10W Stereo/15W Mono, Filterless, Spread-Spectrum, Class D Amplifiers
General Description
The MAX9703/MAX9704 mono/stereo Class D audio power amplifiers provide Class AB amplifier performance with Class D efficiency, conserving board space and eliminating the need for a bulky heatsink. Using a Class D architecture, these devices deliver up to 15W while offering up to 78% efficiency. Proprietary and patent-protected modulation and switching schemes render the traditional Class D output filter unnecessary. The MAX9703/MAX9704 offer two modulation schemes: a fixed-frequency mode (FFM), and a spread-spectrum mode (SSM) that reduces EMI-radiated emissions due to the modulation frequency.
