MAX98400A

The MAX98400A/MAX98400B are available in 36-pin and 24-pin TQFN packages, respectively, and are specified over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range. The MAX98400A delivers 2x20W into 8I loads or 1x40W into a 4I load. The MAX98400B delivers 2x12W into 8I loads. An integrated limiting circuit prevents output clipping distortion, protects small speakers from transient voltages, and reduces power dissipation. The MAX98400A/MAX98400B Class D amplifiers provide high-performance, thermally efficient amplifier solutions. A thermal-foldback feature can be enabled to automatically reduce the output power at above a junction temperature of +120°C. Traditional thermal protection is also available in addition to robust overcurrent protection. Filterless modulation of MAX98400A allows the ICs to pass EN55022B EMI limits with 1m cables using only a low-cost ferrite bead and small-value capacitor on each output. Both devices feature eight digitally controlled gain settings. The ICs operate from a single 8V to 28V supply and provide a high 67dB PSRR, eliminating the need for a regulated power supply. MAX98400A offer up to 90% efficiency from a 12V supply. Comprehensive click-and-pop reduction circuitry minimizes noise coming into and out of shutdown.

The features of MAX98400A can be summarized as (1)wide 8V to 28V supply voltage range; (2)single-supply operation; (3)low EMI: active emissions limiting; (4)clipping limiter; (5)low quiescent current; (6)thermal foldback; (7)thermal and overcurrent protection.
