The MAX98395 is a 11.7W high-efficiency, mono Class-DG speaker amplifier with industry leading quiescent power and a wide supply range that can even support single cell Li+ batteries or an external boost. MAX98395 also features current and voltage sense (I/V sense) and dynamic headroom tracking (DHT). Precision output current and voltage monitoring (I/V sense) enables speaker protection algorithms to be run by a host device. Spread spectrum modulation (SSM) and edge rate control minimize EMI and eliminate the need for the output filtering found in traditional Class-D devices.

To achieve industry-leading quiescent power, the Class-DG amplifier employs two supply rails, VBAT and PVDD, to supply the speaker amplifier. Additionally, as the power-supply voltage varies due to sudden transients and declining battery life, DHT automatically optimizes the headroom available to the Class-DG amplifier to maintain consistent distortion and listening levels. The DHT block provides both a dynamic range compressor (DRC) and a limiter that can operate as either a signal distortion limiter (SDL) or standard signal level limiter (SLL).

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. In TDM mode, the device can support up to 16 channels of audio data. A unique clocking structure eliminates the need for an external master clock for PCM communication, which reduces pin count and simplifies board layout.

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 over-current protection.

The device is available in a 0.4mm pitch, 28-bump wafer-level package (WLP). The device operates over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

    • Complete Access to all Hardware Registers

Product Details

The MAX98395 evaluation system (EV system) evaluates the MAX98395 mono Class-D audio amplifier featuring dynamic headroom tracking (DHT) and clock-and-data monitoring. The EV system consists of the IC development board (DEV board), Maxim’s audio interface board III (AUDINT3), USB cable, and IC evaluation software.

It is recommended that the DEV board be evaluated with the AUDINT3 board, as an EV system. The IC supports standard I2S, left-justified, and TDM digital audio interfaces, as well as I2C for control.

The AUDINT3 board provides the USB-to-PCM and USBto-I2C interfaces in addition to the 1.8V AVDD supply and the 1.2V DVDD and DVDDIO supplies that are needed to evaluate the DEV board. The IC DEV board requires two additional supply inputs, 3V to 5.5V (VBAT) and 3V to 14V (PVDD). Figure 1 details the DEV board and the AUDINT3 board.

The MAX98395 Evaluation Software provides complete access to all hardware registers.
