Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX98360A/B/C/D Digital Class-D Amplifiers

Analog Devices Inc. MAX98360A/B/C/D Digital Class-D Amplifiers are easy-to-use, low-cost, digital pulse-code modulation (PCM) input Class-D amplifiers. These amplifiers provide industry-leading, Class-AB audio performance with Class-D efficiency. The digital audio interface automatically recognizes different PCM and TDM clocking schemes, eliminating the need for I2C programming. By supplying power, LRCLK, BCLK, and digital audio generates audio. Furthermore, a novel pinout allows customers to use the cost-effective WLP package without needing expensive vias. The digital audio interface is highly flexible. The devices support I2S, left-justified, and 8-channel time division multiplexed (TDM) data formats. The digital audio interface accepts 8kHz, 16kHz, 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, and 96kHz sample rates. Data words can be 16-bit, 24-bit, or 32-bit in I2S, left-justified modes, and 16-bit or 32-bit in TDM mode.

Digital audio interface input thresholds are ideal for interfacing with 1.2V and 1.8V logic. The devices can tolerate logic input voltages up to 5.5V. The MAX98360A and MAX98360B have fast 1ms turn-on times, while the MAX98360C and MAX98360D ramp the volume over 13ms during turn-on and turn-off. The devices eliminate the need for the external MCLK signal typically used for PCM communication. This reduces EMI, possible board coupling issues, and the size and pin count. The devices also feature a very high wideband jitter tolerance (12ns, typ) on BCLK and LRCLK to provide robust operation.

Active emissions-limiting, edge-rate limiting, and overshoot control circuitry greatly reduces 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. ADI MAX98360A/B/C/D Digital Class-D Amplifiers are specified over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
