19-6311; Rev 0; 5/12 EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE MAX98356 PDM Input Class D Audio Power Amplifier General Description The MAX98356 is a digital pulse-density modulated (PDM) input Class D power amplifier that provides Class AB audio performance with Class D efficiency. This IC offers five selectable gain settings (3dB, 6dB, 9dB, 12dB, and 15dB) set by a single gain-select input (GAIN). The MAX98356 takes a stereo pulse density modulated (SPDM) input signal directly into the DAC. Data on the rising edge of PDM_CLK is considered left-channel data while data on the falling PDM_CLK edge is right channel. The IC can be configured to produce a left channel, right channel, or (left + right)/2 output from the stereo input data. The IC also features an extremely robust digital audio interface with very high wideband jitter tolerance (12ns typ) on PDM_CLK. Features SSingle-Supply Operation (2.5V to 5.5V) S3.2W Output Power into 4I at 5V S1.7mA Quiescent Current S92% Efficiency (RL = 8I, POUT = 900mW, VDD = 3.7V) S29µVRMS Output Noise (AV = 6dB) SLow 0.013% THD+N at 1kHz SExceptionally High Jitter Tolerance SSupported PDM_CLK Rates of 1.84MHz–4.32MHz and 5.28MHz–8.64MHz Active emissions-limiting, edge-rate limiting, and overshoot control circuitry greatly reduce EMI. A filterless spread-spectrum modulation scheme eliminates the need for output filtering found in traditional Class D devices and reduces the component count of the solution. SSupports Left, Right, or (Left + Right)/2 Outputs The IC is available in a 9-pin WLP package (1.345mm x 1.435mm x 0.64mm) and is specified over the -40NC to +85NC temperature range.

The IC offers Class AB audio performance with Class D efficiency in a minimal board-space solution. The Class D amplifier features spread-spectrum modulation with edge-rate and overshoot control circuitry that offers significant improvements in switch-mode amplifier radiated emissions. The amplifier features click-and-pop suppression that reduces audible transients on startup and shutdown. The amplifier includes thermal-overload and short-circuit protection. The MAX98356 is a digital PDM input Class D power amplifier. The PDM modulation scheme uses the relative density of digital pulses to represent the amplitude of an analog signal. The IC accepts stereo PDM data through PDM_DATA and PDM_CLK. SD_MODE selects which audio channel is output by the amplifier and is used to put the IC into shutdown. The GAIN pin offers five gain settings and allows the output of the amplifier to be tuned to the appropriate level. Digital Audio Interface Table 1. PDM_CLK Polarity PDM_CLK EDGE DIRECTION CHANNEL Rising edge Left Falling edge Right The IC takes a stereo PDM input signal directly into the DAC. Data read on the rising edge of PDM_CLK is leftchannel data while data read on the falling PDM_CLK edge is right channel (Table 1). Supported PDM_CLK Rates Table 2 indicates the range of PDM_CLK rates that are supported by the IC. Table 3 indicates the specific clock rates to use based on the baseband rate and the oversample rate of the incoming PDM signal. Table 2.

PDM Timing Characteristics Figure 2 shows the PDM operation of the IC. The bitdepth is one bit and each bit alternates between leftchannel and right-channel data. SD_MODE Pin and Shutdown Operation The IC features a low-power shutdown mode, drawing less than 0.6FA (typ) of supply current. During shutdown, all internal blocks are turned off, including setting the output stage to a high-impedance state. Drive SD_MODE low to put the IC into shutdown. If the PDM generator produces data that is stuck at logichigh or logic-low, then the output of the IC is railed, forcing DC at the load. Therefore, it is recommended that the PDM generator includes protection to detect this invalid condition. If such a condition is detected, then the IC should either be put into shutdown or PDM_CLK should be stopped. The state of SD_MODE determines the audio channel that is sent to the amplifier output (Table 5). Drive SD_MODE high to select the left channel of the stereo input data. Drive SD_MODE high through a sufficiently small resistor to select the right channel of the stereo input data. Drive SD_MODE high through a sufficiently large resistor to select both the left and right channels of the stereo input data ((left + right)/2). The (left + right)/2 mode is not supported for PDM_CLK rates above 5.28MHz. RLARGE and RSMALL are determined by the Standby Mode If PDM_CLK stops toggling, the IC automatically enters standby mode. In standby mode, the Class D speaker amplifier is turned off and the outputs go into a highimpedance state, ensuring that the unwanted current is not transferred to the load during this condition. Standby mode should not be used in place of the shutdown mode because SD_MODE = LOGIC-HIGH PDM_CLK PDM_DATA L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R RIGHT CHANNEL IGNORED SD_MODE = PULLUP THROUGH RSMALL PDM_CLK PDM_DATA L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L LEFT CHANNEL IGNORED SD_MODE = PULLUP THROUGH RLARGE PDM_CLK PDM_DATA L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L LEFT AND RIGHT CHANNELS AVERAGED Figure 2.

RSMALL (kI) = 98.5 x VDDIO - 100 RLARGE (kI) = 222.2 x VDDIO - 100 Gain Selection The IC offers five programmable gain selections through a singel gain input (GAIN). Gain is referenced to the full-scale output of the DAC, which is 2.1dBV (Table 7). Assuming that the desired output swing is not limited by the supply voltage rail, the IC’s output level can be calculated based on the PDM input ones’s density and selected amplifier gain according to the following equation: Figure 3 and Figure 4 show how to connect an external resistor to SD_MODE when using an open-drain driver or a pullup/down driver. When the device is configured in left channel mode (SD_MODE is directly driven to logic-high by the control interface) care must be taken to avoid violating the Absolute Maximum Ratings limits for SD_MODE. Ensuring that VDD is always greater than VDDIO is one way to prevent SD_MODE from violating the Absolute Maximum Ratings limits. If this is not possible in the application (e.g., if VDD < 3.0V and VDDIO = 3.3V), then it is necessary to add a small resistance (~2kI) in series with SD_MODE to limit the current into the SD_MODE pin. This is not a concern when using the right channel or (left + right)/2 modes. Class D Speaker Amplifier The filterless Class D amplifier offers much higher efficiency than Class AB amplifiers. The high efficiency of a Class D amplifier is due to the switching operation of the output stage transistors. 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. Ultra-Low EMI Filterless Output Stage Traditional Class D amplifiers require the use of external LC filters, or shielding, to meet EN55022B electromagnetic-interference (EMI) regulation standards. Maxim’s active emissions-limiting edge-rate control circuitry and spread-spectrum modulation reduces EMI emissions while maintaining up to 92% efficiency. Maxim’s spread-spectrum modulation mode flattens wideband spectral components while proprietary techniques ensure that the cycle-to-cycle variation of the switching period does not degrade audio reproduction or efficiency. The ICs’ spread-spectrum modulator randomly varies the switching frequency by Q10kHz around the center frequency (300kHz). Above 10MHz, the wideband spectrum looks like noise for EMI purposes (Figure 5). Speaker Current Limit If the output current of the speaker amplifier exceeds the current limit (2.8A typ), the IC disables the outputs for approximately 100Fs. At the end of the 100Fs, the outputs are re-enabled. If the fault condition still exists, the Output signal level (dBV) = 20 x log[abs(PDM one’s density(%) - 50) /25] (dBFS) + 2.1dB + selected speaker amplifier gain (dB) where the one’s density of the PDM input ranges from 75% (maximum positive magnitude) to 25% (maximum negative magnitude). 0dFBS is referenced to 0dBV. Click-and-Pop Suppression The IC speaker amplifier features Maxim’s comprehensive click-and-pop suppression. During startup, the clickand-pop suppression circuitry reduces audible transient sources internal to the device. To achieve optimal clickand-pop reduction at startup, it is recommended that idle data be sent to the digital audio interface for the first 0.5ms of turn-on time. When entering shutdown, the differential speaker outputs immediately go to a high-impedance state without creating an audible click-and-pop noise. Table 6.

Stereo Operation Using Two ICs ���������������������������������������������������������������� Maxim Integrated Products 18 MAX98356 PDM Input Class D Audio Power Amplifier Filterless Class D Operation Traditional Class D amplifiers require an output filter to recover the audio signal from the amplifier’s output. The filter adds cost, size, and decreases efficiency and THD+N performance. The IC’s filterless modulation scheme does not require an output filter. The device relies on the inherent inductance of the speaker coil and the natural filtering of both the speaker and the human ear to recover the audio component of the square-wave output. Because the switching frequency of the IC is well beyond the bandwidth of most speakers, voice coil movement due to the switching frequency is very small. Use a speaker with a series inductance > 10FH. Typical 8I speakers exhibit series inductances in the 20FH to 100FH range. WLP Applications Information For the latest application details on WLP construction, dimensions, tape carrier information, PCB techniques, bump-pad layout, and recommended reflow temperature profile, as well as the latest information on reliability testing results, refer to the Application Note 1891: Wafer-Level Packaging (WLP) and Its Applications. Figure 11 shows the dimensions of the WLP balls used on the IC. 2.5V TO 5.5V 10µF CODEC GPIO* Power-Supply Input VDD, which ranges from 2.5V to 5.5V, powers the IC, including the speaker amplifier. Bypass VDD with a 0.1FF and 10FF capacitor to GND. Some applications might require only the 10FF bypass capacitor, making it possible to operate with a single external component. Apply additional bulk capacitance at the IC if long input traces between VDD and the power source are used. Layout and Grounding Proper layout and grounding are essential for optimum performance. Good grounding improves audio performance and prevents switching noise from coupling into the audio signal.

THE MAX98356 IS SHUTDOWN WHEN GPIO IS LOW. Figure 10. (Left + Right)/2 Operation with 6dB Gain 0.24mm Use wide, low-resistance output traces. As load impedance decreases, the current drawn from the device outputs increases. At higher current, the resistance of the output traces decreases the power delivered to the load. For example, if 2W is delivered from the speaker output to a 4I load through 100mI of total speaker trace, 1.904W is being delivered to the speaker. If power is delivered through 10mI of total speaker trace, 1.951W is being delivered to the speaker. Wide output, supply, and ground traces also improve the power dissipation of the IC. The IC is inherently designed for excellent RF immunity. For best performance, add ground fills around all signal traces on top or bottom PCB planes. 0.21mm Figure 11.
