone amplifier architecture
CMRR actually improves as ADM increases—an additional advantage to the use of differential inputs.
Power Dissipation and Heat Sinking
Under normal operating conditions, the MAX9765/
MAX9766/MAX9767 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 Absolute Maximum Ratings
______________________________________________________________________________________

MAX9765/MAX9766/MAX9767
750mW Audio Amplifiers with Headphone Amp,
Microphone Preamp, and Input Mux
section. For example, θ JA of the QFN package is
+42°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 heatsinking to the device. Large
output, supply, and ground PC board traces improve the
maximum power dissipation in the package.
Thermal-overload protection limits total power dissipation in these devices. When the junction temperature
exceeds +150°C, the thermal-protection circuitry disables the amplifier output stage. The amplifiers are
enabled once the junction temperature cools by 8°C.
This results in a pulsing output under continuous thermal-overload conditions as the device heats and cools.
Component Selection
Gain-Setting Resistors
External feedback components set the gain of the
MAX9765/MAX9766/MAX9767. Resistor RIN sets the
gain of the input amplifier (AVIN) and resistor RF sets
the gain of the second-stage amplifier (AVOUT):
 15kΩ 
 R 
A VIN = − 
, A VOUT = −  F 

 15kΩ 
 RIN 
Combining AVIN and AVOUT, RIN and RF set the singleended gain of the device as follows:
 15kΩ 
R 
 R 
A V = A VIN × A VOUT = − 
× −  F  = + F 

 15kΩ 
 RIN 
 RIN 
As shown, the two-stage amplifier architecture results
in a noninverting gain configuration, preserving relative
phase through the MAX9765/MAX9766. The gain of the
device in BTL mode is twice that of the single-ended
mode. Choose RIN between 10kΩ and 15kΩ and RF
between 15kΩ and 100kΩ.
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
Choose RIN according to the Gain-Setting Resistors
section. Choose the CIN such that f-3dB is well below
the lowest frequency of interest. Setting f-3dB too high
affects the amplifier’s low-frequency response. Use
capacitors whose dielectrics have low-voltage coefficients, such as tantalum or aluminum electrolytic.
Capacitors with high-voltage coefficients, such as
ceramics, may result in an increased 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-andpop suppression. Although high-fidelity audio calls for
a flat gain response between 20Hz and 20kHz,
portable voice-reproduction devices such as cellular
phones and two-way 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.

f−3dB =

2πRLCOUT
As with the input capacitor, choose COUT such that
f-3dB is well below the lowest frequency of interest.
Setting f-3dB too high affects the amplifier‘s low-frequency response.
Load impedance is a concern when choosing COUT.
Load impedance can vary, changing the -3dB point of
the output filter. A lower impedance increases the corner frequency, degrading low-frequency response.
Select COUT such that the worst-case load/COUT combination yields an adequate response. Select capacitors with low ESR.
BIAS Capacitor
BIAS is the output of the internally generated 1.5VDC
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/shutdown DC bias waveforms for the speaker amplifiers. Bypass BIAS with a 1µF capacitor to GND.
Smaller capacitor values produce faster turn-on/off
times and may impact the 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 GND. Add additional bulk
capacitance as required by the application. Bypass
PVDD with a 100µF capacitor to GND. Locate bypass
capacitors as close to the device as possible.
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, as well as 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. If digital signal lines must cross over
or under audio signal lines, ensure that they cross perpendicular to each other.
The MAX9765/MAX9766/MAX9767 thin QFN packages
feature exposed thermal pads on their undersides. This
pad lowers the package’s thermal resistance by providing a direct heat conduction path from the die to the
printed circuit board. Connect the pad to signal ground
by using a large pad, or multiple vias to the ground
plane.

MAX9765/MAX9766/MAX9767
Output-Coupling Capacitor
The MAX9765/MAX9766/MAX9767 require output-coupling capacitors to operate in single-ended (headphone) mode. The output-coupling capacitor blocks the
DC component of the amplifier output, preventing DC
current from flowing to the load. The output capacitor
and the load impedance form a highpass filter with a
-3dB point determined by:
