MAX98358
PDM Input Class D Audio Power Amplifier
General Description
The MAX98358 is a digital pulse-density modulated
(PDM) input Class D power amplifier that provides Class
AB audio performance with Class D efficiency. This IC
offers five selectable gain settings (3dB, 6dB, 9dB, 12dB,
and 15dB) set by a single gain-select input (GAIN). The IC
can be configured to produce a left channel, right channel,
or (left/2 + right/2) output from the stereo input data.
The MAX98358 takes a stereo pulse density modulated
(SPDM) input signal directly into the DAC. Data on the
rising edge of PDM_CLK is considered left-channel data
while data on the falling PDM_CLK edge is right channel.
A mono sum feature is also implemented with SPDM data
input by summing the data from both rising and falling
clock edges.
Active emissions-limiting, edge-rate limiting, and overshoot control circuitry greatly reduce EMI. A filterless
spread-spectrum modulation scheme eliminates the need
for output filtering found in traditional Class D devices and
reduces the component count of the solution.

MAX98358
PDM Input Class D Audio Power Amplifier
Detailed Description
The output stage features low-quiescent current, comprehensive click-and-pop suppression, and excellent RF
immunity. The IC offers Class AB audio performance with
Class D efficiency in a minimal board-space solution. The
Class D amplifier features spread-spectrum modulation
with edge-rate and overshoot control circuitry that offers
significant improvements in switch-mode amplifier radiated emissions. The amplifier features click-and-pop suppression that reduces audible transients on startup and
shutdown. The amplifier includes thermal-overload and
short-circuit protection.
The MAX98358 is a digital PDM input Class D power
amplifier. The PDM modulation scheme uses the relative
density of digital pulses to represent the amplitude of an
analog signal. The IC accepts stereo PDM data through
PDM_DATA and PDM_CLK.
SD_MODE selects which audio channel is output by the
amplifier and is used to put the IC into shutdown. The
GAIN pin offers five gain settings and allows the output of
the amplifier to be tuned to the appropriate level.
Digital Audio Interface
Table 1. PDM_CLK Channel Select
PDM_CLK EDGE
DIRECTION
CHANNEL
Rising edge
Left
Falling edge
Right
The IC takes a stereo PDM input signal directly into the
DAC. Data read on the rising edge of PDM_CLK is leftchannel data while data read on the falling PDM_CLK
edge is right channel (Table 1).
Supported PDM_CLK Rates

PDM Input Class D Audio Power Amplifier
SD_MODE Pin and Shutdown Operation
PDM Timing Characteristics
Figure 2 shows the PDM operation of the IC. The bitdepth is one bit and each bit alternates between leftchannel and right-channel data.
The IC features a low-power shutdown mode, drawing
less than 0.6µA (typ) of supply current. During shutdown,
all internal blocks are turned off, including setting the
output stage to a high-impedance state. Drive SD_MODE
low to put the IC into shutdown.
If the PDM generator produces data that is stuck at logichigh or logic-low, then the output of the IC is railed, forcing DC at the load. Therefore, it is recommended that the
PDM generator includes protection to detect this invalid
condition. If such a condition is detected, then the IC
should either be put into shutdown or PDM_CLK should
be stopped.
The state of SD_MODE determines the audio channel
that is sent to the amplifier output (Table 5).
Drive SD_MODE high to select the left channel of the
stereo input data. Drive SD_MODE high through a sufficiently small resistor to select the right channel of
the stereo input data. Drive SD_MODE high through a
sufficiently large resistor to select monomix mode where
both the left and right words of the stereo input data are
summed (left/2 + right/2). The monomix (left/2 + right/2)
mode is not supported for PDM_CLK rates 5.28MHz.
and above. RLARGE and RSMALL are determined by
the VDDIO voltage (logic voltage from control interface)
that is driving SD_MODE according to the following two
equations:
Standby Mode
The MAX98358 automatically enters standby mode when
PDM_CLK is removed. In standby mode, the Class D
speaker amplifier is turned off and the outputs go into
a high-impedance state, ensuring that the unwanted
current is not transferred to the load during this condition. Standby mode should not be used in place of the
shutdown mode because the shutdown mode provides
the lowest power consumption and the best power-on/off
click-and-pop performance.
RSMALL (kΩ) = 94.0 x VDDIO - 100

Figure 3 and Figure 4 show how to connect an external
resistor to SD_MODE when using an open-drain driver or
a pullup/down driver.
When the device is configured in left channel mode
(SD_MODE is directly driven to logic-high by the control interface) care must be taken to avoid violating
the Absolute Maximum Ratings limits for SD_MODE.
Ensuring that VDD is always greater than VDDIO is one
way to prevent SD_MODE from violating the Absolute
Maximum Ratings limits. If this is not possible in the
application (e.g., if VDD < 3.0V and VDDIO = 3.3V), then
it is necessary to add a small resistance (~2kΩ) in series
with SD_MODE to limit the current into the SD_MODE
pin. This is not a concern when using the right channel or
monomix modes.
Class D Speaker Amplifier
The filterless Class D amplifier offers much higher efficiency than Class AB amplifiers. The high efficiency of
a Class D amplifier is due to the switching operation of
the output stage transistors. Any power loss associated
with the Class D output stage is mostly due to the I2R
loss of the MOSFET on-resistance and quiescent current
overhead.
Ultra-Low EMI Filterless Output Stage
Traditional Class D amplifiers require the use of external
LC filters, or shielding, to meet EN55022B electromagnetic-interference (EMI) regulation standards. Maxim’s active
emissions-limiting edge-rate control circuitry and spreadspectrum modulation reduces EMI emissions while maintaining up to 92% efficiency.
Maxim’s spread-spectrum modulation mode flattens wideband spectral components while proprietary techniques
ensure that the cycle-to-cycle variation of the switching
period does not degrade audio reproduction or efficiency.
The ICs’ spread-spectrum modulator randomly varies the
switching frequency by ±20kHz around the center frequency (330kHz). Above 10MHz, the wideband spectrum
looks like noise for EMI purposes (Figure 5).
Speaker Current Limit
If the output current of the speaker amplifier exceeds the
current limit (2.8A typ), the IC disables the outputs for
approximately 100µs. At the end of the 100µs, the outputs
are re-enabled. If the fault condition still exists, the IC continues to disable and re-enable the outputs until the fault
condition is removed.

PDM Input Class D Audio Power Amplifier
Gain Selection
The IC offers five programmable gain selections through
a singel gain input (GAIN). Gain is referenced to the
full-scale output of the DAC, which is 2.1dBV (Table 7).
Assuming that the desired output swing is not limited by
the supply voltage rail, the IC’s output level can be calculated based on the PDM input ones’s density and selected
amplifier gain according to the following equation:
Output signal level (dBV) = 20 x log[abs(PDM one’s
density(%) - 50) /25] (dBFS) + 2.1dB + selected
speaker amplifier gain (dB)
where the one’s density of the PDM input ranges from
75% (maximum positive magnitude) to 25% (maximum
negative magnitude). 0dFBS is referenced to 0dBV.
Click-and-Pop Suppression
The IC speaker amplifier features Maxim’s comprehensive click-and-pop suppression. During startup, the
click-and-pop suppression circuitry reduces audible transient sources internal to the device. To achieve optimal
click-and-pop reduction at startup, it is recommended
that idle data be sent to the digital audio interface for the
first 0.5ms of turn-on time. When entering shutdown, the
differential speaker outputs simultaneously drop to GND.

Filterless Class D Operation
Traditional Class D amplifiers require an output filter
to recover the audio signal from the amplifier’s output.
The filter adds cost, size, and decreases efficiency and
THD+N performance. The MAX98358’s filterless modulation scheme does not require an output filter. The device
relies on the inherent inductance of the speaker coil and
the natural filtering of both the speaker and the human ear
to recover the audio component of the square-wave output.
Because the switching frequency of the IC is well beyond
the bandwidth of most speakers, voice coil movement due
to the switching frequency is very small. Use a speaker
with a series inductance > 10µH. Typical 8Ω speakers
exhibit series inductances in the 20µH to 100µH range.
Power-Supply Input
VDD, which ranges from 2.5V to 5.5V, powers the IC,
including the speaker amplifier. Bypass VDD with a 0.1µF
and 10µF capacitor to GND. Some applications might
require only the 10µF bypass capacitor, making it possible to operate with a single external component. Apply
additional bulk capacitance at the IC if long input traces
between VDD and the power source are used.
Layout and Grounding
Proper layout and grounding are essential for optimum
performance. Good grounding improves audio performance and prevents switching noise from coupling into
the audio signal.
Use wide, low-resistance output traces. As load impedance decreases, the current drawn from the device
outputs increases. At higher current, the resistance of
the output traces decreases the power delivered to the
load. For example, if 2W is delivered from the speaker
output to a 4Ω load through 100mΩ of total speaker
trace, 1.904W is being delivered to the speaker. If power
is delivered through 10mΩ of total speaker trace, 1.951W
is being delivered to the speaker. Wide output, supply,
and ground traces also improve the power dissipation of
the IC. Parasitic capacitance on the output causes higher
quiescent current by VDD x 330kHz x CPARASITIC.
For example, at VDD and a total parasitic capacitance of
100pF (50pF on each output trace), the increase in quiescent current is: 5 x 330kHz x 100pF = 165µA.
The IC is inherently designed for excellent RF immunity.
For best performance, add ground fills around all signal
traces on top or bottom PCB planes.
