2.6W Stereo Audio Power Amplifiers and DirectDrive Headphone Amplifiers
General Description
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 patented DirectDrive architecture that produces a ground-referenced output from a single supply, eliminating the need for large DCblocking 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. 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 spacesaving, thermally efficient 28-pin thin QFN (5mm x 5mm x 0.8mm) and 28-pin TSSOP-EP packages. Both devices have thermal-overload and output short-circuit protection, and are specified over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

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 patented DirectDrive architecture that eliminates the bulky output DC-blocking capacitors required by traditional headphone amplifiers. A charge pump inverts the positive supply (CPVDD), creating a negative supply (CPVSS). The headphone amplifiers operate from these bipolar supplies with their outputs biased about GND (Figure 2).
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

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 patented DirectDrive architecture uses a charge pump to create 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: 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

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
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,

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 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).
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.
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.
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.

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).
