General Description

The MAX9741 stereo Class D audio power amplifier
provides Class AB amplifier performance with Class D
efficiency, conserving board space and eliminating the
need for a bulky heatsink. Using a Class D architecture,
it delivers 12W continuous output power into 8

Ω loads.

Proprietary and patent-protected modulation and switch-
ing schemes render the traditional Class D EMI suppres-
sion output filter unnecessary.

The MAX9741 offers two modulation schemes: a fixed-
frequency mode (FFM), and a spread-spectrum mode
(SSM) that reduces EMI-radiated emissions due to the
modulation frequency. The device utilizes a fully differ-
ential architecture, a full bridged output, and offers
comprehensive click-and-pop suppression.

The MAX9741 features high 80dB PSRR, low 0.07%
THD+N, and SNR in excess of 100dB. Short-circuit and
thermal-overload protection prevent the device from
being damaged during a fault condition. The MAX9741
is available in a 56-pin TQFN (8mm x 8mm x 0.8mm)
package. The MAX9741 is specified over the extended
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.
