General Description
The MAX9775/MAX9776 combine a high-efficiency Class D, stereo/mono audio power amplifier with a mono DirectDrive ?receiver amplifier and a stereo DirectDrive headphone amplifier.
Maxim’s 3rd-generation, ultra-low-EMI, Class D audio power amplifiers provide Class AB performance with Class D efficiency. The MAX9775/MAX9776 deliver 1.5W per channel into a 4Ωload from a 5V supply and offer efficiencies up to 79%. Active emissions limiting circuitry and spread-spectrum modulation greatly reduce EMI, eliminating the need for output filtering found in traditional Class D devices.
The MAX9775/MAX9776 utilize a fully differential archi-tecture, a full-bridged output, and comprehensive click-and-pop suppression. A 3D stereo enhancement function allows the MAX9775 to widen the stereo sound field immersing the listener in a cleaner, richer sound experience than typically found in portable applications.The devices utilize a flexible, user-defined mixer archi-tecture that includes an input mixer, volume control, and output mixer. All control is done through I 2C.
The mono receiver amplifier and stereo headphone amplifier use Maxim’s DirectDrive architecture that pro-duces a ground-referenced output from a single supply,eliminating the need for large DC-blocking capacitors,saving cost, space, and component height.
The MAX9775 is available in a 36-bump WLP (3mm x 3mm) package. The MAX9776 is available in a 32-pin TQFN (5mm x 5mm) or a 36-bump WLP (3mm x 3mm)package. Both devices are specified over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Detailed Description
The MAX9775/MAX9776 ultra-low-EMI, filterless, Class D audio power amplifiers feature several improvements to switch-mode amplifier technology. The MAX9775/MAX9776 feature active emissions limiting circuitry to reduce EMI. Zero dead-time technology maintains state-of-the-art efficiency and THD+N performance by allowing the output F ETs to switch simultaneously without cross-conduction. A unique filterless modulation scheme and spread-spectrum modulation create compact, flexible,low-noise, efficient audio power amplifiers while occupying minimal board space. The differential input architecture reduces common-mode noise pickup with or without the use of input-coupling capacitors. The MAX9775/MAX9776 can also be configured as single-ended input amplifiers without performance degradation.The MAX9775/MAX9776 feature three fully differential input pairs (INA_, INB_, INC_) that can be configured as stereo single-ended or mono differential inputs. I 2C provides control for input configuration, volume level,and mixer configuration. The MAX9775’s 3D enhance-ment feature widens the stereo sound field to improve stereo imaging when stereo speakers are placed in close proximity.
DirectDrive allows the headphone and mono receiver amplifiers to output ground-referenced signals from a single supply, eliminating the need for large DC-block-ing capacitors. Comprehensive click-and-pop suppres-sion minimizes audible transients during the turn-on and turn-off of amplifiers.
Class D Speaker Amplifier
Comparators monitor the audio inputs and compare the complementary input voltages to a sawtooth waveform.The comparators trip when the input magnitude of the sawtooth exceeds their corresponding input voltage. The active emissions limiting circuitry slightly reduces the turn-on rate of the output H-bridge by slew-rate limiting the comparator output pulse. Both comparators reset at a fixed time after the rising edge of the second compara-tor trip point, generating a minimum-width pulse (t ON(MIN),100ns typ) at the output of the second com-parator (F igure 1). As the input voltage increases or decreases, the duration of the pulse at one output increases while the other output pulse duration remains the same. This causes the net voltage across the speak-er (V OUT+- V OUT-) to change. The minimum-width pulse helps the devices to achieve high levels of linearity.

Operating Modes
Fixed-Frequency Modulation
The MAX9775/MAX9776 feature a fixed-frequency modulation mode with a 1.1MHz switching frequency,set through the I 2C interface (Table 2). In fixed-frequen-cy modulation mode, the frequency spectrum of the Class D output consists of the fundamental switching frequency and its associated harmonics (see the Wideband Output Spectrum F ixed-F requency Mode graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics ).Spread-Spectrum Modulation
The MAX9775/MAX9776 feature a unique spread-spec-trum modulation that flattens the wideband spectral com-ponents. Proprietary techniques ensure that the
cycle-to-cycle variation of the switching period does not degrade audio reproduction or efficiency (see the Typical Operating Characteristics ). Select spread-spec-trum modulation mode through the I 2C interface (Table 2). In spread-spectrum modulation mode, the switching frequency varies randomly by ±30kHz around the center frequency (1.16MHz). The modulation scheme remains the same, but the period of the sawtooth waveform changes from cycle to cycle (F igure 2). 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 (see Figure 3).
