The MAX98380 is a small, mono Class-D audio amplifier featuring an integrated capacitive boost converter. The device implements a tripler charge pump-based boost converter that efficiently delivers up to 4.85W at 1% THD+N into an 8Ω load. The capacitive boost replaces the large and expensive inductor required for an inductive boost with smaller, lower-profile capacitors that reduce the total PCB solution.
Additionally, as the power-supply voltage varies due to declining battery life, an on-chip limiter (DHT) automatically optimizes the headroom available to the Class-D amplifier to maintain consistent distortion and listening levels.
Thermal-foldback protection ensures robust behavior when the thermal limits of the device are reached. When enabled, it automatically reduces the output power when the temperature exceeds a user-specified threshold. This allows for uninterrupted music playback even at high ambient temperatures. Traditional thermal protection is also available in addition to robust overcurrent protection.
The device provides a PCM interface for audio data and a standard I2C interface for control data communication. The PCM interface supports audio playback using I2S, left-justified, and TDM audio data formats. A unique clocking structure eliminates the need for an external master clock for PCM communication. This reduces EMI and possible board coupling issues in addition to reducing the size and pin count.
Active emissions-limiting and edge-rate limiting 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.
The IC is available in a 0.35mm pitch 24-bump wafer-level package (WLP). It is specified over the extended, -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
