MAXIM MAX9789AE Windows Vista-Compliant, Stereo Class AB Speaker Amplifiers and DirectDrive Headphone Amplifiers

Description:

The MAX9789/MAX9790 combine a stereo, 2W Class AB speaker power amplifier with a stereo 100mW DirectDrive® headphone amplifier in a single device. The
MAX9789/MAX9790 are designed for use with the Microsoft Windows Vista® operating system and are fully compliant with Microsoft's Windows Vista specifications. The headphone amplifier features Maxim's patented DirectDrive architecture that produces a ground-referenced output from a single supply to eliminate the need for large DC-blocking capacitors, as well as save cost, board space, and component height. A high +90dB PSRR and low 0.002% THD+N ensures clean, low-distortion amplification of the audio signal.
Separate speaker and headphone amplifier control inputs provide independent shutdown of the speaker and headphone amplifiers, allowing speaker and headphone amplifiers to be active simultaneously, if required. The industry-leading click-and-pop suppression circuitry reduces audible transients during startup
and shutdown cycles.
The MAX9789 features an internal LDO that can be used as a clean power supply for a CODEC or other circuits. The LDO output voltage is set internally at 4.75V or can
be adjusted between 1.21V and 4.75V using a simple resistive divider. The LDO is protected against thermal overloads and short circuits while providing 120mA of
continuous output current and can be enabled independently of the audio amplifiers.
By disabling the speaker and headphone amplifiers, and the LDO (for MAX9789), the MAX9789/MAX9790 enter low-power shutdown mode and draw only 0.3μA.
The MAX9789/MAX9790 operate from a single 4.5V to 5.5V supply and feature thermal-overload and output short-circuit protection. Devices are specified over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.
