20W/40W, Filterless, Spread-Spectrum,  
Mono/Stereo, Class D Amplifier  
General Description  
Features  
The MAX9708 mono/stereo, Class D audio power ampli-  
fier delivers up to 2 x 21W into an 8stereo mode and  
1 x 42W into a 4load in mono mode while offering up  
to 87% efficiency. The MAX9708 provides Class AB  
amplifier performance with the benefits of Class D effi-  
ciency, 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 configu-  
ration.  
2 x 21W Output Power in Stereo Mode  
(8, THD = 10%)  
1 x 42W Output Power in Mono Mode  
(4, THD = 10%)  
High Efficiency: Up to 87%  
Filterless Class D Amplifier  
Unique Patented Spread-Spectrum Mode  
Programmable Gain (+22dB, +25dB, +29.5dB,  
+36dB)  
The MAX9708 offers two modulation schemes: a fixed-  
frequency modulation (FFM) mode, and a spread-spec-  
trum modulation (SSM) mode that reduces  
EMI-radiated emissions. The MAX9708 can be synchro-  
nized to an external clock from 600kHz to 1.2MHz. A  
synchronized output allows multiple units to be cascad-  
ed in the system.  
High PSRR (90dB at 1kHz)  
Differential Inputs Suppress Common-Mode  
Noise  
Shutdown and Mute Control  
Integrated Click-and-Pop Suppression  
Low 0.1% THD+N  
Current Limit and Thermal Protection  
Programmable Thermal Flag  
SYNC Input/Output  
Features include fully differential inputs, comprehensive  
click-and-pop suppression, and four selectable-gain set-  
tings (22dB, 25dB, 29.5dB, and 36dB). A pin-program-  
mable thermal flag provides seven different thermal  
warning thresholds. Short-circuit and thermal-overload  
protection prevent the device from being damaged  
during a fault condition.  
Available in Thermally Efficient, Space-Saving  
Packages: 56-Pin TQFN and 64-Pin TQFP  
The MAX9708 is available in 56-pin TQFN (8mm x 8mm  
x 0.8mm) and 64-pin TQFP (10mm x 10mm x 1.4mm)  
packages, and is specified over the extended  
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.

powers. Under normal operating levels (typical music  
Detailed Description  
reproduction levels), efficiency falls below 30%, where-  
as the MAX9708 still exhibits 87% efficiency under the  
same conditions.  
The MAX9708 filterless, Class D audio power amplifier  
features several improvements to switch-mode amplifi-  
er 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 per-  
formance with Class D efficiency, while occupying min-  
imal 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 con-  
figured as a single-ended input amplifier.  
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) shut-  
down 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.  
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).  
Click-and-Pop Suppression  
The MAX9708 features comprehensive click-and-pop  
suppression that eliminates audible transients on start-  
up and shutdown. While in shutdown, the H-bridge is  
pulled to GND through a 330kresistor. 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 H-  
bridge is subsequently enabled. Following startup, a  
soft-start function gradually un-mutes the input ampli-  
fiers. The value of the soft-start capacitor has an impact  
on the click-and-pop levels as well as startup time.  
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.  
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-pro-  
tection mode, the device is shut down but the thermal  
sensor is still active.  
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 current-  
steering switches and consume negligible additional  
power. Any power loss associated with the Class D out-  
put 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 ______________________________________________________________________________________  
20W/40W, Filterless, Spread-Spectrum,  
Mono/Stereo, Class D Amplifier  
Operating Modes  
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.  
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 funda-  
mental switching frequency and its associated harmon-  
ics (see the Wideband Output Spectrum graph in the  
Typical Operating Characteristics). Select one of the  
three fixed switching frequencies such that the harmon-  
ics do not fall in a sensitive band. The switching fre-  
quency can be changed at any time without affecting  
audio reproduction.  
Gain Selection  
The MAX9708 features four pin-selectable gain settings;  
see Table 2.  
Spread-Spectrum Modulation (SSM) Mode  
The MAX9708 features a unique, patented spread-  
spectrum (SSM) mode that flattens the wideband spec-  
tral 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 wave-  
form 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 com-  
pared to fixed-frequency mode. This can also help to  
randomize visual artifacts caused by radiated or sup-  
ply-borne interference in displays.

Synchronous Switching Mode  
The MAX9708 SYNCIN input allows the Class D amplifi-  
er 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.

Linear Regulator (REG)  
The supply voltage range for the MAX9708 is from 10V  
1µF  
to 18V to achieve high-output power. An internal linear  
INR+  
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,  
1µF  
digital inputs can be connected to PV  
or V . If

Input Amplifier  
low-frequency response of the amplifier. Use capaci-  
tors 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.  
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.  
Output Filter  
The MAX9708 does not require an output filter.  
However, output filtering can be used if a design is fail-  
ing 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 (8) used for lab testing will require different com-  
ponents than a real, complex load-speaker load.  
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).  
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 100mfor  
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.  
Component Selection  
Input Filter  
An input capacitor, C , in conjunction with the input  
IN  
impedance of the MAX9708, 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 imped-  
ance, the -3dB point of the highpass filter is given by:

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 maxi-  
mum output power with a continuous sine wave. The  
PC board must be optimized for best dissipation (see  
the PC Board Thermal Considerations section).  
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 dis-  
torting the input signal. Mute the MAX9708 by driving  
MUTE low. Driving MUTE low turns off the Class D out-  
put stage, but does not affect the input bias levels of  
the MAX9708.  
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 per-  
formance 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 perfor-  
mance will be less than the system’s actual capability  
for real music or voice.  
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 PV  
to  
DD  
DD  
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 pos-  
sible from this polygon to any adjacent pin on the Class  
D amplifier as well as to any adjacent components, pro-  
vided 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 capa-  
bilities of the system.  
PGND with a 0.1µF capacitor as close to each PV  
pin as possible. A low-impedance, high-current power-  
supply connection to PV is assumed. Additional bulk  
DD  
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 sol-  
dered 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.  
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.  
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.  
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 accept-  
able 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 resis-  
tance 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 cost-  
effective 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.  
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 8speaker usually has 8imped-  
ance within a very narrow range. This often extends  
well below 8, 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-chan-  
nel inputs are summed together and lowpass filtered to  
remove the high-frequency content, then amplified by a  
second MAX9708 in mono mode.  
Thermal Calculations  
The die temperature of a Class D amplifier can be esti-  
mated with some basic calculations. For example, the  
die temperature is calculated for the below conditions:  
• T = +40°C  
A
• P  
= 16W  
OUT  
• Efficiency (η) = 87%  
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 differ-  
ential path, the signal-to-noise ratio remains uncompro-  
mised 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.  
θ = 21°C/W  
JA  
First, the Class D amplifier’s power dissipation must be  
calculated:  
P
16W  
OUT  
η
0.87 16W = 2.4W  
P
=
P =  
OUT  
DISS  
Then the power dissipation is used to calculate the die  
temperature, T , as follows:  
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.

Load Impedance  
The on-resistance of the MOSFET output stage in Class  
D amplifiers affects both the efficiency and the peak-cur-  
rent 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.  
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.  
Although most loudspeakers fall either 4or 8, there  
are other impedances available that can provide a  
more thermally efficient solution.

Mismatch in the components can cause discrepancies  
The left and right drivers should be at an 8to 12Ω  
impedance, whereas the subwoofer can be 4to 12Ω  
depending on the desired output power, the available  
power-supply voltage, and the sensitivity of the individ-  
ual speakers in the system. The four gain settings of  
the MAX9708 allow gain adjustments to match the sen-  
sitivity of the speakers.  
between the nominal transfer function and actual perfor-  
mance. 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 compro-  
mising the click-and-pop performance of the MAX9708.
