MAX98358:PDM Input Class D Audio Power Amplifier

High-Performance, Low-Noise Digital Input Class D Amplifier

The MAX98358 is a digital pulse-density modulated (PDM) input Class D power amplifier that provides Class AB audio performance with Class D efficiency. This IC offers five selectable gain settings (3dB, 6dB, 9dB, 12dB, and 15dB) set by a single gain-select input (GAIN). The IC can be configured to produce a left channel, right channel, or (left/2 + right/2) output from the stereo input data. The MAX98358 takes a stereo pulse density modulated (SPDM) input signal directly into the DAC. Data on the rising edge of PDM_CLK is considered left-channel data while data on the falling PDM_CLK edge is right channel. A mono sum feature is also implemented with SPDM data input by summing the data from both rising and falling clock edges. Active emissions-limiting, edge-rate limiting, and overshoot control 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 9-pin WLP (1.345mm x 1.435mm x 0.64mm) and 16-pin TQFN (3mm x 3mm x 0.75mm) packages and is specified over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
