Stereo Audio DAC with DirectDrive
Headphone Amplifier
The MAX9850 is a low-power, high-performance stereo
audio DAC with an integrated DirectDrive headphone
amplifier. The MAX9850 is designed to meet the board
space and performance requirements of portable devices
such as cell phones and MP3 and portable DVD players.
The MAX9850 uses Maxim’s DirectDrive headphone
technology that produces a ground-biased analog
audio output from a single supply, which allows for driving the headphones directly from the amplifier outputs
without large DC-blocking capacitors. This feature
saves board space, provides higher click/pop suppression, and improves low-frequency (bass) response. The
architecture does not require the headphone jack to be
biased to a DC voltage and thus allows for a conventional, grounded chassis design.
The MAX9850’s flexible clocking circuitry utilizes any
available system clock up to 40MHz, eliminating the
need for an external PLL and multiple crystal oscillators.
The DAC supports a wide range of sample rates from
8kHz to 48kHz in both master and slave modes, making
the MAX9850 the easiest to use and most versatile audio
DAC available. It can also be operated like traditional
synchronous DACs, at any integer-oversampling ratio.
The audio DAC receives input data over a flexible
3-wire interface that supports left-justified, right-justified
audio data, or I2S-compatible audio data. Stereo audio
line inputs are provided to either mix analog audio with
the digital input stream, or to drive the headphone outputs directly. Mode settings, headphone amplifier volume controls, and shutdown for both the headphone
and line outputs are programmed through a 2-wire,
I2C-compatible interface.
The MAX9850 is fully specified over the -40°C to +85°C
extended temperature range and is available in a lowprofile, 28-pin thin QFN package (5mm x 5mm x 0.8mm).

The MAX9850 is 100% production tested at TA = +25°C and is guaranteed by design for TA = TMIN to TMAX.
Full operation is defined as clocking all zeros into the DAC while the DAC, headphone outputs, and line outputs are all enabled.
DAC performance specifications measured using the line outputs, OUTL and OUTR.
Dynamic range is defined as the SNR of a 1kHz, -60dBFS input signal measured with an A-weighted filter, then normalized
to full scale (+60dB).
