General Description
The MAX98089 is a full-featured audio codec whose high
performance and low power consumption make it ideal
for portable applications.
Class D speaker amplifiers provide efficient amplification
for two speakers. Low radiated emissions enable com-
pletely filterless operation. Integrated bypass switches
optionally connect an external amplifier to the transducer
when the Class D amplifiers are disabled.
The IC features a stereo Class H headphone amplifier
that utilizes a dual-mode charge pump to maximize effi-
ciency while outputting a ground referenced signal that
does not require output coupling capacitors.
The IC also features a mono differential amplifier that can
also be configured as a stereo line output.
Two differential analog microphone inputs are available as
well as support for two PDM digital microphones. Integrated
switches allow for an additional microphone input as well
as microphone signals to be routed out to external devices.
Two flexible single-ended or differential line inputs may be
connected to an FM radio or other sources.
Integrated FlexSoundK technology improves loudspeak-
er performance by optimizing the signal level and fre-
quency response while limiting the maximum distortion
and power at the output to prevent speaker damage.
Automatic gain control (AGC) and a noise gate optimize
the signal level of microphone input signals to make best
use of the ADC dynamic range.
The device is fully specified over the -40NC to +85NC
extended temperature range.

Note 1: The IC is 100% production tested at TA = +25NC. Specifications over temperature limits are guaranteed by design.
Note 2: Analog supply current = IAVDD + IHPVDD. Speaker supply current = ISPKLVDD + ISPKRVDD. Digital supply current = IDVDD
+ IDVDDS1 + IDVDDS2.
Note 3: Clocking all zeros into the DAC.
Note 4: Dynamic range measured using the EIAJ method. -60dBFS, 1kHz output signal, A-weighted and normalized to 0dBFS.
f = 20Hz to 20kHz.
Note 5: Gain measured relative to the 0dB setting.
Note 6: The filter specification is accurate only for synchronous clocking modes, where NI is a multiple of 0x1000.
Note 7: 0dBFS for DAC input. 1VP-P for INA/INB inputs.
Note 8: LRCLK may be any rate in the indicated range. Asynchronous or noninteger MCLK/LRCLK ratios may exhibit some full-
scale performance degradation compared to synchronous integer related MCLK/LRCLK ratios.
Note 9: In master-mode operation, the accuracy of the MCLK input proportionally determines the accuracy of the sample clock rate.
Note 10: CB is in pF.

Low-Power, Stereo Audio Codec
with FlexSound Technology
Detailed Description
The MAX98089 is a fully integrated stereo audio codec
with FLEXSOUND technology and integrated amplifiers.
Two differential microphone amplifiers can accept signals
from three analog inputs. One input can be retasked to
support two digital microphones. Any combination of two
microphones (analog or digital) can be recorded simul-
taneously. The analog signals are amplified up to 50dB
and recorded by the stereo ADC. The digital record path
supports voice filtering with selectable preset highpass
filters and high stopband attenuation at fS/2. An automat-
ic gain control (AGC) circuit monitors the digitized signal
and automatically adjusts the analog microphone gain
to make best use of the ADC’s dynamic range. A noise
gate attenuates signals below the user-defined threshold
to minimize the noise output by the ADC.
The IC includes two analog line inputs. One of the line
inputs can be optionally retasked as a third analog micro-
phone input. Both line inputs support either stereo single-
ended input signals or mono differential signals. The line
inputs are preamplified and then routed to the ADC for
recording and/or to the output amplifiers for playback.
The single-ended line inputs signals from INA1 and INA2
can bypass the PGAs, and be connected directly to the
ADC input to provide the best dynamic range.
Integrated analog switches allow two differential micro-
phone signals to be routed out the third microphone input
to an external device. This eliminates the need for an
external analog switch in systems that have two devices
recording signals from the same microphone.
Through two digital audio interfaces, the device can
transmit one stereo audio signal and receive two stereo
audio signals in a wide range of formats including I2S,
PCM, and up to four mono slots in TDM. Each interface
can be connected to either of two audio ports (S1 and
S2) for communication with external devices. Both audio
interfaces support 8kHz to 96kHz sample rates. Each
input signal is independently equalized using 5-band
parametric equalizers. A multiband automatic level con-
trol (ALC) boosts signals by up to 12dB. One signal path
additionally supports the same voiceband filtering as the
ADC path.
The IC includes a stereo Class D speaker amplifier, a
high-efficiency Class H stereo headphone amplifier, and
a differential receiver amplifier that can be configured as
a single-ended stereo line output.
When the receiver amplifier is disabled, analog switches
allow RECP/RXINP and RECN/RXINN to be reused for
signal routing. In systems where a single transducer is
used for both the loudspeaker and receiver, an exter-
nal receiver amplifier can be routed to the left speaker
through RECP/RXINP and RECN/RXINN, bypassing the
Class D amplifier. If the internal receiver amplifier is used,
then leave RECP/RXINP and RECN/RXINN unconnected.
In systems where an external amplifier drives both the
receiver and the MAX98089’s line input, one of the dif-
ferential signals can be disconnected from the receiver
when not needed by passing it through the analog switch
that connects RECP/RXINP to RECN/RXINN.
The stereo Class D amplifier provides efficient amplifica-
tion for two speakers. The amplifier includes active emis-
sions limiting to minimize the radiated emissions (EMI)
traditionally associated with Class D. In most systems,
no output filtering is required to meet standard EMI limits.
To optimize speaker sound quality, the IC includes an
excursion limiter, a distortion limiter, and a power limiter.
The excursion limiter is a dynamic highpass filter with
variable corner frequency that increases in response
to high signal levels. Low-frequency energy typically
causes more distortion than useful sound at high sig-
nal levels, so attenuating low frequencies allows the
speaker to play louder without distortion or damage. At
lower signal levels, the filter corner frequency reduces
to pass more low frequency energy when the speaker
can handle it. The distortion limiter reduces the volume
when the output signal exceeds a preset distortion level.
This ensures that regardless of input signal and battery
voltage, excessive distortion is never heard by the user.
The power limiter monitors the continuous power into the
loudspeaker and lowers the signal level if the speaker is
at risk of overheating.
The stereo Class H headphone amplifier uses a dual-
mode charge pump to maximize efficiency while out-
putting a ground-referenced signal. This eliminates the
need for DC-blocking capacitors or a midrail bias for the
headphone jack ground return. Ground sense reduces
output noise caused by ground return current.
The IC integrates jack detection allowing the detection
of insertion and removal of accessories as well as button
presses.

Microphone Inputs
The device includes three differential microphone inputs
and a low-noise microphone bias for powering the micro-
phones (Figure 6). One microphone input can also be con-
figured as a digital microphone input accepting signals
from up to two digital microphones. Any two microphones,
analog or digital, can be recorded simultaneously.
In the typical application, one microphone input is used
for the handset microphone and the other is used as an
accessory microphone. In systems using a background
noise microphone, INA can be retasked as another
microphone input.
In systems where the codec is not the only device
recording microphone signals, connect microphones to
MIC2P/MIC2N and EXTMICP/EXTMICN. MIC1P/MIC1N
then become outputs that route the microphone signals
to an external device as needed. Two devices can then
record microphone signals without needing external
analog switches.
Analog microphone signals are amplified by two stages
of gain and then routed to the ADCs. The first stage offers
selectable 0dB, 20dB, or 30dB settings. The second
stage is a programmable-gain amplifier (PGA) adjustable
from 0dB to 20dB in 1dB steps. To maximize the signal-
to-noise ratio, use the gain in the first stage whenever
possible. Zero-crossing detection is included on the PGA
to minimize zipper noise while making gain changes.

Line Inputs
The device includes two sets of line inputs (Figure 7).
Each set can be configured as a stereo single-ended
input or as a mono differential input. Each input includes
adjustable gain to match a wide range of input signal
levels. If a custom gain is needed, the external gain
mode provides a trimmed feedback resistor. Set the gain
by choosing the appropriate input resistor and using the
following formula:
AVPGAIN = 20 x log (20kI/RIN)
The external gain mode also allows summing multiple
signals into a single input, by connecting multiple input
resistors as show in Figure 8, and/or inputting signals
larger than 1VP-P by adjusting the ration of the 20kI/RIN
less than 1.

Record Path Signal Processing
The device’s record signal path includes both automatic
gain control (AGC) for the microphone inputs and a digi-
tal noise gate at the output of the ADC (Figure 10).
Microphone AGC
The IC’s AGC monitors the signal level at the output of the
ADC and then adjusts the MIC1 and MIC2 analog PGA
settings automatically. When the signal level is below
the predefined threshold, the gain is increased up to its
maximum (20dB). If the signal exceeds the threshold,
the gain is reduced to prevent the output signal level
exceeding the threshold. When AGC is enabled, the
microphone PGA is not user programmable. The AGC
provides a more constant signal level and improves the
available ADC dynamic range.
Noise Gate
Since the AGC increases the levels of all signals below
a user-defined threshold, the noise floor is effectively
increased by 20dB. To counteract this, the noise gate
reduces the gain at low signal levels. Unlike typical noise
gates that completely silence the output below a defined
level, the noise gate in the IC applies downward expan-
sion. The noise gate attenuates the output at a rate of
1dB for each 2dB the signal is below the threshold with a
maximum attenuation of 12dB.
The noise gate can be used in conjunction with the AGC
or on its own. When the AGC is enabled, the noise gate
reduces the output level only when the AGC has set the
gain to the maximum setting. Figure 11 shows the gain
response resulting from using the AGC and noise gate.

natural user experience. The IC implements sidetone dig-
itally. Doing so helps prevent unwanted feedback into the
playback signal path and better matches the playback
audio signal. Sidestone is available in voice mode only.
Digital Audio Interfaces
The IC includes two separate playback signal paths and
one record signal path. Digital audio interface 1 (DAI1)
is used to transmit the recorded stereo audio signal and
receive a stereo audio signal for playback. Digital audio
interface 2 (DAI2) is used to receive a second stereo
audio signal. Use DAI1 for all full-duplex operations and
for all voice signals. Use DAI2 for music and to mix two
playback audio signals. The digital audio interfaces are
separate from the audio ports to enable either interface
to communicate with any external device connected to
either audio port.
Each audio interface can be configured in a variety of for-
mats including left justified, I2S, PCM, and time division
multiplexed (TDM). TDM mode supports up to 4 mono
audio slots in each frame. The IC can use up to 2 mono
slots per interface, leaving the remaining two slots avail-
able for another device. Table 9 shows how to configure
the device for common digital audio formats. Figures 16
and 17 show examples of common audio formats. By
default, SDOUTS1 and SDOUTS2 are set high imped-
ance when the IC is not outputting data to facilitate shar-
ing the bus. Configure the interface in TDM mode using
only slot 1 to transmit and receive mono PCM voice data.
The IC’s digital audio interfaces support both ADC to DAC
loop-through and digital loopback. Loop-through allows
the signal converted by the ADC to be routed to the DAC
for playback. The signal is routed from the record path to

Clock Control
The digital signal paths in the IC require a master clock
(MCLK) between 10MHz and 60MHz to function. The
MAX98089 requires an internal clock between 10MHz
and 20MHz. A prescaler divides MCLK by 1, 2, or 4 to
create the internal clock (PCLK). PCLK is used to clock
all portions of the IC.
The MAX98089 includes two digital audio signal paths,
both capable of supporting any sample rate from 8kHz
to 96kHz. Each path is independently configured to allow
different sample rates. To accommodate a wide range
of system architectures, four main clocking modes are
supported:
U PLL Mode: When operating in slave mode, enable the
PLL to lock onto any LRCLK input. This mode requires
the least configuration, but provides the lowest per-
formance. Use this mode to simplify initial setup or
when normal mode and exact integer mode cannot
be used.
U Normal Mode: This mode uses a 15-bit clock divider
to set the sample rate relative to PCLK. This allows
high flexibility in both the PCLK and LRCLK frequen-
cies and can be used in either master or slave mode.
U Exact Integer Mode (DAI1 only): In both master and
slave modes, common MCLK frequencies (12MHz,
13MHz, 16MHz, and 19.2MHz) can be programmed
to operate in exact integer mode for both 8kHz and
16kHz sample rates. In these modes, the MCLK and
LRCLK rates are selected by using the FREQ1 bits
instead of the NI, and PLL control bits.
U DAC Low-Power Mode: This mode bypasses the
PLL for reduce power consumptions and uses fixed
counters to generate the clocks. The DAI__DAC_LP
bits override the other clock settings.

Program NI1/NI2 to the nearest valid ratio and set NI1[0]/NI2[0] when PLL1/PLL2 = 1

adjusts NI1/NI2. When rapid lock mode is properly configured, the PLL starting point is
much closer to the correct value, thus speeding up lock time. Wait one LRCLK period
after programming NI1/NI2 before setting PLL1/PLL2 = 1.

Sample Rate Converter
The sample rate conversion circuit allows for both sam-
ple rate conversion and mixing of asynchronous audio
data from DAI1 (SDIN1) and DAI2 (SDIN2). The resulting
audio can be output through DAI1 to either SDOUTS1 or
SDOUTS2. The sample rate converter can be enabled on
a per channel basis, allowing for one channel of DAI1 to
output microphone data while the other channel is outputting
sample rate converted data.

Passband Filtering
Each digital signal path in the IC includes options for
defining the path bandwidth (Figure 19). The playback
and record paths connected to DAI1 support both voice
and music filtering while the playback path connected to
DAI2 supports music filtering only.
The voice IIR filters provide greater than 70dB stopband
attenuation at frequencies above fS/2 to reduce aliasing.
Three selectable highpass filters eliminate unwanted low-
frequency signals.
Use music mode when processing high-fidelity audio
content. The music FIR filters reduce power consump-
tion and are linear phase to maintain stereo imaging.
An optional DC-blocking filter is available to eliminate
unwanted DC offset.
In music mode, a second set of FIR filters are available to
support sample rates greater than 50kHz. The filters can
be independently selected for DAI1 and DAI2 and sup-
port both the playback and record audio paths.

Playback Path Signal Processing
The IC playback signal path includes automatic level
control (ALC) and a 5-band parametric equalizer (EQ)
(Figure 20). The DAI1 and DAI2 playback paths include
separate ALCs controlled by a single set of registers.
Two completely separate parametric EQs are included
for the DAI1 and DAI2 playback paths.
Automatic Level Control
The automatic level control (ALC) circuit ensures maxi-
mum signal amplitude without producing audible clip-
ping. This is accomplished by a variable gain stage that
works on a sample by sample basis to increase the gain
up to 12dB. A look-ahead circuit determines if the next
sample exceeds full scale and reduces the gain so that
the sample is exactly full scale.
A programmable low signal threshold determines the
minimum signal amplitude that is amplified. Select a
threshold that prevents the amplification of background
noise. When the signal level drops below the low signal
threshold, the ALC reduces the gain to 0dB until the sig-
nal increases above the threshold. Figure 21 shows an
example of ALC input vs. output curves.
The ALC can optionally be configured in multiband
mode. In this mode, the input signal is filtered into two
bands with a 5kHz center frequency. Each band is
routed through independent ALCs and then summed
together. In multiband mode, both bands use the same
parameters.

Parametric Equalizer
The parametric EQ contains five independent biquad
filters with programmable gain, center frequency, and
bandwidth. Each biquad filter has a gain range of Q12dB
and a center frequency range from 20Hz to 20kHz. Use a
filter Q less than that shown in Figure 22 to achieve ideal
frequency responses. Setting a higher Q results in non-
ideal frequency response. The biquad filters are series
connected, allowing a total gain of Q60dB.

Speaker Amplifiers
The IC integrates a stereo filterless Class D amplifier that
offers much higher efficiency than Class AB without the
typical disadvantages.
The high efficiency of a Class D amplifier is due to the
switching operation of the output stage transistors. In a
Class D amplifier, the output transistors act as current
steering switches and consume negligible additional
power. Any power loss associated with the Class D out-
put stage is mostly due to the I2R loss of the MOSFET
on-resistance, and quiescent current overhead.
The theoretical best efficiency of a linear amplifier is 78%,
however, that efficiency is only exhibited at peak output
power. Under normal operating levels (typical music
reproduction levels), efficiency falls below 30%, whereas
the IC’s Class D amplifier still exhibits 80% efficiency
under the same conditions.
Traditional Class D amplifiers require the use of exter-
nal LC filters or shielding to meet EN55022B and FCC
electromagnetic-interference (EMI) regulation standards.
Maxim’s patented active emissions limiting edge-rate
control circuitry reduces EMI emissions, allowing opera-
tion without any output filtering in typical applications.

Speaker Amplifier Signal Processing
The IC includes signal processing to improve the sound
quality of the speaker output and protect transducers
from damage. An excursion limiter dynamically adjusts
the highpass corner frequency, while a power limiter and
distortion limiter prevent the amplifier from outputting too
much distortion or power. The excursion limiter is located
in the DSP while the distortion limiter and power limiter
control the analog volume control (Figure 28). All three
limiters analyze the speaker amplifier’s output signal to
determine when to take action.
Excursion Limiter
The excursion limiter is a dynamic highpass filter that
monitors the speaker outputs and increases the highpass
corner frequency when the speaker amplifier’s output
exceeds a predefined threshold. The filter smoothly
transitions between the high and low corner frequency to
prevent unwanted artifacts. The filter can operate in four
different modes:
U Fixed-Frequency Preset Mode. The highpass corner
frequency is fixed at the upper corner frequency and
does not change with signal level.
U Fixed-Frequency Programmable Mode. The high-
pass corner frequency is fixed to that specified by the
programmable biquad filter.
U Preset Dynamic Mode. The highpass filter automati-
cally slides between a preset upper and lower corner
frequency based on output signal level.
U User-Programmable Dynamic Mode. The highpass
filter slides between a user-programmed biquad filter
on the low side to a predefined corner frequency on
the high side.

Table 25. Power Limiter Registers
Power Limiter
The IC’s power limiter tracks the continuous power deliv-
ered to the loudspeaker and briefly mutes the speaker
amplifier output if the speaker is at risk of sustaining
permanent damage.
Loudspeakers are typically damaged when the voice coil
overheats due to extended operation above the rated
power. During normal operation, heat generated in the
voice coil is transferred to the speaker’s magnet, which
transfers heat to the surrounding air. For the voice coil
to overheat, both the voice coil and the magnet must
overheat. The result is that a loudspeaker can operate
above its rated power for a significant time before it heats
sufficiently to cause damage.
The IC’s power limiter includes user-programmable time
constants and power thresholds to match a wide range
of loudspeakers. Program the power limiter’s threshold to
match the loudspeaker’s rated power handling. This can
be determined through measurement or the loudspeak-
er’s specification. Program time constant 1 to match the
voice coil’s thermal time constant. Program time constant
2 to match the magnet’s thermal time constant. The time
constants can be determined by plotting the voice coil’s
resistance vs. time as power is applied to the speaker.

Distortion Limiter
The IC’s distortion limiter ensures that the speaker amplifier’s output does not exceed the programmed THD+N limit.
The distortion limiter analyzes the Class D output duty cycle to determine the percentage of the waveform that is
clipped. If the distortion exceeds the programmed threshold, the output gain is reduced.

Headphone
DirectDrive Headphone Amplifier
Traditional single-supply headphone amplifiers have
outputs biased at a nominal DC voltage (typically half
the supply). Large coupling capacitors are needed to
block this DC bias from the headphone. Without these
capacitors, a significant amount of DC current flows to
the headphone, resulting in unnecessary power dis-
sipation and possible damage to both headphone and
headphone amplifier.
Maxim’s second-generation DirectDrive architecture
uses a charge pump to create an internal negative sup-
ply voltage. This allows the headphone outputs of the ICs
to be biased at GND while operating from a single supply
(Figure 1). Without a DC component, there is no need for
the large DC-blocking capacitors. Instead of two large
(220µF typ) capacitors, the IC’s charge pump requires
3 small ceramic capacitors, conserving board space,
reducing cost, and improving the frequency response of
the headphone amplifier.
Charge Pump
The dual-mode charge pump generates both the positive
and negative power supply for the headphone amplifier. To
maximize efficiency, both the charge pump’s switching fre-
quency and output voltage change based on signal level.
When the input signal level is less than 10% of PVDD,
the switching frequency is reduced to a low rate. This
minimizes switching losses in the charge pump. When
the input signal exceeds 10% of PVDD, the switching fre-
quency increases to support the load current.
For input signals below 25% of PVDD, the charge pump
generates Q(PVDD/2) to minimize the voltage drop
across the amplifier’s power stage and thus improve
efficiency. Input signals that exceed 25% of PVDD cause
the charge pump to output QPVDD. The higher output
voltage allows for full output power from the headphone
amplifier.
To prevent audible gliches when transitioning from the
Q(PVDD/2) output mode to the QPVDD output mode, the
charge pump transitions very quickly. This quick change
draws significant current from PVDD for the duration of
the transition. The bypass capacitor on PVDD supplies
the required current and prevents droop on PVDD.
The charge pump’s dynamic switching mode can be
turned off through the I2C interface. The charge pump
can then be forced to output either Q(PVDD/2) or QPVDD
regardless of input signal level.

Class H Operation
A Class H amplifier uses a Class AB output stage with
power supplies that are modulated by the output signal.
In the case of the ICs, two nominal power-supply differ-
entials of 1.8V (+0.9V to -0.9V) and 3.6V (+1.8V to -1.8V)
are available from the charge pump. Figure 29 shows the
operation of the output-voltage-dependent power supply.
Headphone Ground Sense (HPSNS)
HPSNS senses the ground return for the headphone
load. For optimal performance, connect HPSNS to the
ground pole of the jack through an isolated trace, as
shown in Figure 30. If HPSNS is not used, connect to the
analog ground plane.

Headphone Output Mixers
The headphone amplifier mixer accepts input from the
stereo DAC, the line inputs (single-ended or differential),
and the MIC inputs. Configure the mixer to mix any com-
bination of the available sources. When more than one
signal is selected, the mixer can be configured to attenu-
ate the signal by 6dB, 9dB, or 12dB. The stereo DAC
can bypass the headphone mixers, and be connected
directly to the headphone amplifiers to provide lower
power consumption.

Output Bypass Switches
The IC’s includes two output bypass switches that solve
common applications problems. When a single trans-
ducer is used for the loudspeaker and receiver, the need
exists for two amplifiers to power the same transducer.
Bypass switches connect the IC’s receiver amplifier
output to the speaker amplifier’s output, allowing either
amplifier to power the same transducer. In systems where
an external receiver amplifier is used, route its output to
the left speaker through RECP/RXINP and RECN/RXINN,
bypassing the Class D amplifier. In systems where an
external amplifier drives both the receiver and the IC’s
line input, one of the differential signals can be discon-
nected from the receiver when not needed by passing it
through the analog switch that connects RECP/RXINP to
RECN/RXINN.

Click-and-Pop Reduction
The IC includes extensive click-and-pop reduction cir-
cuitry. The circuitry minimizes clicks and pops at turn-on,
turn-off, and during volume changes.
Zero-crossing detection is implemented on all analog
PGAs and volume controls to prevent large glitches when
volume changes are made. Instead of making a volume
change immediately, the change is made when the audio
signal crosses the midpoint. If no zero-crossing occurs
within the timeout window, the change is forced.
Volume slewing breaks up large volume changes into the
smallest available step size and the steps through each
step between the initial and final volume setting. When
enabled, volume slewing also occurs at device turn-on
and turn-off. During turn-on the volume is set to mute
before the output is enabled. Once the output is on, the
volume ramps to the desired level. At turn-off the volume
is ramped to mute before the outputs are disabled.
When there is no audio signal zero-crossing detection
can prevent volume slewing from occurring. Enable
enhanced volume slewing to prevent the volume control-
ler from requesting another volume level until the previ-
ous one has been set. Each step in the volume ramp then
occurs after a zero crossing has occurred in the audio
signal or the timeout window has expired. During turn-off,
enhance volume slewing is always disabled.

Jack Detection
The IC features jack detection that can detect the insertion
and removal of a jack as well as the load type. When a jack
is detected, an interrupt on IRQ can be triggered (by set-
ting IJDET) to alert the microcontroller of the event. Figure
33 shows the typical configuration for jack detection.
Jack Insertion
To detect a jack insertion, the IC must have a power sup-
ply. Set JDETEN to enable jack detection circuitry and
apply a pullup current to JACKSNS. Set JDWK to mini-
mize supply current. Jack insertion can be performed in
shutdown or out of shutdown. Clear JDWK to differentiate
between headsets with a microphone and headphones
without a microphone. The voltage on JACKSNS is equal
to SPKLVDD as long as no load is applied to JACKSNS
and MICBIAS is disabled. Table 31 shows the change in
JKSNS that occurs when a jack is inserted.
Accessory Button Detection
After jack insertion, the MAX98089 can detect button
presses on accessories that include a microphone and
a switch that shorts the microphone signal to ground.
Set JDETEN to enable jack detection circuitry. Button
presses can be detected both when MICBIAS is enabled
and disabled. Table 32 shows the change in JKSNS that
occurs when the accessory button is pressed.
Jack Removal
The IC detects jack removal by monitoring JACKSNS for
transitions to the 11 state. Set JDETEN to enable jack
detection circuitry. Set JDWK to minimize supply current
if button detection is not required. Table 33 shows the
change in JKSNS that occurs when a jack is removed.
Jack removal can be done in shutdown or out of shutdown.

various device functions. The status register bits are set
when their respective events occur, and cleared upon
reading the register. Device status can be determined
either by poling register 0x00 or configuring the IRQ to

I2C Serial Interface
The IC features an I2C/SMBusK-compatible, 2-wire
serial interface comprising a serial-data line (SDA) and
a serial-clock line (SCL). SDA and SCL facilitate com-
munication between the IC and the master at clock rates
up to 400kHz. Figure 5 shows the 2-wire interface timing
diagram. The master generates SCL and initiates data
transfer on the bus. The master device writes data to the
IC by transmitting the proper slave address followed by
the register address and then the data word. Each trans-
mit sequence is framed by a START (S) or REPEATED
START (Sr) condition and a STOP (P) condition. Each
word transmitted to the IC is 8 bits long and is followed
by an acknowledge clock pulse. A master reading data
from the IC transmits the proper slave address followed
by a series of nine SCL pulses. The IC transmits data on
SDA in sync with the master-generated SCL pulses. The
master acknowledges receipt of each byte of data. Each
read sequence is framed by a START or REPEATED
START condition, a not acknowledge, and a STOP condi-
tion. SDA operates as both an input and an open-drain
output. A pullup resistor, typically greater than 500I, is
required on SDA. SCL operates only as an input. A pullup
resistor, typically greater than 500I, is required on SCL
if there are multiple masters on the bus, or if the single
master has an open-drain SCL output. Series resistors in
line with SDA and SCL are optional. Series resistors pro-
tect the digital inputs of the IC from high voltage spikes
on the bus lines, and minimize crosstalk and undershoot
of the bus signals.
Bit Transfer
One data bit is transferred during each SCL cycle. The
data on SDA must remain stable during the high period of
the SCL pulse. Changes in SDA while SCL is high are con-
trol signals (see the START and STOP Conditions section).
START and STOP Conditions
SDA and SCL idle high when the bus is not in use. A mas-
ter initiates communication by issuing a START condition.
A START condition is a high-to-low transition on SDA with
SCL high. A STOP condition is a low-to-high transition on
SDA while SCL is high (Figure 33). A START condition
from the master signals the beginning of a transmission
to the IC. The master terminates transmission, and frees
the bus, by issuing a STOP condition. The bus remains
active if a REPEATED START condition is generated
instead of a STOP condition.
Early STOP Conditions
The IC recognizes a STOP condition at any point during
data transmission except if the STOP condition occurs in
the same high pulse as a START condition. For proper
operation, do not send a STOP condition during the same
SCL high pulse as the START condition.

Slave Address
The slave address is defined as the seven most signifi-
cant bits (MSBs) followed by the read/write bit. For the
IC, the seven most significant bits are 0010000. Setting
the read/write bit to 1 (slave address = 0x21) configures
the IC for read mode. Setting the read/write bit to 0 (slave
address = 0x20) configures the ICs for write mode. The
address is the first byte of information sent to the IC after
the START condition.
Acknowledge
The acknowledge bit (ACK) is a clocked 9th bit that the
IC uses to handshake receipt each byte of data when
in write mode (Figure 35). The IC pulls down SDA dur-
ing the entire master-generated 9th clock pulse if the
previous byte is successfully received. Monitoring ACK
allows for detection of unsuccessful data transfers. An
unsuccessful data transfer occurs if a receiving device
is busy or if a system fault has occurred. In the event
of an unsuccessful data transfer, the bus master retries
communication. The master pulls down SDA during the
9th clock cycle to acknowledge receipt of data when the
IC is in read mode. An acknowledge is sent by the master
after each read byte to allow data transfer to continue. A
not acknowledge is sent when the master reads the final
byte of data from the IC, followed by a STOP condition.
Write Data Format
A write to the IC includes transmission of a START condi-
tion, the slave address with the R/W bit set to 0, one byte
of data to configure the internal register address pointer,
one or more bytes of data, and a STOP condition. Figure
36 illustrates the proper frame format for writing one byte
of data to the IC. Figure 37 illustrates the frame format for
writing n-bytes of data to the IC.

The slave address with the R/W bit set to 0 indicates
that the master intends to write data to the ICs. The ICs
acknowledge receipt of the address byte during the
master-generated 9th SCL pulse.
The second byte transmitted from the master configures
the IC’s internal register address pointer. The pointer tells
the IC where to write the next byte of data. An acknowl-
edge pulse is sent by the ICs upon receipt of the address
pointer data.
The third byte sent to the ICs contains the data that is writ-
ten to the chosen register. An acknowledge pulse from the
ICs signals receipt of the data byte. The address pointer
autoincrements to the next register address after each
received data byte. This autoincrement feature allows a
master to write to sequential registers within one continu-
ous frame. The master signals the end of transmission by
issuing a STOP condition. Register addresses greater
than 0xC7 are reserved. Do not write to these addresses.
Read Data Format
Send the slave address with the R/W bit set to 1 to initi-
ate a read operation. The IC acknowledges receipt of
its slave address by pulling SDA low during the 9th SCL
clock pulse. A START command followed by a read com-
mand resets the address pointer to register 0x00.
The first byte transmitted from the ICs is the content of
register 0x00. Transmitted data is valid on the rising
edge of SCL. The address pointer autoincrements after
each read data byte. This autoincrement feature allows
all registers to be read sequentially within one continuous
frame. A STOP condition can be issued after any number
of read data bytes. If a STOP condition is issued followed
by another read operation, the first data byte to be read
is from register 0x00.
The address pointer can be preset to a specific register
before a read command is issued. The master presets the
address pointer by first sending the IC’s slave address
with the R/W bit set to 0 followed by the register address.
A REPEATED START condition is then sent followed by the
slave address with the R/W bit set to 1. The IC then trans-
mits the contents of the specified register. The address
pointer autoincrements after transmitting the first byte.
The master acknowledges receipt of each read byte
during the acknowledge clock pulse. The master must
acknowledge all correctly received bytes except the last
byte. The final byte must be followed by a not acknowl-
edge from the master and then a STOP condition. Figure
38 illustrates the frame format for reading one byte from
the IC. Figure 39 illustrates the frame format for reading
multiple bytes from the ICs.

Filterless Class D Operation
Traditional Class D amplifiers require an output filter to
recover the audio signal from the amplifier’s output. The
filters add cost, increase the solution size of the amplifier,
and can decrease efficiency and THD+N performance.
The traditional PWM scheme uses large differential output
swings (2 x VDD peak to peak) and causes large ripple
currents. Any parasitic resistance in the filter components
results in a loss of power, lowering the efficiency.
The IC does not require an output filter. The device relies
on the inherent inductance of the speaker coil and the
natural filtering of both the speaker and the human ear
to recover the audio component of the square-wave out-
put. Eliminating the output filter results in a smaller, less
costly, more efficient solution.
Because the frequency of the IC’s output is well beyond
the bandwidth of most speakers, voice coil movement
due to the square-wave frequency is very small. Although
this movement is small, a speaker not designed to handle
the additional power can be damaged. For optimum
results, use a speaker with a series inductance > 10FH.
Typical 8I speakers exhibit series inductances in the
20FH to 100FH range.
RF Susceptibility
GSM radios transmit using time-division multiple access
(TDMA) with 217Hz intervals. The result is an RF signal
with strong amplitude modulation at 217Hz and its har-
monics that is easily demodulated by audio amplifiers.
The IC is designed specifically to reject RF signals; how-
ever, PCB layout has a large impact on the susceptibility
of the end product.
In RF applications, improvements to both layout and com-
ponent selection decrease the IC’s susceptibility to RF
noise and prevent RF signals from being demodulated into
audible noise. Trace lengths should be kept below 1/4 of
the wavelength of the RF frequency of interest. Minimizing
the trace lengths prevents them from functioning as anten-
nas and coupling RF signals into the IC. The wavelength
(l) in meters is given by: l = c/f where c = 3 x 108 m/s, and
f = the RF frequency of interest.
Route audio signals on middle layers of the PCB to allow
ground planes above and below to shield them from RF
interference. Ideally, the top and bottom layers of the
PCB should primarily be ground planes to create effec-
tive shielding.
Additional RF immunity can also be obtained by rely-
ing on the self-resonant frequency of capacitors as it
exhibits a frequency response similar to a notch filter.
Depending on the manufacturer, 10pF to 20pF capaci-
tors typically exhibit self resonance at the RF frequencies
of interest. These capacitors, when placed at the input
pins, can effectively shunt the RF noise to ground. For
these capacitors to be effective, they must have a low-
impedance, low-inductance path to the ground plane.
Avoid using microvias to connect to the ground plane
whenever possible as these vias do not conduct well at
RF frequencies.
Startup/Shutdown Sequencing
To ensure proper device initialization and minimal click-
and-pop, program the IC’s SHDN = 1 after configuring all
registers. Table 38 lists an example startup sequence for
the device. To shut down the IC, simply set SHDN = 0.
Table 38. Example Startup Sequence

2 Configure clocks 0x10 to 0x13, 0x19 to 0x1B

Many configuration options in the ICs can be made
while the devices are operating, however, some regis-
ters should only be adjusted when the corresponding
audio path is disabled. Table 39 lists the registers that
are sensitive during operation. Either disable the cor-
responding audio path or set SHDN = 0 while changing
these registers.
Component Selection
Optional Ferrite Bead Filter
In applications where speaker leads exceed 20mm,
additional EMI suppression can be achieved by using a
filter constructed from a ferrite bead and a capacitor to
ground (Figure 42). Use a ferrite bead with low DC resis-
tance, high-frequency (> 600MHz) impedance between
100I and 600I, and rated for at least 1A. The capacitor
value varies based on the ferrite bead chosen and the
actual speaker lead length. Select a capacitor less than
1nF based on EMI performance.
Input Capacitor
An input capacitor, CIN, in conjunction with the input
impedance of the IC line inputs forms a highpass filter
that removes the DC bias from an incoming analog
signal. The AC coupling capacitor allows the amplifier
to automatically bias the signal to an optimum DC level.
Assuming zero-source impedance, the -3dB point of the
highpass filter is given by:
-3dB IN IN
1
f2R C
=
π
Choose CIN so that f-3dB is well below the lowest fre-
quency of interest. For best audio quality use capacitors
whose dielectrics have low-voltage coefficients, such as
tantalum or aluminum electrolytic. Capacitors with high-
voltage coefficients, such as ceramics, may result in
increased distortion at low frequencies.
Charge-Pump Capacitor Selection
Use capacitors with an ESR less than 100mI for optimum
performance. Low-ESR ceramic capacitors minimize the
output resistance of the charge pump. Most surface-
mount ceramic capacitors satisfy the ESR requirement.
For best performance over the extended temperature
range, select capacitors with an X7R dielectric.

Charge-Pump Flying Capacitor
The value of the flying capacitor (connected between
C1N and C1P) affects the output resistance of the charge
pump. A value that is too small degrades the device’s
ability to provide sufficient current drive, which leads to a
loss of output voltage. Increasing the value of the flying
capacitor reduces the charge-pump output resistance to
an extent. Above 1FF, the on-resistance of the internal
switches and the ESR of external charge- pump capaci-
tors dominate.
Charge-Pump Holding Capacitors
The holding capacitors (bypassing HPVSS to HPGND
and HPVDD to HPGND) value and ESR directly affect the
ripple at HPVSS and HPVDD. Increasing the capacitor’s
value reduces output ripple. Likewise, decreasing the
ESR reduces both ripple and output resistance. Lower
capacitance values can be used in systems with low
maximum output power levels.

Recommended PCB Routing
The MAX98089EWY uses a 63-bump WLP package.
Figure 43 provides an example of how to connect to all
active bumps using 3 layers of the PCB. To ensure unin-
terrupted ground returns, use layer 2 as a connecting
layer between layer 1 and layer 3 and flood the remaining
area with ground.
Supply Bypassing, Layout, and Grounding
Proper layout and grounding are essential for optimum
performance. When designing a PCB for the ICs, parti-
tion the circuitry so that the analog sections of the IC are
separated from the digital sections. This ensures that the
analog audio traces are not routed near digital traces.
Use a large continuous ground plane on a dedicated
layer of the PCB to minimize loop areas. Connect AGND,
DGND, HPGND, SPKLGND, and SPKRGND directly to
the ground plane using the shortest trace length possible.
Proper grounding improves audio performance, minimizes
crosstalk between channels, and prevents any digital
noise from coupling into the analog audio signals.
Ground the bypass capacitors on MICBIAS, REG, and
REF directly to the ground plane with minimum trace
length. Also be sure to minimize the path length to
AGND. Bypass AVDD directly to AGND.
Connect all digital I/O termination to the ground plane
with minimum path length to DGND. Bypass DVDD,
DVDDS1, and DVDDS2 directly to DGND.
Place the capacitor between C1P and C1N as close as
possible to the ICs to minimize trace length from C1P to
C1N. Inductance and resistance added between C1P and
C1N reduce the output power of the headphone ampli-
fier. Bypass HPVDD and HPVSS with a capacitor located
close to HPVSS with a short trace length to HPGND. Close
decoupling of HPVSS minimizes supply ripple and maxi-
mizes output power from the headphone amplifier.
HPSNS senses ground noise on the headphone jack and
adds the same noise to the output audio signal, thereby
making the output (headphone output minus ground)
noise free. Connect HPSNS to the headphone jack shield
to ensure accurate pickup of headphone ground noise.
Bypass SPKLVDD and SPKRVDD to SPKLGND and
SPKRGND, respectively, with as little trace length as
possible. Connect SPKLP, SPKLN, SPKRP, and SPKRN
to the stereo speakers using the shortest traces pos-
sible. Reducing trace length minimizes radiated EMI.
Route SPKLP/SPKLN and SPKRP/SPKRN as differential
pairs on the PCB to minimize loop area, thereby the
inductance of the circuit. If filter components are used
on the speaker outputs, be sure to locate them as close
as possible to the IC to ensure maximum effectiveness.
Minimize the trace length from any ground-connected
passive components to SPKLGND and SPKRGND to
further minimize radiated EMI.

Route microphone signals from the microphone to the ICs
as a differential pair, ensuring that the positive and nega-
tive signals follow the same path as closely as possible
with equal trace length. When using single-ended micro-
phones or other single-ended audio sources, ground the
negative microphone input as close as possible to the
audio source and then treat the positive and negative
traces as differential pairs.
An evaluation kit (EV kit) is available to provide an exam-
ple layout for the IC. The EV kit allows quick setup of the
IC and includes easy-to-use software allowing all internal
registers to be controlled.
