Stereo Class D Audio Subsystem

with DirectDrive Headphone Amplifier

General Description

The MAX9879 combines a high-efficiency stereo Class D

audio power amplifier with a stereo capacitor-less

DirectDrive® headphone amplifier. Maxim’s filterless class

D amplifiers with active emissions limiting technology pro-

vide Class AB performance with Class D efficiency.

The Class D power amplifier delivers up to 715mW from

a 3.7V supply into an 8Ω load with 88% efficiency to

extend battery life. The filterless modulation scheme

combined with active emission limiting circuitry and

spread-spectrum modulation greatly reduces EMI while

eliminating the need for output filtering used in tradition-

al Class D devices.

The headphone amplifier delivers up to 58mW from a

3.7V supply into a 16Ω load. Maxim’s patented

DirectDrive architecture produces a ground-referenced

output from a single supply, eliminating the need for

large DC-blocking capacitors, saving cost, space and

component height.

The device utilizes a user-defined input architecture,

three preamplifier gain settings, an input mixer, volume

control, comprehensive click-and-pop suppression, and

I2C control. A bypass mode feature disables the integrat-

ed Class D amplifier and utilizes an internal DPST switch

to allow an external amplifier to drive the speaker that is

connected at the outputs of the MAX9879.

The MAX9879 is available in a thermally efficient,

space-saving 30-bump UCSP™ package.
