2.6W Stereo Audio Power Amplifiers and
DirectDrive Headphone Amplifiers
Features
The MAX9750/MAX9751/MAX9755 combine a stereo,
2.6W audio power amplifier and stereo DirectDrive®
110mW headphone amplifier in a single device. The
headphone amplifier uses Maxim’s DirectDrive architecture that produces a ground-referenced output from a
single supply, eliminating the need for large DC-blocking
capacitors, saving cost, space, and component height.
A high 90dB PSRR and low 0.01% THD+N ensures
clean, low-distortion amplification of the audio signal.
♦ No DC-Blocking Capacitors Required—Provides
Industry’s Most Compact Notebook Audio
Solution
The MAX9750 features an analog volume control, and a
BEEP input. The MAX9751 features a 2:1 input multiplexer,
allowing multiple audio sources to be selected. All devices
feature a single-supply voltage, a shutdown mode, logicselectable gain, and a headphone sense input. Industryleading click-and-pop suppression eliminates audible
transients during power and shutdown cycles.
The MAX9750/MAX9751/MAX9755 are offered in a
space-saving, thermally efficient 28-pin thin QFN (5mm
x 5mm x 0.8mm) package. These devices have thermaloverload and output short-circuit protection, and are
specified over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

All devices are 100% production tested at room temperature. All temperature limits are guaranteed by design.
Guaranteed by design. Not production tested.
PSRR is specified with the amplifier input connected to GND through CIN.
Output power levels are measured with the thin QFN’s exposed paddle soldered to the ground plane.
See Table 3 for details of the mute levels.
The value of RB dictates the minimum beep signal amplitude (see the Beep Input section).

Figure 1. MAX9750/MAX9751 Signal Path
Detailed Description
The MAX9750/MAX9751/MAX9755 combine a 2.6W BTL
speaker amplifier and a 110mW DirectDrive headphone
amplifier with integrated headphone sensing and comprehensive click-and-pop suppression. The MAX9750
features an analog volume control, BEEP input, and
four-level gain control. The MAX9751 features a 2:1
input stereo multiplexer and two-level gain control. All
devices feature high 90dB PSRR, low 0.01% THD+N,
industry-leading click-pop performance, and a lowpower shutdown mode.
Each signal path consists of an input amplifier that sets
the gain of the signal path and feeds both the speaker
and headphone amplifier (Figure 1). The speaker
amplifier uses a BTL architecture, doubling the voltage
drive to the speakers and eliminating the need for DCblocking capacitors. The output consists of two signals,
identical in magnitude, but 180° out of phase.
The headphone amplifiers use Maxim’s DirectDrive
architecture that eliminates the bulky output DC-blocking capacitors required by traditional headphone amplifiers. A charge pump inverts the positive supply
(CPV DD ), creating a negative supply (CPV SS ). The
headphone amplifiers operate from these bipolar supplies with their outputs biased about GND (Figure 2).
12
Figure 2. Traditional Headphone Amplifier Output Waveform
vs. DirectDrive Headphone Amplifier Output Waveform
The amplifiers have almost twice the supply range
compared to other single-supply amplifiers, nearly quadrupling the available output power. The benefit of the
GND bias is that the amplifier outputs no longer have a
DC component (typically VDD / 2). This eliminates the
large DC-blocking capacitors required with conventional headphone amplifiers, conserving board space and
system cost, and improving frequency response.
The MAX9750 features an analog volume control that
varies the gain of the amplifiers based on the DC voltage applied at VOL. Both devices feature an undervoltage lockout that prevents operation from an insufficient
power supply and click-and-pop suppression that eliminates audible transients on startup and shutdown. The
amplifiers include thermal-overload and short-circuit
protection, and can withstand ±8kV ESD strikes on the
headphone amplifier outputs (IEC air discharge). An
additional feature of the speaker amplifiers is that there
is no phase inversion from input to output.
DirectDrive
Conventional single-supply headphone amplifiers have
their outputs biased about a nominal DC voltage (typically half the supply) for maximum dynamic range.
Large coupling capacitors are needed to block this DC
bias from the headphones. Without these capacitors, a
______________________________________________________________________________________

DirectDrive Headphone Amplifiers
1) The sleeve is typically grounded to the chassis. Using
this biasing approach, the sleeve must be isolated
from system ground, complicating product design.
2) During an ESD strike, the amplifier’s ESD structures
are the only path to system ground. The amplifier
must be able to withstand the full ESD strike.
3) When using the headphone jack as a lineout to other
equipment, the bias voltage on the sleeve may conflict with the ground potential from other equipment,
resulting in large ground-loop current and possible
damage to the amplifiers.
Low-Frequency Response
In addition to the cost and size disadvantages, the DCblocking capacitors limit the low-frequency response of
the amplifier and distort the audio signal:
1) The impedance of the headphone load to the DCblocking capacitor forms a highpass filter with the
-3dB point determined by:
f−3dB =
1
2πRLCOUT
where RL is the impedance of the headphone and
COUT is the value of the DC-blocking capacitor.
The highpass filter is required by conventional single-ended, single-supply headphone amplifiers to
block the midrail DC component of the audio signal
from the headphones. Depending on the -3dB point,

Capacitor Values
the filter can attenuate low-frequency signals within
the audio band. Larger values of COUT reduce the
attenuation but are physically larger, more expensive capacitors. Figure 3 shows the relationship
between the size of COUT and the resulting low-frequency attenuation. Note that the -3dB point for a
16Ω headphone with a 100µF blocking capacitor is
100Hz, well within the audio band.
2) The voltage coefficient of the capacitor, the change
in capacitance due to a change in the voltage
across the capacitor, distorts the audio signal. At
frequencies around the -3dB point, the reactance of
the capacitor dominates, and the voltage coefficient
appears as frequency-dependent distortion. Figure
4 shows the THD+N introduced by two different
capacitor dielectrics. Note that around the -3dB
point, THD+N increases dramatically.
The combination of low-frequency attenuation and frequency-dependent distortion compromises audio
reproduction. DirectDrive improves low-frequency
reproduction in portable audio equipment that emphasizes low-frequency effects such as multimedia laptops, and MP3, CD, and DVD players.
Charge Pump
The MAX9750/MAX9751/MAX9755 feature a low-noise
charge pump. The 550kHz switching frequency is well
beyond the audio range, and does not interfere with the
audio signals. The switch drivers feature a controlled
switching speed that minimizes noise generated by turnon and turn-off transients. Limiting the switching speed of
the charge pump minimizes the di/dt noise caused by the
______________________________________________________________________________________
13
MAX9750/MAX9751/MAX9755
significant amount of DC current flows to the headphone,
resulting in unnecessary power dissipation and possible
damage to both headphone and headphone amplifier.
Maxim’s DirectDrive architecture uses a charge pump to
an internal negative supply voltage. This allows the
MAX9750/MAX9751/MAX9755 headphone amplifier output to be biased about GND, almost doubling the dynamic range while operating from a single supply. With no DC
component, there is no need for the large DC-blocking
capacitors. Instead of two large capacitors (220µF typ),
the MAX9750/MAX9751/MAX9755 charge pump requires
only two small ceramic capacitors (1µF typ), conserving
board space, reducing cost, and improving the frequency response of the headphone amplifier. See the Output
Power vs. Charge-Pump Capacitance and Load
Resistance graph in the Typical Operating
Characteristics for details of the possible capacitor values.
Previous attempts to eliminate the output coupling
capacitors involved biasing the headphone return
(sleeve) to the DC bias voltage of the headphone
amplifiers. This method raised some issues:

parasitic bond wire and trace inductance. Although not
typically required, additional high-frequency ripple attenuation can be achieved by increasing the size of C2 (see
the Block Diagrams).
Headphone Sense Input (HPS)
The headphone sense input (HPS) monitors the headphone jack and automatically configures the device
based upon the voltage applied at HPS. A voltage of
less than 0.8V sets the device to speaker mode. A voltage of greater than 2V disables the bridge amplifiers
and enables the headphone amplifiers.
For automatic headphone detection, connect HPS to the
control pin of a 3-wire headphone jack as shown in
Figure 5. With no headphone present, the output impedance of the headphone amplifier pulls HPS low. When a
headphone plug is inserted into the jack, the control pin
is disconnected from the tip contact and HPS is pulled
to VDD through a 10µA current source.
BIAS
The MAX9750/MAX9751/MAX9755 feature an internally
generated, power-supply independent, common-mode
bias voltage of 1.8V referenced to GND. BIAS provides
both click-and-pop suppression and sets the DC bias
level for the amplifiers. Choose the value of the bypass
capacitor as described in the BIAS Capacitor section.
No external load should be applied to BIAS. Any load
lowers the BIAS voltage, affecting the overall performance of the device.

Gain Selection
MAX9750
The MAX9750 features an internally set, selectable gain.
The GAIN1 and GAIN2 inputs set the maximum gain of
the MAX9750 speaker and headphone amplifiers (Table
1). The gain of the device can vary based upon the voltage at VOL (see the Analog Volume Control (VOL) section). However, the maximum gain cannot be exceeded.
MAX9751/MAX9755
The gain of the MAX9751/MAX9755 is set by the GAIN
input. Driving GAIN high sets the gain of the speaker
amplifiers to 9dB and the gain of the headphone amplifiers to 0dB. Driving GAIN low sets the gain of the
speaker amplifiers to 10.5dB, and the gain of the headphone amplifiers to 3dB (Table 2).
Analog Volume Control (VOL)
The MAX9750 features an analog volume control that
varies the gain of the device in 31 discrete steps based
upon the DC voltage applied to VOL. The input range of
VVOL is from 0 (full volume) to 0.858 x HPVDD (full mute),
with example step sizes shown in Table 3. Connect the
reference of the device driving VOL (Figure 6) to HPVDD.
Since the volume control ADC is ratiometric to HPVDD,
any changes in HPVDD are negated. The gain step sizes
are not constant; the step sizes are 0.5dB/step at the
upper extreme, 2dB/step in the midrange, and 4dB/step
at the lower extreme. Figure 7 shows the transfer function
of the volume control for a 3.3V supply.

BEEP Input
The MAX9750 features an audible alert beep input
(BEEP) that accepts a mono system alert signal and
mixes it into the stereo audio path. When the amplitude
of VBEEP(OUT) exceeds 800mVP-P (Figure 8) and the
frequency of the beep signal is greater than 300Hz, the
beep signal is mixed into the active audio path (speaker
or headphone). If the signal at VBEEP(OUT) is either
< 800mVP-P or < 300Hz, the BEEP signal is not mixed
into the audio path. The amplitude of the BEEP signal at
the device output is roughly the amplitude of VBEEP(OUT)
times the gain of the selected signal path.
The input resistor (RB) sets the gain of the BEEP input
amplifier, and thus the amplitude of VBEEP(OUT). Choose
RB based on:
RB ≤
VIN × RINT
0.3
where RINT is the value of the BEEP amplifier feedback
resistor (47kΩ) and VIN is the BEEP input amplitude.
Note that the BEEP amplifier can be set up as either an
attenuator, if the original alert signal amplitude is too
large, or set to gain up the alert signal if it is below
800mVP-P. AC couple the alert signal to BEEP. Choose
the value of the coupling capacitor as described in the
Input Filtering section. Multiple beep inputs can be
summed (Figure 8).

Input Multiplexer
The MAX9751 features a 2:1 input multiplexer on each
amplifier, allowing input selection between two stereo
sources. The logic input IN1/2 controls both multiplexers. A logic high selects input IN_1 and a logic low
selects input IN_2.
Shutdown
The MAX9750/MAX9751/MAX9755 features a 0.2µA,
low-power shutdown mode that reduces quiescent current consumption and extends battery life. Driving
SHDN low disables the drive amplifiers, bias circuitry,
and charge pump, and drives BIAS and all outputs to
GND. Connect SHDN to VDD for normal operation.
Click-and-Pop Suppression
Speaker Amplifier
The MAX9750/MAX9751/MAX9755 speaker amplifiers
feature Maxim’s comprehensive, industry-leading clickand-pop suppression. During startup, the click-pop
suppression circuitry eliminates any audible transient
sources internal to the device. When entering shutdown, both amplifier outputs ramp to GND quickly and
simultaneously.

Additionally, the MAX9750/MAX9751/MAX9755 features
extensive click-and-pop suppression that eliminates
any audible transient sources internal to the device.
The Turn-On Response (Headphone Mode) and TurnOff Response (Headphone Mode) graphs in the Typical
Operating Characteristics shows that there are minimal
transient components in the audible range at the output
upon startup and shutdown.

Headphone Amplifier
In conventional single-supply headphone amplifiers,
the output-coupling capacitor is a major contributor of
audible clicks and pops. Upon startup, the amplifier
charges the coupling capacitor to its bias voltage, typically half the supply. Likewise, during shutdown, the
capacitor is discharged to GND. A DC shift across the
capacitor results, which in turn appears as an audible
transient at the speaker. Since the MAX9750/MAX9751/
MAX9755 do not require output-coupling capacitors, no
audible transient occurs.

Figure 9. Bridge-Tied Load Configuration
Applications Information
BTL Speaker Amplifiers
The MAX9750/MAX9751/MAX9755 feature speaker
amplifiers designed to drive a load differentially, a configuration referred to as bridge-tied load (BTL). The BTL
configuration (Figure 9) offers advantages over the single-ended configuration, where one side of the load is
connected to ground. Driving the load differentially
doubles the output voltage compared to a singleended amplifier under similar conditions. Thus, the
device’s differential gain is twice the closed-loop gain
of the input amplifier. The effective gain is given by:
A VD = 2 ×
RF
RIN
Substituting 2 x VOUT(P-P) into the following equation
yields four times the output power due to double the
output voltage:
VRMS =
VOUT(P−P)
2 2
2
V
POUT = RMS
RL
Since the differential outputs are biased at midsupply,
there is no net DC voltage across the load. This eliminates the need for DC-blocking capacitors required for
single-ended amplifiers. These capacitors can be large
and expensive, can consume board space, and can
degrade low-frequency performance.

with Inputs In/Out of Phase (Headphone Mode)
Power Dissipation and Heat Sinking
Under normal operating conditions, the MAX9750/
MAX9751/MAX9755 can dissipate a significant amount
of power. The maximum power dissipation for each
package is given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings
under Continuous Power Dissipation, or can be calculated by the following equation:
PDISSPKG(MAX) =
TJ(MAX) − TA
θJA
where TJ(MAX) is +150°C, TA is the ambient temperature, and θJA is the reciprocal of the derating factor in
°C/W as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings
section. For example, θJA of the thin QFN package is
+42°C/W. For optimum power dissipation, the exposed
paddle of the package should be connected to the
ground plane (see the Layout and Grounding section).
Output Power (Speaker Amplifier)
The increase in power delivered by the BTL configuration directly results in an increase in internal power dissipation over the single-ended configuration. The
maximum power dissipation for a given VDD and load is
given by the following equation:
PDISS(MAX) =
2VDD2
π 2RL
If the power dissipation for a given application exceeds
the maximum allowed for a given package, either reduce
VDD, increase load impedance, decrease the ambient
temperature, or add heatsinking to the device. Large
output, supply, and ground PC board traces improve the
maximum power dissipation in the package.

Thermal-overload protection limits total power dissipation in these devices. When the junction temperature
exceeds +160°C, the thermal-protection circuitry disables the amplifier output stage. The amplifiers are
enabled once the junction temperature cools by 15°C.
This results in a pulsing output under continuous thermal-overload conditions as the device heats and cools.
Output Power (Headphone Amplifier)
The headphone amplifiers have been specified for the
worst-case scenario—when both inputs are in phase.
Under this condition, the drivers simultaneously draw
current from the charge pump, leading to a slight loss in
headroom of VSS. In typical stereo audio applications,
the left and right signals have differences in both magnitude and phase, subsequently leading to an increase in
the maximum attainable output power. Figure 10 shows
the two extreme cases for in and out of phase. In reality,
the available power lies between these extremes.
Power Supplies
The MAX9750/MAX9751/MAX9755 have different supplies for each portion of the device, allowing for the optimum combination of headroom and power dissipation
and noise immunity. The speaker amplifiers are powered from PVDD. PVDD ranges from 4.5V to 5.5V. The
headphone amplifiers are powered from HPVDD and
VSS. HPVDD is the positive supply of the headphone
amplifiers and ranges from 3V to 5.5V. VSS is the negative supply of the headphone amplifiers. Connect VSS to
CPV SS . The charge pump is powered by CPV DD .
CPVDD ranges from 3V to 5.5V and should be the same
potential as HPVDD. The charge pump inverts the voltage at CPVDD, and the resulting voltage appears at
CPVSS. The remainder of the device is powered by VDD.
Component Selection
Input Filtering
The input capacitor (CIN), in conjunction with the amplifier input resistance (RIN), forms a highpass filter that
removes the DC bias from an incoming signal (see the
Block Diagrams). The AC-coupling capacitor allows the
amplifier to bias the signal to an optimum DC level.
Assuming zero source impedance, the -3dB point of
the highpass filter is given by:
WEBSITE
f−3dB =
1
2πRINCIN
RIN is the amplifier’s internal input resistance value
given in the Electrical Characteristics table. Choose CIN
such that f-3dB is well below the lowest frequency of
interest. Setting f-3dB too high affects the amplifier’s
low-frequency response. Use capacitors with low-voltage coefficient dielectrics, such as tantalum or aluminum electrolytic. Capacitors with high-voltage
coefficients, such as ceramics, may result in increased
distortion at low frequencies.
BIAS Capacitor
BIAS is the output of the internally generated DC bias
voltage. The BIAS bypass capacitor, CBIAS, improves
PSRR and THD+N by reducing power supply and other
noise sources at the common-mode bias node, and
also generates the clickless/popless, startup/shutdown
DC bias waveforms for the speaker amplifiers. Bypass
BIAS with a 1µF capacitor to GND.
Charge-Pump Capacitor Selection
Use capacitors with an ESR less than 100mΩ for optimum performance. Low-ESR ceramic capacitors minimize the output resistance of the charge pump. For
best performance over the extended temperature
range, select capacitors with an X7R dielectric. Table 4
lists suggested manufacturers.
Flying Capacitor (C1)
The value of the flying capacitor (C1) affects the load
regulation and output resistance of the charge pump. A
C1 value that is too small degrades the device’s ability
to provide sufficient current drive, which leads to a loss
of output voltage. Increasing the value of C1 improves
load regulation and reduces the charge-pump output
resistance to an extent. See the Output Power vs.
Charge-Pump Capacitance and Load Resistance
graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics. Above
2.2µF, the on-resistance of the switches and the ESR of
C1 and C2 dominate.
Output Capacitor (C2)
The output capacitor value and ESR directly affect the
ripple at CPVSS. Increasing the value of C2 reduces
output ripple. Likewise, decreasing the ESR of C2

DirectDrive Headphone Amplifiers
reduces both ripple and output resistance. Lower
capacitance values can be used in systems with low
maximum output power levels. See the Output Power
vs. Charge-Pump Capacitance and Load Resistance
graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics.
CPVDD Bypass Capacitor (C3)
The CPVDD bypass capacitor (C3) lowers the output
impedance of the power supply and reduces the
impact of the MAX9750/MAX9751/MAX9755’s chargepump switching transients. Bypass CPVDD with C3, the
same value as C1, and place it physically close to
CPVDD and PGND (refer to the MAX9750 Evaluation Kit
for a suggested layout).
Powering Other Circuits from a
Negative Supply
An additional benefit of the MAX9750/MAX9751/
MAX9755 is the internally generated negative supply voltage (CPV SS ). CPV SS is used by the MAX9750/
MAX9751/MAX9755 to provide the negative supply for
the headphone amplifiers. It can also be used to power
other devices within a design. Current draw from CPVSS
should be limited to 5mA, exceeding this affects the operation of the headphone amplifier. A typical application is
a negative supply to adjust the contrast of LCD modules.
When considering the use of CPVSS in this manner,
note that the charge-pump voltage of CPVSS is roughly
proportional to CPVDD and is not a regulated voltage.
The charge-pump output impedance plot appears in
the Typical Operating Characteristics.
together at a single point on the PC board. Route
CPGND and all traces that carry switching transients
away from GND, PGND, and the traces and components in the audio signal path.
Connect all components associated with the charge
pump (C2 and C3) to the CPGND plane. Connect VSS
and CPVSS together at the device. Place the chargepump capacitors (C1, C2, and C3) as close to the
device as possible. Bypass HPVDD and PVDD with a
0.1µF capacitor to GND. Place the bypass capacitors
as close to the device as possible.
Use large, low-resistance output traces. As load impedance decreases, the current drawn from the device outputs increase. At higher current, the resistance of the
output traces decrease the power delivered to the load.
For example, when compared to a 0Ω trace, a 100mΩ
trace reduces the power delivered to a 4Ω load from
2.1W to 2W. Large output, supply, and GND traces also
improve the power dissipation of the device.
The MAX9750/MAX9751/MAX9755 thin QFN package
features an exposed thermal pad on its underside. This
pad lowers the package’s thermal resistance by providing a direct heat conduction path from the die to the
printed circuit board. Connect the exposed thermal
pad to GND by using a large pad and multiple vias to a
GND plane on the bottom of the PCB.
Layout and Grounding
Proper layout and grounding are essential for optimum
performance. Use large traces for the power-supply
inputs and amplifier outputs to minimize losses due to
parasitic trace resistance, as well as route head away
from the device. Good grounding improves audio performance, minimizes crosstalk between channels, and
prevents any switching noise from coupling into the
audio signal. Connect CPGND, PGND and GND
