3W Mono/Stereo BTL Audio Power Amplifiers
with Shutdown
General Description
The MAX9710/MAX9711 are stereo/mono 3W bridge-tied
load (BTL) audio power amplifiers. These devices are
PC99/01 compliant, operate from a single 4.5V to 5.5V
supply, and feature an industry-leading 100dB PSRR,
which allows these devices to operate from noisy sup-
plies without additional, costly power-supply condition-
ing. An ultra-low 0.005% THD+N ensures clean,
low-distortion amplification of the audio signal while
click-and-pop suppression eliminates audible transients
on power and shutdown cycles. Power-saving features
include low 2mV V
OS
(minimizing DC current drain
through the speakers), low 7mA supply current, and a
0.5µA shutdown mode. A MUTE function allows the out-
puts to be quickly enabled or disabled.
These devices include thermal overload protection, are
specified over the extended -40°C to +85°C tempera-
ture range, and are supplied in thermally efficient pack-
ages. The MAX9710 is available in a 20-pin thin QFN
package (5mm

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation 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.
