+2.7V to +5.5V supply. They have >85% efficiency and
are capable of delivering 2W continuous power to a 4鈩?/div>
load, making them ideal for portable multimedia and
general-purpose high-power audio applications.
The MAX4295/MAX4297 feature a total harmonic distor-
tion plus noise (THD+N) of 0.4% (f
OSC
= 125kHz), low
quiescent current of 2.8mA (MAX4295) or 4.6mA
(MAX4297), high efficiency, and clickless power-up and
shutdown. The
SHDN
input disables the device and lim-
its supply current to <1.5碌A(chǔ) (MAX4295) or <2.3碌A(chǔ)
(MAX4297). Other features include a 1A current limit,
thermal protection, and under-voltage lockout.
The MAX4295 (mono) and MAX4297 (stereo) reduce
the number of required external components. Both
devices have internal high-speed power-MOS transis-
tors, allowing operation as bridge-tied load (BTL) ampli-
fiers. The BTL configuration eliminates the need for
isolation capacitors on the output. The frequency-selec-
table pulse-width modulator (PWM) allows the user to
optimize the size and cost of the output filter.
The MAX4295 is offered in a space-saving 16-pin
QSOP package, and the MAX4297 is offered in a com-
pact 24-pin SSOP package.
