Key Featrues

Single-Supply Operation (2.4V to 5.5V): The MAX9722A/MAX9722B operates efficiently on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.4V to 5.5V, making it ideal for portable devices where battery life and power efficiency are critical. This feature ensures compatibility with a wide range of power sources, enhancing versatility in various applications.
High PSRR (80dB at 217Hz): With an impressive power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR) of 80dB at 217Hz, the MAX9722A/MAX9722B effectively minimizes noise from digital power supplies. This eliminates the need for an additional linear regulator, reducing system complexity and cost while maintaining high audio quality.
DirectDrive® Architecture: The unique DirectDrive® architecture allows the amplifier to produce ground-referenced outputs from a single supply, eliminating the need for large DC-blocking capacitors. This saves board space, reduces component height, and lowers overall system cost, making it ideal for compact portable devices.
Integrated Click-and-Pop Suppression: The MAX9722A/MAX9722B includes comprehensive click-and-pop suppression circuitry, which ensures a smooth and noise-free audio experience during startup and shutdown. This feature enhances user satisfaction by preventing disruptive audio artifacts in portable audio equipment.
±8kV ESD-Protected Amplifier Outputs: The amplifier outputs are protected against electrostatic discharge (ESD) up to ±8kV (Human Body Model), ensuring robust durability in real-world applications. This protection reduces the risk of damage during handling or operation, improving reliability and longevity in portable devices.

Applications

Portable Audio Enhancement: The MAX9722A/MAX9722B is ideal for enhancing audio quality in portable devices such as MP3 players and smartphones. Its DirectDrive® architecture eliminates the need for bulky DC-blocking capacitors, ensuring high-quality sound with low distortion (0.009% THD+N) and extended battery life, making it perfect for on-the-go audio enthusiasts.
Compact Headphone Amplification: The MAX9722A/MAX9722B is well-suited for compact headphone amplification in devices like PDAs and portable audio equipment. With its space-saving 16-pin thin QFN package and ground-referenced outputs, it delivers up to 130mW per channel into 32Ω loads, providing powerful and clear audio in a small form factor.
Noise-Canceling Audio Systems: The MAX9722A/MAX9722B is ideal for noise-canceling audio systems in smartphones and notebooks. Its differential inputs enhance noise cancellation, while its high PSRR (80dB at 217Hz) allows operation from noisy digital supplies without additional regulators, ensuring clean audio output in noisy environments.
High-Performance Audio for Flat-Panel Monitors: The MAX9722A/MAX9722B is perfect for integrating high-performance audio into flat-panel monitors. With its integrated click-and-pop suppression and low quiescent current (5.5mA), it delivers crisp and clear audio without audible artifacts, enhancing the multimedia experience for users.
