Low-Power, Low-Offset, Dual Mode, Class H
DirectDrive Headphone Amplifier
General Description
The MAX97200 is a 45mW Class H headphone amplifier
that runs from a single low 1.8V supply voltage and employs
Maxim’s second-generation DirectDrive
technology.
The MAX97200 features a Dual ModeK internal charge
pump to generate the power rails for the amplifier. The
charge-pump output can be
QPVIN/2
or
QPVIN
depend-
ing on the amplitude of the output signal. When the out-
put voltage is low, the power-supply voltage is
QPVIN/2.
When the output signal demands larger output voltage,
the charge pump switches modes so that a greater
power-supply voltage is realized and more output power
can be delivered to the load.
Second-generation DirectDrive technology improves
power consumption when compared to first-generation
DirectDrive amplifiers. The MAX97200 can be powered
from a regulated 1.8V and have similar power consump-
tion to a traditional DirectDrive amplifier that is powered
from 0.9V.
Maxim’s patented DirectDrive architecture uses an
inverting charge pump to derive a negative voltage
supply. The headphone amplifier is powered between
the positive supply and the generated negative rail.
This scheme allows the audio output signal to be
biased about ground, eliminating the need for large
DC-blocking capacitors between the amplifier output
and the headphone load.
Low-output offset voltage provides very good click-and-
pop performance both into and out of shutdown. High
signal-to-noise ratio maintains system fidelity.
The MAX97200 is available in a tiny, 12-bump wafer
level packaging (WLP 1.27mm x 1.65mm) with a small,
0.4mm lead pitch and specified over the -40NC to +85NC
extended temperature range.

Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-
layer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional opera-
tion of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
